[Tardis]

(The Tardis is tumbling out of control and going Bang! inside. It flies over the Millennium Dome with the Doctor dangling from the threshold, sonic screwdriver between his teeth and trying to pull himself back inside. They are heading straight for the Parliament Clock Tower, so the Doctor sonics the controls and changes course just in time. He climbs back inside and shuts the doors behind him, exhausted, as the Tardis careers on its way.)

"I wonder who that is?" said Hermione, Ginny nodded in agreement.

[Bedroom]

(Night time. A pinwheel rattles in the overgrown garden of an old house. A little red-haired Scottish girl is saying her prayers.)
AMELIA: Dear Santa. Thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you, but honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know it's not, because at night there's voices, so please, please, could you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman. Or a

"Is that our sister?" asked Fred, Molly nodded with tears in her eyes, she missed her eldest daughter with everything she had.

(She hears the Tardis materialising outside, then a crash.)
AMELIA: Back in a moment.
(She grabs a torch and looks outside. The Tardis has crash-landed on its side, on the garden shed.)
AMELIA: Thank you, Santa.

"She's so cute" gushed Ginny "you were like that Gin" said Fred and George in sync, Ginny blushed.

[Garden]

(For only the second time ever, the Tardis doors open outwards - they are facing the sky - and a grappling hook is thrown out. A soaking wet Doctor clambers out.)
DOCTOR: Could I have an apple? All I can think about. Apples. I love apples. Maybe I'm having a craving? That's new. Never had cravings before.

"What the?" asked Ginny, while Hermione sat thinking about all the legends she read about the Doctor, the man with many faces, the oncoming storm, the destroyer of worlds.

(He sits on the edge of the Tardis and looks inside.)
DOCTOR: Whoa. Look at that.
AMELIA: Are you okay?

"I hope so" said Hermione.

DOCTOR: Just had a fall. All the way down there, right to the library. Hell of a climb back up.

"Wait but he was in the library why is he saturated?" asked Molly.

AMELIA: You're soaking wet.

"Thank you Amelia" said Arthur.

DOCTOR: I was in the swimming pool.

"But he said he was in the library" said Harry confused.

AMELIA: You said you were in the library.
DOCTOR: So was the swimming pool.

"How is that possible?" asked Dumbledore. Everyone shurgged.

AMELIA: Are you a policeman?
DOCTOR: Why? Did you call a policeman?
AMELIA: Did you come about the crack in my wall?
DOCTOR: What crack? Argh!

"Is he alright?" asked Molly in worry.

(He falls to the ground.)
AMELIA: Are you all right, mister?
DOCTOR: No, I'm fine. It's okay. This is all perfectly norm...
(A breath of golden energy comes from his mouth.)

"Woah, what's that?" asked Ginny, "we'll find out I suppose" said Harry. "it is regeneration energy, the Doctor is an alien, there are many legends about him, the doctor always has a companion, the Doctor has the ability to cheat death but he must change face I think" said Hermione

AMELIA: Who are you?
DOCTOR: I don't know yet. I'm still cooking. Does it scare you?
AMELIA: No, it just looks a bit weird.

"Then that is one scary crack" said Hermione, everyone nodded in agreement.

DOCTOR: No, no, no. The crack in your wall. Does it scare you?

"I'd imagine so if she isn't scared of you" said Ron

AMELIA: Yes.
DOCTOR: Well then, no time to lose. I'm the Doctor. Do everything I tell you, don't ask stupid questions, and don't wander off.

"How would Amelia get stolen in her own yard?" asked Hermione, the others shrugged.

(The Doctor walks straight into a tree.)

Everyone laughed.

AMELIA: Are you all right?
DOCTOR: Early days. Steering's a bit off.

"Steering's a bit off?" asked Hermione in shock as the others snorted.

[Kitchen]

AMELIA: If you're a doctor, why does your box say Police?

"Good question" said Snape quietly.

(The Doctor bites into an apple, then spits it out.)
DOCTOR: That's disgusting. What is that?

"An apple, is he ok?" asked Fred

AMELIA: An apple.
DOCTOR: Apple's rubbish. I hate apples.

"He just said he loves them" said George.

AMELIA: You said you loved them.
DOCTOR: No, no, no. I like yoghurt. Yoghurt's my favourite. Give me yoghurt.

Everyone face palmed.

(Amelia gets him a pot from the fridge. He pours it in his mouth and then spits it out.)
DOCTOR: I hate yoghurt. It's just stuff with bits in.

"Oh my god" said Harry exasperated.

AMELIA: You said it was your favourite.

"He did didn't he" said Hermione.

DOCTOR: New mouth. New rules. It's like eating after cleaning your teeth. Everything tastes wrong. Argh!

"So true" said everyone in the room.

(The Doctor twitches violently.)
AMELIA: What is it? What's wrong with you?

"Something" said Hermione.

DOCTOR: Wrong with me? It's not my fault. Why can't you give me any decent food? You're Scottish. Fry something.

"She's technically not Scottish" said Ron "actually we are Scottish" said Molly, Ron tilted his head in confusion "after Bill and Charlie were born we moved to the English country side" said Arthur.

(So Amelia gets the frying pan out while the Doctor dries his hair with a towel.)
DOCTOR: Ah, bacon!
(That gets spat out, too.)
DOCTOR: Bacon. That's bacon. Are you trying to poison me?

"No" said Ginny getting annoyed.

(A saucepan of baked beans gets heated up.)
DOCTOR: Ah, you see? Beans.
(Until he gets them in his mouth, that is.)
DOCTOR: Beans are evil. Bad, bad beans. Bread and butter. Now you're talking.

Ginny dramatically sobbed.

[Front door]

(The Doctor throws the plate of bread and butter out, hitting a cat.)
DOCTOR: And stay out!

"Oh my Merlin" said Minerva in shock.
