As they were all walking though the streets of Wateringbury Ed and Lorraine still didn't believe that what was going on in this village was alien so, they both rushed up to Sally and Larry and Ed said. "I'm sorry did you just say that we're dealing with alien and that your friend is one too?" Sally looked at her and while Larry smirked she said back "yes. Why is that so hard to believe?" "Because it just observed. Alien aren't real. They just can't." Lorraine said "if ghost are real then why can't alien be real? If it makes it any easier to believe we're time travellers." Sally sighed once he said that as Ed and Lorraine's eyes nearly feel out their socket's and they both said in sync "time travel is real." "Really Larry you had to make it more complicated that it already was." Sally said and she said that they came to the crossroads and this is when The Doctor stopped, turned around and started walking towards Ed and Lorraine saying "you know two people as brilliant as you. You don't have a very open mind which is surprising considering the jobs you have." Ed said back to him "I'm sorry Doctor. That is your name right?" He nodded his head before Ed carried on saying "but there is no way these statue are alien if alien were real there would be some sort of proof out there by now." "I'm living proof that alien are real and I know you still don't believe so I'm just going to prove it to." He looked at Lorraine and said "you're a physic so you'll be able to see if I'm lying to you or not just by one touch." Lorraine looked at him for a second or two before taking a glance at Ed, he nodded his head at her. She placed both her hands on each side of The Doctors face and they both closed their eyes.

"What are they doing?" Sally said in confusion and Ed said back to her "there linking there minds so Lorraine can look into his very soul all his memories will be free for her to see." Lorraine saw everything. She saw all The Doctors different faces that he had, The Time War, time travel, alien's from all across the universe, The Tardis. Completely opening her mind to the realisation that it's all real and she even saw something that The Doctor himself didn't remember. It was The Timeless Child with an unknown person in a lab doing experiments on the child before the child face morphed into The Doctor's current face but The Doctor then shoved Lorraine out of his memories and opened his eyes and fired himself away from her hand and said in uncertainty "what was that? I don't remember that memory." Lorraine said back to him "a lost child that changed the course of your species. The truth will be discovered." Everyone looked completely shocked and scared at the same time "what do you mean by that?" The Doctor said back to her before Ed touch his wife on her but this made her jump out of skin in fright "wow. Lorraine it me. What happened?" She looked at him for a couple of seconds before saying "it's true all of it. They were lying. The thing they've all seen. Mental men from the stars, world eating entity's in France World War One and the war for time itself." Ed looked at The Doctor. who was still in shock as to what he saw.

"That wasn't my memory. How did you do that?" The Doctor said to Lorraine. "It was your memory. One that has been buried from you for thousands of years." Lorraine said and this concerned The Doctor and he then said "I'm nine hundred years old so that's impossible." She said back to him "I'm sorry Doctor but you're wrong. Someone has been lying to you for a very long time." The Doctor tensed his face when he heard her say that but he didn't have time to dwell on this as The Angles were coming "Doctor I know this is probably really bad timing but The Angles are coming?" Larry said as he spotted one a little way behind them. The Doctor quickly snapped out of it and went barging past everyone to get a look for him self. "Right. Okay. We need to get moving right now." He said to everyone. "And go where exactly. If they got inside Melissa's house they can get us anywhere and plus we have baby Larry to look after as well." Sally said. The Doctor turned around and said "oh yeah. I may have forgotten about that a tad but, it's a very god point you make Sally." The Doctor looked at Larry placed his hand on his shoulder and said "oh Larry it's probably best that you don't hold yourself in fact don't even get too close." "Why?" He said back with concern "because if you do it will creat a very nasty paradox and that's the last thing we wanna give The Angles." The Doctor said. "So where exactly are we going to go for safety." Ed said trying to hurry The Doctor along. "Yes. Sorry. Right. Run. That's seems like the best course of action." After he said he gave a quick smile before running off with everyone following behind him.

They started running back toward the church but as The Doctor and everyone started running part the graveyard. The Doctor notice something in the corner of his eye and quickly stopped and as everyone went running past him he said "whats was that?" Everyone else quickly stop and Ed said "Doctor I don't really think we have time to stop. Those Angles are coming for us." The Doctor looked down the road and saw two Angles heading towards them "yeah I know but Ed do me a favour keep your eyes of them for me. Give me two seconds." The Doctor said before he jumped over the small brick wall into the graveyard as Lorraine said "Doctor what is going on?" The Doctor then point at a windows and said "that is what's going on." What The Doctor was point at was the churches Presbytery. A place where all the priests stay in but this was a little different in all the windows there were people standing at every window just starting out "okay that is just a tine bit creepy." Sally said and as she said the street lamps that were lighting up The Angles started flickering "ermmm Doctor we need to move now. The Angles are getting ready to move!" Ed said in a panic. The Doctor rushed back toward the brick wall and took a peak at The Angles and said "right is time for us to move. Everyone get to The Presbytery right now." And as everyone went running toward it The Doctor stayed to keep an eyes on The Angles for a couple more seconds before the light went off. This was his warning to go. "Alright time to go." He said to himself before shooting off after the others.

So, there we have it. The beginning of The Doctor encounters with The Weeping Angles. One of the universe most deadly creatures but, this was only the beginning as The Doctor was about to discover what was really going on in this small village of Wateringbury.
