The Date In The Stars

Starry Eyed

Journal entry one:
After the Doctor and I saved the sun, he took me home and we arranged another date. We stood on my back step and spoke softly, so my inquisitive siblings didn't spy on us.

"So, I'll pick you up from here?"

"Mm if you like. Where are we going?"

"Back about two days ago! To see that super nova!"

"Brilliant! I'll see you then!"

As I turned to go inside, I heard the Doctor cough for my attention.

"No good by hug?"

I smiled and jumped into his arms as he gave a huge hug and massive grin.

"I'll see tomorrow blue eyes!"

He said, putting me down and pinching my cheek.

"Sure thing. Be here by 10:00?"

I lent forwards and gave him one last hug. He buried his face into hair and bit my ear.

"Oi, don't get too frisky! It's not even our second date yet!"

I laughed, slapping his ass as I trotted inside. The Doctor stood outside our house for a few moments with his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. Turning he shook his head smiling as he walked back to the TARDIS.

Inside I came across mum.

"You're a bit sun burnt! How long were you out side for? Was that Rachel at the door? Where is your hat?"

I stood and listened to mums raving about being sun smart and all the rest.

"Yes mum I know, but the sun really isn't that dangerous..."

She gave up and walked back into the kitchen. I took my chance and bolted up stairs.
I grabbed my journal off the shelf and scribbled and sketched about my adventure with the Doctor, until mum banged on my door.

"Are you coming down for lunch? I'm still cross about you wandering off with Rachel! You didn't say where you were going..."

"I'll be down in a minute!"

I cut her off. I sat on my bed contemplating a thought. I sprung off my bed and grabbed a near by bag and stuffed a few essentials in it. My journal tucked under my arm, I opened my window and climbed out.
Bloody two story house.
I slid down the rain drain pipe and into our yard below. I ran through the back yard and scrambled over the back fence that was covered with ivy.

I went around the side of the house and down the garden path. Out the gate and down the road a few meters, I saw the TARDIS.
The Doctor was still there! He was leaning against the magnificent blue box with a smirk on his face.

"Not exactly ten o'clock tomorrow is it, blue eyes?"

He teased taking my stuff for me and unlocking TARDIS's doors.

"Yeah well, mum is... Mum."

I stepped inside and smiled at him.

"How did you know to wait?"

"I didn't."

"You could have been out here for hours!"

"Anything for you, blue eyes."

I blushed and gave him another quick hug.

"Thank you."

I whispered in his ear. He clapped his hands together as he strode over to her controls.

"Now! About that super nova!"

Journal entry two:
Mum came upstairs ten minutes later to check on me, she rolled her eyes when she saw my window was wide open, and the breeze was fluttering the many torn out pages of Galaxy Guide books, Star Constellation facts or the clever but peculiar drawings of the Mad Man and his Blue Box stuck to my wall. She shook her head and went back to the kitchen.
She really did think he was just a recurring dream.
Maybe he was.
