When The Doctor came - this is loosely based off of a dream I had about the Doctor. It wasnt really accurate on the doctor I was dreaming about, but hopefully you will still accept and I hope you like:
I remember the day so clearly...as if it happened yesterday. It was the most memorable time I had ever had in my life time...it happened so quick, and so fast...I didnt know what I had till it was gone...To this day, I still search the skies for him...it was the day when The Doctor came...
It was a rainy day when he first came to my house. I opened the door and found him standing there on the steps. Lighting flashed behind him, and he was soaked to the bone, but he didnt seem to mind as he smiled warmly down to me.
"Hello, do you mind if I come in?" he asked in a British accent. I stared up at the person I didnt know. He wore a black shirt under a black coat and dark colored jeans. The only cheery thing that seemed to fit with his smile, was the yellow scarf around his neck.
I smiled back and allowed him to come in. He thanked me as he looked around my house before sitting down in one of the cream colored couches in the living room. I looked outside and noticed a strange blue box that I knew wasn't there before. It sat there in the middle of my overly watered green lawn. I turned my head back to the strange man.
"What's a blue box doing on the front lawn? Is it yours?" I asked him. He turned his head to me and grinned. "Why yes, it is," he answered in a cheery voice.
I stared at him, then back at the strange blue box. "Why is it there?" I asked him. The man continued to smile as he stared at me, as if I amused him. "That's how I got here. It's my time machine. It brought me here, but it broke down along the way," he said, still in the same cheery voice. I felt my heart stop when I whipped my head back to him. "Time machine?" I asked in surprise. He nodded. "Yes." Then he got up and approached me.
"We havent been properly introduced. I'm The Doctor," he said as he lifted his right hand up for me to shake. I shook his hand. "Doctor?" I asked him. The man nodded his head, "yes," he said. I stared at him confusingly. "Just, 'The Doctor'?" I asked him again. The Doctor continued to smile and nodded his head. "Yes. Just, 'The Doctor,'" he answered. I stared up at him blankly. I was really confused.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him. His expression changed and he moved away from me. "Oh! right! I had almost forgotten!" he said as he began to move about in my living room. He pulled out a strange devise that looked like a thick, futuristic pen and began to use it to scan the room.
It made a strange buzzing noise as he went around the couches, chairs, and the coffee table; scanning everything with the end of the blue lit tip. I stared at him. I began to regret letting a crazy man into my house. I was starting to make up my mind to politely leave my house and go with his "time machine"
Suddenly, he stopped scanning the pictures on the fireplace and turned to me. I stiffened and stared up at him. "What?" I asked. The Doctor stared at me, then looked down at the ground and shook his head. "I truthfully dont know...why would the TARDIS bring me here...?" he muttered in a low voice as he turned away from me. I blinked.
"TARDIS?" I asked him. The Doctor nodded. "Time And Relative Dimension In Space," he answered. I nodded my head slowly. "Ah," I said, but I still didnt undertand. The Doctor turned back to me and stared at my face for a minute.
"Have you seen any strange things happen here? Any strange creatures or any huge eyeballs or robots, or unexplainable freaky phenomenons?" he asked me. I shook my head. "No...why?" I asked him. The Doctor fingered the strange futuristic pen. "Well...that's why I'm here...but I guess my TARDIS got confused again and took me to the wrong place..." he explained, but he still seemed to doubt the words he said.
After a couple seconds of silence, the Doctor looked back to me and smiled another warm smile. "I guess I best be off. It was nice meeting you, miss, good day," he said as he shook my hand again and began to make his way to the front door. Suddenly, a loud boom was heard outside, and the raindrops were coming down hard outside.
I instantly felt guilty and followed after him. I didnt want him to sit inside his blue box in the rain. "Doctor, wait," I called after him. He stopped at the threshhold. His hand was on the doorknob. The door was open and the rain was coming in. He looked down at me. I stopped and rubbed the side of my arm.
