The Littlest Timelord: Cracks in Time

Chapter 2

The Doctor and the little girl were falling out of the sky.

The TARDIS was going haywire and the little girl was trying her hardest to hang onto the Y-beam as the TARDIS exploded around her.

The Doctor was currently hanging outside with his sonic screwdriver in his hand as he tried to pull himself back in. He pointed his sonic at the controls just as they were about to hit Big Ben. The Doctor climbed back inside and shut the door behind him. He sat there for a few seconds until the TARIDS lurched again. The Doctor went sliding down the corridors of the TARDIS.

The TARDIS crashed violently and the little girl lost her grip and went sliding after him.

She screamed as she was plunged into cold water. Two hands grabbed her and pulled her up to the surface.

"Are you okay?" the Doctor asked her.

She nodded as they climbed out of the swimming pool. The little girl looked around and realized they were in a library.

There was a swimming pool in a library.

The Doctor started rummaging around looking for something. "Ah ha!" he said, coming back with a grappling hook. He swung it and it caught on something outside the TARDIS. "Can you climb?" he asked the little girl.

She looked up with wide eyes.

"Okay then". He knelt down and said, "Hop on up".

She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Now hold on tight", he told her as he started to climb.

When he reached the doorway of the TARDIS, the little girl carefully climbed out and sat on the edge. Something bright was pointed at her face.

A redheaded girl stood there. Amelia Pond.

The Doctor popped up next to the little Timelord. "Could I have an apple? All I can think about", the Doctor told little Amelia, "Apples. I love apples. Maybe I'm having a craving? That's new. Never had cravings before". He climbed out and sat on the edge of the TARDIS next to the little girl.

"Are you okay?" Amelia asked.

"Just had a fall. All the way down there, right to the library". The Doctor rolled up his sleeves. "Hell of a climb back up".

"You're both soaking wet".

"We were in the swimming pool".

"You said you were in the library".

"So was the swimming pool".

"Are you a policeman?"

"Why? Did you call a policeman?"

"Did you come about the crack in my wall?"

"What crack? Argh!" The Doctor fell to the ground.

Amelia stepped closer to him and shined the flashlight in his face. "Are you all right, mister?"

"No, I'm fine. It's okay. This is all perfectly norm..." He was cut off by a breath of golden energy coming from his mouth.

"Who are you?" she asked him.

"I don't know yet. I'm still cooking". he said looking down at his hands, "Does it scare you?"

"No, it just looks a bit weird".

"No, no, no. The crack in your wall. Does it scare you?"

"Yes".
