"So, we meet again, Weasel."

-The Doctor

•••

*Alex's POV*

I sat down on a cold metal bench, staring at the water in front of me. There were some small ripples from where I silently skimmed rocks. You'd think I'd be happy, I mean, I won the Family Wizard competition... but it was all for nothing. I didn't think that much would change after I won, which was stupid of me to hope for. Everything I've ever known is gone.

Never thought I'd say this, but I miss my brothers. Justin's in the Wizard World now, he took over for Professor Crumbs, who retired. We all knew Justin was the smart one, the brilliant sibling. I'm happy he's doing something with his life, but he never leaves his office to spend some time with the commoners. It's all about being in charge and having power now.

And Max? He still runs the substation with mom and dad. I'm surprised that the family restaurant never went out of business. We were a horrible sub shop if I'm being honest. Sadly, Max hasn't changed much. He's still the same idiot he was ten years ago.

Harper married Zeke. She's got a family of her own now. Two kids, a husband, a pet dog, the dream American life. Her firstborn, Mackenzie, my mini-me, I adore. Zeke would drop her off and I used to babysit her a lot when I lived in New York. She and I have gotten quite close. Ryan, Mackenzie's little brother, he's still a baby. I haven't gotten the chance to 'mess him up' as Justin calls it. I haven't spoken to Harper in what seems like years. She's too busy for anyone nowadays. I miss her. I miss my sister.

Jack hates me. My twin brother actually hates me. He's not my blood twin, we were just born the same day, two minutes apart. My delinquent twin, as Professor Crumbs nicknamed us. We were always up to no good. I wish I could tell him how sorry I was, but there's no point. I messed up. God, I miss Jack. I miss Harper. I miss the gang and the good old days.

Mason's gone too. He left me for Juliet. I've accepted the fact that we had a toxic relationship, but I still miss him. He was a big part of my life and I know he wasn't my first boyfriend, but he was undeniably my first real love. I would've done anything for him. Anything in the whole universe to make him happy. I only rejoined the Family Wizard Competition so I could be with Mason. That was a waste of my time. It was only ever going to be Juliet.

I moved to London almost a year ago. I had to get away from New York. So many unwanted memories. It was time for me to grow up and put my past behind me.

I live in a small apartment at the Powell Estate. I truly don't talk to anyone here but Mickey Smith. I'm very close to my Mickey Mouse. He's almost like another big brother. His girlfriend, Rose, is pretty cool too. We've gone shopping together, gone for drinks, she comes over crying when she and Mickey get into arguments, but I wouldn't call her my best friend. It's insane to think I haven't had a 'girl best friend' since Harper got married. I need my best friend. I know being a mother and wife isn't easy, but what about me? Did she just forget that I need her too?

Rose and her mom, Jackie, keep trying to find out what I'm hiding, which I guess is another reason I don't look to Rose as someone close to me. It's like every conversation we have they have to know my whole life story. Like I would tell them I'm a Wizard. I don't want to get my hands cut off. I need those.

The people here are a lot nicer than in New York. The way these people walk around, totally carefree. I wish I could be carefree. Mom and dad want me to move back home. They say that I need family right now, but that's not entirely true. I wanted to get away from that shit town. I needed to getaway. I couldn't move on and heal myself if I saw Mason and Juliet together all the time.

I'm twenty-four now and still a mess, but at least I've started figuring myself out a bit. I don't have a job at the moment, but I have figured out that college sucks more than high school! I wanted to go to school for my degree in teaching. I wanted to train young Wizards, much like what dad did for us as kids. Granted, I might've hated going to the Wizard World for college just because I couldn't get away with half the shit I did in public school, but still! School isn't for me. It never was.

"Alex?" I snapped back into reality, noticing the ripples have long disappeared. I shook my head at Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Rose. She was snapping her fingers in my face to get my attention. "Alex? What're you doing here? Why are you out this late?"

"Went for a stroll." Rose crossed her arms letting me know she didn't buy my lie. I, however, shrugged her glare off. She never believes me when she sees me out of my apartment, cause I rarely leave. Rose's right not to. Not to toot my own horn, but a lot of crazy shit happens in London, and I'm always here to protect it. The people here should be happy that I'm always saving it. "What are you doing out this late, Rose?" I peered over her shoulder, seeing that asshole who's always in my way! "Oh, great! It's you." I rolled my eyes.

"So, we meet again, Weasel." The asshole sent me a mocking grin and slowly walked over to me. Does he not change his clothes? Whenever I see him, he's always wearing the same leather jacket and shoes, jeans, and a v-neck t-shirt. Does he not own anything else?

