Chapter Two
I stared at the Doctor in disbelief, there was no way he existed and yet here he was at my door. I didn't even realize that I allowed him inside my house, what in the world am I thinking, letting a stranger into my house?! He looked around my house for a few moments and then focused back on me, he asked again. "So, where is Caroline? She has something of mine and I'd like it back."
I snapped out of my trance and stared at him seriously, "She's not here." The Doctor frowned and replied, "Oh? When will she be back?" I shook my head and replied to him, getting annoyed by him. "She isn't coming back. She doesn't live here." The Doctor frowned again and said, "Oh then could I have her new address?" I internally slapped myself, and yelled at him while clenching my fists, "LOOK! Caroline Hayes is my GREAT Grandmother! She died years ago!"
The Doctor frowned and apologized quietly, "I-I'm sorry… Caroline, it appears that I returned too late." He was still sad when I walked towards him, I held out my hand towards him for a shake, "My name is Charlotte Hayes. Now answer me this, what is your name, because I really do not believe that "The Doctor" is just your name alone." The Doctor chuckled, "Just the Doctor. It's very nice to meet you Charlotte. Well since Caroline has passed on, I guess I shall be going. It doesn't look like you have what I am looking for."
I stared at him questionably, and asked, "What are you looking for?" He met my eyes and stated, "Well it's this thing called the Sonic Screwdriver, it has blue tip and when you press a button it can do all sorts of things." I clenched on the toy in my pocket, biting my lip and debating whether or not to show him it. This toy had to be it, and finally I pulled it out of my pocket. "You mean this?" The moment he saw the toy in my hand, his eyes sparkled and a huge grin came to his lips. "YES! My sonic screwdriver! She did give it to you! Well I'll be taking it now, thank you so much Charlotte."
Before he could reach it and snatch it from me, I pulled it close to me. I stared at him and asked, "How can I trust you? For all I know you could be a raving lunatic that read my Great Grandmother's journals… Besides, if you really are the 'Doctor'… Wouldn't you have a time machine of some sorts?" The Doctor's lips grew into a larger grin and he stated, "Well! I am the Doctor! Besides, I do have a time machine. It is in my ship the Tardis. Let me show you, in exchange you must return me my screwdriver."
I nodded, and picked up the shoebox with the screwdriver inside. I held it close as the Doctor led me outside. The moment my emerald eyes landed on the blue Police Box my jaw dropped. The Doctor stood by the doors, and pulled out a small key, unlocking it. He stepped aside to allow me to see the inside. I stepped inside quickly, and spun around in amazement of the beauty of this. I quickly ran outside and walked around the blue box.
I was truly baffled, this defied logic and I returned inside amazed by how huge the inside was. I muttered, "This is… illogical, unbelievable and yet… here I am standing in the middle of it all! My Great Grandmother's stories were true… Everything she used to tell me about you. I thought they were just stories but… they weren't." The Doctor stood by my side and smiled at me, "It truly is beautiful. Did you say that she used to tell stories about me?" I nodded unconsciously and returned to the shoebox, pulling out the sonic screwdriver.
