i.
Sitting on the floor was Naomi Brown. Around her were dozens of pictures that she took with her Polaroid camera. The pictures consisted of nature shots, pictures of her with a nice view, things that looked cool, family pictures and pictures with her friends. She was sipping on a nice cup of tea and concentrating on the pictures around her. Planning on whether she should frame some of it or simply hang them on her bedroom wall.
Putting her tea down, she aligned the pictures neatly and started grouping them in their group. If it was a nature picture or family picture, etc. It took her 20 minutes to arrange all the pictures. However, there were some pictures that didn't really fit into any group. She didn't really know what she was thinking when she took the shot of a little blue box.
It just fitted with the view. The way the light was perfectly balanced with the blue box. There were 5 different photos of the little blue box in different locations. She didn't know what it was or why she kept taking pictures of hit, but she did have to admit that the pictures were beautiful.
She shrugged then gathered the 5 photos and put them in a pile. She stood up from her sitting position and went to get a marker from her room. Upon returning from her room, she sat on the floor again and wrote on the pictures.
Marking what group they belonged to. When she reached the photos of the strange box, she didn't know what to write so she simply wrote at the bottom 'the little blue box'.
Gathering all of photos, she pulled out a box from underneath the table beside her then gently dropped the pictures in it. She closed the lid and pushed the box to its original position. Standing up, she walked towards her telly to watch some news. With a cup of tea on her hand, she sat down at her couch and breathed in. It was such a lazy Saturday. She has nothing to worry about. Flipping through channels, she didn't find anything special to watch. With the telly still open, she walked towards her window and looked outside.
Sunlight shone from her living room window. Gazing down on the people below who were walking, talking and frivolous. A small smile crawled to her face as she took in the events unfolding in front of her. Trees swayed with the placid wind and birds chirped in glee. There was no better Saturday than this.
The sound of a mobile phone ringing snapped her out of her thoughts. She settled her tea on the table and grabbed her phone on the couch. She then pressed answer then put it beside her ear.
"Hello?" her voice lifted the silence in her flat.
A rumbled sound came in the other end of the line. With a bemused look on her face, she pulled away her phone from her ears to stare at the caller I.D. it was her best friend, Tyler. She then carefully returned her phone to her ear.
"Tyler? You there?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah. Hey, Naomi!" a low, husky voice answered in the end of the line.
"Tyler! Hey, buddy. What was that noise awhile ago?"
"Oh that. Nothing. Just ignore that. I was wondering…Wait hold on," Tyler quickly said. An amused look covered Naomi's face as she waited for Tyler in the other end.
She could hear the sound of crashing objects and Tyler's dog barking. Whatever was happening it doesn't sound good, but she was still laughing about it inside her mind. After a few seconds, Tyler's then said, "Okay, so, I was wondering if we could hang out today? Since the day is really nice and I know you like taking pictures of, um, nature. So, what do you say? Hang out with you old pal?"
She laughed and replied, "Wouldn't miss it for the world, Tyler. Meet me in the spot in 10, okay?"
"Yeah, okay, sure." Tyler answered back with a grin on his face.
Naomi ended the call and headed for her room. Her flat was small, but it was okay. She was the only living here anyway. Upon entering her room, she was greeted by her serene white walls and her messy bed. The duvet twisted in many angles and some hanging on the edge or touching the floor. She paused and stared at it, contemplating on whether to fix it or not. She then shrugged then turned towards her closet.
She was not the fashion type to wear branded clothes or mash-up clothes to look cool, but she loved wearing dresses. And, now, she would wear her favorite dress. It was perfect for a lazy Saturday as this. She pulled out her floral lace high low dress that looked like drawing outlines with a black thin belt around her waist. For her shoes, she chose her black suede boots. And with one last touch, she opened a drawer that contained her only hat, a basic straw fedora. The hat had black dusts on it so she wiped and blew it away.
"Okay, then," She breathlessly whispered.
Walking to her full-body mirror, she smiled in content as she saw herself. Her reddish-brown hair framed her face. She didn't own any makeup except for a strawberry lip gloss which she put on.
"How long did I take?" she muttered. She turned around to look at her alarm clock.
"Two minutes. Not bad, Naomi," She said a smug look on her face.