"Erm...since you are here, would you like to stay for a while?" I offered. The Doctor blinked. "Stay?" he asked me. I nodded. "I would hate to see you out in that terrible storm, and I would feel very guilty for not letting you stay till it has lifted," I admitted.
The Doctor continued to stare down at me. He seemed confused, but hesitated on the kind offer. "I have dinner in the oven. It wont be a problem," I offered. The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" he asked. "Macaroni and cheese," I told him. The Doctor's mouth formed into the warm, friendly smile again. "You talked me into it. I'll stay," he said. With that, he closed the door and walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.
I grabbed an extra plate from the cabinet and poured a scoop of macoroni and cheese onto it and placed it down in front of The Doctor. The Doctor grinned up at me like a happy child and grabbed the fork. I prepared myself a plate and sat down across from him. I watched as he ate hungrily as if he hadn't had a decent meal in weeks. I picked up my fork and took a bite of macoroni and chewed thoughtfully.
"So, could you tell me more about yourself?" I asked after I swallowed. The Doctor swallowed a mouthful of cheesy noodles before looking up at me. "I guess I could. I mean, you might as well know why I arrived on your front doorstep in the first place," He said. I nodded.
"Do you think whatever it is that you came for, will eventaully arrive at my house sooner or later?" I asked. The Doctor smiled. "Hopefully; but in the meantime, I enjoy sitting here and talking to you," he said and shovelled another scoop of macoroni and cheese into his mouth. I felt my face get warm for a minute and I smiled.
"I'm happy to finally have someone to talk to," I admitted. The Doctor's smile faded. "You live alone?" He asked me. I nodded my head. The Doctor moved his head back a bit in surprise. "No family? No friends? Nothing?" he asked me. I shook my head. "My family died a long time ago...and I had no friends growing up...I was alone in the world..." I admitted. I lowered my head and felt tears coming to my eyes.
Suddenly, I felt The Doctor's hand rest on top of mine. I looked up through my tears and noticed him staring at me with his sweet, kind smile. "You are never alone...and you will never be..." he answered. I stared at him, then looked away. I moved my hand away from his and quickly wiped my eyes with the back of my sleeve.
"Let's finish our dinner," I said, changing the subject. The Doctor nodded and we both silently ate our dinner while the rain drummed against the top of my roof.
...
Later on, we walked into the living room and sat down on the couches. We started up a conversation and talked for hours. He told me about his adventures and told funny jokes that made me laugh. He laughed with me and smiled at me, enjoying his time. I was enjoying myself too. It has been a while since I laughed.
He asked me about what I did when I was with my parents. I told him a couple stories about us going camping out in the forests and looking up at the stars. The Doctor ran his fingers along the yellow scarf he wore as he listened to one of my stories. He didnt interrupt and seemed really intrigued.
Right in the middle of one of his amazing stories when he was in the late 1800s in London England, he stopped talking. I listened. Nothing. The Doctor looked out the window. He stared outside with an unreadable expression on his face. "What is it?" I asked as I came up next to him and looked out the window.
It had stopped raining.
Outside was wet and the roads were covered with puddles. Raindrops dripped repeatedly from the emerald green leaves of the trees and bushes. Small fragments of rainbows flickered from the water when the shafts of sunlight came out from the heavy, dark clouds above.
I felt my heart sink when The Doctor turned to me with a sad smile on his face. "Well, I best be off," he said. I lowered my head. "All right," I muttered as I turned around and led him to the front door. I opened the door for him and watched him walk past me to outside. He turned back to me just as he stepped over the threshold.
"I really enjoyed meeting you. It was fun," he said. I nodded my head. It was quiet for a minute. Finally, The Doctor reached his hand out and gently grabbed mine. I looked down at his hand, then up his arm to his face. He cocked his head and smiled cheerfully. "I'll come back again soon. I promise," he said. My spirits raised a bit in hope that he would keep his promise.