His hand became outstretched in front of him, but I shoved mine into my jean pockets. "I told you, don't call me that, Creeper."

"You don't like it when I call you Weasel and I don't like it when you call me Creeper, so why don't we just put our petty differences aside and introduce ourselves then?" Oh, just what he wants, to know my name. If he was smart enough, he would already know my name because Rose said it. Zero out of ten for observation. "Wouldn't that make our lives easier?"

I kept an emotionless stare as another nickname came to mind. "I'll pass, Stalker." I noticed the look on Rose's face. Her mouth was hanging open. Don't get me wrong, Rose surely knows I'm not a people person, making her reaction a bit strange to me. I'm always a bitch, you know this Rose.

"Do you guys know each other?" Rose pointed back and forth.

"Nope." I instantly shook my head, "complete strangers."

"This is the eighth time we've bumped into each other!" The creep informed my friend. "We're hardly strangers anymore."

I held up my middle finger proudly, "piss off." Whenever there's trouble, this guy always shows up and takes credit for everything I did! Does he think I want to be his friend when he gets in my way and is a know-it-all? Hell no. I had to deal with Justin for eighteen years, I'm not dealing with another. "And don't you ever change your clothes? Ew!"

"My name's the Doctor." He placed his hand on his chest, "see? That's a wonderful thing called manners. You should think about learning them sometime." What kinda name is that? 'The Doctor?' He sent me that annoying mocking smile of his as he fixed his leather jacket. The annoying man was tall, looked about mid-forties, had very short dark hair, and this gorgeous pair of blue eyes. Believe me, this so-called Doctor had nice eyes. He's always in my way and quite sadly, I've been close enough to see that they are indeed beautiful.

"Hang on!" Rose interrupted our small argument. She put her hands up almost in a defensive way, but it was just to gain our attention. "If you are an alien, how come you sound like you're from the north?" Rose looked over at this stalker person. Interesting, 'alien.' No way do I believe that.

"Lots of planets have a north!" This apparent 'alien' rolled his eyes at Rose. I squinted mine at him, not knowing if I should trust this man or even believe him for that matter. He is always in my way when I'm trying to save London and I still haven't figured out how he knows so much. Maybe he isn't from this world either?

"What's a Police Public Call Box?" Rose pointed to a blue box. My eyes widened, how could I not have heard that thing's loud ass breaks? Was I that in tune with my thoughts? Whenever Stalker shows up, I always hear this ear-piercing wheezing. When he vanishes, it's the same. Just lots of noise and an empty corner.

"It's a telephone box, from the 1950s." Stalker leaned against his blue box. He was smiling proudly like this box was his greatest possession. I shouldn't be judging, considering my greatest possession is my wand, but I just don't like him. Everything he does irritates me. "It's a disguise."

"Okay... and this living plastic, what's it got against us?" Rose asked with her hanging mouth open still. Oh, so Rose is aware of the plastic dummies trying to take over the world? Brilliant.

"Nothing, it loves you, it loves your planet, lots of smoke and oil, plenty of toxins and dioxins in the air, perfect." I spun around to face Rose. I was giving Creepier the cold shoulder. "Just what the Nestene Consciousness needs." I muttered sarcastically.

I went to continue, but this idiot got in my way again! He pushed right past me with a huge grin, "its food stock was destroyed in a war, all its protein planets rotted." Doctor-Whatever interrupted. "So, Earth! Dinner!" I raised my eyebrows at him. Seriously? Couldn't have just let me finish my damn sentence? How does he always know what I'm dealing with? He couldn't be an alien though, he looks just like a Human. Trust me, I've seen everything there is to see. From old cranky Wizards to dragons that looked like dogs to cyclops and goblins. This man was no alien. I know I look Human, but I've never met an alien that looked Human. They've always got four eyes, twelve arms, a lot of spit, and three boobs.

The look on Rose's face was honestly pretty priceless. One eyebrow was completely arched while the other lay normal and I could see her eye twitching from here. "Anyway to stop it?" 

"Course there is, Rosie." I smiled at her. I don't call her Rosie very often, usually when I'm just in a sassy mood, which I am currently in. I shoved Creeper out of my way before I pulled out my secret weapon from my coat pocket. "Anti-plastic." Creeper gave me an unamused look as he leaned against the rails to block off the bay. "That's what I'm trying to do if you two would stop raining on my parade. Now, go home, both of you, it's not safe out here." I motioned for them to go in the opposite direction as the transmitter.

