"Get down" I dived down as a lazer bolt was shot into the Tardis. The door slammed shut and I jumped to my feet. We had gotten in trouble again with some nasty aliens who wanted mine and Dad's life force, well mainly Dad's since I wasn't a full TimeLord. They  could see through the bi damper, they were that...whatever.

"Did they see you?" Dad questioned Martha and I

"No" I gave a clear answer Martha didn't.

"I Don't know." I panted trying to catch my breath

"Martha, it's important did they see your face?" He questioned still holding us.

"No, they couldn't have." she replied ad he let go.

"Right off we go then." He stripped his coat and set about getting us the hell out of here. Alarms started blaring and he pulled the screen round.

"Ah! They're following us."

"How can they do that, you've got a time machine?" Martha questioned

"Stolen technology. They've got a time agent's vortex manipulator. They can follow us wherever we go. Right across the universe. They're never gonna stop." he breathed scratching his head.

"So what do we do?" I asked he said nothing.

"Dad!" he looked at me "What do we do?"

"We'll have to do it?" I shook my head no idea what he was talking about

"Do what?"

"Martha, you trust us right?" Dad asked

"Of course I do." She replied,Dad ducks down  to get something.

"Cause it all depends on you."

"What does? What am i supposed to do?" he brings up two watches and showed them to the two of us. I was still clueless even though I had the feeling I wasn't going to like what he was going to suggest.

"Take these watches. Because our lives depend upon it. These watches Martha.These watches are..."

John Smith wakes up from yet another dream and takes in his surrounding before sitting up in his bead. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He answers. Martha dressed in a maid uniform entered with a tray of breakfast.

"Oh pardon me Mr Smith, you're not dressed yet. I can come back later." She turns to leave as Mr Smith grabs his robe and slips it on, standing up.

"No, it's alright. It's alright, put it down." She turns back and places down the tray.

"I was um..." John trailed off "Sorry, sorry." he says and Martha begins to open up the curtains.

"Sometimes i have these extraordinary dreams."

"What about, Sir?" Martha asks going to open more curtains.

"I dream i'm this....adventurer. This daredevil. Madman...The Doctor i'm called. And last night I dreamt that you were there, and my niece as my companions."

"A teacher and a house maid, sir? That's impossible?" She denied

"I'm a man from another world you know" He moves over to the fireplace

"Well then it can't bee true because there is no such thing." She started pouring out the morning tea for him that accompanied his breakfast.

"This thing, the watch...." Martha looks at him holding it with a knowing and a glimmer of hope. He puts it back down. "It's funny how dreams slip away. But i do remember one thing, it all took place in the future. In the year of our Lord 2007" Martha smiled
