What if imaginary friends weren't imaginary at all?
Heather had an imaginary friend called Phil when she was very small. However, at the age of eighteen, she convinced herself he wasn't real, and tried to forget him. Several years later she meets him in L.A. at a web conference and he shows her that he was real, and remembers her from all those years ago.
On her way to meet up with Phil the next day, Heather is kidnapped by a man who calls himself the Doctor. He pulls her into the TARDIS, and Dan and Phil slip in after her. The Doctor tells Heather that she is alien royalty, and the four of them set off to return Heather to her throne.
