Rebecca paused as she unwrapped the sandwich she had brought for lunch, enjoying the feel of the wind in her hair. The picnic bench outside the dealership was the perfect place to slip away for a few undisturbed minutes and enjoy a quiet lunchbreak. She replayed the events from earlier over again in her head and wondered for the umpteenth time why she didn't just quit.

Because I've got bills to pay, that's why, she thought glumly. Renting out half of a duplex to live in wasn't a cheap task, especially when you lived on your own. And with her monthly car payments and insurance it was obvious that she couldn't just break free and walk away. At least not until she found something else. There has to be something better, she thought. Maybe I should start sending out a resume, see if I get any hits. She had worked there for a number of years. And every just seemed to get worse and worse and harder to make herself go in. But when she was being completely honest with herself, she could see that it wasn't just her job she was fed up with. It was just on overall disasisfaction in general. She couldn't help wondering why she expected just so much MORE out of life.

Her thoughts were interupted when she saw someone in her peripheral vision. Two someones. Surprised at seeing anyone approach the dealership from this direction she turned to face them as they walked toward her and felt like she had been electrified. The man was tall and thin, with a mop of unruly brown hair that seemed to fall haphazardly across his forehead. He was without a doubt the best looking man she had ever seen. The blonde girl he was with walked with such a confidant and almost lacksidasical grace that made Rebecca almost swoon with envy. She couldn't even exactly say what it was about them that intrigued her so. They had an almost...otherwordly prescense about them. It pulled her in like a leaf in a whirlpool.

She brushed the crumbs off her lap and stood up when they got close to the table.

"Can I help you?" she asked politely, trying to keep the curiosity out of her voice.

Without hesitation the man responded, "You work here, yes?" while pointing to her nametag.

For better or worse, she thought to herself before ansewring, "Yes, sir, I do. Is there something I can do for you today?"

For a quick second the blonde flashed her eyes to her partner, almost seeming to say, This one's all yours, buddy.

He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Yes, you can. We are representatives from General Motors here to preform a brief inspection on your facility."

She found she was slightly mesmerized by his British accent. "O-okay," she stammered, "I'll take you in to my manager."

The stranger's face broke out in a smile that Rebecca was sure would bring the sun back out on a cloudy day. She couldn't help but smile back at him warmly. "Just follow me, okay?" She turned and, gathering up her purse and the rest of her lunch, started walking back into the building.

"Oh," exclaimed the blonde girl, "Are we interupting your lunch?" It was the first time she had spoken since they arrived.

Rebecca smiled easily. "No, it's okay. I was just about finished up anyway." And it was true. While she usually couldn't stand to have her free time interupted, since she had so little of it throughout the day, she found herself wanting to help these two strangers, if she could. Something about them..."I didn't quite catch your names." she asked, since they weren't wearing nametags. Which was a bit odd now that she thought of it, since usually people who came from GM always dressed pretty fancy and wore laminated tags with their names on them. Her eyes flicked over them again quickly. He was wearing a blue suit with...red converse sneakers and the girl was dressed even more casually in blue slacks and a white top.

The blonde held out her hand. "Sorry! How rude of us! I'm Rose. Rose Tyler. And this is the Doctor."

Rebecca shook her hand and stifled a giggle as she turned to the man. "The...Doctor?"

"Oh yes! Just call me Doctor." He shook her hand and she had to stifle a gasp. It almost felt like sparks igniting when their skin made contact. She turned and started walking again, utterly bewildered at the effect these two were having on her.
