The Tale Of Time {Doctor Who X Reader}

London 2012

The average neighbourhood street was usually nothing out of the ordinary. Kids playing in the garden, residents taking a pleasant day's stoll

The Olympics was due to begin soon, starting with the lighting of the torch. Due to it passing this specific street, it was ensured everything was spic and span which is what led to the road being repaired after the tarmac was unknowingly damaged.

The only thing out of the ordinary was the missing kid's posters coating the streetlamps.

An elderly woman trails down the street, looking disturbed as she watches the kids playing football in their garden.

"Maeve? You okay?" A woman asks as she puts the trash out.

"No, love. I'm not." She replies.

"You want me to call a doctor?" The woman asks concerned.

"Doctor can't help." The elderly woman looks around at the surrounding houses. "Can't...can't you feel it, Trish?"

"I can't feel anything." Trish shrugs.

The elderly woman turns to the boys in their garden. "Boys...get indoors! Get inside! Get 'em inside!" She says as she waddles towards them.

"What's up with you?" The boy's dad asks as he stops washing his car. "They ain't doing nothing wrong."

"It's happening again!" The elderly woman stresses. "They're not safe!"

"They're in the garden!" The dad reassures.

"That's what it likes! It likes it when they're playing! Get 'em in! I'm begging you!" The elderly woman pleads.

"Right, I've got my beady eyes on 'em." The dad reassures as he ushers the elderly woman down the road. "Come on, come on."

One of the boys kicks the football towards his brother when suddenly he was gone. "No!" The elderly woman shouts.

"Tom?" The dad shouts panicked. "Tom!"

"What are you?" The elderly woman shouts.

"Where's he gone?" The dad asks as he jogs to where he last saw his son.

"What do you want with our children?" The elderly woman asks.

The TARDIS materialises between two blue cargo containers. Opening the doors, the Doctor notices his parking error. "Ah." He says. "Um, gorgeous?"

"You parked her the wrong way again?" {Y/N} asks teasingly.

"Yep."

The Doctor closes the door. Allowing {Y/N} to turn the ship around. Opening the doors, a second time, the Doctor steps out. "Aah!" he sighs.

Rose, steps out after him, looking around in confusion before noticing a row of posters stating Shayne Ward The Greatest Hits. "So, near future, yeah?" Rose asks.
