Lady A: Hello Everyone! Apologies to those waiting on other stories but this story has been pestering me for a while and I was finally able to select the right episode to start off with. There will be occasional filler chapters in between each episode and every chapter will have its own title. We will be starting off in Season 2 with the Tenth Doctor and his lovely companion, Rose Tyler. Be forewarned, some things will not make sense and that's because they have not occurred yet for our time/space jumper yet. Just tuck the information away because it will come up in later chapters.

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, only my original characters and the plot. Also inspiration for this idea is credited to one Danni Fielding. Check out The Time Child trilogy. It's awesome.

Chapter One: Rift Storm

Artimes impacted the ground hard, her entire body aching from not only the trip but the rather unexpected landing. Her entire body felt like it was burning from the inside out, but it was slowly fading away. It disappeared completely, leaving her in a state of exhaustion. She knew she was lying on her back because the asphalt was grating pretty roughly against her clothes. She was definitely going to have bruises later.

The last thing she remembered was being with her best friend, Mels. They had gone out to a karaoke bar and had a wild and crazy time like they did every Friday night. They had left a little late that evening but they only lived a few streets over so they didn't have to get cab or anything. They were halfway home when Mels stopped to check something on her phone, telling Artimes that she would catch up in two minutes. Of course, she listened to Mels as usual because more often than not she was right.

Artimes had entered an alleyway that seemed darker than normal and it had started to creep her out. She called back to her best mate to get her to hurry up, right before a golden energy appeared. It flowed over her and around her in waves. It was warm, accepting, and almost loving…like she had always known that energy. It made her happy, very happy, which was saying something considering she had been over the moon in the happiness department since she met and befriended Mels.

The warmth soon turned to burning as the energy wrapped tightly around her. She panicked and started screaming for her best friend. She was truly terrified out of her mind as she was ripped off her feet and flying backwards through what she assumed to be air. There had been a moment she had been close to losing consciousness and that was when it felt like she had been slammed into some sort of wall then forcibly drug through it. The pain of that action had been excruciating but the warmth had soothed it away right before she had landed on the ground.

Now she just felt completely and utterly spent and wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball and sleep for the next three weeks. She tried to sit up but her body was not processing her mental commands and it frustrated her. The throbbing in her head was pounding harshly inside her skull and she just wanted to stop hurting. All thoughts ceased as her heart sped up when a warm hand cupped her cheek gently.

"Artimes. Artimes, can you hear me? Artimes, please wake up." The voice pleaded.

Her mind went haywire as she recognized the voice, but it didn't make much sense to her. The voice belonged to Billie Piper, the actress that played Rose Tyler in Doctor Who. Why was she here? How did she know her name? What the hell was going on?

Artimes groaned as she opened her eyes slightly, only to shut them again because of the intense brightness. She really hated sunlight at that moment.

"Billie?" She asked her voice quiet and a little hoarse from her rough ride.

"Billie? No, Artimes. It's me, it's Rose." The blonde answered helping her to sit up which proved to be more painful than Artimes bargained for.

Artimes finally got her eyes open and adjusted to the light. She took a good look at the blonde haired girl next to her and immediately recognized the outfit from The Idiot's Lantern, but that was early in the series, wasn't it? She was wearing the pink dress and the tight jean jacket and even had those ridiculous sunglasses and pink shoes.

Artimes's head felt like it was about to explode as she stood up quickly, staggering a bit until Rose wrapped her arms around her waist to hold her steady. She couldn't be, could she? What was the likelihood of her being transported to a parallel universe where Doctor Who was real?

"Rose as in Rose Tyler, companion to the Doctor?" Artimes asked seeking confirmation on the incredibly outlandish and preposterous theory rolling around her still throbbing head.

"Artimes, why are you acting like we have never met before?" Rose countered looking confused and a little bit scared.

They had met before? How did that happen if they are only meeting just now? Artimes's mind flickered briefly to a few fan fictions she had read about an original character that jumped through time and space by various means and she wondered if that was really possible.

"Because we haven't. This is the first time I've met you or anything related to the Doctor. I'm not even sure how I got here in the first place, looked like a rift storm or something. Anyways, one second I'm with my best mate, Mels, and the next I'm shooting through the air surrounded by a gold light and then I woke up here...with you." Artimes answered finally able to stand up properly without falling over.

Artimes frowned slightly as her hair fell into her face. She grasped a thick lock and examined it closely. It was longer, shinier, and very, very red. In her universe, she was a dark blonde and she meant a very dark blonde; gave a whole new meaning to the term 'dirty' blonde. Now here in this reality, she had dark crimson hair. Did her eyes change color too? Did she grow a tail? Maybe she had pointed ears?

"Oh my God, this is your first jump! No wonder you're so out of it!" Rose exclaimed as the red head released her hair and tucked it behind her ears.

Nope, no pointy ears. Shame, she kinda liked the idea of being a Vulcan.

"Wait, what? What do you mean my first jump? What does that mean?" Artimes asked crossing her arms and staring pointedly at the blonde.

"The Doctor said you were connected to the heart of the Tardis and it makes you jump around his timeline." Rose summarized.

So she was connected to the Time Vortex…well it could explain the changes in her appearance which included the extra six inches in height, making her now 5'9" as opposed to her measly 5'3". Rose said she was connected to the Doctor's timeline, so that meant she would never really be alone and she would have access to food, clothing, and bedding if the Old Girl would allow her.

Artimes was broken out of her inner musings as her face scrunched up in pain, the throbbing intensifying.

"Does it always hurt this much?" She asked rubbing her head with her left hand.

"You told me that your early days were rough, but that the more you jump, the less painful it will become until there is no pain at all." The blonde answered.

Artimes sighed heavily. She might as well get things moving, because they were on a bit of a timetable.

"Chavtastic. Now off to cause mischief and mayhem." Artimes commented grinning like a mad woman.

"You never change, do you? Always trying to find trouble." Rose replied smiling at the red head in amusement.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, my beautiful and brilliant Rose." Artimes countered smirking.

The ginger woman dragged her blonde companion out to the main road, the pair laughing like idiots.