"And how would you know what anti-plastic is?" Rosie crossed her arms at me before I could walk away.

"I know a lot more than I let on, Rosie." I smirked at her. Rose always thought I was dumb. I'm not the smartest person in the entire universe, I'll give her that. But I do know how to stop the Consciousness from taking over the world.

"And you think you're going to stop it?" The man tilted his head and squinted his eyes at me like he was trying to find out all my secrets.

"Course I am."

"Oh, really?" Creeper challenged, "because in the eight times we've bumped into each other, I've always had to fix your mistakes, and I'm always the one to save the world."

"Because you get in my way!" I snapped. "And we met nine times, not eight. You were wrong, yet again... just like when I told you not to touch the dispatcher! It had a sensitive sensor, you idiot!"

"Still annoyed I did that?" I nodded, well obviously. "Nice to know I annoy you."

"Everyone annoys me, don't flatter yourself." I walked over to Rose and gave her a slight shove in the direction of our home, "now, hurry home." I dropped my hands from her shoulders before shoving the tube back into my pocket. "It's not safe here. Mickey Mouse's probably worried sick." I ignored Roses but's as my face went cold. "And you." My feet spun me around as I narrowed my eyes at this Doctor person, "go home. I don't need another liability on my hands."

"Alex, Mickey's dead!" Rose blurted out.

I swear I felt my heart stop beating at that very moment. My gaze found its way to the ground. I stared at the rocks I was picking up before and skimming them across the water. Mickey Mouse is dead? No, no, that can't be. I-It's Mickey, he is just a kid. He had so much left to do. It wasn't his time. "How."

"One of the plastic dummies, I don't know, it copied him." Rose motioned to the Creep. "And then he melted his head!"

"You melted my Mickey Mouse's head?"

"I didn't kill him!" Stalker shouted at me.

"Not what she said." I pointed to Rose.

"Look, I'm just trying to save the life of every stupid ape blundering on top of this planet, alright?!" I looked over at Rose from the corner of my eye, she seemed startled by this man's outburst. "He was just collateral damage!"

I sighed, "and you got my best friend killed in the process... my only friend." I heard Rose mutter under her breath about how I still have her. Yeah, I do, but my Mickey Mouse... he was my best friend. I never let myself get close to Rose because she's always poking and prying. Mickey never asked. He only ever wanted to be my friend. Frankly, I don't think Mickey truly cared where I came from either.

It was silent for a few moments. I didn't want to scream at him. I didn't want to tell him Mickey was so much more than just collateral damage. I didn't want to yell at him for re-breaking my heart. I doubt he would care at all. I just wanted to cry, honestly. I wanted to cry and cry. Hide in Mickey Mouse's apartment for a while again, but I knew he'd be angry at me if I did that. He'd be angry if I let myself shut down again. I felt tears pooling in my eyes which made my vision become blurry. I didn't dare let a single tear slip out. "I'm sorry." Doctor-Whatever whispered.

I forced myself to swallow one of the hardest pills I've ever had to take. I turned to walk away towards the transmitter, but my feet stopped me. Just because Mickey Mouse forced me to be a decent person, doesn't mean I have to be a decent person to this asshole. My jaw was tensing up with this sudden anger. "Go home." I looked over my shoulder at the man who took away the life of my friend. I narrowed my eyes at a small crack in the sidewalk. I refused to look him in the eye. "We don't need any more collateral damage." I mocked his words and I felt my heart rate pick up, "go home before you get anyone else killed tonight."

I listened carefully as I walked, making sure there were no footsteps behind me. I don't need Creeper following me everywhere. Not just because it's weird, but if he follows me and I'm the reason he gets killed... I don't know if I'll be able to live with myself. All I know is 'Doctor,' Doctor what? My guilty ass would want to look for his family, tell them how sorry I was. I can't have anyone following me, it's too dangerous. I gulped as I walked around the disk, looking for my way in, but I couldn't help but think if he would be able to live with himself after Mickey. I shook off my sorrow, I have to do it. I have to end this all for Mickey.

After a few minutes of pacing around, I finally found a covered hole. I took out my wand, "make your troubles no more, go in through the outdoor." I nodded as I appeared in the vat, for once, that was easy.