With one last overlook of her clothes, she walked out her bedroom and into the living room to get her over-used tote bag. She put her cellphone, Polaroid camera, some cash, towel for emergencies and a hairbrush.
"What else, what else?" She muttered, rummaging through her bag.
"Okay, I got everything. Let's go."
She then walked towards her door, opened it and went outside. Locking her flat, she walked down the pavement and breathed in.
"Mmmm… Saturday," She sighed.
She was sitting on a secluded bench in the park, overlooking buildings and such. She was waiting for more than 15 minutes now, but she didn't mind. She took a lot of pictures while she was waiting. Raising her camera, she was about to take a picture of a child and his mom when she heard a sound. A very peculiar sound that she never heard before. The sound was awfully close and getting louder by the second.
Scared, she carefully looked around her and saw nothing out of the ordinary. It was just the normal park with normal people. After a few seconds, the sounds stopped. She released a breath she didn't know she was holding and slowly stood up, camera at the ready. Whatever that was she wanted a picture of it.
She started to look around for something that wasn't there before and to her surprise she saw the little blue box again.
"Why do you keep popping out of nowhere, mate?" she said to no one. The little blue box settled itself between a tree and a bench. She gazed at the other people to see why no one was finding this blue box strange and why it just appeared out of nowhere.
She slowly walked towards the box. She was a few feet away when she saw the door of the little blue opening. Alarmed, she quickly hid behind a tree. She knew that she could be seen since the tree wasn't thick enough to fit her physique. Regardless, she act cool which she failed at. She pretended that she was taking pictures of the sky, but she kept glancing at the three people who just emerged from the little blue box.
How the hell did they fit there? She thought. She was only a few feet away from them so she could hear their conversation enunciated clearly.
"Doctor? Doctor?! What the hell are we back here in Britain?! You promised us a beach." A Scottish accent bellowed out. Curious, she took a small peak and saw a red-hair girl, a brown-haired guy that wasn't wearing a bow tie and the guy wearing a bow tie.
"I just gave you a beach a month ago." The bow tie man replied.
"Well, Rory and I didn't get to enjoy it since we were attacked by Cybermen! You call that a trip?!" the red-head said.
"Oh, you enjoyed it anyway, Pond!" the bow tie replied childishly. The Scottish girl rolled her eyes and turned to the brown-haired guy whispering something to his ear.
The brown-haired guy smiled and kissed the Scottish girl's cheek.
"Ugh," the bow tie man uttered in disgust.
Red head crossed her arms and said, "Why are we here anyway? What is it this time, Doctor? Weeping Angels, Daleks, another Cybermen? Oh, don't tell me, another weird alien thing that has nothing better to do than to destroy Earth!"
"Control your wife, Williams," the 'doctor' said. Brown hair man nodded and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
The three of them started walking away from the blue box and started talking again about things that Naomi didn't even understand.
She waited behind the tree, waited for their voices to fade away. When the time was right, she run full speed towards the box. She stopped when she was inches away. She hesitated to touch the blue box. What if it's poisoned? What if it's hot that I'll get a third degree burn? Or what if I'll die the moment I touch it?! She shook her head at the last thought. That was completely absurd.
"Here it goes," she breathed out. She closed her eyes and raised a hand. She winced when she touched it and pulled her hand back. Opening her eyes, she looked at her hand and saw nothing, no burn or wound.
"I guess it's just wood," she decided. Raising her hand again, she glided it on the smooth wood and she circled around it.
"What are you?" she asked to no one.
When she reached the front of the blue box, she touched the handle and tried to pull it open.
"Locked, of course," she said.
"How come you can fit all three people in there, buddy?" She said to the box patting on the wood.
She slowly walked backwards to admire it in arm's length. Looking up, she saw that it says Police Box. She opened her bag to pull out her camera and, again, she took pictures of the little blue box. After taking a lot of photos, she wanted to touch it again, but mid-way she stopped when she heard Tyler's voice from afar.
"Hey, Naomi!"
Turning around, she saw Tyler's blonde hair bounced up and down as he waved at her. Grinning, she waved back at him and raised a one moment sign. Tyler nodded and gave thumbs up. A small smile on her, she gaze one last glance at the box and jogged towards Tyler.
"Well, hello, Tyler," She seductively said when she arrived beside him. She didn't like Tyler in a boyfriend/girlfriend way, but she did like him as a friend. She just likes randomly flirting at people.
