"So, what story tonight, Pippa?"
"What about one of your adventures Mummy?"
"I've told you all the stories I've got." Her mother complained. Pippa let out a disappointed sigh and put on the puppy dog eyes she'd quickly come to master in order to get her own way.
Finally, her mother sighed. "You never tire of hearing them do you?"
"Never." Pippa said, smiling.
"I've done lots of things. I've gone way back in the past and far in the future. I've seen nice aliens and scary aliens and aliens who make you one of them if you're not careful."
Pippa laughed. "Why don't I ever get to have adventures like the ones you've had?"
"When you're older you will, I'm sure." Her mother began to laugh. "There's no way I'll be able to stop you is there? Even if I wanted to."
"Not a chance." Pippa said, a stubborn yet playful smile on her face. "Now, are you going to tell me a story Mummy?"
We got out of the TARDIS on a different planet. Everything was beautiful. He called it paradise, and it sort of was. There were green skies with purple clouds and there was yellow water running down a waterfall and blue grass. But it didn't seem to be inhabited. That was until we ran into a group of people who had pale orange skin and three eyes. They captured us and took us somewhere else, locking us in this little prison cell.
There were other, different people in there with us. These people were a funny shade of yellow, sort of like custard and they had an extra arm. It turned out that where we'd landed was Paradise and the people in the cell were the Paradisians. Paradise's rightful inhabitants. The people who had captured us were a rival tribe who thought that Paradise was their rightful land.
So, The Doctor agreed to help the Paradisians and when the rival tribe came back, he told them, he said, you can leave peacefully or I can force you. They laughed at him, saying he had no weapons and so it wouldn't have been a fair fight. But then, he pulled his trusty screwdriver from his pocket, and my word you should have seen them! Their mouths dropped wide open and their eyes went wide.
They started getting feisty then, and when they left, the Doctor soniced the lock on the cell and released the Paradsians, meanwhile he and I went after the rival tribe. We fought with them and eventually, they gave in, saying they'd leave. And they did and the peace was restored in Paradise.
"The Doctor saved the day." Pippa said quietly as she drifted off.
"He always does," said her mother with a smile as she paused in the doorway to look at her sleeping daughter.
