Just cant quite believe it

Chapter 2

Little Orphan

By Rosie Jade

"As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves." – First Doctor (Old Doctor Who)

Maya was not sure what made her feel was so different about today than other days. But when she had woken up this morning, she had felt more happy and refreshed than she had in 3 years.

Getting out of bed in the morning was easier than it had ever been. And instead of staying in her same drab pajamas all day, Maya actually put some though into her appearance.

Jumping out of bed, she quickly ran to take her first showing in what was almost to long. Scrubbing herself cleaner than she usually did, Maya stepped out of the shower and into her closet more optimistic about herself than usual.

Pawing through her rather sad amount of clothes, she picked out a rather colorful, happier outfit than what she was use to wearing.

Pulling on her jeans and light blue top, she felt that after her breakfast and morning episode of Doctor Who that she was going to go out and enjoy the world for once.

Maya was tired of letting the sadness she felt with not having anyone to love her drag her into a dark depression. She told herself that to earn love, she needed to throw herself out into the big, wide world. She would need to take risks if she wanted to finally obtain her dream of real people who would love her.

So walking out of her bedroom she walked into the kitchen to turn her television on and make herself a pot of tea. Setting the kettle on the stove top to boil, she sat down on her bar stool and started up the episode.

She decided today that she would start re-watching the show for the very beginning, going all the way back to the First Doctors first episode 'An Unearthly Child'.

Turning around when her kettle started to whistle, Maya didn't notice when her television started to admit and unearthly gold mist. Which poured out of the TV screen and swallowed Maya whole before she even knew what was happening.
