13s earthly adventures

1- The Arcade

It was a miserable afternoon and the fam couldn't go anywhere. It was driving the Doctor crazy that she was confined to the small space of Yaz's flat.
"I'm bored"
Yaz looked up from her magazine that she had been reading for the last half hour "what?"
"i said, im bored"
"oh. well there's not much we can do at the moment, is there. it's pouring with rain"
"if i had my tardis i could-"
"you are not skipping forward to when its not raining, Doctor. And remember, your TARDIS is in the repair shop"
"ok but-"
"no means no"
The Doctor crossed her arms and sulked, sighing every so often to show Yaz she was annoyed.
"Really, Doctor, im trying to read this"
"But im bored"
"Yes but this is Earth, and you're not skipping forward in time today."
"Isnt there something we can do?"
Yaz had an idea "maybe. Let me call Ryan and Graham"
"Ok then."
Yaz walked into the hallway and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Ryan. Its me-"
"Hi Yaz! What's up?"
"The Doctor's bored"
"Of course"
"Do you have any ideas to go out without get too wet?"
"Uh, when i was younger nan would take me to the arcades sometimes"
"Oh thats a brilliant idea. D'you wanna come, Ryan?"
"Sure"
"Ok. Meet you in town in, half an hour?"
"Graham!" Ryan called "want to come to the arcade?"
Yaz heard a muffled "im alright, mate" befor Ryan said "ok. See you then"

Walking back into the living room, Yaz noticed her magazine was gone, and instead the Doctor was balancing it on her head walking round the table
"Doctor?"
The Doctor jumped, sending the magazine clattering to the floor.
"You scared me Yaz! Have you found something we can do?"
"Actually, yes. We're going to an arcade."
"An arcade?" The Doctor questioned, with a puzzled look on her face
"Yes. There's a lot of games you can play to win prizes"
"I'm in!"
"Ok be ready quick, we're meeting Ryan in 30 minutes"
"Ok!"

By the time they had gotten to the arcade, they were soaking wet in their anoraks. The Doctor stared in awe at all the flashing colours and different machines.
"Hi Ryan!"
"Hi Yaz. Where's the Doctor"
"She's right-" Yaz looked to her right, to find out that she had run off. Craning her neck, she made out her blonde bob by a pacman machine
"Looks like she's playing pacman" she sighed. It was going to be a long hour.

Walking over to the Doctor, they noticed she had already accumulated quite a few tickets, and she was still winning more.
"Hey Doctor, whats up?"
"Ryan!" She pulled Ryan into a tight hug "how're you?"
"Good. Thanks." He said, still being squeezed by the Doctor.
"Hey Doctor, could you let Ryan go?"
"Oh. Right. Sorry"
"You've got quite a few tickets already, what are you going to get?"
"Oh. I havent thought that far." She replied, looking at the pile at her feet.
"Let's go to the prize counter then you can have a look" continied Ryan, guiding her over.
"Oh my gosh! Yaz, whats that?" She asked, pointing at the multi-coloured slinky.
"It's called a slinky, its a bit like a spring but it goes down the stairs really fast and is fun to play with"
"Can i get it? Please?"
"If you have enough tickets. It says here its 300"
The Doctor hastily counted her tickets
"I have 302! So i can get it!"
"Ok. Ask the man behind the counter and give him your tickets."
"Ok!" She walked over to the counter, almost falling over in excitement. Returning with her new toy, she wore a massive grin on her face
"Look! Its got rainbows too!"
She exclaimed, pointing from the slinky to her "we're matching!"
"Yes i see that," Yaz replied, sighing "shall we go home?"
"Ok! I want to play with it!"
