The two walked out onto a gray landscape, with a lone pond and a dead tree beside it. "This is my favorite place." Charlotte said. "He would take me here whenever he get the chance."
"Who?"
"I told you. I can't tell you. You either find out yourself or Charlie tells you." Charlotte sat down and hugged her knees close to her chest, "He would buy hot dogs from the cart over there." She pointed to the distance, "And seeds over there."
"Seeds?" The Doctor sat down next to her.
"To feed the duckies. I loved the duckies. If we were lucky, we'd see swans, too. I'd call them-"
"Princess duckies." Charlie said to her self, unaware to the little girl and the Doctor. "And that tree next to the pond was-"
"An oak tree. We would sit down in the shade and he'd read to me my two favorite stories, which were-"
"Peter Pan and Snow White." Charlie sighed.
"Enjoying yourself?" The blood-covered man walked right next to Charlie.
"Looking back on it now, it's all so different."
"That's because you're looking on this negatively, Chuckie." The blood-covered man sighed, "Maybe once you're done here, we can go visit your mother."
Charlie bit her lip, "Now is not the best time to bring up my mother. Besides, the Doctor never told anything about himself, why do I need to tell him my life story?"
"Because I think there is something important, very important, that he needs to know about you. Don't wait until it's too late, Chuckie." The man disappeared.
The Doctor turned to the little girl, "Are you scared of this man, Charlotte?"
"Why would I be scared of him? I told you he's really nice, like you."
"Oh, really? What was he really like?"
"Very smart. He was a busy man, but he managed to put everything aside for me. If I wanted to play, he'd play with me."
Charlie began to smile as a tear strolled down her eye. The gray landscape turned colorful, the tree bloomed with life as ducks came flying down and landed into the pond.
"Duckies!" Charlotte got up and leaned over the pond to see the ducks up close.
"Charlotte, be careful. You could fall in." The Doctor got up.
"'The seven dwarfs found Snow White asleep in one of their beds, wondering who was this pretty, little child was.'" The Doctor turned his head and saw the blood-covered man reading the book, Snow White, aloud under a tree. He looked up and gave the Doctor a wink.
"Are you the cause of all this?" The Doctor went up to the man.
The blood-covered man looked at the change of the scenery, "No." He shook his head. "I told you before, this Chuckie's mind, whatever goes on in her head goes. So, she's the one who caused this, not me. I wonder what she'll show you next." He chuckled.
"Come on, duckie." Charlotte held out her hand, trying to touch a duck. The little girl reached out too far, causing her to lose her footing and fall into the pond, followed by a scream.
"Charlotte!" The blood-covered man screamed as he got up. He ran as quick as he could and jumped into the pond.
The Doctor stopped at the foot of the pond, waiting for either the man or Charlotte.
Charlie snuck up behind the Doctor and pushed him into the water, "Sorry…" She bit her lip.
