Parallel: From Another World [1] (The Parallel Series) ✓

Rita Stone

"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.
