The TARDIS appeared at a shopping centre. The Doctor knew where to buy DVDS but he came to a shopping centre because it was likely to have a bookshop as well. He didn't exactly like this other universe much, because everyone looked at him like he was dressed in a chicken suit, and gave him a rather wide berth. It seemed like they were all the same-pole magnets, repelling each other without meaning too. But these people did mean too, the Doctor could tell by the glances they stole at him, but he ignored them, walking past unperturbed. He roamed the shopping centre until he came across an ATM. There was a line, so he waited. Trying to act like he was just another human, wishing to withdraw some money from their bank account…it didn't really work. Because he grew so impatient he hopped from foot to foot, and huffed at their slowness to work out how much money they would need for the week. Finally the lady in front of him, put away her purse, picked up her shopping bags and walked away. He walked right up close to the ATM, and quickly glanced around to see if anyone was watching him. As nonchalantly as possible, he got the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket and buzzed it at the screen. He quickly grabbed the money as it flew out and stuffed it, along with the sonic screwdriver, back into his pocket. Glancing around it seemed no one had witnessed this abnormal money withdrawal, and as casually as possible, he strode away. He wandered around the shopping centre, looking for a bookshop and failing to find one. Eventually he pulled the sonic screwdriver out of his pocket again, lifted it into the air and aimed it down the corridor. He didn't even notice the looks people started giving him now, just adjusted the screwdriver to the right setting and let it buzz and show him the way to a bookshop.
It seemed the sonic screwdriver didn't find bookshops, it found books, so the Doctor ended up following a group of teenagers holding Harry Potter books for around an hour, before he realised what had happened. He strode up and down the long corridors, sonic screwdriver buzzing and coat flapping around his ankles, while people jumped out of his way and squished against the shop windows in an effort to get away from him. He finally found a bookshop after what seemed to be his third loop of the shopping centre. He pocketed his sonic screwdriver, grinned and ignoring the perturbed people around him, strode into the shop. It took him a lot longer than expected to find the books themselves, but after asking a shop assistant, and being unwillingly directed to the right shelf, he found all six of them: Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident, The Eternity Code, The Opal Deception, The Lost Colony and The Time Paradox. He stacked them onto his hands and managed to carry them to the counter without dropping them. When he was told the price, he procured the rather large amount of money from his pocket – earning him a very bemused look from the shopkeeper. After paying for the books he declined the offer of a bag and simply put them into one of his coat pockets which were bigger on the inside. This made the shopkeeper's mouth actually fall open in surprise, and the Doctor got out of there hastily.
He wandered around the shopping centre again, looking for a DVD shop, and failing for an hour or two. Eventually he found one on the second floor which he hadn't known existed. It wasn't very busy. The only people in there were the shopkeeper, a teenage girl, and two middle age men. The Doctor sauntered in, looking important. Learning from experience, he didn't waste time looking for the DVDS, he simply strode up the shopkeeper at the counter, who looked at him anxiously and then her eyes darted to the exit to see if she could make it before this eccentric man said something. Well she didn't, she never got the chance to try because the Doctor started to speak to her.
"Excuse me; do you have all the DVDS of Doctor Who?"
The girl nodded, too stunned to speak. Luckily for the Doctor she had never actually watched Doctor Who or the Doctor might have had to sign an autograph or two.
She swallowed, then moved away from the counter and meandered her way through the rows of shelves of DVDS. They passed the teenage girl, who looked up as they passed. Her height almost rivalled the Doctor's himself – her being almost 6 foot tall. Unnoticed by the Doctor, her mouth fell open at the sight of him. The shopkeeper merely pointed at the DVDS, and then half ran back to the counter. The Doctor squatted down, and flicked through the DVDS – deciding to only get the ones with Rose and Martha. He smiled though as he looked at the old ones, with his past selves. He took the ones he wanted to the counter, and earned another strange look as he procured the money from his pocket. He slipped the DVDS into the same pocket as the books, and turned around. The teenage girl – wearing a dress which was an absolute disgrace to purple - was staring open-mouthed at him. She just stood there, then her hand went limp and the DVD she was holding crashed to the floor, it made a rather loud noise, which shook her out of her daze…that's when she squealed.
"OhMyGodIt'sActuallyTheDoctorICan'tBelieveThisOhMyGod!!!!!" She said so fast, the Doctor had trouble catching it. She walked towards him, and then stopped.
"You are the Doctor aren't you? Or are you David Tennant?" She said it slower this time, but it was still incredibly fast. The Doctor frowned, finally finding his voice.
"Who's David Tennant?" he asked. Unfortunately this wasn't the best idea, because the girl squealed again, and launched herself at him and gave him a hug. The Doctor raised his arms into the air, looked distastefully at the girl and then asked. "How do you know who I am?"
The girl ignored him and instead said, "I'm Sara! And you're the Doctor!!!!!! Oh My God!"
She finally let go of him and stared at him like he was some sort of god. "What are you doing in this shopping centre?" she asked. The Doctor ignored her, and now that she had let go of him, he decided that now was a good time to run. So he did. He ran out of the shop, almost bashed into a family, dodged around them and then looked behind him to see the girl –Sara- chasing after him despite her being in high heels, which were also a disgrace to purple. He ran in a loop around the shopping centre, people getting out of his way even quicker now he was running. That's when he remembered he was on the second floor, so he ran down the stairs. He finally found the TARDIS after about 20 minutes of running from Sara, and he shoved the key into the lock, rattling it round as Sara rounded the corner and sprinted towards him, he pulled himself in and just managed to shut and bolt the door as she bashed into it, but that didn't stop her.
"Doctor! Let me in! Please…please let me Doctor, please I want to see the TARDIS." The Doctor had no intention of ever seeing that girl ever again and as quickly as possible he made the TARDIS disappear and reappear at Fowl Manor supposedly only a minute after he left. He ran out of the TARDIS, and stood there panting – placing his hands on his knees. After turning around he noticed Artemis, Holly and Foaly who had been playing cards.
"What happened?!" asked Artemis, watching the Doctor's shocked expression.
Holly smirked,
"Fan girls."
Hopefully you guys aren't too attached to my sneak preview cause this chapter shall not have one, cause I'm tired (got back from Camp on friday) and I've been on all day but haven't actually read any yet so I shall now, because they are probably much better than mine
