SUMMARY: In which Skye briefly mentions that she's never watched Doctor Who to FitzSimmons, and it ends with Coulson banning popcorn from the plane.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: A very short, sweet and cheerful one-shot today. Sorry that it's not my best work, but I'm working on a request at the moment and I want to make it good. However, I still wanted something to come out, and so this was born. I hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER FIVE: Blue Box

"A TARDIS.. What exactly is a TARDIS?" Skye frowned at the two scientists, leaning forward in the plush chair.

"It's a box that's bigger on the inside, one that can travel through any point in time and space. It stands for-"

"-Time And Relative Dimension In Space."

"And.. what exactly has this got to do with this 'doctor'?" Skye was seriously beginning to regret ever asking about the small blue box that sat in Fitz's bunker.

"The Doctor," Simmons corrected gently, her eyes lit up in the way they did when she was being all clever and sharing information. "He's one of a kind."

"Okay.." Skye shook her head at them both, her eyes crinkled in confusion. Despite her obvious confusion, she still had a small smirk on her lips. It was funny when Fitz and Simmons got excited about something. It seemed to trigger their synchronisation even more than usual, something Skye found freaky but strangely cool. "How do you remember all this stuff? I feel like my brain's exploding already."

"You'd be able to understand if you watched the show," Fitz muttered. Beside him, Simmons brightened suddenly, nudging him with a grin.

"Fitz, you're a genius-"

"-yeah, well, I'm not here for nothing-"

"Why don't we just show Skye Doctor Who?"

Skye widened her eyes suddenly, holding her hands up in a mock sign of surrender. "Hey, it's okay. I was just nosy, that's all. You don't have to show me your nerdy show."

But FitzSimmons had set their hearts on it already, Simmons tugging on her jacket enthusiastically and Fitz setting off to find the DVD's in question.

"Come on, you'll love it, Skye," Simmons urged, Skye couldn't turn down FitzSimmon's puppy eyes, and soon she was being dragged off down the plane.

Within moments, they were seated in front of the screen with a large bowl of popcorn - who knows why they'd had popcorn on the plane in the first place - and blankets. Skye waited patiently as the screen flickered on, holding back a smile when Fitz or Simmons pointed out something to her, when something caught her eye.

"Oh, he's hot."

"Skye!"

...

To her surprise, Skye enjoyed it more than she had expected. It helped to amuse her when Fitz or Simmons made remarks about the show, often intersecting each other's sentences.

"Wait, so what's that ugly thing?" She leaned forward to stare at the screen, pulling a face at the knobbly creature on screen.

"A dalek," Fitz said, reaching for another large handful of popcorn. Skye would never be able to understand where he stored it all away in his skinny little body.

"Are they those things that shoot lasers? Oh, wait, what's happening?"

"It's ending, Skye," Simmons explained.

"Well. That was a stupid ending."

"It says that it's to be continued," Fitz pointed out, and Skye nodded slowly.

"Oh. That makes sense now."

"So, does Doctor Who make more sense to you now?" Simmons asked earnestly.

"Nope. Still no clue. He's hot though."

"Oh, Skye!"

It was Simmons who started it first, Skye would explain to a very confused Coulson and May. Her and Fitz had only joined in on what would be known from then on as the 'popcorn incident'. It was safe to say, Coulson banned Skye and FitzSimmons from eating popcorn ever again.
