Kris's POV:

I had nevr noticed that Police Box before.

I was sitting on a bench in Tomorrowland, eating a small bag of popcorn I had gotten from a nearby snack cart. I took pride in knowing all sorts of trivia about the parks, so the fact that I had never noticed this before was strange. I was still trying to figure it out when a man sat down next to me.

"Hello." he said. "Remember me?"

"You were on the Mine Train yesterday." I said.

"Yes I was." he said. "You thanked me."

"You saved my life." I said. "I mean, I keep telling myself that I wasn't actually in any danger, but that pickaxe looked very real up close."

"Well, I'm glad it hasn't stopped you from enjoying your vacation."

"I'm not on vacation. I work over at the gift shop in Adventureland." I said. "I thought I was supposed to come in early to take over a shift for a woman who's on maternity leave, but that doesn't start until next week…" I trailed off. "I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm telling you all of this."

"Quite all right. As a matter of fact, I happen to be working here myself." He pulled something out of his pocket & showed it to me. It was a Park Security badge. "My name's John Smith, codename The Doctor, & I'm here investigating some weird activity that's been happening in the parks."

"I'm Kris." I said. "I had heard some rumors about weird stuff, but I didn't think any of them were true until last night…"

"Why?"

"Well, it's impossible." I said. "I worked on Attractions during my College Program. The AAs only do what they are programmed to do. There is just no logical reason that would explain why Happy was able to walk over to the tracks, much less try to take my head off!"

"You're familiar with Attractions?"

"Some what." I said, crumpling my now empty popcorn bag. "It was a couple years ago, but I still remember most of what I learned."

"Excellent. Perhaps you'd like to assist me with my investigation?"

"Why me?" I asked.

"Many others would have screamed, like your friend did…but you fought back."

"Ok." I said. I figured he probably just wanted to ask me some questions.

I wasn't expecting what would happen later that night.

"Isn't Animal Kingdom already closed for the night?" I asked as we came out of the Utilidor. I had met up with the Doctor after I had finished work. Animal Kingdom always closed the earliest, for the sake of the animals.

"All the better to take a look around." the Doctor said. "Now, where should we begin?"

I looked around. We were in the DinoLand USA section of the park. "Dinosaur is close by, & it has lots of AAs in it." I said, leading the way.

"The doors will probably be locked." I said, trying a set. The Doctor tried the next one.

"This one's open!" he said, although it looked like he was sticking something back into his inner pocket. We went inside & walked quickly through the line.

"I'll turn it to maintenance mode." I said as we got to the area where the ride loaded. The controls were in the center of the room.

"Maintenance mode?"

"It turns off the ride security lasers so that maintenance can walk through the ride if there's a problem." I said. It also gave us some light, but not much. It was still pretty dark & creepy in here.

We walked quickly through the ride, keeping an eye out for anything strange.

"Do you hear that?" the Doctor asked.

"Hear what?"

"That scuffling sound?" He pulled out a little flashlight & shone it on the floor. "It sounds like a rat, maybe a mouse…"

"Maybe it's a Hidden Mickey." I joked, looking behind me. Maybe I was just being paranoid, but it felt like something was watching me…

"Duck!" the Doctor cried suddenly, pulling me to the ground. A couple of pterodactyls flew overhead.

"Are they supposed to do that?" the Doctor asked.

"Not on their own…" I said. As we watched, the AAs seemed to come to life around us…& these dinos were big…

The Doctor grabbed my hand.

"Run!"

The Doctor just always seems to find trouble, doesn't he? But if you look closely, maybe you'll find a clue…
