Exhausted from the short but difficult trek through the forest, the pair stopped to catch their breath. They were in a plaza, that had a mix of humans and odd grey skinned humanoids, that also appeared to have horns. There was no odd clothing or strange walks, so they blended in quite nicely. Above the plaza, hanging from two buildings, was a banner that depicted a green house, separated into different sections. At the sight of this, the Doctors eyes widened. "Oh" he breathed. "What?" asked Amy, oblivious.
"Amy, I would love to explain right now, but lets go somewhere quieter, to someone who can explain" Amy, still curious, didn't inquire further as the doctor held out his sonic and made his way down the streets. Soon, in a downtown looking area, they came upon an apartment complex, or at least, a building that resembled one. The Doctor examined a panel near the door with a microphone, a speaker, and buttons that read 'Number: _'. After scanning the panel with the sonic, he punched button 69.
A sleepy sounding american voice crackled over the speaker, "Hello? What do you want?" Oblivious to the obvious harsh tone of the voice the Doctor replied with "Yes?Oh! Me and my friend here would like to talk to you about 'Sburb'. Hello?". There was no answer, but the door clicked and gave a mild hiss, as a knob turned. Amy tried the door, and when she found it to be unlocked, stepped in, the Doctor close behind her.
They quickly wound their way up a set of stairs until they reached a sign that read 'Numbers 60 through 70 -'. Reaching room 69, Amy knocked on the door. "Hello?" The door pulled open and Amy, who had been leaning on the door, almost fell into the figure standing in the doorway. He was young, no older than 20, surely, with platinum blonde hair and a pair of aviator shades perched high on his nose. He wore a white T-shirt, with plain red pajama pants. He stared at them through the slightly transparent shades (though only his eye movements were distinguishable). "Well? Are you going to come in?" he stepped back and beckoned at them to come in.
When the Doctor and Amy were settled on the couch, the young man sat across from them on a small sofa. "How do you know about Sburb?" the man asked. "Well can we have your name first?" Amy asked scornfully. "Dave. Dave Strider." The Doctor stared at Dave, and then said "Well Dave, I'm sure you know something about time and space traveling. I do both. Me and my friend here accidentally fell into another universe, unfortunatley" Dave nodded understandingly. The Doctor continued "Sburb is actually commonly known among my people. When I saw the logo in the plaza, I knew where we were. However, Amy, my friend here, knows nothing about it. would you mind helping me explain it to her?"
And well, that's a story you already know. Let's skip to the end of that, shall we?
