Episode 6: The nightmare on our street

Hello whovians!

New week, new episode.

Enjoy!

***

When the TARDIS disappeared from our front yard all three of us walked to the entrance door which we found locked.

"Damn," I muttered under my breath.

Emily checked the mail box – that's where we usually stored the keys.

"Nope," she shook her head.

"So we don't have the keys and door to the backyard is always locked," I frowned. But as fast as I decided to lose all hope I found the solution. It was in my pocket. I pulled the sonic device from my pocket and pointed it at the lock.

It clicked.

And the door was unlocked.

"Where did you get this?" Emily suspiciously asked.

"TARDIS gave it to me," I answered and walked into the house. Patricia and Emily followed me.

"So what's the time?" Patricia asked.

"8 p.m.," shortly answered Emily.

Great!" my best friend exclaimed, "we have just enough time to watch a movie before I need to go home."

"We're not going to watch Believe, are we?" Emily asked.

"God forbid," I answered.

She was a belieber and directioner since she was old enough to listen to them and when I say she grew up with the band I'm not joking. Patricia introduced her into the 1D fandom, and she found the other one by herself a year later.

"What do you think? Should we watch Thor or Star trek?" Patricia looked at us.

We finally decided to watch Thor.

Next week was mostly sunny, though it was September. I was surprised, mainly because the weather was usually cloudy with chance of rain in this time of year. I was really happy I could spend some time outside with Patricia, William and sometimes Emily.

On Thursday, we were sitting on the ground at the front door and talking about Doctor Who. We got ourselves some pillows so we weren't sitting on the cold ground. Emily, who wasn't exactly a Whovian was listening to what we were talking about and asking questions.

"I still don't believe he just randomly changed into this roman," William said, "I think he really travelled back in time so he could see Donna again."

"Yeah, I agree."

It was slowly getting darker and colder outside but none of us commented on it. Five minutes or so ago the street lights turned on and we just stood up to get inside. Then all the lights on the street flickered in the exact same manner.

"This is suspicious," Patricia said after a moment of silence.

I nodded. "If I scan it with my sonic, maybe I'll be able to tell why it happened."

"Yeah, let's check it out," Emily said.

"Oh no, no, no, no," I grabbed her collar before she could run to the first streetlamp.

"But Alya!" she protested.

"I know, I know, hard-core action material," I nodded, "But there's a thing. It might be dangerous. Like cybermen dangerous. Or maybe even demons, because you can never be sure what exists. So I want you to stay inside and then when we finish, I'll explain you everything in detail."
