"Is she going to be alright?" Rita heard the whisper of a female voice that she definitely recognised from somewhere as she slowly opened her eyes and a pain in her head began as if someone was playing a thousand drum beats into her ears. She opened her eyes slightly to see a blurred outline of what looked like a blonde woman girl who didn't look much older than herself peering over her body.

"Doctor she's awake!" Rita heard the voice of the women's London accent, not thinking much of it Rita's eyes adjusted to the light and her surroundings.

She attempted to sit up before being gently forced back down to the ground while she reached for her head and sighed, a frown forming on her face as she suddenly realised that she was no longer in the kitchen of her apartment or anywhere she actually recognised, the room she was currently in had a brown almost golden metal wall which for some reason slightly freaked her out.

"Hello?" The blonde girl asked as Rita stared at her very confused and shook her head not able to believe that Billie fricking Piper stood before her.

"Hello?" She repeated frowning a little as Rita ignored her continuing to look around the room before noticing David Tennant who was apparently dressed in the usual tenth Doctor's pinstripe suit walking over to her with the same expression on his face as Billie's.

"It's ok," he spoke calmly, "we found you lying here unconscious. I'm the Doctor and this is Rose."

Rita blinked for a few seconds before she started to laugh quietly causing 'the Doctor' to turn to 'Rose' as they both shared a concerned look with each other.

"I'm dreaming aren't I?" Rita looked up at them both before laughing again. "Someone, pinch me please," she spoke between her fits of laughter. Rose frowned a little before doing exactly that and pinching the girl causing a small yelp and the fits of laughter to cut out.

"I'm still asleep?" Rita cocked her head to the right and looked at 'the Doctor' "how?" she asked slightly frowning.

"This isn't a dream?" He also frowned confused at what the brunette meant. Rita scratched the side of her head while keeping herself leaning upright with her right arm. 

"I have to be dreaming, though?" she questioned as if she wasn't believing it was actually a dream herself. "I was changing the light bulb at home when- the light bulb!" Rita jumped up causing her dark brown hair to fly upwards then back down and rest itself by her shoulders showing the girls true medium length hair.

"I was in my apartment." Rita held her head which was slightly thumping due to the sudden outburst, her hazel eyes widened shifting from 'Rose' to 'the Doctor' "Where am I? How on Earth.." her voice trailed off as she spun around to see a giant window. Rita slowly walked towards the glass as if she was in a trance, 'the Doctor' and 'Rose' slowly followed cautiously behind her. "That's the Earth." she choked up a little before she turned back to 'the Doctor' "Where am I?" Rita spoke in a shaky cold voice. "Who are you," she asked before the man had time to answer her first question.

"My name is the Doctor" he calmly replied while slowly walking towards her, we're on a spaceship-"

"Alien spaceship?" Rita asked turning to 'Rose' watching the girl who was a little too quiet for her liking yet Rita also somehow trusted her a little more than the Doctor for some reason.

"Yes" 'Rose' nodded slowly before adding "He's telling the truth, his name is the Doctor, I'm Rose"

"But how?" Rita asked staring at the two as if they were both ghosts, unreal to her like a dream.

"How?" Rose questioned, "what do you mean how?"

"Never mind" Rita mumbled. "I guess I should play along since this is all a dream, weird how I haven't woken up yet." She thought while sighing.

"Sorry" she smiled pushing the questions digging into her brain to the back of her mind. "Where are my manners?" Rita smiled cheerfully like the past few moments never existed. "I'm Rita Stone."

Rose frowned at Rita but then deeply sighed and smiled warmly. "Nice to meet you, Rita, like I said before that's the Doctor," she pointed at the man in the pinstripe suit who was currently not paying attention as he walked around the room closely looking at every crack and cranny in the room like he was looking for a way out. "Doctor?" Rose chuckled a little getting his attention. The Time Lord turned towards Rose and Rita and smiled at them both, walking over and standing beside Rose. "This is Rita Stone," Rose told him while he nodded.

"Lovely to meet you Rita, now do you happen to know how you got here?" He raised a brow and then added: "I heard you said something about being in your apartment and then suddenly being here, remember anything in between then and now?"

Rita thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Nope" she sighed and looked down at the  jeans and the comfy red vans she was wearing. "What happened?"

"We found you here, well I did," Rose grinned, "the Doctor was too busy trying to get out of this room, we got locked in" she sighed. "He didn't even notice you."

"Locked in?" Rita clearly was confused with what was going on, so many questions yet no answers. "How did you get locked in here?" she looked at the Doctor who was already at one of the walls of the room carefully observing them like they were going to attack at any moment.

"We were running" he spoke in a calm quiet voice not looking away from the wall.

"From what?" Rita questioned.

