Dani ([Piercedskull]) has been wanting to write a story about herself as the Doctor, and her friends as the companions.

---

This is my story, my adventures with The Doctor through my prospective. My laughs, my tears, and my untimely fate.

It all started a looong time ago. I was in 8th grade when I first met the Doctor. She was this odd little 6th grader at the time, following me around. I have to admit, it annoyed me to no end. I even shoved her forcefully into a locker. Shame on me.

Somehow after that event, however, she used her marvelous abilities on me. We became good friends. She disappeared every now and again, from time to time. It was a long while before I saw her again. She never changes, always looks the same. It's mind boggling. She showed up when I called her, but I always heard such strange noises in the background, never knowing what they were. I never even bothered to ask.

To me, she went by the name of Dani. Until, one day, she happened to let her secrets slip. I was over her house, going on and on about my twenty-second birthday. It was just a week away, and my husband would be coming home in a month. I was excited, shaking in my jeans with excitement as I spoke about him, just as I always did. Dani had seemed off for the past few months, and I never understood why. I was on a bit of a rant, until I noticed her staring at something on her wall.

It was just a small pocket watch. It had always been there, but she was looking at it like she could see it, but like it wasn't really there. "Dani...... Daaaaani..... DANI." It took shouting for me to get the girl's attention, and she snapped ot of it. "Who-hum-wha?" She answered with a shake of her head, like someone does when they're trying to snap out of it. "I'm sorry, I zoned out. What were you talking about?"

She really just seemed so, out of it... I had to speak up. "Why were you staring at the watch? It's like you've never seen it before or something." I said with a confused, yet concerned look plastered on my face.

She stared at me with a confused, 'whatchu talkin about crazy white girl' look that she sometimes gives me. Yeah, I'm used to those by now. "Watch? What are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about, what are you talking about?" I retort, obviously a little irritated. Why was she mocking me? Seriously? "Dani, the watch on your wall, it's hanging right there."

Dani looks over her shoulder, then looks back at me with an unamuzed glance. "Megan, there is no watch."

Oh, I didn't like playing this game. I get up forcefully from my chair and stomp over to the wall, ripping the little trinket forcefully from it, and shoving it into the Spanish girl's chest. "This. Right here. It's a Fucking watch and don't you dare tell me its not." I say, then cross my arms and wait for a response.

She stared at it in her hands, as if some old memory found itself again. She stared hard at it, stroking the engraved metal lightly with her finger tips, as if it were something precious. "This old thing... I wondered..." she mumbled. I could barely make out what she was saying. I could see the strange marks on it, and the strange little light in the farthest point in the back of eyes, like something locked away. I only watched, my words stuck in the back of my throat. I knew this was some odd kind of intimate moment, and I really didn't think it wise to intrude. She seemed just so.... I don't even know how to describe it. Enthralled? Enchanted? Or even perhaps a little afraid.


What happened would change our friendship, and my life, forever.


She slowly moved her fingers to the clasp that opened the tiny watch, not yet pressing it. "I remember this silly little thing now... it never did really open for me... I wonder if it's fixed..." she mumbled, and opened the watch.

Some creepy light came pouring out. It was like it didn't have a color, but somehow, it looked yellow and sparkling. It went into Dani's nose and mouth, and she breathed it deep. There was a moment where she smiled as she inhaled it deeply, then her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her body went entirely limp, the watch falling to the floor with a clutter.

Holy shit, was all I could think, I thought I had just killed my best friend. I took a moment to see if she was messing with me, payback for something I must've done earlier. "Dani?" I called out, putting my hand on her shoulder. Her eyes snapped open and she suddenly bounded up out of the chair, as if someone set it on fire. "Ah! Yes! Its good to be back! That was too long of a sleep for me.. my companion must have abandoned me. That hasn't happened before. Where.. what the devil am I wearing? Jeans? I've always hated jeans." She suddenly rambled, with a somehow newer voice. It was still Dani, but her voice now had a ring to it as if was ancient and new all at the same time.

"Dani?" I asked, my voice showing my disamusement.

She looked over at me as she had seen me for the first time, then it hit her. "Ah! So that was my alias? I'll have to remember that. How long have I been Dani?" She asked, putting her hand on her chin.

Oh God. Not this shit again. "You didn't take your meds again. I'm going to tell your mom because this time, dude, I think you've gone off the deep end." I said and headed for the door. When I opened it, however, I was in complete shock. What was once a fully furbished house with her mom in the kitchen and her sisters in the livingroom, was all now empty and tattered. The paint was peeling off the walls and there were holes in the floor. I slowly went back into Dani's room, closed the door, then reopened it. "....what."

"Oh, looks like the image programmer turned off when I came back. A shame really, I was starting to like that Soraya woman. She was fiesty and so.... Spanish." Dani said with a little wiggle of her fingers. She walked over to her closet and started going through it. "Nope. Nope. Nope. God you let me wear that? What kind of best friend are you?" She said with a face of otter disgust as she looked at a pair of chain pants she had for so long.

I stared at her. This wasn't Dani. At least, not anymore. "Who the hell are you." I dared to ask, shoulders square and ready to fight for my life if I had to.

"I didn't say? My apologies. My name's The Doctor. The 'Dani' you knew was just an alias while I was made human. I was running from the Sontarans. Nasty group they are. Followed me and my companion Clara here. I told her I was going to mask us for a while, but something must've happened to her. I've been cloaked for..." she stopped and looked up and whistled a little tune as she thought. "Oh about... 8 years or so? I can't even remember what I did with the TARDIS." She said and scratched her head.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "The Doctor. What doctor. You don't even know how to keep yourself from picking your scabs."

"Hey. That's actually a good thing and shows intelligence. I'm a doctor of.... well, everything. Now stop dawdling and help me find the TARDIS." she said and held her hand out to me.

I had trusted this girl for eight years out of my 22 so far. I sighed and took her hand, and yelped as she dragged me forward, through the raggity house and down the falling apart stairs. We went to the backyard, and she sniffed the air for a moment. "It's here... I know it is." She said and looked at the woods behind her house. Dani never went in there, but The Doctor stared at it long and hard. With a snap of her fingers, something sounded like it opened. She grinned and ran forward, left me standing there feeling like a complete idiot. Of course, that's when she ran smack into whatever it was she was looking for. I didn't see it, and thought she tripped. I ran over to her. "I always do that.. why do I bother- AWWWW! IT HAS OVERGROW ON IT! DAMNIT." She yelled as she started ripping vines off... whatever it was. Why hadn't I noticed some creepy vines just floating in mid air? God I felt so dense. "Hold on a moment." The Doctor said to me and inches her way around. She disappeared a moment, and then I heard the strangest noise I had ever heard. I jumped back, nearly stumbling over my own feet.
