The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

A Thing About Family Pt. 2

Bright and early, next morning, Theodore gotten up, made sure his fur friends had their morning baths, breakfast, everything to primp them before he left Al in charge of them while he's out.

Taking a rift to the household wouldn't work, too much interference today with the storms in the yonder, that taking the cab with Lila to the household's a better idea.

Tugging on his stitched long coat while sitting beside Lila as the cab driver took them on the course to the Watson household, Theodore checked himself in the reflection as he aimed to look presentable to Daphne, while Lila sat quietly beside him, the look on her face showing her inner discourse.

Slightly turning his head, Theodore sees the look, before gently nudging her foot with his, reminding her of their conversation the other night.

Lila turned her head to look at him as she said to him, "I don't know how you convince me into doing this, you're worse than one of those informercial idiots that take up dead air!"

Somehow, someway, Theodore managed to convince her into doing this despite her disposition, and he's not even trying to sell her a useless product that doesn't even work for an exorbitant price.

The curse of having the spaceman in her life, she supposed.

"Because we both know deep inside, I'm right," Theodore flashed his pearly whites to Lila as she rolled her eyes at him.

Exhaling, Lila responded with a flat, "You're really lucky you're cute and you're my boss's brother, bud."

If not for those key factors, Lila would've sucker punched Theodore at that point.

Waving his hand, Theodore adamantly tells her that she wouldn't hit him anyhow, it's not her nature.

"And you would know how?" Lila asked Theodore how he figured that Lila didn't have it in her to hit him.

Showing her his pearly whites, Theodore tells her that he's the Doctor, it's in his best interest to know.

"As with everything else," Lila muttered under her breath, before Theodore reached over to lightly touched her nose, indicating that he heard that, before winking at her.

The cab ride lasted over two hours due to the traffic and the rerouting from the construction going on in the city, but they arrived at the household on time.

Paying the cabby his due, Theodore got out of his seat with Lila waiting for him on the side, he joined hers, as they walked up the cobbled pathway up to the house.

His icy blue eyes glancing around, Theodore sees different flowerbeds around the yard, something Daphne liked doing with her downtime.

It's fortunate that Lila stocked up on allergy medicine when she did.

While glimpsing around, Theodore noticed one underneath the kitchen window with lilies with red bricks surrounding the flowerbed.

The bricks are taller, anyone near them would have to slightly lean forward to see the flowers below, Lila says that Daphne did that to keep most animals away from the lilies, as they're toxic to some, such as cats.

With them near the window, Daphne can look over periodically while in the kitchen, making sure any cats or other come too near, won't get close to the lilies.

Pushing the ringer, Theodore waited with Lila, as comfort, Theodore held his long arm around her shoulder.

"Why did I let you talk me into doing this, again?" Lila filled the dead air while waiting for someone to get the door.
