It was an average day. The sun was shining. People were milling around, driving here, walking there...chatting on cellphones...

Somewhere in a small kids park in the city, a blue phone box slowly rematerialized with a grinding sound that died away as it came into being. The door opened and out stepped the Doctor. He breathed in, always liking it when he changed timelines. Something new about the past, something about being there rather than just hearing about it.

He looked off at a nearby clock tower, noting he'd made it spot on. "Atta girl," he patted the Tardis with a smile. He'd brought them 15 minutes before Sam had said his accident had happened. He hadn't been able to set them down exactly where he'd said, but the Doctor had made it within a few blocks at least...he was pretty sure...

Besides, it wouldn't have looked good to set down like that in such a heavily populated area. He knocked on the tardis door. "It's alright, you can come out now." He wondered why Sam was taking so long. They were here, weren't they?

Same heard the knock. He'd been waiting for what seemed like eternity. He's up. He's ready. Sam Tyler is gonna take the world by its tail and kick some time thieving butts. He's gonna ...dodge an actual Dodge ball?!

"What, no, wait, this isn't ...oh, ok. It's one block over and two blocks up." Sam blinked; His eyes were slightly puffy and red from stress and lack of good sleep. But it was what he was NOT seeing, besides the apartments, that captivated his attention the most. The Towers were gone. Again. He did not know what to think on that. There was too much going on, too many squirrely nightmares and thoughts, believe it or not.


"Ok, right, this way then." Sam looked as if he were going to power walk the entire way before he stopped. "How early are we again?"
