“Welcome to New New York!”
The Doctor threw the doors of the TARIDS open and stepped aside for Gabriella to walk out. He smiled as she sensitively put her foot out before stepping outside. The Doctor followed after her, hands clasped behind her back as she looked around. It was the same New New York that he had taken Martha and Rose to a lifetime ago. Except that wasn’t why he brought her here.
Gabriella was from Queens. She knew New York like the back of her hand. What better to do then to take her away from what she knew and show her the exact same in the distant future? He beamed as she tested the snow out on the ground.
“Snow!” she cried out happily.
“Well, it is an alien planet, technically.” the Doctor explained. “New Earth isn’t exactly Earth, it’s just very close to it. So, who is to say that there can’t be snow in New New York?”
Gabriella scooped up the snow her hands then turned to the Doctor and lobbed it at him. His eyes widened and he ducked behind the large blue box. Of course the TARDIS was none to happy to be the metaphoric meat shield. He gave her a gentle pat before reaching down and scooping the snow into his hands and packing it in his hands.
The Doctor turned around the box with his arm raised. Gabriella was gone. He lowered his arm, looking to the sides and behind him. No Gabriella. Where had she gone? It wasn’t as if she was going to wander off into New New York without him. No, who was he kidding? His companions always ran off.
“Ha ha!”
He whirled around onto to find that there was snow deep down the back of his shirt. He let out his own cry, trying desperately to get the snow out. Which included flailing and trying to shake the snow out. He whirled around and lopped the snow ball at her. Gabriella let out a joyful cry and tucked behind the TARDIS. Who, still wasn’t fond of the idea.
“The TARDIS would like you to know that she isn’t a fort, Gabriella.”
“You used her first!”
“…Yes, well, I’m going to be the one hearing about it for ages!” the Doctor complained, ignoring the fact that he was the one that started it. “Let’s get some hot chocolate, eh? Before your hands freeze from space snow. I haven’t tried hot chocolate out yet. That should be an experience.”
“You’ve never had hot chocolate?”
“Well, not in this new body, no… lots of firsts still to have.” the Doctor tapped her nose. “Are you coming with me?”
“Of course.” Gabriella wrapped her arm around his and shoved one final snowball into his face.
“Gabriella Gray!” the Doctor sputtered and ran after her as she skipped down the snow covered street.
