"Who are you?" A little girl sitting at her window called to a funny looking man who happened to walk through her back yard.
The man looked up to the window with a gleam in his eye that people only got when saying something they rather enjoyed saying. "My names the Doctor"
"You have a funny name" the little girl said "it suits you"
"Oi what do you mean by that"
"Well have you looked at yourself lately? You're wearing a bow-tie. My mummy once told my daddy that only stupid people wear bow ties"
"Well little girl I'll have you know bow ties are very cool. And for your information I am probably one of the smartest people you will ever meet so you can tell your mummy that bow-ties are for smart people"
Her face fell "I don't think she'd like me very much if I did that"
"And why not"
"She doesn't like me very much"
The Doctor's face fell instantly just like the little girl's in the window. Out of everything in the world that he didn't like, there was nothing he hated more than people mistreating innocent people, especially children. "Well" he asked hoping for a more positive response "What about your father"
"He doesn't like me much either, but that's okay" she said instantly trying to smile again "at least I have a teddy bear that loves me"
The Doctor didn't know what to say he was never exactly good with domestics he tended to just make it worse, so instead he changed the topic. "So little girl what's your name"
"I'm not little" She whined but when she realized the doctor didn't care what she thought she sighed and answered him "My name is Faith, Faith Wiara"
The Doctor couldn't help but laugh when he heard her name it was just too perfect. "Laughing is rude Mr.; you didn't see me laughing at your name"
"Laughing is not rude! In some cultures it is a sign of great admiration!"
"Well here laughing at people is rude!"
"Yeah well I'm not from around here"
"No duh Mr."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well it's obvious that you aren't from around here, since I would remember you if I had seen you before"
"Well maybe I just moved here"
"You couldn't have, there were no houses for sale"
The Doctor refused to be beaten especially by a little girl that couldn't be more than five years old. "How do you know maybe you just haven't seen it?"
"But I would have seen it cause I read the paper and they always put all the houses for sale in the paper" she said with a smirk on her face thinking she had won.
The Doctor was attempting to figure out a comeback when he realized something "wait you read the paper, how old are you?"
"Ha I won" Faith proclaimed and stuck out her tongue at the Doctor.
"What do you mean you won?"
"Our argument you changed the topic so I win by default. Ha!" again Faith stuck her tongue out at the Doctor.
"Fine you win, now answer my question" the Doctor pouted. He didn't like this very much, the little girl confused him. First, she talked to strange men outside her window, then she claims to read the paper, and finally she just out argued him. I mean come on, he is a nine hundred and some odd old time lord and he just got out argued by a little human girl.
"I'll answer yours if you answer mine" she said stubbornly crossing her arms.
"Fine what is your question?"
The gloating look left Faith's face when she asked "Why did you laugh at me?"
The Doctor felt horrible when he realized that the little girl had in fact been offended that he had laughed at her. The Doctor regretted saying it a little; after all, he didn't mean to make her sad. Stupid domestics. "I wasn't laughing at you" he explained "I was laughing at your name. In the polish language Wiara means Faith. Your name is literally Faith Faith"
Faith grinned slightly "Okay I guess that is a little funny. I guess that means I have to answer your question now don't I? I just turned six yesterday"
The Doctor didn't know earth children that well but six seemed a little young to be reading the newspaper. "Well happy birthday Faith"
A huge grin inched its way onto her face only to be ruined when a loud female voice from somewhere within the house yelled "FAITH!"
"Well I guess I better go" she sighed "I hope to see you again sometime Doctor" and with that she ran into her room and out of sight.
"Yeah" the Doctor muttered to himself since he knew she could no longer hear him "Maybe you will"