I put my wand in my boot before walking deeper into the vat. I'm looking for the Consciousness that's brought all this mess. Can't they go bother some other planet? Why does it always have to be Earth? I rested my hands on the railings, staring down at the flamy-colored gloop. "Am I addressing the Consciousness?" The gloop swished back and forth. Awesome. Love that I found the bastard that killed my friend. "Is it cool if I approach?" It swished back and forth again, and I walked a bit closer but kept my distance. Dealing with the Consciousness can be tricky, they're sly motherfuckers. "I've been watching you infiltrate this civilization by means of wrap shunt technology. So, may I suggest that you fuck off?" I growled at the gloop, but it swished back in return. I wanted to yell at this bloop like I wanted to yell at that man, but I didn't. If I can get the Consciousness to leave without having to harm it, it's better that way.

Before I got the chance to answer, I heard my name. "Alex?" Oh, who the hell? I turned around and saw Rose as well as the man I truly never wanted to see again.

I sighed irritatedly, "I thought I told you, idiots, to go home. It's not safe here."

"And it is for you?" Stalker crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at me. Why is he challenging me? He challenges me every time, acting as if I'm going to move to the side and let him take over. Yeah, right.

"Kinda what I just said. And why're you even here!" I raked a hand through my hair, changing the parting. "You're the last person I want to see right now." Hang on, did this flame of shit just tell me that this wasn't an invasion? How stupid does it think I am? I turned back to the gloop, "I'm not an idiot! This is an invasion. Plain and simple!" I crossed my arms at it.

The man walked over to where I was standing and looked over the railing at the goop, "I seek audience with the Nestene Consciousness under peaceful contract according to convection fifteen of the Shadow Proclamation."

"Creeper, I already did that part." I said sassily to him. "For the millionth time, stop getting in my way!"

I didn't get the chance to keep yelling at him once Rose started screaming. "Oh, god! Mickey! It's me, it's alright. Alex, Doctor, they kept him alive!" Rose yelled as she headed down the stairs.

"Always a possibility. Keep him alive to maintain the copy." The Doctor said nonchalantly. And he couldn't have said that before? He just let me yell at him when he knew there was a chance Mickey was still alive? Now I seem like more of a bitch than I inarguably am.

"You knew that and never said?" Rose and I spat at him.

"Let's keep the domestics outside."

"Mickey Mouse?" I peered over Stalker's shoulder as we went down the stairs, "I promise I'll get you home safe, okay?" Before I could give Mickey any more comfort, Creeper was getting too close to the Consciousness. "Ah, excuse me." I put my hand on his shoulder, pulling him back. "I wouldn't get that close to it, these things live to trick you."

"And how would you know that?" He tilted his head at me. "How do you always know where all the trouble is?"

"Oh, I bet you would just love to know." I crossed my arms again, why does everybody question me?

Creeper had an amused look on his face, "maybe you're the stalker."

Did he seriously just go there? He's the one who stalks me. Not the other way around. Don't get it twisted. "Just stay out of my way and let me do my thing."

"Your thing?" He stood there dumbfounded as I hip-butt him out of my way.

"Yes, my thing." I rolled my eyes at him, "now if you don't mind-"

He cut in front of me and walked closer to the Consciousness. I rolled my eyes, 'nobody ever listens.' I moved a bit closer, keeping my ground behind him. "This planet is just starting! These stupid little people have only just learnt how to walk, but they're capable of so much more. I'm asking you on their behalf, please, just go." How does he always know the situation?

"Alex! Doctor! Look out behind you!" I heard Rose scream. I turned around to see two plastic dummies coming up behind us. They grabbed ahold of me and him before I could do anything about it.

Dispute this being a shit situation, I smirked. "Told you not to get too close." I was right, yet again. This man just proves he doesn't know what he's doing.

The dummy took the anti-plastic out of both our jacket pockets. "That was just insurance! We weren't going to use it!" How awkward, I was. You don't kill my best friend and get away with it. Granted, Mickey's thankfully still alive, but when I first arrived here, I didn't know that. I would kill this blob in seconds with no hesitation. Don't mess with my friends or family. "We aren't attacking you! We're here to help. We're not your enemy. I swear we're not- what do you mean?" Creeper was trying to defend us, but he wasn't doing such a good job. I squirmed in my dummies' hold while the noise box appeared again. Once Creeper saw his box, he started to freak out more. Maybe that's why he's not good at this, he shows his emotions. Emotions get you killed. "Oh, oh, no! Honestly, no. Yes, that's my ship"- The gloop swished back and forth aggressively. "That's not true! I fought in the war! It wasn't my fault. I couldn't save your world! I couldn't save any of them!" He screamed as he was trying to get the dummy to let go of him.

