So who else thought that episode was totally amazing?!
Of Doctors and Apples:
Amelia's POV:
The second he was gone I ran back inside, he was the most amazing man I'd ever met. I was going to leave this stupid little corner of Scotland. I was going to leave my moody old Aunt. I was maybe even going to leave Earth. I was going to leave this time anyway. I was going to become a Time Traveller. A Time Traveller with the Doctor.
Once I had gathered together all of the things that I need - well the things I thought I'd need, goodness only knew what I would actually need when travelling in time - I ran back outside, pulling my coat on on my way. Once I was there (there being beside the shed he destroyed) I put my suitcase on the ground and sat on it. And waited. And waited.
And...waited. But he didn't come. He never came back. He said he'd be back in 5 minutes, he said he wasn't people, he promised. I thought he was different. I thought he would keep the promise. I thought he'd be back. I thought wrong. But I wouldn't move, I wouldn't stop believing he would return. I stayed there all night, waiting for him. Waiting to feel that wind on my face as he return. Waiting to see his blue box appear again. Waiting for him.
By sunrise he still wasn't back and I still didn't want to move, but I had to. My aunt told me I couldn't stay there forever and why in the world did I have a suitcase packed. Then she didn't believe me when I told her. Why do grown-ups always do that? That asked you something and then they don't believe you when you tell them the truth. Grown-up are stupid, they don't believe, and they break promised. I never wanted to grow up. And I wanted the Doctor to return. I wanted my Doctor to come back and take me away to a different time. I needed him to come back.
'Amelia eat your apple' my aunt said, as I was too busy staring out of the window to take much notice of it. She followed my gaze and saw only the broken shed 'I haven't a clue what happened last night, but now I'm going to have to find the money to get that shed fixed' another reason I didn't want to grow up, grown-ups always moaned about money. Like that's really important. 'Amelia, eat' she repeated. 'You know what they say: an apple a day keeps the Doctor away.'
I gasped and stared at her in horror. An apple a day keeps the Doctor away? But I gave the Doctor an apple. I always ate apples. Was I causing him to being staying away? If I gave up apples would he come back? It sounded crazy. It was crazy, but he said 5 minutes. He said 5 minutes and he'd been hours and hours. Why wasn't he coming back?