"Naomi Brown, good to know you're still the same," Tyler said. Both pair smiled and started hugging each other.
"I missed you, Tyler!" Naomi exclaimed.
"Missed you too, Brown," Tyler whispered to her ear. He buried his head on the crook of her neck and breathed in her scent.
They pulled away and started laughing.
"What were you doing with the box?" Tyler asked nodding towards the little blue box.
"Um, nothing, actually, just curious 'tis all," she replied giving him a small smile. "So, Tyler, what's with the random inviting me to the park thing?" she asked him.
"Well, just wanted to ask you something," Tyler started.
"Okay... What about?" Naomi replied.
"Not here. I'll tell you in the coffee shop. Come on," Tyler said and smiled down at Naomi.
Naomi looked up at him and held his hand.
"Come on, then!" Tyler exclaimed then they both laughed as they run towards their coffee shop.
Unbeknownst to the pair, was the three set of eyes looking at Naomi in bewilder. Amy, Rory and the Doctor were sitting on a bench. They lowered the big newspaper covering their faces. The three settled their gazes on Naomi's head. Amy, Rory and the Doctor saw the exchange Naomi had with the TARDIS.
Rory actually saw it first and told the others and they watched from afar as they saw the exchange. Rory saw it because he told Amy and the Doctor that he forgot his jacket at the TARDIS and said that he needed it. The Doctor complained that they were running out of time, but Amy argued and the Doctor, annoyed, agreed. And that was where Rory saw a girl in a dress touching and taking pictures of the TARDIS and warned the Doctor and Amy.
"Looks like you've got a stalker then, Doctor?" Amy joked.
"What do you think she was doing?" Rory asked the Doctor who was squeezed between him and Amy.
"Obviously taking pictures and touching the TARDIS," the Doctor explained. Even he didn't know what the girl's intentions were with the TARDIS and why she tried to pull it open.
Amy stood up and straightened her clothes. "Well, I'm not staying here to wonder about the girl. We have a world to save."
"Right then!" the Doctor jumped and started running towards the place they were supposed to go. Rory rolled his eyes and trying to catch up with the group.
Naomi was sitting across Tyler. She was eating her favorite brownies from the store while Tyler was drinking coffee. Naomi was grinning because Tyler was dating someone named Ashley. Some brunette he met at a bar. He told her how he met Ashley or Ash for short. It involved some body shots and Never Have I Ever game. And, about what Tyler said, it was one hell of a night after that.
"Good to know you're getting some," she teased.
"Ha ha," Tyler sarcastically said flicking some brownies pieces to her. "Anyway, what about you? Any man…or woman?"
Naomi choked at her brownie when she heard what Tyler just said.
"Woman? I'm not a lesbian and I don't intend on dating anyone just yet," she matter-of-factly said taking a huge bite off her brownie.
"Yet," Tyler emphasized a smirk played on his face. Naomi rolled her eyes and said, "Oh. Grow up, Ty."
After a few minutes of talking and laughing, Naomi excused herself to go to the loo. Tyler nodded and shifted his gaze to his phone probably texting Ashley.
Naomi stood up and went to find the loo. Meanwhile at the coffee shop, three disheveled, breathless looking people entered. The people eating and sipping coffee turned their gaze, including Tyler's, to them then back at what they were doing.
"Well that was…" Rory started.
"What the hell was that?" Amy asked.
"Don't even ask," the Doctor coolly said as he straightened his stance and his bow tie.
"I am not even going to ask. Rory, did you see that weird goo on the whatever-the-hell-that-was' face? It moved towards us and I think it followed us…" Amy said her eyes opened in horror as she quickly turned around to see if there was weird goo following them.
Rory turned around slowly too and breathed out, their worries fading away when they saw nothing. "Oh thank God," he said. Rory and Amy turned to look at the Doctor who was smiling at them. The Doctor was sitting on one of the small couches they have.
"Well, are you just going to stand there?" he asked.
Rory and Amy watched him strangely then carefully sat down across from him.
"So we're going to have some tea while we wait for that…thing?" Rory asked the Doctor. Amy turned to look at the Doctor as well waiting for an answer.
"That is exactly what we're going to do," the Doctor said. He took out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the area for the alien if it was disguising itself.
"Not here," he said, suspiciously then continued, "unless…" He stood up, sonic screwdriver at hand and went to the restrooms.