"The question is" the Doctor ignored her, turning around and walked towards Rita and then past her, he picked up a long brown coat off the floor and then reached into one of its pockets and picked out some black rimmed glasses before he placed them on his nose while walking back over to Rita and Rose. "Who are you?" he leant closer to Rita, the girl frowned and slowly backed away.

"I'm Rita" she continued to frown at him.

"I know that." he continued to look at her squinting his eyes. "I meant what are you?" He corrected himself and raised a brow as if it was a simple question.

"Human?" Rita replied still backing away from him. The frowning expressing on her face had turned into one very confused as if she didn't actually know what she was anymore.

"That sounded more like you were unsure" the Doctor announced and took his glasses off and placed them into the long brown coat that he was now wearing.

"You would be unsure if you were changing a light bulb and then randomly woke up on an alien ship," Rita said.

"Why are they not looking for us, Doctor?" Rose turned to the Doctor looking a little scared while he returned to the walls of the room not questioning Rita anymore.

"I don't know Rose" the Doctor sighed.

"What's looking for you?" She questioned before correcting herself. "Or should be?" She turned to Rose who followed the Doctor over to a wall of the room.

"Rita, have you ever heard of the Daleks?" He turned to her and then pressed his ear up against the wall.

"The Daleks?" Rita's voice slightly cracked as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Yeah" she muttered. "I know what they are" Rita looked down at the ground remembering scenes from the TV show she was now apparently a part of it even was a TV show anymore. She heard the screams of 'exterminate' and saw a scene from the 50th-anniversary episode. Gallifrey was burning, children crying as the Daleks screamed with no emotion or regret in their voices just anger and hatred as they showed no mercy firing and murdering innocent men, women and children.

The Doctor heard the worry in Rita's voice and slowly walked away from the wall towards her, he placed a hand on one of her shoulders. "I'm sorry Rita," he spoke, "whatever they did I'm so sorry." He looked into her hazel eyes which were fixed on the floor. Pity and sorrow were all she could see as she remembered the horrific scenes. TV or not this all looked very very real to Rita Stone.

"They didn't do anything to me." She sighed and finally looked up at him straight into his brown eyes, hers now filled with anger which he fully knew was not meant for him. "What they did to others is what I am angry about." Rita pursed her lips while her eyes burned up at the Doctor

"So this isn't a dream then?" He grinned lighting the mood a little.

"I guess I have no proof that I'm dreaming since Rose did pinch me and nothing happened" Rita shrugged looking over at the blonde who smiled. "I also guess this is a Dalek ship then" Rita looked up at the Doctor guessing and pursed her lips again.

"Yeah, they almost took the TARDIS, we only just managed to escape ourselves."

"Emergency Programme One," Rita mumbled.

"How do you know that?" The Doctor raised an eyebrow.

"Oh um." Rita mumbled and shrugged "I know some things about you both." She pointed at the Doctor and Rose. "You probably don't believe me though" She mumbled again.

The Doctor frowned and looked at Rita, trying to figure out what she meant by that comment until he turned his head to the left and heard a loud bang on the door making him push his questions to the back of his mind. He would talk to Rita alone about it later.

"Doctor?" Rose asked. "What was that?"

"I don't know" he answered, "let's not stay to find out," he ran to the opposite side of the room where the black metal doors were and started to sonic the door. "Deadlocked." He groaned.

"Why have a sonic if it doesn't do wood or deadlocked stuff?" Rose asked keeping her eyes on the door. Rita grinned at the blonde's comment.

The Doctor ignored her and continued to try and open the door while Rita stared at the door on the opposite side of the room frowning. There was another bang causing Rose to jump in fright. Rita slowly began to walk over to the door like she was in a trance.

"Rita?" Rose spoke, getting no reply. She continued to slowly walk to the door before seeing a keypad on the left-hand side next to the door.

"Doctor?" Rose spoke trying to get him to notice Rita slowly making her way to the door. Rose looked over at the Doctor for a second seeing him still fixated on opening the damn door before then switching her gaze back over to the brunette.

"Doctor" Rose repeated this time getting his attention.

"Rose what?- Rita!" He shouted noticing how close the brunette now was to the door he ran over and pulled her away from it by her arm taking her out of the trance she was in. "You ok?" He looked down at her, a serious expression on his face.

"Yeah" she muttered edging away from the door, she jumped when it made another loud bang.

"Come on then." He grabbed her arm and ran over to where Rose was standing by the door taking out his sonic and finally opening the door which was lucky as a moment later the door on the opposite side of the room opened showing a Dalek on the other side.

"Exterminate!" It screamed shooting right behind Rita which luckily missed thanks to the Doctor suddenly pulling her towards him. The Doctor then ran ahead of the two girls then locked the door after they ran through after him "Stay away from that door!" He swiftly turned around and pointed and then turned back around running away from the girls who moved away from the door panting from the running.

