"No way…" Wednesday muttered under her breath.
"Mother, what's that noise?" Sunday questions her mother after hearing the whirring sound.
"Come here, Sunday. I'm not leaving you here alone and I need you to come with me to check out the Police Box in the backyard." Wednesday answered her six year old daughter.
"I'm coming, mother." Sunday responded to her mother, Wednesday. As Wednesday had always called her parents mother and father, Sunday had learned to do the same. Once Sunday got downstairs, she and her mother each put their coat and shoes on. They headed out back to find the man called the Doctor smiling at them. Wednesday and Sunday each stared at him with a blank, expressionless look on their faces.
"Well, someone doesn't look very happy." The Doctor said to the two girls.
"You came into our backyard, onto our property. What do you want?" Wednesday questioned the tall man.
"I need your help. There are these creatures called Memminnians. They are winged, reptilian creatures. They have red skin and are about 6 feet tall, which is as tall as I am. They have extremely long, sharp claws that are pure diamond. They're ruthless killers and aren't afraid to completely devour any living creature. What's worse? They're here in your town." The Doctor said.
"Mother, he's scaring me." Sunday said with a slightly shaky voice. "Who is this man?"
"I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said with a smile on his face. He adjusted his leather jacket and put out his hand. "Come with me, into the Police Box. She's a time machine called the TARDIS. I will warn you though, Wednesday, Sunday, you may be surprised by what you see." He continued.
"I've already seen the inside of your goofy time machine. Why are you choosing us to help defend the town? What are we supposed to do? Sunday is only six years old! Besides, what makes you think I can trust a random man who appears in my backyard?" Wednesday demands of him.
"What makes you think I should trust a random woman who walked into my space ship time machine thing!?" The Doctor retorted.
"How does he know our names, Mother?" Sunday questioned.
"They must've come up in conversation earlier. I'm sorry. It must've slipped out. I have a feeling we can trust this man though. I know I just said I wasn't sure if we could, but something's different now. Just a few seconds later, something seems different." Wednesday said. She seemed uncertain.
"Fantastic! Let's go then!" The Doctor said. He opened the door to the TARDIS and the three of them stepped inside.
"It's… It's… Bigger on the… Inside…" Sunday said in awe. She was a little girl that was often fascinated by the smallest little things. She pushed her braids off of her shoulders and onto her back. Her hair was a fiery red color that she inherited from her father. She inherited her dark, nearly black eyes from her mother. All over, she was a sweet yet rather frightening little girl. She was nicer than her mother had been as a child, but she was still just as creepy.
"Listen, Mr. Doctor Man, I'll help you with the Memminnians if my mother lets me, but you better let her come with me. This is a one-time thing. I'll save the town and be the most important six year old girl in the world, and then I'm coming back home." Sunday demanded.
"Alright, that's a deal. Wednesday, how about you?" The Doctor said.
"As long as you promise not to do anything that too tricky, then we'll go with you." Wednesday said.
"Alright then, let's go!" The Doctor said.
"Promise." Sunday demanded.
"I promise." The Doctor said with a smile. The doors of the TARDIS closed behind them and the Doctor immediately began pressing buttons and flipping switches. Sunday watched in excitement and anticipation as to see what was going to happen. The Doctor had typed in the coordinates and they landed halfway across town, but something was different. It looked different than it did before they left, and the ground was scattered with diamonds. Before the Doctor could stop her, Sunday bent down to pick one up. As soon as she picked one up, she vanished.