"Goodbye, Doctor. I hope to see you again very soon," I said. The Doctor's smile turned into a childish grin. He squeezed my hand. "Good!" he said in his happy-go-lucky attitude. I smiled back and watched as his hand left mine and he jumped down the steps and skipped merrily to his TARDIS.
He unlocked the door and took one step inside. He piveted around and waved one last goodbye to me. I waved back. "Don't forget!" I called to him. He continued to wave. "I wont! I promise!" he called back. With that, he stepped into the blue box.
I stared at the box. I couldnt figure out how he was going to leave. I was about to walk up to it, but froze in alarm when a strange, repeated gutted sound came out from the TARDIS. My mouth dropped open as I watched in shock. The blue box began to disappear right before my eyes! I finally got my legs to move from their spot and came briskly walking up to where the box was beginning to disappear.
Gradually, the box left. The strange gutted sound began to grow soft and faded away. I stared at the place where the TARDIS once sat, and reached out. My hand felt air. It was gone...The TARDIS was gone...along with The Doctor. I felt my heart beginning to hurt as I instantly longed for his return.
I looked around the neighborhood where I stood. Nothing. Just then, I felt a raindrop lightly hit the top of my nose. I looked up, just as a light drizzle began to come down on me. It had started to rain again. I sighed sadly and decided to head back inside...
...
The next morning, I woke up to the sounds of chirping birds. I blinked my eyes open and sat upright. My eyes looked out the window. I tried looking for the blue box. Nothing. I sighed and decided to get up and make breakfast. I made my way out of my messy room, down the hallway and to the kitchen. Right when I turned the light on, my eyes widened and I nearly had a heart attack.
"Where do you keep the spoons? I cant seem to find them in any of the drawers," said The Doctor as he turned himself around to me. He held a bowl of cereal in his hands. I stood there. My eyes wide in shock. The Doctor came back. "Doctor," I fianlly said. "Yes?" he asked. My mouth was hanging open. I slowly approached him.
"Y-you...you're back!" I said. The Doctor grinned at my surprised look on my face. "Yes. I promised didnt I? Now, where are the spoons? I know you have spoons...Unless you have a fear of spoons, which I wouldn't care less, and I could use one of your other handy utensils.." he talked on as he searched through the kitchen drawers again. I snapped out of my state of shock and walked over to the drawer where I kept the spoons. The Doctor's eyes lit up to the sight of the spoon in my hand as I gave it to him.
"Thank you my dear," he said politely and sat down to eat his cereal. I sat down at the table across from him and watched him eat hungrily. "This cereal is fantastic!" He said excitedly and kept shovelling more spoonfuls of cereal into his mouth. I didnt say anything as I continued to stare at him.
He didnt seem to notice as he licked the white bowl clean. He grabbed a napkin from the silver napkin holder and wiped his shaven face and smiled, revealing his nice alabaster white teeth. He got up with the bowl and walked over to the sink to set it down, I followed him. Right when he placed the bowl and spoon into the sink and turned back around. He took my hand in a friendly manner and we both walked over to the living room.
"Are you going to check to see if the strange thing has come?" I asked him. The Doctor nodded and pulled out his strange pen, which he told me his sonic screwdriver. He led me over to the couch and made me sit down while he went over to the fireplace to scan it. Then he went into a different room and scanned everything in there.
"Find anything?" I called to him. The Doctor's head appeared in the doorway. He shook his head. "Nothing. The TARDIS had to have sent me too early into this certain time...but why? I still dont seem to understand..." his voice trailed off as he disappeared back into the room and continued scanning. I sighed and leaned back into the pillows on the cream colored couch.
A couple minutes later, he came back and sat down on the couch next to me. He sighed frustration and ran his fingers through his dark brown hair. He gradually relaxed his fingers and let them rest on his lap. I stared up at him before placing a hand onto his left hand. He turned his head to me.
