Chapter Five: The Alien Invasion

Chapter Five: The Alien Invasion

The time is 6:30 a.m. Supernatural pulls into Tumblr, Incorporated's parking lot in her black 1967 Chevy Impala and gets out, grabbing her backpack from the passenger seat and switching off the music, cutting the Led Zeppelin song off midway through "And she's buying a stairway to heaven". Supernatural throws her backpack over one shoulder and walks into the building.

Supernatural: What the hell?!

Supernatural looks around. The entire office is covered in Doctor Who decorations. Daleks, the silver robots, TARDISes, you name it. But the most prominent things around the office were pictures of the one Doctor that wears bow ties, an astronaut, those Pond people, and . . . Crowley?

Supernatural: What.

Supernatural walks over to the wall. She rips down a picture of Crowley and frowns at it.

Supernatural: I suppose "what the hell" was right.

All of a sudden, Doctor Who basically pops out of nowhere.

Doctor Who: That's Canton.

Supernatural: You mean Crowley?

Doctor Who: What? No. Canton Everett Delaware III. He's a gay American who worked in government for a while. Actually, this picture is of him during President Nixon's run.

Supernatural looks at Doctor Who as if personally affronted.

Doctor Who: Oh, yeah, and there's one more thing.

Doctor Who scratches the back of zir neck and looks at nothing in particular with zir brow furrowed, obviously trying to remember something.

Doctor Who: I . . . I don't remember.

Doctor Who turns and walks away, and as ze does, Supernatural notices that one of zir sleeves are rolled up. Doctor Who's arms are tally-marked, and there's a blinking red light in one of zir palms.

The theme song plays.

Phandom, Percy Jackson, DHMIS, Gravity Falls, and OTGW walk into the office building, looking around at all of Doctor Who's decorations.

Phandom: Whoa, cool! Hey, what's the occasion?

Sherlock looks up from whatever he's doing at his cubicle with a bit of a scowl on his face.

Sherlock: It's [making air-quotes] "Impossible Astronaut Day", whatever the hell that means.

Phandom and Percy Jackson: Oh, it just pays homage to the Impossible Astronaut, who was really River Song, killing the [both making air quotes] "Doctor".

Cue awkward silence in which everyone that heard is staring at Phandom and Percy Jackson with weird looks on their faces.

Gravity Falls: Maybe you're secretly —

Sherlock holds one hand up, his eyes closed and eyebrows raised.

Sherlock: Don't even say it.

Supernatural, DHMIS, Gravity Falls, and OTGW are walking to the cafeteria because lunchtime finally. They're probably going to be the first ones to lunch, but Doctor Who and Percy Jackson have really weird conceptions of time, so no one's ever really quite sure. Well, actually, it's more like pretty much never.
