Christmas Eve Party
by Susan M. M
Doctor Who
The TARDIS door opened. The Doctor, Kazran, and Abigail tumbled out. The TARDIS was nestled in the oleander bushes of the backyard of a Hollywood mansion.
Charlie Chaplin was drinking champagne with Douglas Fairbanks. Rudolph Valentino was laughing with Gloria Swanson.
Kazran grinned. "Party!"
Abigail looked around, wide-eyed.
Suddenly the Doctor saw someone by the pool: a short, dark-haired man wearing a pork pie hat. Ace McShane rolled her eyes as he flirted with Mary Pickford.
"Back in the TARDIS," the Doctor ordered.
"What's wrong?" Abigail asked.
"We can't go to this party."
Kazran pouted. "Why not?"
"I'm already here."
