Chapter 12: "Paranoia"

"Good Morning, Katherine Poppy! Today's a great day!" The Doctor said pushing open her bedroom door as soon as the sun peaked over the horizon.

Poppy moaned, and hid her head under her pillows. "It's not morning."

"Come on Katherine Poppy, up and at 'em!" He said excitedly.

"Nooooo." she groaned.

"Come on." He said, pulling of her covers from the foot of her bed.

"Nooooo!"

"Alrighty. Come on." He said lifting her out of the bed.

"Let me sleep!" She moaned.

"Katherine Poppy!" The Doctor said aghast.

"What..."

The Doctor dropped her back onto her bed, causing Poppy to help in fear.

"What did I ever do to you?" She moaned.

"Come on, let's go." The Doctor exclaimed.

"Alright, alright." She said, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "Just get out of here so I can get dressed."

"So what's so exciting about today?" Poppy asked, walking hand in hand with her favorite Doctor around the busy morning streets of Hampshire.

"The fact that we're here." He said like he had just discovered something magical.

"And why is that so wonderful?" Poppy asked while subconsciously adjusting her fez.

"Katherine Poppy don't you realize how lucky we are? The United States has just declared war on Britain and I realized, so many people die in that war. We never know when we won't have another day." He explained. "So let's live all our days to the fullest!" He exclaimed, running through the crowds, and dragging Poppy behind.

"Wait." The Doctor said stopping. "Did you hear that?"

"No." Poppy said raising an eyebrow. "Did I hear what?"

"Sounded like a... Never mind." He said shaking his head.

"Sounded like a what?" Poppy asked.

"Cyberman..."

"What's a cyberman? Is that some sort of alien?" Poppy asked, worry spreading across her face.

"Well sorta. They're cyborgs. Part cyber part man, no, part robot part man. They removed all their emotions, and they aim to convert all the humans to cybermen, or delete those who stand in their way." The Doctor explained, taking out his sonic screwdriver.

"Like human daleks?" Poppy asked.

"Yes, exactly." The Doctor said. "Wait. How do you know about the Daleks?"

"You told me about them." Poppy said quickly.

"I suppose." The Doctor said scanning the area for the cybermen.

"Doctor, you're just paranoid, come on." Poppy insisted.

The Doctor sighed. "Okay Katherine Poppy."

"Thank you." She smiled.

They walked for a while, until the Doctor stopped again.

"Are you sure you didn't hear it that time?"

A/N: Heh heh heh...
