"Wake up! It's Christmas!" Sarah bounced up and down on her parent's bed. Rose stretched and The Doctor rubbed his eyes; their daughter continued to jump between them like a caffeine fueled squirrel, though in this case she could be described as a Christmas fueled 14 year old human/Time Lord.

"Alright alright we're up." Rose stretched again. But since he was now fully awake, The Doctor hopped up and began jumping as well, making Rose laugh. He bent down after a moment and began jokingly shaking her shoulder.

"C'mon Rose! We have to open presents and build snowmen and drink hot cocoa and then go to a planet where it snows rain and rains snow! Honestly, you should see it during monsoon season. Snow up to your eyes!" Rose gently pushed The Doctor's hand away and got out of bed. They all dashed away to the console room, hand in hand; the room was covered in shiny gold and silver tinsel, flashing lights, paper snowflakes, and- in place of a Christmas tree- the TARDIS console was wrapped in living fir boughs. Many presents, both badly and expertly wrapped, lay underneath it. "Sarah, you can go first." The Doctor pouted for a moment before a smile slid back onto his face.

"Alright let's see what we've got here..." There were seven gifts- three were labled in her father's curly writing while three more bore her mum's; the last one was small, not much bigger than a miniature jewelry box, and neatly wrapped in paper the same shade as the TARDIS. It was only labeled with a T. Sarah set it aside for later, so that she could open the ones from her parents first. From The Doctor she got her own sonic screwdriver (with a red light), a multicolored hand-knit scarf that was about 12 feet long, and a new pair of maroon All Star Converse. From her mother she received the 5th season of Sherlock, the Iphone 30, and a Merlin t-shirt. She gave both of them several huge hugs before turning to her final present. Tearing the wrapping off, she found a red box; she opened it gently, not sure what she would find. Inside was a small, silver sphere that shone like a star- light faintly shone off of it- and almost seemed to hum as the girl trailed a finger tip across the surface.

"What is it?" Too transfixed by the object's beauty to speak, Sarah simply lifted it up by a thin strand of cool metal that she had just noticed was attached to it; it was suppose to be worn. "Wait... but that's a TARDIS seed. Who did t he package say it was from?"

"It just said 'T'."

"Well, put it on! I'm sure that's what she wants you to do!" Rose didn't need to ask to tell that the gift was from the TARDIS herself. She only gave things for a reason. Sarah quickly slipped it over her head. It felt warm and let out four beats that, after a moment, synchronized to her own 2 hearts; it was her own little piece of the TARDIS.

"So we can always be together."

"Thank you." "Alright, time for you two to open your presents." They all smiled as the TARDIS hummed happily. This was going to be a good day.


"Run!" All 3 time travelers ran for their lives- with Sarah trailing her new scarf- from the natives of Picori 77 (where it rains snow and snows rain); how was The Doctor suppose to know that having two eyes and one nose (instead of five eyes and no nose) was a crime punishable by death?


Hi! Sorry I couldn't publish this little Christmas gem yesterday but I was stuck at my dad's house and he doesn't have a computer. So Merry Belated Christmas!