Rory and Amy following his movements then they stared at each other. Rory cleared his throat then said, "So what do you want me to get you?"
"What do they have?" Amy replied. Then they both stood up and lined up to order.
Naomi was washing her hands thoroughly and then washed her face as well. Her face dripping wet she gazed at the mirror to look at her face. Her freckles, that she doesn't like, were staring at her mocking her that they were there to emphasize her flaw.
"Oh, bugger off," She said as she continued washing her face. She heard the door to the ladies' room open and ignored it. With her eyes still closed, she grabbed the towel from her bag and wiped her face. Her eyes widened as she saw a man! A man in the ladies' room!
"What the hell?!" She shouted. Her face was still dripping a bit. The man was holding a metal object that was making a raucous sound. The man wasn't facing her; his face was pressed up the wall with the metal thing in his hand muttering weird things. When she shouted, the man straightened his position and stared at her.
"You're the stalker?!" The Doctor exclaimed pointing his sonic screwdriver at her.
Naomi glared at the man and shouted again, "Stalker?! What the hell are you on about?! I don't even know you!"
"The girl touching my TARDIS! That was you!" The Doctor exclaimed the sonic still pointed at her. He did a full body scan on the girl.
"TARDIS? Wha-? Who are you?!" The girl kept shouting.
The Doctor pulled his sonic back and stared at what the scan said Human.
"Good, you're human. No alien here," He said looking around the loo.
"Of course, I'm human! Is that even an option?! Who the hell are you?" Naomi was seriously going to punch this guy if he didn't say who he was.
"I'm the Doctor," the Doctor said, smugly. He then proceeded to straighten his bow tie.
"Doctor who?" Naomi said, calming down a little.
"Just the Doctor,"
"Well, bow tie, or Doctor who ever you are, get the hell out of here!" Naomi shouted as she turned around to look at the mirror and roughly wiped her face with the towel. She could hear movement behind her. Whoever this Doctor was she didn't want to see him ever again and what is he even talking about 'aliens' and 'tardis'.
She removed her towel and let out a squeal of surprise when she saw the 'doctor' leaning beside her. She jumped away and pointed her hairbrush at him.
"One more step and I'm using this," it was a poor threat, but she didn't want this man to go near her.
"What are you going to do? Brush me to death? I'm scared," He teased.
Naomi still didn't lower her brush. The Doctor moved closer, but Naomi moved backwards again.
"Don't," she said pushing the hairbrush towards him.
The Doctor raised his hands in surrender then leaned on the sink.
"What's your name?" he asked her.
"Why would I say it if you didn't say yours?" she retorted.
"I told you," the Doctor frowned.
"Oh yeah. The Doctor. Brilliant name," she sarcastically said, but the Doctor didn't notice the sarcasm. Instead, he took it as a compliment.
"I know," he grinned then continued, "What's your name?"
She hesitated then said, "Nicole."
The Doctor shook his head then said, "Liar."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes. You're Naomi,"
"And how the hell do you know that?!" She shouted the brush inches away from the Doctor's face.
"You're friend has one hell of a loud voice when he screamed your name across the park," the Doctor explained.
"Oh so you were there too in the park? Who's the stalker then?" she argued.
"You were the one touching my TARDIS without permission!" the Doctor snapped.
Naomi lowered the brush and stepped closer to the Doctor. She put her index finger on his chest and said, "What the hell are you talking about?!"
"My TARDIS! The little blue box! The one you keep taking pictures of without permission again!" The Doctor said.
"Oh so the little blue box has a name then? Tardis. Why Tardis?" she asked, curious.
The Doctor then moved away and took a step closer to the restroom doors.
"Now that is another story for another time. Goodbye, Naomi," the Doctor said, pulling the doors open when she saw Naomi pushed the door close again. Naomi pushed the Doctor against the wall and stepped closer to him. Their nose inches away.
"And how do you know there will be another time?" Naomi whispered gazing to look at his eyes.
The Doctor smirked then leaned closer. He could feel her breath fanning his face and their mouth inches away.
"Because I'll make sure there will be a next time," the Doctor whispered. Naomi smiled then pat his chest then she pulled away. She went to the sink to grab her bag and walked to the door, the Doctor staring at her.
"See you later then, bow tie man," she said then exited the loo.
