i noticed dalekaddison said he thought about starting a thread to flesh out the characters of the doctor and jasmine in a beginning story, so i thought i'd start this thread so we can do just that.
Jasmine was sat at her desk giving her friend Sophie a manicure, chatting about all the strange things that had been happening lately in Manchester, several people had dissapeared.
"I reckon that it's some kind of government conspiracy" said Sophie
"Don't be daft Soph, people go missing all time"
"yeah but they aren't all the same height and age are they? they're always different"

The two girls laughed, and continued their work.
On the outskirts of Manchester, there was indeed a traffic jam. Several cars had narrowly escaped a pile up, and long delays were expected.
The cause of it all stood in the middle of the motorway. An antiquated Police telephone box had appeared, as if out of nowhere, and many drivers had to suddenly swerve to avoid it. The police were baffled.
The Doctor stepped out of the Tardis, only to be greeted by the men in blue.
"Sorry", he said, "The directional control seems to have broken down, I've been meaning to fix it. I'm the Doctor by the way. How d'you do?"
Cue Opening Titles
"Hey!" The doctor shouted. "You got any of those cakes with edible ballbearings? There brilliant!"
He was address them behind the glass, but they ignored him.
"So what are we getting from him?"
"He says he's Doctor John Smith. He's got ID and everything"
"But why the hell did he have one of those boxes doing in the motorway?"
"I contacted CSI, there getting us some camera footage of the event."
"Brilliant. It's odd to as it is actually a london police box not a manchester one."
"Odd"
"Come on!" shouted the doctor "i'm hungry! i know my rights. Actually there infantismel but you all think im human so"
"He's a bit odd too"
The canal beneath her began to bubble. To her left, two teenagers walked idly, listening to their Ipods. She watched them for a while as they idled over the bridge.
A noise behind her startled her. She turned to look behind her to find her friend Sophie holding a coffee.
And then she heard the screaming start.
"Its a sonic screwdriver"
He slammed his fists against the table. "i'll bet you've got laser spanners and ultraviolet wrenchs in there as well huh?!?!?"
"Nope, just a sonic screwdriver."
The captain sighed and began pacing the room.
"Got psychic paper too you know"
"i don't really care"
"Are you the bad cop?"
The captain stopped. " whats that supposed to mean?"
"nothing. just curious. You know the old trick, 'god cop bad cop'. I helped make that. I was bad. Now anyway! You should let me go now or let me stay here and sue you."
"You haven't got a strong enougth case."
"Nor do you to keep me here."
The captain growled and opened the door. the doctor got up and left.
"thanks"
the captain looked back at the room and saw a pair of hand cuffs on the table.
"How did he.....? I really need some sleep."
"God Jas, what's gotten into you?"
"Thought I saw an alien for a moment by those teenagers over there,"
"Sorry, did you say alien?" a man asked, pulling himself away from the crowd and bounding over to Jasmine. His tousled brown hair bounced as he ran, his coat swirling in the breeze.
"Hello, I'm John. Care to tell me what you know?"
"Oh nothing, just thinking of the time I saw a spaceship over Manchester,"
"You mean a great big Dalek one a few months back?"
"No actually, I meant last night," Jasmine replied.
"What! What?"
I'm confused
did you miss The Stolen Earth/Journeys End,i think its safe to say the populace would know what a Dalek is:D
Yeah suppose. But still. We did daleks before. Why not sontarens. Or. perhaps. Burn me if you will. A totally new monster!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Oh my days!
(Actually, i hate it when people say that)
i dont think they are going to be Daleks,i just think hes referencing the Daleks from TSE/JE,by doing that hes placing these adventures in between JE and The Next Doctor
Oh, so the doctor thinks he's appeared months later but really it's just the next day
"A wheel spaceship? Bright yellow eyes? Possible attraction to water? Scorpion like? Hmm quite a few possibilities. Can't be the Sea Devils..."
Sophie and Jasmine gave the Doctor a funny look.
"Sorry, I play computer games. Anyway, do you girls fancy accompanying me on a wee cruise?" the Doctor asked, flawlessly imitating a Scottish accent.
"What if that thing attacks?"
"I don't think it will. Come on!"
"So, what other possibilities?
"Well there's a species of cave-dwelling scorpion's on the planet Karagula and Earth has alot of caves, it could be the Xaranti"
The Doctor stopped suddenly.
I only hope it isn't the Uuuuum, cos if it is the Earth is in serious trouble.
"He's mad Jas"
"Possibly, but a little madness keeps life interesting"
"Your both mad".
Nice. making a reference to that other thread.
