It was the night after finals, and it was time for two twin sisters sharing a dorm to settle down and start watching Doctor Who.
"You've got the popcorn, right?"
"Yeah, I've got the popcorn, have you got all the merch?"
"Yup! So, Izzy, which episode shall we start with?"
Izzy responded, "I don't know, Melanie. How about...all of them?"
Both of the twins giggled.
"New Who?"
"Marathon?"
"Yup!"
They popped the first DVD into the disc player and settled down for a long night of Doctor Who.
The two twins had just finished season one when they heard it. A sound that could only be described as a housekey rubbing up against a piano string. Izzy and Melanie exchanged a glance.
"That was your phone, wasn't it?" Izzy asked.
"Probably. I'll check," Melanie responded. But, as she looked over at the side-table next to the couch, she noticed that her phone didn't have any notifications on it. "Uhm, Izz, my phone doesn't have any notifications on it."
"Couldn't've been mine. I changed my ringtone so we'd stop confusing our phones," she explained.
The twins slowly turned towards each other. After exchanging a knowing glance, they sprinted towards the window, not caring what they knocked over. Outside, in the park across the street, a few leaves stirred. As the sound grew louder and louder, the bright light of a thousand stars began to shine in one spot. Slowly, the glowing outline of a box started to form. Izzy and Melanie stared out the window in awe; as the impossibly blue box materialized, they got to see it in all its splendor. The TARDIS.
