Thanks to My Comp. teacher I was given the prompt: A squirrel preparing for winter in a unusual spot. Unfortunately, at the time I was outlining my crossover Being Human, this is what my mind drifted to...
Disclaimer: I don't in anyway own a squirrel, nuts, or Doctor Who
Squirrel in the Console Room.
It came through the open door, nuts clutched in its furry cheeks as it hopped. Little furry feet grabbing onto metal ground in the strange clearing of metal with strange leafless trees.
Stopping, it flicked its tail scanning the area for a safe place to hide his nuts. After all, this place looked dry, and it felt safe from predators. In the center of the weird clearing was a giant mushroom with glowing spots on its cap.
Noises alerted it to oncoming presences; quickly it dove under the mushroom and buried its way into its strange roots. Turning around it could see the rear paws of the two legged creatures that lived in those odd metal trunks it often saw in its forest. Their paws danced by giving it a view of the different pairs of paws, one pair were white, while the other pair where black.
They made strange noises like the two leg people made when they were happy as the ground began to shake. The poor thing was thrown around in the roots of the mushroom as the clearing shook and groaned before stopping with a heavy thump, throwing it to the ground with the two leggers.
The pair were making the happy noises again as they helped each other up off the ground and moved away from the mushroom.
It crept out from underneath the strange mushroom, seeing the two-leggers were by the opening to the clearing, making noises again.
'This place is unsafe' it thought 'I need to get out of here!'
The furry creature plucked up its courage and with a hopping sprint made its way to the opening, busting past the two-leggers who gave and ignoring their startled squeals of the female and the confused yell of the male. Anywhere was better than being in the strange shaking forest.
"Doctor, wasn't that a squirrel?" The girl asked, having calmed down from the initial shock or the rodent bolting past her.
He frowned "Nah, it couldn't have…Unless you forgot to close the doors to the TARDIS again…Rose?" He asked, giving her a pointed look.
"You were that last one out of the TARDIS." She noted, smiling at him.
He opened his mouth to speak, and then shut it.
"We should go catch him." She told him "Don't want him messing with the locals."
"Right, I doubt the people of this planet will enjoy rodents carrying nuts, after all they are all allergic." They smiled and ran after it.

It's terrible, I know it's better than the Prompt: Don't ask Jack given by a friend of mine, that would've gone in...weird directions...
