"Steven, honey, make some friends, please! It's not natural for such a young boy to be constantly scribbling in a notebook." his mother said sternly as she made him breakfast.

"Yes, Mother, I will make a new friend today." Steven replied with a sigh and a roll of his eyes. Luckily for him, his mother was so happy at his statement that she was oblivious to his disrespect.

The Rogue Teselecta had been undercover for years now, ever since it had been switched with the Moffat's toddler. The young child was now living on a planet on the edge of the universe, and was quite happy after his brain wipe.

Steven walked to Levant Elementary with his mother and went inside to the place kindergarteners were supposed to wait for school to start.

"Captain Kyle, I've spotted Target One, and he looks lonely enough."

"Thank you, Sylvia," the captain replied. The Teselecta strolled over, and Kyle picked up the special voice changing microphone.

"Hi, I'm Steven."

"I know who you are," the lonely boy replied. "You're the kid who always has that notebook."

"Yeah."

"You don't know who I am, do you?"

"No, but I'm alone and you are too, so I figured we could hang out before school started."

"Okay. I'm Rory, by the way. Can I see some of your drawings?"

"I don't draw," Steven said, confused.

"Then what are you always doing in that notebook?"

"I write, and some of it's actually pretty good."

Rory looked at him oddly, as if to say that they were only kindergartners. "Read me some," he commanded.

Steven read his work to Rory until school started. As they walked to their lockers Rory said, "Your stories are cool, especially the one with that place called Torchwood. Can I hear some more later?"

"Sure," Steven said. "I'd be happy to share them with you."

With that, Steven Moffat made his first friend: Rory Williams. The first step of Phase One was complete.
