Dalek's Day at the Beach
"WOULD THE DOC-TOR PLEASE COME TO THE LIFE-GUARD STATION", the voice on the over head communications systems bellowed across the packed summer afternoon beach, "WE HAVE YO-UR COM-PANION, AND SHE WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T COME IMMEDIATELY".
Families just looked back and forth at each other. Children stopped playing on the sand in the sea, and surfers missed the waves of a lifetime. That voice was not right. They had all heard it before. Never before had a beach been so silent. And then, panic ensued.
They ran back and forth, gathering all of their belongings. Sand was mixed in with beach towels and bathers. It was just utter chaos, but the British public didn't know what else to do. They could queue, confuse foreigners, complain about everything under the sun, and burn just about anywhere. They were used to the rain, the wind, not snow funnily enough, and hail. But the sound of Dalek's voice booming over them was just utterly terrifying.
Nicolas Briggs high fived the lifeguards as they watched panic wave across everyone's face. You could only get away with this in Britain, in the height of summer, when it just didn't happen to rain. For once...
AN: Just a quick little something I thought up. Next one was inspired by my little sister. Every time we go to the hospital, which just happens to be the place they shot some of 'Smith and Jones' in, she cowers behind me, waiting for a Judoon to pop out from around the corner. Also inspired by my dad's account by what happened when he bumped into one as they filmed all the stair scenes in the university next door. Just so happens, that the university has some really awesome stairs, and the crew found them.