I sucked in my cheeks, wait. A weird alien that looks Human, has incredible knowledge, and a crappy war. Actually... my previous comment was wrong, Humans look like him... like a... "Time Lord?" I looked at him with my eyes wide. He stared back at me with his eyes wide and told Rose to run. My mouth dropped, I remembered dad teaching us about the Time War, he said it was just an old legend although he believed otherwise. It actually happened. Dad was right.

"I don't have the key!" Rose cried as she tried to get inside the box. She was pulling on the door with Mickey Mouse clung to her side, but it was to no avail.

"This looks like a great time for plan B." I rolled my eyes at the disaster this man has caused. "You can prank on people you hate and they'll not know because you're invisible." The dummy's arms dropped the second I disappeared. Strange, when someone's invisible, you can still feel them touching you or even sense them. This proves my theory that even after being brought to life, dummies are still stupid.

"Where the hell did she go?!" I heard Mickey Mouse yell. I might have a tad bit of explaining to do. Oops.

I tried to be quiet, but I banged my knee against the railing in the process. "Ow, son of a bitch!" How come whenever you try to be quiet everything you do is loud as hell? I turned around to see dummies hurrying over, fuck me.

I saw chains in the corner of the vat and ran over to them. I reserved the spell and grabbed the ax hanging on the wall. I slammed it down as hard as I could on the chains till they broke. I held them tightly in my hands, "I have no one. My family's too busy to remember me and my heart will always be shattered. I've got just about nothing, but I'll tell you what I do have, the Family Wizard Competition. I won." I ran towards Creeper and jumped, making sure to keep a tight hold on the chain. I knocked the Auton that was holding onto the anti-plastic tubes into the gloop. Doctor-Whatever ended up throwing his Auton into the blob as well.

I huffed as he grabbed me and pulled me back onto the ledge. Okay, I'm safe now, wanna let me go? "That was brilliant!" For once, his smile wasn't mocking me in any way. It was genuine. "Now we're in trouble!" Stalker let go of me and took off towards his box. I wanted to laugh, Mickey Mouse was holding onto the machine for dear life. Oh, my Mickey, scared of his own shadow.

While Stalker was unlocking his box, I found my eyebrows wrinkling. These panels, this disguise. I can smell the time vortex off that thing and I'm standing behind the man! Is that a Tardis? No way.

I leaned against the side as Rose tried to pry Mickey off the box so we could escape, "you have an actual Tardis?" He smirked at me, how did he get so lucky to get a Tardis? When Rose finally shoved her boyfriend inside, I turned around, staring at the vat being destroyed, "see ya suckers!" I ran into the Tardis, slamming the doors shut behind me.

I leaned against the doors because I was so shocked. Oh, she's beautiful. I can't even believe I called her a noisy ass. Man, I take that back. She's absolutely gorgeous. 'Don't let it show, Alex. Don't let Stalker know you're completely blown away by her beauty.' I wish I could have a ship like this. Wow! A happy hum filled my ears. Oh, and she knows she's gorgeous too.

I looked at Mickey Mouse, who was completely terrified. I walked over to him and hugged him in hopes that I'd bring some comfort to my best friend, but he pulled away. Mickey Mouse stared at me like I was some sort of monster.

The Tardis landed seconds later and Mickey went flying out. Rose and I walked out after him while she dialed her mom, Jackie. I was standing furthest from everyone and I could hear Jackie yelling at Rose to stay inside. Oh, Jackie. She's a bit of a character. I looked over at Mickey Mouse, who's sitting on the ground hiding behind a garbage can, still terrified.

"Fat lot of good you were in there." Rose nodded to Stalker. "You were useless in there. You'd be dead if it weren't for her." She pointed to me as she rolled her eyes. Her brows were wrinkled like a disappointed parent in their child. Rose certainly was not amused.

"Should've let me do my thing." I smirked at him. "I guess this proves my plans are much better than yours."

Creeper slightly blushed at how wrong his plan went. The way he was standing against his box, it almost looked like he had his tail between his legs and accepted defeat. "Yes, thank you." He gave me a small nod, "I guess I'll be off then or I don't know, maybe you both could come with me? As you know," Stalker looked over at me, "this box doesn't just go to London, it goes to other planets as well."

I poked my tongue out, "oh, so I'm invited?"

