“Doctor?” You stepped over the piles of alien junk and did your best not to trip. “Doctor?!”

“Yes?” The Doctor’s head popped out from behind a red wardrobe.

“Where are we? And what are you doing?”

The Doctor also jumped between the clutter of stuff.  “This is the TARDIS’s attic! I collect a lot of things over the years and this is where I put it!”

You looked around the large room. You saw trunks labeled in alphabetical order but all of them were over flowing with things. There was a giant mirror where you swear you saw a blonde little girl look at you. There was also a Michal Jackson Thriller jacket, a crib with Gallifreyan writing, and a portrait of the Doctor dressed in a suit of armor.

“When’s the last time you sorted or cleaned this place?” You grimaced.

“Uh….well…” He ran his hand through his hair and thought about it. “Never really. But I don’t think it’s too bad.” As if on cue a mess of items fell from a shelf and almost crushed you.

You both coughed and waved the dust away. “Yeah not too bad.” You mocked. You looked down at the pile of things. “Hey!” You dove down to retrieve and old tattered purple monkey with button eyes. “This is mine!” You looked at him with wide eyes.

“What?” The Doctor denied. “That’s impossible! I found this at a park-

As he talked you also explained. “I lost it at a park next to my grandma’s house. I left it at a bench and went to get ice cream. When I came back it was gone!”

The Doctor got a little pale. “Well I was passing by and I thought someone left it there! It seemed a shame to leave such an adorable toy sitting alone.”

You gaped at him. “So that’s what you do. Travel through time and space stealing children’s toys. How many of these things weren’t even given to you?!” You gestured to everything around you.

The Doctor got offensive. “Hold on just a minute! How many times have I saved Earth or any planet? I think it’s ok if I happen to get some things for free! It’s the least humans can do.”

“Oh my God, you are such an outer space hoarder!”

The Doctor looked flabbergasted. “I am not!”

“Are to!”

“Am not!”

“Prove it!”

30 minutes later….

The Doctor had grudgingly agreed to take the day off to sort through everything. Now you both were knee deep in junk trying to decide what should be donated to Goodwill and what could stay.

“So where did you get this?” You lifted up a green and pink lava lamp.

The Doctor glanced up from his pile of junk. “The 70’s……I rather not talk about it. And don’t ask Marlon Brando either!

“Geez chill…..” You placed the lava lamp on a yellow shelf. You noticed something else sitting on the shelf as well. It was small, about the size of your hand and it was made of a copper like metal. When you picked it up it lit up to show a bunch of numbers and words. “Doctor what’s this….?”

The Doctor didn’t look at you, instead he mumbled to himself about how impossible it was to get a cow down a flight of stairs. You looked back at the devise and walked toward the Doctor. You pressed a button that had the number one and there was a bright flash of light.