"Didn't expect it to be like this" Rita mumbled looking at the ground.

"Expect?" Rose questioned.

"Secrets" Rita mumbled not sure of what else to say, she then frowned. "That sounds like something I know someone else said once," the brunette thought aloud.

"You're mad." Rose laughed at the woman as she shook her head.

"And he's not?" Rita joked, raising her eyebrows as she looked over to where the Doctor was flashing his screwdriver at the door on the other side of the long hall.

"You have a point" Rose grinned before a frown began to form. "Who are you, Rita?"

"Apart from my name I don't know anymore." she shrugged.

"No family?" She raised a brow. "Friends? Where did you live?" Rose questioned.

"My family died," Rita spoke with no emotion. "Never properly knew my mum and dad, never knew if I had any aunts or uncles, not even a Gran. I have no family, just me."

"You're all alone" Rose mumbled.

"I know how you feel" the girls looked up to see the Doctor standing there with his hands in the pockets of his long brown coat.

Rita smiled slightly, not replying to the Doctor, she knew what he had been through, what he will go through and there was nothing she could do to change that. "I have some friends" Rita smiled sadly at Rose before saying: "They all have family's and other friends, though, sure they are there for me but not in the long run" Rita looked at Rose and saw the sadness in her eyes, Rita saw this look before from Rose somewhere.

"I'm sorry Rita, I shouldn't have asked" the blonde looked at the floor ashamed, Rita just gave a sad smile before looking up at the Doctor who gave her the exact same look Rose did moments before: sadness.

"Come on you two we best get out of here" the Doctor became his usual cheery self and smiled at the girls who both nodded at him.

"So what's the plan?" Rose asked as all walked down the hall in a line heading for the door.

"He doesn't have one" Rita chuckled.

"I do have a plan" the Doctor scoffed and rolled his eyes at Rita.

"What is it then?" Rita raised her eyebrows waiting.

"Ok I don't have have a plan," the Doctor rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "but I do have an idea" he grinned at them both before opening the door which he soniced earlier during Rose and Rita's chat.

"Doctor!" Rose screamed noticing a Dalek only meters away.

"Oh hello," he grinned at the Dalek and then turned to the girls "run!" He shouted grabbing both of their hands and pulling them.

"Exterminate! Exterminate!" It screamed a moment after the Doctor pulled Rita and Rose behind a wall.

"What now?" Rose whispered in fear frantically looking around.

"Doctor" Rita mumbled staring at what couldn't possibly be the TARDIS

"What-" he turned to see the TARDIS and then grinned at Rita who then smiled back the Doctor took Rita and Rose's hands again and ran towards the TARDIS.

"What about the Daleks?" Rose asked while sprinting for the blue box.

"They pulled the TARDIS here, don't know why don't really want to know why since they insisted on killing us" he spoke before skidding to a stop and opening the TARDIS. The Doctor allowed Rose in first and then held the door open for Rita as well.

Upon entering the TARDIS it was everything Rita had dreamed of and hoped for when watching the show, much bigger than expected on the inside and definitely cooler.

After allowing Rita to look around and let it sink in the Doctor then spoke, "Welcome to-"

"The TARDIS" Rita beamed making the Doctor blink a few times slightly confused as to how she knew the TARDIS' name.

"How do you-" The Doctor was then cut off.

"I told you, I know parts of your life" Rita smiled slightly at the Doctor and then Rose who was leaning on the console. "Where I'm from" Rita started. "There is this show, very good show" she nodded to herself while the Doctor crossed his arms and leant on one of the beams closely listening to Rita "It's about your life" she pointed to the Doctor "Rose you're there too" she then pointed to the blonde.

"Doctor?" Rose frowned "What does Rita mean."

"But that's impossible" he mumbled. "A show about my life" his eyes then widened in horror. Rita then chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"It's the truth, I don't know how I got here, I remember nothing except being in my apartment changing the light bulb and then being in a Dalek ship" the girl sighed. "It's not even an episode" she mumbled.

"Maybe you forgot" Rose raised a brow and walked over to Rita.

"No that's impossible" Rita frowned. "I know every episode of this Doctor, everyone." Rita smiled proudly. The Doctor looked at Rita with confusion and wonder. Who are you Rita Stone? He thought to himself before moving from the beam to the console. Rose could tell that the Doctor was very confused about Rita almost as much as Rose was herself, the brunette seemed friendly but they had only just met her on a Dalek ship.

The Doctor then started to fiddle with the console. The TARDIS then started to dematerialise.

"Doctor I'm going to go to my room" Rose announced and then walked off towards a hall in the TARDIS. The Doctor could see what she was doing and nodded to her as she left the Doctor and Rita alone. Questions on both sides could now be answered.