I smiled a small smile. "It will make sense soon...dont worry. It will come," I said. The Doctor gazed at me for a long time. Then, a pleased smile came across his face. My smile widened. He had a great smile that could light up anyone's day. "You are quite right," he said. I nodded.
With that, The Doctor took my hand and squeezed it. "In the meantime, I was hoping if we could talk some more. I really do enjoy listening to your stories about your travels and vacations with your family...it's so nice to just take a break, relax, and just listen to someone's life story and really understand that interesting person more," he said. I laughed and felt my face burn a bit. "I'm not interesting. I'm surprised you havent fallen asleep to any of the stories I actually find myself boring," I admitted to him.
The Doctor calmly shook his head. "Oh no...I dont find any of your stories boring..I think anyone who has a story to tell is interesting. Doesnt matter if you are someone who goes to work everyday and sits in a tightly compacted office, or just someone who goes down the street to buy milk. I find them all very interesting...There is not one person who I have encountered in my travels to be even remotely boring. I find each and every single individual, unique, intriguing, and even inspiring. No one in any part of the universe, past, present, or even future, is boring," he told me.
I felt my smile fade as I stared deep into his eyes. He stared back. The seriousness in his voice surprised me. Even his eyes told me that he was telling the truth. He really meant it. I blinked, breaking the gaze, and began telling him a couple stories about my past...
...
The weeks went by fast. The Doctor began to visit me everyday at around eight in the morning, and stay till six. I would wave goodbye to him and watch him leave in his TARDIS and watch it fade away till it was gone.
Everyday I awaited the sound of the TARDIS, or even would go outside to watch it appear out of thin air or come flying down from the cloudy dark sky. It was the most amazing thing to watch. The Doctor would come out from his blue box, wearing the same thing he wore the first time I met him, and smile one of his amazing smiles at me. I would come jogging excitedly up to him, wrap my arms around him, and hug him tightly. I really enjoyed his visits. Each and every one of them was very special, and entertaining to me.
One day, we were sitting in my living room and I was listening to him talk about one of his travels in Rome, when he noticed me staring at his scarf. I blinked and realized what I was doing and looked away. "Sorry...I just cant help but notice that scarf... I see you wearing all the time...Why do you wear it?" I asked him. The Doctor looked down at the yellow scarf around his neck. He shrugged and looked back up at me.
"I dunno. It's a really nice shade of banana yellow, and it keeps my neck warm...I guess I feel more protected and comfortable with it," he said. I smiled. "I think it looks great on you," I admitted. The Doctor gave me a sweet, charming smile. With that, he began to slowly unravel the scarf from his neck and started to wrap it around me. "No...I..." my voice faltered. The Doctor ignored me and grinned playfully as he gently wrapped the yellow scarf around my neck, then let his fingers trail down the ends and to my hands where they rested in my lap.
"There...now you look great with it," he said and laughed softly. I blushed and looked down at The Doctor's scarf wrapped around my neck. It was really soft, and warm from when he wore it. I could smell the faint aroma of mixed smells that was The Doctor's scent. I smiled again and lifted my hands up to unravel the scarf from me. The Doctor placed his hands on mine, stopping me. I blinked in surprise from his gesture, but continued to unravel the scarf from me.
"No...I couldnt take this," I told him. The Doctor didnt say anything as he insisted for me to keep it. I shook my head and wrapped it back around him. "It's yours," I told him, even though deep down, I wanted the scarf, because it was something that reminded me of him. The Doctor continued to not say anything, but simply smiled his amazing smile at me. His smile instantly warming me up from the inside out...
...
The next day, a horrible feeling came over me. It was already past nine, and The Doctor still didnt appear. I began to search the house. Nothing. He wasnt seen in any of the rooms. He wasnt seen scanning the fireplace. He wasnt in the kitchen preparing himself a meal. Even his TARDIS wasnt seen on the front lawn. My stomach twisted anxiously as I continued to search for him. The old grandfather clock chimed ten a.m. in the corner...
