The snow fell on New York street. The people were smiling, And at the time. People were worried. All the people had seen the towers fall months ago. And all the missing posters around the city, from the families that hadn't been told that their loved ones were killed on the planes or in the towers. The doctor was out alot.. But whenever Abby went over to her job. She saw the little blue box outside the store. With the snow covering most of it, with some even being on the windows. Whenever she saw the bright blue british box she knew he didn't go off. For some reason the doctor had a weird thing for earth. Where he would love to be there and be a tour guide to the person that was traveling with him in the tardis. But New York was different. Abby had known all the facts about New York and was busy most of the time, being at work and making sure her mum was fine. But when the doctor was out, he took moments to look around him.seeing All gleaming lights at night. The taxis slowly went through the snow, leaving tire marks imprinted on the white clean snow. For anyone, there would be nothing for it. Just the thought of getting out of the freezing cold and back home. But for the doctor, He would do this thing. Whenever he felt sad, annoyed or just bored. He would take his phone. Jack in the headphones and look around the city. At shops. Or just around the more lesser known parts of the city. His music would take him wherever it took him. And it worked so many times. But he just watched the boats go by. Like a little kid. But he always liked to see the baby blue sky turning dark as all the people still were out. But there were a few parts of new york the doctor hated. One was the homeless people. It wasn't like he hated them all and wished they were all dead. He hated to see them on the street. Since it was the past. The doctor was worried if he gave any of them money that the timeline would change. And he wouldn't have had the right kind of change. So really anytime he walked past them he would feel like a bastard. Seeing people look at him and feeling like he was a monster walking around the city. Or if everyone knew he was an alien. He walked around as his old tacky black boots left footprints behind him. He always felt like or wished he was a long lasting foot print on all planets. How some people would ask the old timelord of what he's seen thought out all his years. Sometimes he forgets points in his life. He still knows alot of stuff. Like torchwood 1,2 and 3. And so many things.. The sunset of odin. Where the biggest sun in the universe sets on a nice little planet. The planet odin was a pink rose filled planet. With no one living on it, no trees were cut down or anything under the sorts. That's why it's the best place to watch it set. There was always something that was fantastic so watch that sunset. And it only happened once a decade. So it's rare to see it. But for a person that had a time machen, It was just another day for him. The stranger walked back to Abby's home. He got to the door and it opened with abby on the other side of it. the young red head that had her suitcases in her hand. The doctor looked at her and was shocked. Since he didnt say to her when they were meant to go.she was wearing dark red jeans with some little green socks. Her shirt had a little cat on it with a blue background ''Hmmm why are you ready ? I haven't said when we were going out. And I need to make sure the tardis is up and running before we could even think of leaving earth. '' he said as he slid past her. Leaving snow on the floor as he took his boots off. He tore his gloves off his hands and rubbed his hands a bit. Abby felt abit dumb and sat down. While putting her bags and suitcases down.''Sorry doc. Just got a bit too excited. Since the last time you showed me the future...'' she said as the doctor looked at her. With a smile. ''Nah it's ok. You're lucky. The rest before you just jumped in and then we were off. Sorry i should have said i-'' he was stopped as abby sat up. ''Wait there were more people that were with you before me ? what are you ? a alien pimp ? am i another slut on your photo wall ?'' he spat out his coffee he had picked up when he was out. ''W-what ? no off course not. It's just that I have met a lot of people. And a lot of them have gone with me around time and space. I worry it would be boring for you. Since I would be treading over the same bit of dirt. That's all. '' the doctor got up with his yellow socks. Abby thought it was weird that he had this great look. And then his socks were the ones that ruined it. He walked over the kitchen and got some paper to clean himself up. Abby followed. ''So. Why don't we just go. You didn't do the checking thing before we left last time. So can't we just go now. Or at least let me put my stuff in there. Just so when we do leave we don't need my stuff being the door stopper. So can we ? I do have a bit of stuff. '' the doctor stopped and thought about it. '' fine . but i want all your stuff in the tardis before we go. I can help if you need me too. But right now the tardis will wait at the coffee store. '' both smiled and picked up Abby's stuff. The doc put his boots back on but from him spilling the coffee he had a stan on his shirt. Abby didn't say anything about it and both just walked along the road with Abby's stuff. They chatted and when both got there. The doctor opened the door and put Abby's stuff next to the piano. He sat down as he checked stuff on the tardis. Just to make sure it was ok. Since last time he was in the tardis he had a weird vision and didn't know what it was.abby sat down on the piano chair and put her stuff next to her. ''Ok thanks. So what now ?'' the doctor was running around the tardis console. Looking over it. ''Well i thought you would go back home and i would check if everything is alright with her. But there is a stress beckon. A SOS. hmm. We could do this fast and then I could come back to drop you off. How about that ?'' Abby got up and took her stuff off. Putting them on the coat hanger. ''Well fantastic. My first alien planet. God, I can't wait. '' she said as she smiled at the doctor. He looked away as he was switching switches and pressing buttons. He kelt looked at the big screen on the wall. Abby just smiled as she looked around and saw all the weird things he had around. From movies she had never heard of on his book shelf. She saw a goodbye yellow brick road album on there with other ones. To the dark side of the moon. Abby found the cover to be scary to her. And then something she never had seen before. It was a 1972 beatles album. It had ''you can't say goodbye to love '' and ''the lying universe''. She took the album down and looked at it. The album was called. ''Don't leave love alone''. Abby laughed to think all the Beatles had split up and made this. But she knew it wasn't real. Or it was something the world would never see from the beatles. She seen more weird and cool on the shelf. Such as a trooper helmet. Looked like the doctor had printed on a logo of sorts. It was hard to see but the logo has been damaged and so has the armer. She saw parts of daleks, klingon blades that were hanging on top of the book shelf. And she saw a weird looking book. ''The