After the Wedding of River Song and The Doctor (Matt Smith) They decided to finally complete their Timelord (and lady) lives and have a child to care for while exploring the Universe.

They both decided they wanted someone who they can tell their stories to about how they met, and someone to pass on the baton so to speak, but not everything went to plan as the TARDIS had other ideas.

Just as 'The Child of the TARDIS' Junior was born everything was going so well until... the TARDIS realised there was a paradox in its midst, ( and we all know how much the TARDIS hates a paradox) she decided to shutdown all of her systems mid flight! In the middle of the Time Vortex and then the Cloister Bell rang.

"Something is wrong with her!" The doctor screamed as he tried flicking the switches to understand the problem.

"Did you leave the handbrakes on once again!?" River asked abruptly. Continuing to argue The doctor gave River a look and said "I never leave the hand breaks on River you should know this!" Sarcastically River replies "Well that's your habit sweetie! That's why she doesn't like the way you fly!"

As they both battled to try and keep the TARDIS in flight they both forgotten and failed to notice that The Child of the TARDIS (Junior) was on the verge of falling out of the front door.

The TARDIS then deactivated the anti gravity and the child fell into the Vortex.

"Junior!!" They both screamed in horror. Through the Vortex he fell forcing young Junior to regenerate not once but twice.

The TARDIS dematerialised out of sight with The Doctor and River still inside whilest Junior vanished out of sight.

Now with The TARDIS out of sight and no hope or end to the fall Juniors story begins and the Vortex disappears and Junior begins falling to the earths atmosphere.

It's a quiet day on Earth, nothing out of the ordinary (or atleast we thought)

(Junior crash lands on earth through a garden shed roof)

An unknown voice screams "What the hell!" And runs towards where the crash land has happened, Junior breathes out an essence of golden particals

"Who are you and what are you doing in my shed?" The voice asks Junior then replies, " I fell from up there" (he points to the sky still dazed and confused then looks at the person and asks "where am I?" He replies, (with confusion) "My home" he replies, Junior scratches his head in confusion not knowing who or where he is (as of yet) I'm Dylan the voice proclaims

"Junior I think" he abruptly replies they both sit down for just a few moments and Junior briefly explains how he got to that point (from what he can remember)

In a quick moment Junior gets up in realisation. "I need to borrow your kitchen! If you don't mind"

Dylan replies "Never mind the kitchen my Mother is going to kill you when she sees the shed and you destroyed her bike!"
(Junior looks at the bike with confusion)
"Well I'm sure I can fix it... we'll maybe not..."
Before Junior could even finish Dylan quickly interrupts.

"She's due home any moment now and you still haven't told me who you are just Junior, Junior Who?"

Junior then gives a wicked smile and says "So that's what that feels like, so yes! Kitchen! Take me now... please."

Dylan replies "What on earth do you need the kitchen for? Are you hungry?"

(Junior smiles and shakes his head)
"No of course not and I may need some tools from what's left of this thing" (he points at the shed)

A few moments pass and Junior and Dylan are still conversing in the garden, Dylan takes Junior to the kitchen and asks "Alright what do you need?" Junior points at the objects he needs which are;

A number of spoons
A crystal like object
Old cutlery knives which he binds all together
A torch
A lot of circuits and wires
An old bulb from old Christmas lights
Then finally a button

"I've done it! I must still have the knowledge of my parents" he screams Dylan then responds "your parents being?"

"Gone... I don't know... just gone" he looks at Dylan with sadness, "moving on" as he tests his creation, "what even is that!?" Dylan asks with curiosity "A sonic screwdriver are you gonna ask questions all day!?" Dylan then looks at Junior with sarcasm... "Well a guy just did randomly fall out of the sky on Halloween and raid my mothers Kitchen to make a noisy spanner" He replies "Screwdriver! It's a screwdriver! Don't diss the sonic!"

They both walk towards the gate of the front garden and see Dylan's mother coming up the street, they attempt to turn around but they both pause "something isn't right" Junior proclaims to Dylan "Yes it's Halloween" Dylan replies...

Junior then sonics the atmosphere and then gets a strange reading "we need to get inside! Now don't ask any questions, just go inside I'll be there with you" Junior and Dylan run to the back door and Junior turns around for a brief moment just to make sure he is sure of what he has seen.

A robotic voice then moves towards Juniors location "It can't be!" He whispers to himself!
The voice then screams "We must seek and locate, we have detected an unearthly presence, seek, locate and destroy!"

Junior quickly goes inside the house with Dylan and his mother "Oh I wish I was more clever than this! I really shouldn't of used my sonic!"

"What the hell is going on!?" Dylan's mother asks with exclamation!

"They must of tracked the signal of my sonic, I was only giving it a test run I've never seen one up close before!" Junior replies

Dylan then asks "It looks like a pepper pot with an attitude what on earth is it?"

Junior seems like he's a lot angrier and more serious now.

"That is the most destructive thing in the universe so the stories say, my dad used to read about them to me as a child."

"But what at they!?" Dylan asks slowly losing patience.

The voice can be heard patrolling from outside.
"Seek, Locate, Destoy!!""

Junior has a really serious look on his face.
"Daleks... and they shouldn't be here!"
