Troubles In Time

Introduction to Alexis

In the year 2023:

Hi, I am Alexis. I am twenty-one years old and I am from Scotland.

Have you ever asked yourself: “If I had to describe myself in two words, what would they be?” Well, if you asked me that. I would say, “Doctor Who” It sounds sad but it is the truth.

I was bullied from a young age and every day that something horrible had happened and I was too scared to tell my mum. I would go to Doctor Who. I was born in 2002 so I was 3 when Doctor Who started up again. I was not a very emotional person and I’m still not one to this day. I almost never cried at a movie. But when it came to Doctor Who, every sad episode I came to, I had to have a box of tissues next to me. For as long as I can remember, I watched Doctor Who. Every time my mum went out, my babysitter played the old episodes. My favorite old Doctor was always Tom Baker. He was just amazing.

When I hit puberty, when normal girl would dream of getting married to boys in the class, I would dream of getting married to David Tennant or Matt Smith. I came across as an odd child. I didn’t always fall for the Doctor either. At one point, I was totally in love with the Master.

I was always too weird to get a boyfriend. I never really interacted with other kids my age, because of my watching Doctor Who and reading the books, I was very well spoken. I was a better friend with adults than kids. I had always dreamed of meeting the man of my dreams. The Doctor and me, I knew it would never happen but sometimes I really wanted it to.

I have only ever met one person who loved Doctor Who as much as me but it was way back when I was about twelve. We kept in contact for a long while but we eventually drifted. I never found anybody else to relate to. I was really alone. I went to conventions and tried to meet Matt Smith and stuff but I never saw them. I eventually grew up and moved on. I still had all of the shirts and merchandise that I bought but I only watched occasionally. I never really stayed as obsessed as I was back when I was thirteen. 

 I am always trying to forget about my obsessive stage but it’s never really gone. I will always have that part of me deep down in my heart. I am trying to get a job and failing. I was going to friend’s house to ask if she can get me an internship but while I was going down the street I saw heard a noise. It was kind of like a mechanical boom noise. I followed the noise until I saw something that I was both happy and confused to see. It was a Cyberman. Not like the ones from 10 but like the sleek and lightning fast ones that 11 faced. I was behind it but when I side stepped to see in front of the horrible machine, I saw the most amazing sight ever: the Doctor, but it was the wrong one.

*Hey!! Rose here!!! This is in the POV of my character and next chapter will be in POV of Amelia's character, Fey.

What do you think I mean when I say it is the wrong Doctor? What do you think will happen next? You will have to wait until I specify which Doctor it is. 

Enjoy the next chapter! Bye!* ~Rose
