The Raggedy Doctor.
Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock.
He ran downstairs and opened the door to find Amelia waiting for him, impatiently jumping up and down and smiling more than usual. Her face was bright red and her eyes were sparkling, she was obviously very excited.
'Rory! You'll never guess what happened last night! I was praying to Santa when-
'You pray to Santa?'
'Shut up, stupid face, listen! I was praying to Santa when there was this MASSIVE CRASH and I looked out my window and there was a big blue box in my garden and it crushed my shed and this man came OUT OF IT and he said his name was the Doctor and he was soaking wet and that there was a swimming pool inside and that he fell in when he was in the library and then I made him loads of food and he spat it out and then he ate fish fingers and custard and I showed him the crack in my wall and, and then he said that there was a prisoner escaped and he would be back in 5 minutes and he got in the box which was a time machine and it disappeared!' she took a deep breath, her eyes wide with excitement.
Rory wasn't quite sure what to say, his head felt kind of fuzzy, 'um... What did he look like? Did he really break your shed? Can I see?'
'He looked all sort of, funny and he was really weird.' She was almost jumping up and down with excitement.
'Um, cool. Where is he now?'
Amelias face fell. 'He hasn't come back. Yet. But he will! He promised! He wasn't like normal people.'
'Is he pretend?' Rory asked, wondering if this was just another game Amelia had come up with.
She gave him a scowl and clenched her hands. He thought she was going to punch him. It wouldn't surprise him. She was always punching people. To Rory, she did something worse. She turned around, stormed off and didn't speak to him for 3 days. Every time he tried to talk to her she would walk away, Mels in tow. For some reason Mels believed Amelia the first time she told her. But then, Mels was crazy.
Girls are so weird, he thinks.
Three days later there was a knock on his door. He raced downstairs hoping it would be Amelia. It was. She smiled at him,
'Do you want to play Doctor with me?'
He grinned, 'Yeah, okay'
They sit in Amelia's kitchen. Well, Rory is sat down watching Amelia concoct something in a giant bowl. Finished, she places it in front of him; he looks into the bowl in disgust.
'Fish fingers and custard?'
'Yeah! I told you, that's what he eats. That's all he eats.' Seeing his face she pouts sweetly, 'Please, Rory, you said you would play Doctor with me.'
He sighs, knowing he can't resist that face, 'okay', he grudgingly agrees and begins to force down the most horrible invention in the universe. She smiles, bright red, he gulps, the sticky, cold mixture wanders down his throat.
