romanajo123 ( Saw a post today that said something to the effect of "We traveled all the way to NY to watch the ball drop, and we got into a fight" AU. So yeah wanted to play with that but not sure who with...Here's a bit with 5/N/T.
.....
"I still don't quite understand why we're here" Nyssa said, as she, the Doctor, and Tegan emerged from the TARDIS.
"New Year's Eve, Nyssa. We're here to watch the ball drop" the Doctor explained, taking a camera from one of his pockets. It was one of those instant kind, where the picture just came out of the camera.
Nyssa blinked, looking around at the enormous crowd of people rushing past them, many of them huddled in winter gear. "Are all these people here to watch the...ball drop?" Nyssa asked.
"Oh don't mind her, Doctor. I think it's great!" Tegan enthused, grabbing her bag as they headed down the street to explore for a few hours before the main event. But something caught Tegan's eye in a shop window. "Hey, that place still has a little Christmas tree up!" She pointed to the window. "Thought you said this was New Years."
Nyssa's ears tuned a bit as the sounds of piped in music from restaurant speakers filled the air. "And Doctor, I admit I'm no expert on Earth cultures, but I recall hearing this sort of music when we spent Christmas in Stockbridge."
"Well perhaps they haven't gotten around to changing it. " the Doctor replied, now noticing a woman run past them; her arms loaded with shopping bags. "Or...oh."
Tegan sighed. "I know that look. What is it this time? Daleks? Cybermen? "
"We're too early. " The Doctor pointed to a ticker in Time Square, displaying the date as 15 December.
"Well this is just great" Tegan said sarcastically, "Get us all excited and it's weeks away! What are we supposed to do?"
"We could always stay here"Nyssa suggested. "It's kind of nice, with all this snow."
