Part Two
The Doctor slowly crept towards the shrubbery before lunging forward to grab what was hiding. "Aha!"
The Doctor was greeted with three screaming children, causing both him and Grace to scream as well. After a short moment, the fright died down and they all regained their footing.
"What are you kids doing here?" The three kids slowly got up.
"There was a thing..." Boy tried to find a proper word. "A..."
"We saw a flying saucer crash here in the woods." Chris wasn't going to wait.
"Well that saucer is incredibly dangerous. You three should leave." The Doctor had gotten people hurt in the past, some very badly; he wasn't going to repeat that mistake.
"Who are you?" The Doctor looked down to se Viola with a stern look about her. (A look she rarely ever presented)
"Pardon?"
"Who are you? Unless you're in charge of something, we don't have to listen to you." This girl was smart. Both she and the Doctor knew that.
"I'm the Doctor. And I'm in charge of a great many things." He hoped that that would be a sufficient response.
"What things?" It wasn't.
"Things that are neither of this world nor of this time." The Doctor looked towards where the saucer was. "And this thing is both."
"How do you know?" It was very hard to dodge a question with this girl.
"Because..." He decided to be honest. Besides, the he had a feeling that they would have a part to play in this. "I am a time travelling alien. My people are known as Time Lords."
"Is the saucer yours?" The Doctor was amazed by how she took that in stride. She was either very aloof, or she had seen things that made these facts seem casual.
"No, it seems to be of Dalek design."
"What's a Dalek?" He wished she hadn't asked that.
"Daleks are the most evil creatures in all of space and time." He ended it there. "Now who are you three?"
"I'm Viola." She pointed at Chris and Boy. "This is Chris and... well, I can't remember his name." Boy mumbled something in response.
"What?"
"Nothing," Boy sighed softly as they all continued onward. The three beings of shadow watching from a distance.
They finally arrived at the saucer, laying dead center in a small clearing and leaning against a dented tree.
"It landed much more smoothly than I expected." The Doctor ran his pen shaped device over the edges of the main hatch.
"So Doctor," Chris was sitting down against a tree, sketching the saucer. "What are you doing?"
"I'm seeing if I can open the hatch with my sonic screwdriver." He continued with no avail.
"Have you encountered a Dalek before?" The Doctor paused at Viola's question.
"Yes. Many times. And every time, I win." He got back to the hatch. "Whatever's inside, it must be incredibly old, at least a few thousand years." He changed a setting before scanning again. "It's made of Dalektanium..." He suddenly stopped. "And it has a Deadlock seal so this thing won't open it." He put the screwdriver back into his pocket and started to head back. "I'll have to go back to the TARDIS to get more equipment."
"The what?" Chris raised his head in confusion.
"The TARDIS. Time and Relative Dimension in Space." He headed off, with the others in tow.
They all arrived at the police box, the Doctor pulled out a key.
"What's that?" Chris had never seen anything like it.
"This is the TARDIS. And yes, it looks like a police box."
"Oh." Chris paused for a moment. "What's a police box?"
"Before cell phones were invented, the police would use these. They would have both a phone and usually a policeman on duty inside." He finished his history lesson as he unlocked the TARDIS. "Well, home sweet home."
"Wait!" Boy chimed up. "How can you live in that? It's too small." The Doctor just smiled and went inside with Grace in tow.
"Come on in," the three kids briefly looked at each other before accepting the Doctor's invitation and entered the TARDIS, the shadowy beings keeping close but hidden.
"Oh my God!" The three kids were absolutely shocked by what they saw.
