PROLOGUE/PRE-CREDITS SEQUENCE
Jimson Thomas leant agianst the overgrown, ruined wall, smoking. There was nothing for a teenager to do in Little Ponsford, it was so isolated. Hell, it even took a whole hour to get to college in the city each morning. Jimson stood, up spitting into the nettles, before shoving his hands into the pockets of his jacket and slouching out of the ruined mansion, towards the woods. His parents had always told him never to go near the woods, or the ruins of Drumer Manor. Some local legend of hauntings on the night the Manor burned down, and the death of the Earl of Drumer. Probably just superstitious nonsense.
Jimson walked through the dark woods, glowering at the ground, swearing when he tripped over tree roots. Jimson continued walking thorugh the grounds of the manor, which was left deserted by the other villagers. Eventually, the evening turned to night, and a fog rose. Jimson kept walking, teeth gritted in anger, until he came across the ruined chapel, which had burned down on the same night as the destruction of Drumer manor.
Jimson slumped against a gravestone, cursing to himself, the mist swirling around him. Hours passed, and the mist thickened, a chill creeping into Jimson's bones, growing colder and colder, until he could feel nothing more. And in his last moments of sight, he saw a faint image, a memory of three figures, a man, a young woman and a young man, the man wearing a sprig of celery in his lapel...

Melanie Bush wasn't completely sure where exatly she was going. One moment, she had been in the TARDIS, with the Doctor, now, she seemed to be wandering through a forest somewhere. It was cold. It was dark. And there were some rather creepy noises coming from far away in the distance. Suddenly, from in front of her, a very familiar sound broke the silence.

The Doctor bounded over to the other side of the console, twisting dials and throwing switches as the TARDIS whined around him. As the noise died down, he neglected to look at the viewscreen; after all, where was the fun if you knew where you were going all the time? Instead, he grabbed his hat, coat and scarf and threw them on as he strode over to the door. He pulled the door open and cast a look round the area. It seemed normal enough. Something suddenly caught his eye. It was a flash of red. He looked again, and saw a red-haired girl standing in front of him.

"Who are you?" asked Mel, "You're not The Doctor!"

The Doctor tipped his head to one side in confusion. "What do you mean? Of course I'm the Doctor! I might not be this Doctor or that Doctor or a Doctor or the next Doctor, but I am definitely the Doctor!" He said indignantly, looking down at himself just to make doubly sure that he was, in fact, the Doctor.

"I don't believe you," said Mel, folding her arms. Then, she smiled. "If you're really The Doctor, then you, my dear fellow, should enjoy a good glass of Carrot Juice. The Doctor I know loves the stuff!"

The Doctor winced slightly. "Are you sure we're talking about the same fellow? I'd much prefer a Jelly Baby instead... By the way, would you like a Jelly Baby?" He asked, rummaging in his pockets and thrusting the familiar white paper wrapper at the girl.

"Too much sugar', replied Mel, dismissively.

"Still, they're better than carrot juice." The Doctor shot back, taking a Jelly Baby from the wrapper, popping it in his mouth and stuffing the wrapper back into his pocket. "You, my dear, are going to get a serious sugar deficiency if you're not careful. What's your name, anyway?" He asked abruptly.

"I eat suger!" protested Mel, "But Jelly Babies just aren't my thing... My name's Melanie, anyway. Melanie Bush. My friends, of which you aren't, at the moment, call me Mel."

The Doctor regarded Mel thoughtfully. "You take a lot of convincing, don't you? Well, that's good, you should be very pleased with yourself. Come along, then." With that, he closed the TARDIS door, locked it, and started to stride off in the direction of the noises, his scarf fluttering carelessly behind him like a knitted banner.

Lewis Martin walked along the small and very quite main street. There was a small sweety shop open at the end of the street and over the road from that was a large church. Lewis Rolled up his sleve to show a very futuristic, flashing watch. He lifted it up to his mouth about to speak into it. "This is Officer Lewis Martin of the UNIT police squad of the year 2560. The time travel has worked and I have landed in my designated time. I am hoping to try and find out all I can before I return home. This is Officer Lewis Martin loging out". Lewis Martin walked up to the gate of the Church and looked up at the strange gar goil giving him a strange stare. He opened the gate and walked up the path into the unknowing church in front of him.

Mel was running after the man who, for some reason, she knew to be The Doctor. "Where are we going?" she asked him, desperately.

"Oh, somewhere." The Doctor replied with a manic and slightly unnerving grin. "After a few more seconds of walking, he stopped abruptly and threw out an arm to stop Mel.

The Doctor put a finger to his lips and shushed her quietly. There was a strange noise reverberating all around them, almost like a whispering. He looked down at Mel. "Can't you hear it? Listen..." He murmured.

"What is it, Doctor?"

The Doctor raised an eyebrow. So she'd managed to get the fact that he was the Doctor through her carrot juice-addled brain at last. Then he frowned slightly; the whispering was starting to echo painfully in his head. "I'm not sure... I know what it sounds like, but it's impossible... Let's keep moving." He set off again, quickening his pace even more.

Suddenly, Mel leaped into action, and pulled the Doctor out of the way, as a partially transperant monkey came flying out of the trees. "Still think I'm useless?" she asked him, glaring at him.

The Doctor looked up at her with wide, surprised eyes. "Did I say that out loud?" He asked curiously, and before Mel could reply, he added, "I wonder... what a fascinating creature... Shall we get a closer look?" He suggested with a grin.

"No... YOU stay here, if all you can do is wander round with that ridiculous scarf, booming your voice... At least my Doctor had a sense of fashion. Anyway, I'm gonna go after that thing. YOU are gonna stya here." And with that, she walked off into the forest, leacing The Doctor in her wake.

Lewis walked into the church and saw the whole villiage sitting listening to the vicar. "Hello I am Detective Inspector Lewis Martin and I am wondering if I can have a word with you all". With that the whole town turned their heads in sync, all sitting staring at Lewis. "Right then I think I will come backQ said Lewis stepping back out the door.

The Doctor shook his head indignantly as he sat on the side of the path, watching Mel disappear into the dense trees. Well, didn't that just take the biscuit; first this girl denied that he was the Doctor, then refused the offer of a Jelly Baby, then insulted his fashion sense, now she was ordering him to stay put... If it had been anyone else, he would have ignored that order completely, but good lord, that girl was shrill. He put another Jelly Baby in his mouth and chewed on it irritably. Sarah Jane had never behaved like this. Humans were so inconsistent. He reached into the Jelly Baby wrapper, then sighed. The wrapper was empty. His day was just getting better and better. He got to his feet, walked the few metres to the TARDIS and stepped inside. Provided the old girl was in a good mood today, he could find the nearest sweet shop, stock up and be back before the Harpy Queen even realised he was gone.

Suddenly, Mel burst back into the TARDIS. "Look what I've found," she said, holding up a bone, "In the churchyard".