Well of Loneliness''. To her she was worried if she would do something stupid. As in if she would trip over a wire and blow up a ship with her in it. The doctor watched her going around it. It was fun to see someone new looking around the tardis. Since the doctor knew her like the black of his hand. At that point it wasnt new or fun. But to see someones looking and having fun at stuff he wouldn't think of looking at again. Really made him feel like the universe was better having a friend with you. He smiled as she looked at the piano. He always had that old thing. Thought it would never be used. Since he had got it when the piano was in a state. All the keys were missing and it was all the black paint was scraped off. When he had got the old thong he was worried that he wouldn't have all the stuff. But from some shere luck he was only missing one key while looking around the ships storage rooms. And the black paint he found when he was talking to Pablo Picasso. When he was there helping him do a painting and found some black paint at the stores. He just stared at her as she lifted up the pianos key protector and played some songs. All the doctor knew but as he was fiding around on the console he tried to guess the songs that Abby was playing. Some were hard, since it seemed that abby had played that type of song as minor or major.but some of the songs you could tell what is was, but had the problem with not having a second hand dealing with the background tempo. But all he really could care about at the time, was to make sure the tardis was getting to the SOS they were sent. Abby stood up and closed the piano led as she wandered around. She had seen these wood and metal stairs that looked like they leaned down to under the console. Abby looked at the strange mad man looking at a book as he leaned down and removed a panel under a section of the console. He pulled some wires and looked at the book again. To her, she felt like it would be wrong to distract him from his work. She smiled and went down the stairs. As she wandered down , she started to hear a lot of things. She could tell there was ticking, an engine running and a strange whistle that had this weird feeling to it. She could hear the doctor nagging at the instructions so it wasn't him. So it had to be something else. She walked down to see a brown outline for the door. But no door was there. It was a hollow passageway that lead underneath the console itself. She turned around. But it was hard to see the walls. But what had looked like a full tanker that looked like it was straight down from the console. It gave off this orange beaming light. It was something you don't see when your on the outside but it just looked strange. She squinted her eyes to look at the wall closest to the door frame she had just walked though. She walked slowly around, looking at the walls. Some had strange art on them, with some tools in the background. She turned her head and saw a little work bench through another doorway. She slowly walked to the bench, as she got there it had other soinc parts and plates. With little red and blue light wires and clear green and yellow shells for the light. There were also little bits. One was an old, little picture. One with a blonde girl and a tall guy that had this army jacket on. Another was a ginger girl with a very short skirt in what would have seemed to be Liao Dynasty china. And another, which had some burns and stains was of a young girl, she was reading a newspaper. The picture wasn't much. Since it was all in black and white. She looked around abit more. Seeing more of the strangers and 12 other people. These 12 seemed to be in al or most of the pictures. One was a brown curly haired fella. That had one long scarf and had this nice red wine jacket. Another was this tall, skinny guy that was always in a pin suit, blue or brown. With nice ties and a great hair cut. As she had her sight on the pictures, all the lights had turned off. Leaving the tardis with a looming red lonely light around the place. Abby heard the doctors foot steps soft, but fast moving steps rush down the stairs and go to the tardis color. "Did you touch, play around or hell look at anything ?" the doctor said at a very fast pace. His eyes dawned to Abby but then to his bench, staring at the photos as he pulled a wire from the coor. "Where did you find them ?" the doctor said as he lego go on the cable and stood up straight to abby. Abby 's eyes looked all around the tardis as the doctor walked over to Abby and grabbed all the photos. Abby shached one from the deck and moved out of the way as the doctor hurled the photos into one of the draws on his bench. And looked back at Abby with a dead, tried and bored look on his face. "How about you get back upstairs and ill talk about what those... photos were. " abby was half expecting the doctor to throw a fit about touching the photos. But abby was pleased that she didn't have to be yelled at by an alien she knows nothing about. She did as he said and slowly walking up the doctor was now left alone. In the cold red lights that were on a stable hum. He placed his hands and rubbed his face, knowing it was going to be so weird to describe what abby had just sore. He sighed and finally got back to work. For some strange reason he didn't feel like he was alone. He thought he could hear breathing. But that little theory of his would have to wait. He pulled a long thin blue wire and a short red wire and placed both together, grabbing some tape from his bench, and sticking it together. He sighed as the under lights turned on and the rest of the tardis lighted up. No longer where there red loney lights, now there was white beaming light. He sat down on a broken and ugly computer chair. As she lights turned back on the doctor stopped in his path. He saw something that didn't make sense at all. He seen a livertaing stain of blood. He slowly stepped up. And got to his feet. He placed his hand into a fist and slowly walked over to the stain. As he walked over with a straight face he threw his punch, only to be standing there with what would feel like someone holding onto it. He kicked back and was able to fall on the floor. He stood up and felt the hand grab her throat. He twitched and tried to push away the invisible enemy. He tried but his eyesight got blacker and butler. The doctor's eyes closed and his body fell limp. The invisible figure dropped the doctor and walked over to his work bench. It grabbed an old, dirty blanket. It slowly Ambled over to the doctor's body. It dumped the blanket on the body and fixed it up to hide the rest of the body's parts. Complaty hiding the body. Making it look like it was just parts under it. The figure came into existence. It was wearing red and gold paneled armor. With the red being under the gold and the suit making it look like a lord or something. It was also wearing a strange helmet with a white and gold pack on it. He stared at the covered up body. As he looked at him he sighed. As it was like a blink of an eye the person in gold armor turned into the doctor. He looked exactly like the ginger old time lord. And jeans were having a hard time to fix themselves. But it setted on a gray black. He now looked just like the doctor...
