Convergence on Lawndale - Part 7

Daria awoke early. She wondered what was happening with the Doctor’s investigation. She looked out at the TARDIS, before wandering over to her closet.


The Doctor was still stumped, the TARDIS was still parsing the data and Peter was bored. There was a knock at the door. “Has to be Daria, Quinn should still be asleep,” the Doctor said. He clicked his fingers, opening the doors. “Good Morning, Daria.”

“Any progress?” Daria asked.

“Not much,” Peter said.


The Doctor than explained what they had found so far.

‘So, Peter was right,’ Daria considered when he had finished.

“Yes,” the Doctor answered.

“I’ll tell Quinn that when she gets up.”

“Sure.”


Kim and Ron had found a small café in Dega Street. “This street seems a little run down,” Ron commented.

“It’s not that bad,” Kim said.

“I suppose…” Ron said. He paused before adding. “Compared to some places we’ve been.”

Kim looked in her copy of the Sun Herald. “There’s not much happening. Maybe a radio station would be a better idea.” The café was playing music, but she wasn’t sure if it was from a radio station or a CD.

“Maybe we should have asked Wade to dig up more information on this period,” Ron groused.

“I’m sure he already is,” Kim mused.

“Good point.”


ExpandDaria saw Quinn enter the kitchen. )

“I haven’t a clue,” Peter said.

“There isn’t much data here,” the Doctor said. “He turned to Peter. What do you know about Middleton, Colorado? That’s where it leads, a few years in the future.”


“I’m not familiar with it,” Peter answered.

“I guess we have to deal with this on this end,” the Doctor said.

“I think I could have a closer look at that thing,” Peter decided.

“Sure,” the Doctor said. “We can go back there rather quickly.”

“Let’s go,” Quinn said.

“Wait!” Daria said.

“What?” Quinn asked her sister.

“It’s four twenty,” Daria explained. “Sunrise is in two hours,”

“Plenty of time,” Quinn said in a dismissive tone and with a wave of her hand.

“I’ll make sure she gets to school,” Peter said.

“Good. Because I need more sleep,” Daria said with a yawn.

“I’ll meet you at breakfast,” Quinn said.

Convergence on Lawndale - Part 5

The Doctor and Quinn were halfway back to the Morgendorffers’ house, when they heard a strange noise. “What was that?” Quinn asked.

“No idea,” the Doctor answered. He took out the sonic and ran a scan. “Inconclusive! What do you mean ‘inconclusive?”

“What’s inconclusive?” Quinn asked.

“It’s unsure if the person was human or not.”

“You mean they’re a hybrid?” Quinn asked.

“Yes, of a sort.”

“Of a sort?”

“Mostly human, with some genetic engineering,” the Doctor clarified.

Quinn nodded in understanding. “Are they getting closer?” she asked.

“No, they’re keeping their distance. But I think they’ve been following us the past few blocks.”

“But not from the portal?”

“No,” the Doctor answered. “Whoever they are, they’re certainly from this side.”

“So, we keep going?”

“Yes.”

ExpandKim, Ron and Rufus arrived back at the portal. )

“There aren’t any records of a portal.”

“But?” Kim prompted.

“There are references to ‘strange events’ occurring in early-to-mid May of 1999, so something is definitely going down.”

“Thanks Wade.”

“So, we’re going to get involved?” Ron asked.

Kim gave him a look.

“Of course, we are.”

“Whatever happened in Lawndale is almost certainly going to spill over to Middleton.”

“So, what now?” Ron asked.

Excerpt from:
Two days later, Quinn arrived at Stacy’s house on the way to school. “How did it go with Pizza Forest?” Stacy asked as she let Quinn inside.

“They were quite annoyed,” Quinn said with a giggle. “But I think we need to get out of the class.”

“I have the notes,” Stacy said.

“Great!”

Convergence on Lawndale - Part 4

Quinn arrived at the portal, where she found the Doctor waiting on the other side.

“So?” he asked.

“There is information on Lawndale.”

“And?”

“It matches what I know,” Quinn answered.

“It may be the same Earth, but in the future,” the Doctor groused. “There is potential for cross temporal problems here.”

“So, we wait for Daria?”

The Doctor thought for a moment. “She’s still heading back to the TARDIS. We can meet her part way, on her way back.”

“We’re going to leave the portal?” Quinn asked.

“We’ll come right back.”

Quinn nodded. They then left the portal.


ExpandDaria was a third of the way home when she heard something. )

She grabbed one of them. “Lawndale Sun-Herald?” she asked herself. “I suppose that’s where we are. Lawndale.”

“I haven’t heard of it. But Wade can help there,” Ron said.

“Yes, but look at this date,” Kim said. She passed Ron the newspaper.

“5th May 1999!” Ron read.

“A little over four years ago,” Kim realised.