"Don't! He's a thing!" Mickey pointed to him, still hiding behind the garbage can. "She's a thing too! I saw what you did." Mickey pointed at me next. I frowned, he was my first friend when I moved to London, which stung quite a bit. I didn't think Mickey Mouse cared where I am from or what I was. I didn't think me being a Wizard changed anything. It didn't for me and Harper. I might be a lot of nasty words, but a 'thing' is not one of them. Mickey significantly helped me out last year, he knows I don't handle shit like that well. I want him to think highly of me because I think highly of him.

Creepers face went cold as his eyes narrowed at Mickey. His lips formed a pencil straight line, "he's not invited."

"And you!" Rose pointed at me. What did I do now? Shouldn't I receive a thank you for saving everyone? And that guy told me I have no manners? "You have a lot of explaining to do!" Mickey Mouse shook his head, making me aware that he didn't want to hear what I had to say.

"I guess." I shrugged at her. It's quite simple, really. Can't she just figure it out just by the wand?

"What do you girls say?" Creeper's eyes flickered back and forth between me and Rose. Oh, yeah! Honestly, I forgot about his offer already.

"You don't even know my name and you just invite me into your Tardis?" My mouth hung open loosely at his generous offer. I rocked back and forth on my heels, "that's something a creeper would do, don't you think?"

"I know your name." Creeper slowly made his way over to me. I stood my ground, letting him know I wasn't the slightest bit intimidated even though he towered over me. Jesus, what is he part tree too? "Are you coming or not, Weasel?"

Before I could slap him, there was a small 'hmph' noise. I looked over to see Mickey now clinging to Rose's legs, "Rose, no. Don't go!"

It was silent for a moment as I watched Rose's happy expression fade into a sad one. Her cheekbones were proudly being shown off a moment ago and now, just a blank stare. "I can't. Somebody's got to look after this stupid lump." Rose's bored on this planet! I think seeing what else is out there, would be a game-changer for Rose. Come on, Mickey, let her live a little.

"Hey!" He looked up at her with a pout.

"Weasel, you still haven't given me a response." I looked up at Creeper, who was still standing next to me.

I clicked my tongue, much louder than I would've hoped. It was kinda embarrassing. "Is it always this dangerous?" I love danger. I laugh in the face of danger.

Creeper slightly scoffed. I could see he was trying to fight the corners of his lips going up. "Yeah."

I thought for a moment. Justin and Max would love for a chance like this. I've got nothing here on this planet anymore. My family's too busy for me. My best friend is happily married with her own problems. I don't even have Jack anymore. Jackie and Rose were always trying to pry at me. They're trying to find out all my secrets. And Mickey Mouse doesn't seem to want to be my friend after finding out what I am. I have nothing left for me on this planet but a pile of unwanted memories. "Alright, Creeper. I'll go, I could use some more danger in my life." I laughed as another genuine smile appeared on his face. He was fighting it anymore. "Bye Rose. Bye Mickey Mouse." I waved to them as Doctor-Whatever closed the door.

Stalker ran around the console, "so, where do you want to go first, Weasel?"

"Will you quit calling me that!" I eyed the console, praying he would have some item there for me to whack him with. I smiled, full teeth and everything as I grabbed a Rubik's cube from the chair and chucked it at him.

"Ow!" He clutched his arm. Yeah, like that hurt. Grow a pair. "Then what am I supposed to call you? You haven't properly introduced yourself to me." I chewed my lip, if I was going to be traveling with Creeper, he has to know my name. I'd die from embarrassment if I heard him scream 'Weasel,' while looking for me in a public setting. "I'm the Doctor."

"Doctor what?" I questioned while he slowly walked over to me.

"Just the Doctor."

He held his hand out for me to shake and I stared down at it. I never thought I'd tell Creeper my name. "Alex Russo." My hand gripped his. Dad taught me how to give a good handshake, he said it would impress my future boyfriend's parents.

The Doctor squeezed my hand in return before shaking it, "pleasure to finally know your name, Alex."

"I wish I could say the same." I muttered sarcastically, which earned an eye roll. "Um, before we leave, did you by any chance tell Rose that she also travels in time?" I motioned to the Tardis.

The Doctor let out a small 'huh' and ran back to the door. "Did I mention that it also travels in time?" He walked back over to me and began starting the engines.

Seconds later, Rose came dashing in with the biggest smile on her face. She slammed the Tardis' doors closed before running over to me. She gripped my arm excitedly, "what are we waiting for?!"

I gave her a small grin. She actually looked cute right now, like an excited child about to go inside a candy store. Her cheeks were turning a little red from how hard she was smiling. "Good point. Let's go see the stars."