Well you said why not use a new monster
"So you reckon he's some sort of government agent?" Sophie asked, eyebrow raised.
"Could be. He is sorta cute though isn't he," Jasmine replied.
"What do you reckon the Uuuuuuum are ?"
"Scorpion like creatures which live in the waters of the planet Aarvon," the Doctor answered, shaking his hair as he entered the warmth of the cabin.
"You mean like that?" Sophie said, pointing at the creature that had just hauled itself over the edge of the barge.
"Oh dear. That's bad,"
"Right!" shouted the doctor "i can set the sonic to the right setting to effect its nervous system"
The doctor pulled out the sonic screwdriver and darted outside.
Sophie and jasmien watched as the doctor ran up and began to wrestle the the scorpion, attempting to use the sonic on its head.
The doctor is chucked around a side which they can't see, the scorpion follows.
They stare at each other for awhile
"i need a drink" says sophie as she makes her way to the bar
"Sophie. Why? ou know what happened if you drink to much"
"I know, but i just saw an ummmm scorpion attack a government agent with a sound wrench"
"i think it was a sonic screwdriver"
"Ah, potatoe potatoe"
"See simple, just get it on the right setting and it attacks the cerdinal cortex of the ummm brain, causing them a little bit of pain, but not too much, wouldnt want to it hurt it too much"
"Oh no, god forbid that we hurt that poor creature too much" Sophie said sarcastically "i mean it's only been taking a load of people and leaving no trace of them behind"
The doctor scowled slightly
"What is it Mr Smith?" said Jasmine tentativley
"Weelll its just that ummm scorpions aren't meat eaters, they're quite happy just eating the silt off the bottom of the river" said the doctor
"So how come it attacked us?!" said Sophie incredously
"Well wouldnt you attack a big giant thing that nearly took your tail off..that is if you had a tail, i mean this boat must of gone right over its nest, hence the reason it attacked"
"I like the way you think. What's your name again?"
"Jasmine,"
"Right then Jasmine. Funny thing is, there's an Uuuum nest at the bottom of the Manchester Canal. And I can't do anything about it. Most likely the Uuuum you saw last night has been here for a few days, which doesn't solve the thing that's stealing people,"
"But it's waterbound. That's what everyone's been saying. People have disappeared by the canal,"
"The Uuuum are just scavengers, unless... no... Right then ladies, I need to head back to land because something isn't quite right here. Jasmine do you fancy giving me a hand?"
"What about Sophie?"
"Nah she'll just get in our way," the Doctor remarked wryly to the disgust of Sophie. "Off we go then"
"He's not safe Jas"
"Your drunk remember"
"yeah and your young and attractive. what if he......you know.........has his way with you?"
"He wouldn't dare! And besides, it doesn't suit him."
"Yeah, of course. Its a false sense of security"
The doctor darted towards them
"Here it is, the stinger of the Ummm. Got it off it in that fight. It'll grow another"
"Wow, that stingers huge."
"Hmm, i'm going to scan it in the TARDIS"
"The what?"
"That." He pointed to a large wooden blue box in the middle of the alley way. "I had to move it. I parked it in a motorway, massive traffic jam. Sorry"
"Thats fine." she said waving it away. As if he really did have to apologize to her "but.....its a bit small isn't it?"
"Well, yeah" he began to walk towards it. "But thats what makes it brilliant doesn't it?"
He walked away to the box. Jasmine just stood staring. The doctor pulled out a key, he placed it in the lock and turned it. He looked back at the two, smiled and waved and entered the box.
"OK, now what?" said sophie.
"We wait" Jasmine began slowly etching her way toward the box
"Well, do what you want, i'm going home." she turned and walked away
"Don't drive!" called Jasmine "get a cab, you've had a few"
"Yeah yeah" With that she was gone.
Slowly, Jasmine made her way to the box. As she approached, she reached out to touch it. An odd sensation. 'Its like it's alive' she muttered. She noticed the door was ajar. No sign of the Doctor. She pushed the door open and peered within.
"John, what is this place?"
"It's not John. I'm the Doctor,"
"Doctor of what? History?"
"Sort of.. more just 'The Doctor' or Doctor really. In answer to your other question it's the TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. TARDIS. Clever that, acrostics,"
"But it's just a blue box!"
"Bigger on the inside Jasmine," the Doctor laughed. The central console pinged, and the Doctor shifted a computer screen towards him.
"Strange, the scan suggests evidence of Xarvec"
"What's that, another acronym?"
"Nah, just a mineral in the water really. Generally found on the planet Aarvon. Which means it's not the Uuuum taking the people. It's much bigger..."
