4. Mr Frobisher goes to Washington

Mr Frobisher goes to Washington

For the Doctor being undercover was a hard thing to do. He remembered being the 11th incarnation, his childish nature and being unpredictable. The one person who he wanted to see was his daughter, Kayla, but he didn't know if she knew this version yet. Deciding that enough was enough, he knew that in 2013 his daughter would be in Washington DC. Where, he didn't know, but he need to see her precious face, and keep an eye on her.

"Now I can't call myself John Smith, but here's a new name that I could call myself." The Doctor mumbled as he talked to the console of the TARDIS. Creating new ID cards, like a driver's licence and passport, with the name John Frobisher. His cover story involved working under contract for the American Government under exchange of the British Government.

He found an apartment and hid the TARDIS in the closet. After a week on living a "normal" life, the Doctor was itching for adventure, slowly losing hope on ever finding his daughter. He had looked across the entire city and still hadn't found her.

He trudged up the stairs to the door of his apartment and began to unlock his door when he could hear the thump of a suitcase against the staircase and a female voice muttering, "How many more stairs could you have! I hate moving, it's so time consuming!" Out of the kindness of his hearts, he walked to the foot of the staircase and called out, "Would you like a hand?"

The woman lifted her head and smiled, "Yes please!" The Doctor covered the shock on his face as he grabbed the box out of the woman's hand. She had bouncing strawberry-blonde curls, bluey-green eyes and a smile that could easily melt chocolate. "Which apartment are we going to?" He asked.

"Apartment 311, thanks." She replied. He smiled, "So you're my new neighbour across the hall! John Frobisher." The Doctor held out a hand and his daughter shook it. "Fiona Mayard and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"No, the pleasure is all mine." He whispered as his Kayla unlocked the door into her apartment. This had worked better than he could have planned and he was glad that he could watch his little girl have a life, even if it meant she was hiding from his former incarnation.
