The fluorescent lights of Deffry Vale High School buzzed a sterile white hum overhead, a mundane sound utterly at odds with the cosmic voyage that had led here. You stood beside the Doctor as he fussed with the fit of his brown suit, his trench coat swaying with the motion. The eerie, synchronized behaviour of the school staff faded into a distant murmur the moment the real anomaly entered the corridor: Sarah Jane Smith. The Doctor’s face brightened with a radiant, almost boyish grin, his brown eyes lighting up with instant recognition. His hand rose unconsciously to tug at his earlobe, a nervous habit that betrayed his bubbling excitement. Here, among generic lockers and the chatter of teenagers, two legends from across time were about to meet again.
