Hello! First time user here! So I wrote this story a few years ago, and really, it was bad. So I decided to rewrite it. I have it uploaded to Wattpad, and I've had a couple people suggest I upload it here. I've been using this site for years, but I've never felt up to par with the brilliant writing that I've seen. I was convinced, though. So here I am. I'm a bit nervous...oh boy.
Disclaimer Time!... I don't own Doctor Who or anything related, nor am I making any money off of this. I'm simply using it to make my own special little story.

The quaint little blue box landed with it's unusual mechanical groan at the doorstep of a little house in Petoskey, Michigan. The chilling air coming off of Lake Michigan was enough to make all of the residents on Exter Road wish they could just pack all of their things and leave for the winter.
The door to the blue box creaked open and out stepped a small lady with a wide grin spread across her face. Even as the cold wind nipped at her pale cheeks and blew her straight, ebony locks around her face, her eyes sparkled with a deep happiness.
Over at the end of the road, Old Mrs. Berik scowled at her and glared with suspicious eyes at the mysterious box that stood behind the girl. But the girl didn't seem to be fazed with the ugly expression on the woman's face and waved back happily.
"Get back to where you came from, child!" Mrs. Berik shouted, her scowl turning into a look of disgust as she wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to keep her body warm.
The girl only smiled wider. "But this iswhere I came from, Mrs. Berik!" shouted the girl.
The old lady merely shook her head and headed back into her house with nothing more than quick a glance at the box.
A soft chuckle made the girl turn around, still with that joyous grin and look at the man that stood in the doorway of the blue box.
"Who was that?" he asked, the corner of his mouth twitching upwards. He stepped out the box and stepped behind the girl so he look in the direction the shouting had come from.
She waved her hand dismissively. "That's just Mrs. Berik. The old grouch hated me since I was little," said the girl with a fond smile. They both stood, watching the house.
"And still you show no fear in the face of evil old ladies. Kaitlin, I do believe I'm beginning to rub off on you," the man chuckled fondly and rested his hands on her shoulders.
"Doctor, I do believe that may not be an entirely good thing," she mused frowning slightly. He laughed at her imitation of his voice and poked her arm playfully.
She shivered as a particularly cold gust of wind whipped around them. "God, I don't remember it being so cold."
"Oh, it's not so bad," he wrapped his arm around her, intending to help warm her. "At least it's not raining, but I have a feeling it will be soon," he murmured softly and looked up at the dark, looming clouds moving swiftly in their direction.
Kaitlin looked up and frowned at the sky. She never like rain. It brought her painful memories, and even though she knew it was ridiculous, she suspected it was out to make her life hell every time it came down.
The two stood in silence for a few moments as the wind started to pick up and the temperature dropped even further. Kaitlin was just about to suggest they go back inside their box, but the Doctor beat her to it.
"Hey, Kaitlin! Kaitlin! Look over there!" he bellowed excitedly and let go of her to point at a spot in the distance, jumping up and down with joy.
She watched him do so, amused by his behavior. "You are such a child," she chuckled but looked into the direction his excited finger was pointing.
On the shore of the water, stood a small black cat, licking it's paw thoroughly clean. Kaitlin couldn't help but burst into hysterical fits of laughter. The Doctor soon joined her as they both pointed at the cat and remembered their first meeting.
Minutes passed, and their loud, boisterous laughter turned into scattered giggles and then fond smiles. The Doctor turned to Kaitlin and leaned in next to her ear. "It's just a cat, dear," he whispered.
She fell back into hysterics at that and they walked back into their little blue box, laughing all the way.

It's just a short little bit, but it's better than it was previously. The next part we see the meeting of Kaitlin and the Doctor, and hopefully a few explanations.
