The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

The Blue Stalker Pt. 2

Theodore's eyes wide as he stared at the object sitting in front of him, having suddenly vanished and reappeared, without him knowing.

He never seen it in person, only heard stories from his mum and father, his father sent it away, after the Bad Thing, he did.

... the Bad Thing, as dubbed, his father never mentioned a word what he did, but whatever it was, was enough for him to hang up his scarf for good, and even mum wouldn't talk about it, either.

None of the Smith siblings knew what the Bad Thing was and no attempts to find out succeeded, their parents forcibly suppressed it.

Even then, as he's in advanced age, his father won't say a word about it.

Whatever it was, something serious, and Theodore couldn't fathom what it might've been. Enough to cause his father to give up his traveling for good and forgo the thing now standing in front of Theodore in a rougher shape than when his father took those odd years ago.

The TARDIS.

That's not the shorthand or actual name of the object, but due to the archaic differences between the languages, his father translated it to something people can understand and the concept of what it is wasn't lost. It stuck since.

His father stole it away from his home world, he claimed he broke no laws, since his people wanted to destroy it, and claimed it as rubbish when they initially caught him. He used their language of the law against them, but they wanted him exiled. Strip him of his name and everything. For taking a broken-down TARDIS. Maybe causing issues since day one, but semantics aside, him taking it broke the camel's back.

Theodore and his siblings never saw it in person, just some photographs their mother took, as their father sent it away when Hammond was born.

Here it is, yet again, and Theodore's mystified.

Of all people, it showed up to him, and it made no sense, considering it should've gone back to his father. Maybe it mistook him for his father, as others none bright do, but he dabbed his hair with water, blackening it to his mother's colour, and it should've been obvious.

"Wh—", Theodore's shocked as he looked at the TARDIS.

No rhyme or reason, it showed up into his flat, and he checked the time. Oh, he needed to head to the restaurant and fast, else his brother won't let him hear the end of it!

"I can't..." Theodore spoke aloud. "I-I have a dinner... I can't be late. I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Pulling on his jacket and heading to the door, Theodore exited his flat, locked it tightly, and headed out of the building, trying to reach the restaurant.

As he strolled the sidewalk down, Theodore's unable to grasp the scene that happened, and if not for the dinner, he'd discuss with his family about it, but for now, he's going to act calmly as possible. When he sees Odette's friend off, then he'll discuss...

"Oomph!" Theodore's jolted from his thoughts as he slammed into something and fell backwards onto his back.

Groggily, he recovered, thinking he'd foolishly run into a street torch, but as he blinked, he sees...

"You, again?!" Theodore's eyes widened as he sees the TARDIS, right in front of him, having left his flat.

Rubbing his sore nose, Theodore shooed at the TARDIS as he said, "After! I said after! I know you're forceful, but I can't do anything until after the dinner! Do you understand?!"

Yes, it looks crazy to someone who sees him yelling at an inanimate object, but don't let it fool you, the damn thing's got a mind of its own and known to act out whenever possible!
