Mad House Reunion

 Living With The Doctor: Mad House Reunion 

You bit into the juicy ripe apple before asking. “Whatcha doing?”

The Doctor was sitting in a small swing under the TARDIS’s floor. Thick wires and circuits hung around him. But that’s not what disturbed you. The Doctor wore thick goggles that made his eyes look ten times bigger than they actually were. “I’m trying to fix something?” He mumbled as he began to click and twist things you couldn’t and wouldn’t ever understand. You watched him from the stairs to the side.

“Well are you almost done?” It had been hours since your last trip, you were bored.

His head snapped to look at you. “Why…?”

“I. Am. Bored.” You took another bite of the apple.

His eyes widened. “Bored?! Bored?!?!” He threw two wires together and they sparked and snapped. He jumped from the chair and fell to the ground with a thud. But just as fast, he recovered and sprung up. He ran past you, grabbing your hand on the way and pulling you up the stairs and to the glass floor. “If there’s one thing I can’t stand its boredom!”

You smiled at his sudden enthusiasm. “And common clothing.” You gestured to the glasses he was still wearing.

He immediately ripped them off and threw them aside. He began to pull, twist, bonk, ding, roll, and kerplunk different items on the TARDIS until the whole ship was shaking furiously. You grabbed onto the side until it all stopped and everything was silent.

The Doctor looked at you with a crazy expression. “Where are we?” You asked.

He licked his lips. “Hopefully somewhere not boring. Hold on! Let’s check the scanner!” He flipped a switch and with a beep it appeared. You peered over his shoulder to see. There was a somewhat fuzzy depiction of a patch of land floating through space. What caught you as odd was the two story wooden house sitting on the floating patch of dirt and grass. What was a house doing in the middle of space?

“That’s not boring.” You smiled at the Doctor and he smiled back.

“No not at all!” He flipped a switch and jumped down the stairs two at a time. You followed then when you were both standing side by side you wrapped your hand around his arm and began to skip to the TARDIS door. The Doctor snapped his fingers and it opened.

The inside of the house was much bigger than the outside. It had huge spiral stairs and endless halls with rooms and beautiful portraits.

You and the Doctor both said in unison “It’s bigger on the inside.”

The Doctor went into scientist/detective mode. He started to examine everything. He smelled lamps and tasted tables. Put his head on portraits and jumped on stairs.

You watched as a million questions filled your head. “This place is like the TARDIS.”

The Doctor looked at you and squinted. “Except the part where it travels in time.”

“You don’t know that.”

He opened his mouth as if to say something then shut it with a grumpy expression.

You smirked and let him go back to being weird. With the apple still in your hand, you began to walk around. You found a room with pink and blue stripes on the wall and sculptures made of a bronze colored metal.

“Cool.” You reached out to touch one of them but as soon as your finger got near, you were zapped. Your dropped the apple and jumped back. “Stupid statue.” You were about to kick it but stopped, you did not want your foot to get zapped by this electrical invisible force-field thing.
