Doctor Who and the Toy Shop - Christmas Special 2023

Episode Two

The TARDIS rematerialised again in London.

"What's the plan, Doctor?" Majora asked, following the Doctor on all fours.

"Simple, we go back to that toyshop and confront the Toymaker!" the Doctor said.

"Alright, but, you still haven't told me who's the Toymaker!" Majora said.

"The Celestial Toymaker is not a human. He's an immortal being who wants to have fun to escape his eternal boredom. I'm sure all this stuff is one of his games!" the Doctor said. "We must defeat him before the situation degenerates even further!"

The two arrived at the toyshop, but nobody was there.

"Toymaker!" the Doctor yelled. "I know you're here! Come out, we want to play!"

Suddenly, a wall opened, revealing a secret elevator.

"An elevator..." Majora sniffed around. "I can feel that man's scent coming from there."

"Looks like the Toymaker accepted my challenge. Come along, Majora! We have a game to play!"

The hound girl nodded and the two headed to the elevator, which immediately shut.

As it went down, tension was in the air.

"What...Will the Toymaker do, Doctor?" Majora asked, slightly worried.

"That's a good question. The Toymaker is always unpredictable, you never know what's coming for you." the Doctor said.

"Have you...Fought him before?"

"I've met him twice. Both times he lost, but he never gave up, I'm not a mortal, so every time he wants to capture me so that I can play with him forever."

The elevator reached its destination and the two stepped outside

The room they were in was brown with loads and loads of shelves with toys on them.

"We're in some sort of a storage..." Majora sniffed around. "The Toymaker is not here."

"Looks like this transformation gave you a very developed sense of smell, huh? You're like a dog!" the Doctor commented.

"I...Suppose so." Majora said.

The Doctor investigated around the room. "They seem normal toys...I wonder what the game the Toymaker wants us to play is."

As they kept walking in the room, Majora felt creeped out.

"Something's wrong, Majora?" the Doctor asked.

"These dolls...They're creepy. I feel like they're observing me..." Majora said.

"It's just your imagination. They're just toys, they aren't alive or anything!"

The toys turned towards the duo, creepily smiling.

"I stand corrected." the Doctor said.

The toys started falling from the shelves and chasing the two.

"RUN!" the Doctor said.

The two ran away from the toys.

"What should we do, Doctor?!" Majora said.

"Quiet! Let me think of something!" the Doctor said. "Think, Doctor, think..."

He noticed a piece of paper and took it. On it, there was a message, reciting:

"If you want to get away, rotate the world 5 times, and the exit will manifest."

"Rotate the world 5 times..." the Doctor repeated. "Perhaps...I've got it!"
