I rested on the tree, looking at the dappled light dancing across the leaves and the way the sunlight streamed through the gaps to create glowing spot lights.

It was peaceful and beautiful, a serene and picturesque escape from my new hectic lifestyle with the boys. That was, until a sound echoed up to my hiding place, breaking my silence.

My eyes darted around looking for the source, and what I was greeted with almost made me fall out of the tree. A police box, blue, sitting in the middle of a forest. That, I was pretty sure, had not been there before.

Then a man stepped out. His brown hair was swept to one side in a messy way, a wide inquisitive grin on his lips. He wore a long suit jacket, a dress shirt and a bow tie. I could see suspenders from the tilt of one side of the jacket.

He took a long metal tube and a green light glowed from one end. "Charleston, South Carolina, 2014," the man muttered to himself, stepping out of the box and adjusting his clothes.

The door to the police box swung, and I gasped. I got a glimpse of golden plating, but that wasn't what surprised me. It was much, much bigger on the inside. In my shock, I lost balance and fell out of the tree.

I yelped as I fell, right in front of the man.

"Bloody hell," he said. I blinked and looked up to see him offering a hand out. When I took it, he tugged me to my feet. I brushed down my skirt.

"Hi," he told me cheerfully, "I'm the Doctor."

I bit my lip and smiled at him. "Doctor who?"

To my surprise and slight embarrassment, the man huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

"They all ask me that. Why can't you just accept my name is Doctor?"

I blinked. "Okay...Doctor. I'm Sang."

"Hello, Sang. Do you care to explain why a pretty girl such as yourself is falling out of trees in front of handsome gentlemen such as me?"

I put my hands on my hips and raised an eyebrow. "Care to explain why a handsome gentlemen such as yourself is appearing in a police box and scaring pretty girls such as myself so much they fall out of trees?"

The Doctor paused.

"Touché."
