Chapter Two

The Doctor looked up at the six red balloons Jackie had bought him and the balloons twirled around on the long strings. He smiled as they walked along and he pulled on the strings.

"Careful, Sweetie, you don't want to lose them!" said Jackie.

"Ok, Mummy, I be caweful!" said the Doctor.

Rose led the way as they walked along and the Doctor pulled on the strings. Suddenly, the strings came lose as the balloons flew into the air and his eyes went wide.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" shouted the Doctor as they stopped and watched the balloons drifting away.

"I told you to be careful," said Jackie when he ran after the balloons and Rose sighed.

"Doctor!" shouted Rose as they followed and the Doctor ran faster. They followed him when he jumped and caught one of the strings and pulled it down.

"Got ya!" shouted the Doctor then saw the other one and ran. He jumped up when he caught the string and smiled. "That's two!"

The other balloons were going higher and higher as he tried to grab them but couldn't and frowned. He stood looking at the ground when they came closer and he sniffed.

"Bawwoons went bye-bye," sniffed the Doctor and Jackie touched his hair.

"I know, Sweetie," said Jackie as she placed an arm around his waist and they walked down the street. He sighed then let go of the other balloons and the balloons drift into the air.


They walked passed the shops as Jackie held onto the Doctor's hand and he looked at the things in the windows.

"Mummy, can I have that!?" asked the Doctor as he pointed to the helmet in the window and Jackie shook her head.

"No, it'll mess your hair," said Jackie as he smirked and they walked onward.

Rose was getting angry as he asked for everything they saw and she turned around.

"Look, we are NOT buying anything! Got it?!" said Rose when the Doctor's lower lip quivered and tears filled his eyes.

"Meanie!" shouted the Doctor crossing his arms across his chest.

"Brat!" shouted Rose.

"Oi, that is enough out of both of you!" shouted Jackie and they looked down.

"Sorry, Mum," said Rose.

"Sowwy, Mummy," said the Doctor.

They kept walking as Jackie looked at him and he sniffed.

"Sweetie, you can't have everything you want. Where would you put it!?" asked Jackie as she stroked his hair and the Doctor shrugged.

The aliens passed them when the Doctor saw a toy spaceship in a window and the lights flickered on and off. He watched the lights as Rose and Jackie went around the corner and he placed his hands on the store front window.

"Oooooooooooooooooo! I no have that! Wose! Mummy! I want that!" said the Doctor when he turned around and blinked. "Wose!? Mummy!? Whewe awe you!?"
