Beautiful


Oh, it was beautiful. The Doctor had taken me on a surprise trip to Kranch, a small planet known for its color. I didn't think much of it at first, but when the Doctor opened up the TARDIS doors, I gasped. It was beautiful. Tall bright green grass waved in front of me. Above, giant feathered birds soared. They were pink and purple, blue and yellow, and every other color that there could possible be. As we walked through the grass, tiny magenta mice scurried across our path. The Doctor led me past sight after sight, each one more brilliant and vibrant than the next. I was immersed in a world of beauty, a welcome change from my past month. I could stay here forever. I really could. Just as I'd decided that this was the place for me, the Doctor pulled open a tree. My jaw dropped.

"Doctor! Doctor! What are you doing? You're hurting it!" I yelled out, horrified. He simply shushed me and then reached inside the tree. I grimaced. When he pulled his hands out, they were covered in a neon yellow slime. I walked over and peered over the Doctor's shoulder. In his hands was, well, a Something. The Something was fluffy. Very fluffy. It began to shake violently. I stepped back, alarmed. Poof! The fuzzy fluff fluffed out to be roughly the size of a basketball. The Doctor turned and looked at me expectantly. I reached forward and touched it. The Something was softer than anything I'd ever felt before. It purred at my touch and then jumped off his hand and scurried into the underbrush.

"What was that?" I whispered as a smile of delight crept onto my face.

"A Something."

I looked up quickly. "Really?" Could I really have guessed the name?

The Doctor laughed. "No, it's called a Fluffling."

I leapt up at smacked the back of his head. This led to an all out came of Tag that covered most of the small planet. It was a welcome change to my strange week.
