5- Dinner at Yaz's

"you are not having custard creams for dinner"
"but-"
"no means no. you can have lasagne like the rest of us",
"fine. but can i have custard creams after?"
"ok. if you eat your dinner"
The Doctor was sat in Yaz's living room, playing with her lego set that Graham had bought her earlier that day. Yaz was in the kitchen preparing the food for when the rest of her family got home.

The metallic grinding of a key in the lock caught the Doctor's attention, and she ran to the door, pulling it open. She was met by a startled Sonya, and the smiling faces of Yaz's mum, Najia and Yaz's dad, Hakim
"Yaz's mum! Yaz's dad! Sonya!" she squealed, pulling them each into a tight hug
"Hi Doctor, how are you?" asked Najia
"I'm great thanks!" she replied, her eyes shining, "Graham got me a lego set today, i made a TARDIS, d'you want to see?"
"sure, but can we come inside first?"
"ok!" she ran back into the living room, as Najia, Hakim and Sonya hung their coats up.
"Hi mum, hi dad!"
"hi Yaz!" the chorused
"Hi Sonya!"
"hi" Sonya mumbled in reply
"I'm making lasagne, it should be ready soon"
"Yaz's mum!! Are you coming?" called the Doctor
"I'll be a second, hang on!"
"ok!"

Sonya raised her eyebrows at Yaz, causing Yaz to death glare her back. The angry stares were broken off by Hakim asking how long the lasagne was going to be.
"it's ready now, could you lay the table?"

Yaz walked in, carrying the steaming lasagne dish. She set it down and started serving everyone. The Doctor shovelled a mouthful in, then started breathing rapidly.
"you alright there?" asked Yaz
"its... h-hot" she stuttered, fanning her mouth desperately.
"well, it has just come out of the oven"

Making sure to blow on the food for the rest of the meal, the Doctor was silent except for a few "hm"s and "i agree"s throughout their conversation. By the time everyone had finished, she had eaten so much that she didn't think she could eat another thing.
"can anyone help me wash up?" Yaz asked
"i will!" she said, jumping up in excitement
"careful, you nearly knocked your water over"
"oh, sorry"

The Doctor walked to the kitchen carrying a stack of plates as Yaz carried the dish and cutlery. She turned the sink on and filled it with washing up liquid, the water becoming bubbly and hot withing minutes.
"it looks like a bath" the Doctor said, picking up some bubbles "i could make a bubble beard!"
"we your not going to, now put some gloves on and start washing"
"ok!"
After half an hour and alot of mopping up spilt water, Yaz and the Doctor had finished washing up. Walking into the living room where the others were watching the Chase, the Doctor squealed excitedly.
"look! look! its Graham!"
"yes, i have told you he does presenting now"
"he's on tv! he's on tv!" she danced round the room, continuously chanting the same sentence
"hey, d'you reckon you could quiet down? we're tryna watch this" said sonya
"ah. sorry. i got a bit excited."
"anyone want custard creams?" Yaz walked into the room holding two 40 packs of the Doctor's favourite biscuit.
"me! pleade, Yaz, please!"
"alright, Doctor, calm down, you can have them"

By the time the Chase had finished, the Doctor had nearly eaten both packets.
"i feel s-sick" she said, reaching for another Custard Cream.
"no. you're not having anymore, you'll be sick at this rate. why don't you just go lie down?"
"ok" the Doctor walked to Yaz's room, where they had set up a matress on the floor for her to sleep on
"goodnight" she mumbled, already asleep.
"goodnight, Doctor" Yaz replied, walking out and closing the door.
The Doctor smiled to herself. Today had been a great day
