Crossing of my ways season 1 (Doctor Who fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Episode 7: The study in weird

Hello whovians!

New week, new episode (talking about that, tonight a new Doctor Who episode comes out too which is a great coincidence I think)

Anyway, last week we stayed at the point where Mr Collins, Alya and Emily's dad comes home, so let's continue there too.

Enjoy!

"Hello, sweetie!" I heard dad laugh.

Let me get this clear. Our dad was really awesome, it wasn't sarcasm.

"Hey dad!" I said, walking into the hall.

"What were my little girls doing today?"

"Dad, please, I'm seventeen."

"Don't use this tone of pretending to be adult, young lady," he frowned at me. A second after that he laughed. "So, is anyone hungry?"

"Me!" I and my sister said at the same time.

"Who wants pancakes?"

I saw Emily's big grin and said: "Us, I guess."

"You guessed right, follow me!"

You don't see a lot of businessmen baking pancakes in their business suits. Dad, on the other hand, put a pink 'kiss the cook' apron that mom bought for his birthday over his suit and made some really good pancakes. With our assistance of course.

We ate the dinner in the kitchen.

"Hey, I can't reach Nutella, can you pass it over?" said Emily.

I rolled my eyes but pushed the jar closer to my sister.

"So, we have just enough time to watch something, what do you think?"

"Tangled," I said without thinking. Sometimes I just wanted to watch something people considered childish. To which I usually answered with a 4th Doctor quote: "Where's the point of being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes?"

Emily fell asleep during the end credits.

Dad looked at me: "So, Alya, how's school?"

I sighted. School questions were always so annoying. "Brilliant," I smiled.

"Any plans for the weekend?"

"I'm going to study math with Patricia on Sunday."

"Great," he smiled, "I heard you're really into puzzle solving."

I nodded.

"Would you mind helping me with something at work tomorrow?"

"With what?" I asked.

"Parts are going missing in some working places of the development section of the factory," dad explained.

"I'd love to help," I smiled.

"Thanks God, I can't imagine getting police into this," father smiled and hugged me. "Now off to bed you go."

"Good night," I said and walked upstairs.

I got dressed into pyjamas and crawled into my bed. I fell asleep as soon as I got into the bed, as much as I can remember.

I was on a space station. There was also my older self I met in 5225. I heard a loud bang and she fell down. "No!" cried the Doctor appearing next to her.
