Drabble!
Because my brain has apparently gone into overdrive writing creative stories as a rebellion against all of the not for fun writing I am currently forcing it to do I present another drabble. This one may or may not become cannon. I haven't decided yet.
In a remote snow covered field a blue police phone box suddenly materialized out of thin air. The field was empty except for one lone penguin waddling down to the open sea. It paused for a moment and tilted its head to the side when the blue box suddenly appeared but then the thought of a meal of fresh fish drove all curiosity out of its mind and it hurried off down the hill. Consequently, no one noticed when a young man popped out of the door of the phone box without even opening it.
“Crap it’s cold out here!” David Doran said shivering as he stood in the unexpected snow without a coat. “Where the heck are we?”
His other three siblings, Rose, Jack, and Donna, opened the door and stepped outside of the phone box as well.
“What the hell?” Jack asked glaring at his youngest sister. “First you convince us to get inside this crazy phone booth that turns out to be bigger on the inside and then you push some buttons and hit a few things with a hammer and suddenly we are in the middle of a frozen tundra?”
“No flowers,” Rose interrupted Jack, sounding sad. “Everything is frozen. There aren’t any flowers here.” She looked at their surroundings. “And the trees are all sleeping. I’ve never been anywhere this silent before. It’s like they haven’t been awake in years…”
“You haven’t answered our questions yet,” David said as he, Rose, and Jack all turned to look at Donna. “Where are we and how did we get here?”
“Are you showing off some power we didn’t know you had?” Jack eyed her warily with a hint of worry and jealousy in his voice.
Donna grinned with a mischievous look in her eye, “As for where we are I don’t really know, but I can tell you how we got here and no, Jack, it wasn’t through any special powers, at least not my own. Remember that strange guy I met who wearing the long brown coat?”
Donna’s siblings nodded. “The one that called himself the Doctor?” Rose asked.
“Yeah him,” Donna replied. “Well he offered me a ride in this fancy phone box because I reminded him of an old friend. By the way it’s actually a space ship called a TARDIS, that’s short for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. Anyway, we traveled to all sorts of awesome places!” Donna’s eyes grew distant as she recalled her various travels, “Even to a parallel world! At one point we met this crazy lady who could tell the future and she said I had a destiny to fulfill. After that the Doctor brought me back. It was just seconds after we had originally left so you guys didn’t even miss me! Then he gave me a key and told me to wait for him real quick while he went to get something. That’s when I called you all over to take a quick trip just the four of us! So here we are!”
Donna finished her story with a flourish as her siblings looked at her nonplused.
“That is the craziest thing you have ever told us,” Jack said with disgust. “Also if you don’t know where we are how are we going to get back?”
Suddenly Rose screamed making Donna jump.
“What? What?” she asked.
“It’s disappearing!” David said in surprise.
Donna spun around just in time to see the phone box vanish.
“Crap. I didn’t know he could do that…” she said.
“Well that’s fantastic,” Jack snapped. “Now we are stuck in the middle of nowhere without food or warm clothing in the middle of knee high snow drifts.”
“But it’s an adventure!” Donna said cheerfully. “Maybe this is where my destiny lies! Like that fortune teller lady said!”
David sighed. He was beginning to be really cold without his jacket. “Well if we are going to survive we had better try and find some signs of life.”
“How about over there?” Rose asked as she pointed to the area just past where the TARDIS had sat moments before. Now that the blue box was gone they could just make out a road sign in the distance that had previously been hidden behind it. The four siblings hurried over to it.
“Antarctica, 2 miles,” Rose read. The four turned in the direction where the sign was pointing and David fancied that he could see smoke rising out of chimneys in the distance. “Let’s hurry up and get walking before I freeze to death,” he said as he took off down the road with Rose, Jack, and Donna trailing behind.