He didnt come...
I could feel my throat tighten up and the tears fill up in my eyes as I searched through the rooms again...still no Doctor. I finally made my way back to the living room where we last talked and sat down at the couch where I usually sat. I lightly ran my fingers over the spot where he usually sat next to me. Tears spilled down my face.
How could he break his promise? He said he would come...
I placed my hands over my eyes and began to cry. I never liked crying, but I couldnt stop the tears from coming. I angrily wiped the tears away and blinked the forming ones back down. I wanted The Doctor...
Suddenly, my wet eyes flickered over to the coffee table in front of me. On top of it, was the yellow scarf...the scarf he offered to me from yesterday...I felt my heart skip a beat as I reached out for it. I gently lifted it up from the coffee table and watched as it unfurled and straightened out in front of me, then I gently lowered it down into my lap. My heart seemed to have been crushed by an invisible force as I stared down at the yellow banana scarf.
I lifted one of the ends to my face and rubbed it against my cheek. I could smell The Doctor's scent and could visually see him in my closed eyes. Tears ran down my face. Why did he have to leave without saying goodbye? It hurt me so much.
Suddenly, I heard a strange repeating gutted noise. The TARDIS! I opened my eyes and instantly got up. I wrapped the scarf around my neck, as I ran through my house to the front door. I unlocked the door and threw it open and ran out onto my front step and searched my front lawn. Nothing. No TARDIS.
I hastily searched the huge, dark cloud infested skies. My breathing quickened as the cold winds rustled my hair and the yellow scarf around my neck. "Doctor! Dooocttoor!" I cried out. No answer. "Dooooocctooorr! I cried out again. My throat was beginning to tighen up again and I felt all my hopes being crushed again.
He was gone...He left...without saying goodbye...
I felt my legs shake and tremble, but I kept myself from falling. I stared up at the huge cloud formations in the grey sky as I searched for any shred of a dark blue box flying in the sky. I sighed as I slowly lowered my head and salty tears roll down my face. He wasnt coming back...I began to turn back and head into my house.
Just then, the icy, cold winds began to pick up. I rubbed my shoulders as I turned back around to face the front yard. The huge dark clouds began to shift and change. Lighting erupted through the thick, fluffy, grey clouds and thunder boomed loudly. Leaves blew past me as I began to walk down the steps and onto my lawn and stare up at the strange forming clouds. Lighting flashed inside them and thunder boomed.
Suddenly, I could make out a shape. It looked like a huge frisbee...with flashing lights. My eyes widened in horror and I took a step back as the shape began to take shape and became familiar to me. It was a UFO mother ship. I took more step backs as The purple lighting zapped and crackled around the UFO as it hovered hundreds of feet above me. It hummed and pulsed with energy and glowed beautifully with blue and purple lights.
Suddenly, smaller opjects began to fly out from the huge ship and began to come right to me. I watched in fear, but in awe at the same time. The objects gradually slowed down and appeared along the street that ran across in front of my house.
They lined up in a single file along the asfault and floated there a couple inches from it. They were the same height as me, and had bright lights all over them. They were metallic, and were triangle shaped. I stared at them curiously, but was too afraid to come near them.
Rain sprinkled down from above and thunder boomed from far away. The strange, metal triangles hovered before me. I stood there. Not sure what to do. Suddenly, they all began to hum softly. The lights began to glow brighter, and brighter. I winced and placed my hand over my eyes from the light. The alien triangles continued to glow brighter and brighter, till I had to close my eyes from becoming blind-
And that's when I woke up from the dream :P Yeah, kinda sucks when your dreams are limited and they always stop at the most suspenseful moments. The good news is, is that I can give my story an ending. So now, I'm going to see if anyone who reads this fanfic would like an ending to this story I had as a dream, but worked some things around so it would sound better and not be as confusing. So, I hope you enjoyed, and please review and tell me if you would like me to give this story an ending. Thank you and have a nice day :)
