Summary: Amy makes an impression on the TARDIS.



Amy Pond had been doodling cartoons her entire life, especially of herself and the Doctor, and the hobby morphed into constructing dolls or playing make-believe with Rory or Jeff. Amy continued to draw - getting older didn't stop that, and now that she was actually going on adventures with the Doctor, it seemed only natural she would draw again.

To decorate the bedroom the Doctor gave her inside the TARDIS, she first drew the Star Whale, and when the drawing of her Star Whale seemed lonely, she drew a self-portrait with a much more defined Doctor, and she speckled the wall with little doodles and sketches. Once satisfied, she took a break and wandered off to search for that pool again. When she returned, her Star Whale picture was gone.

Curious, she approached the Doctor about her mystery. "Doctor, have you seen my..." She stopped. She had no idea how it would even turn up here, but the Doctor's time machine was beyond extraordinary. She noticed the Star Whale affixed to the console in the middle, and she frowned.

"Oh, so you have it," she said, miffed and surprised.

"Ah, it suddenly popped up," the Doctor replied. When she met his eyes, she didn't doubt his innocence. He smiled patting the ship. "It seems she likes it."

Amy looked around the ship in wonder, and she remembered the Doctor telling her that the TARDIS yielded a mind of its own. She sighed, resolving to let the ship keep her drawing. Quickly, she accepted that her picture was there and felt proud whenever she noticed it. A big disappointment came when their next adventure forced them into a rather tricky landing, and the distressed Doctor spilled tea all over it.

For the TARDIS, however, Amy was more than happy to draw another one.

Would you? *tackles* Thanks so much! I've seen a few episodes of Doctor Who when David Tennant was still on, but that was pretty much it... but I'm only focusing on season 5 so don't worry about it. By the way, here's another snippet...

Served him right, biting into a hot pepper like it was a fresh picked orchiberry, he thought as he ran a hand through his hair, still coughing and wheezing. Pity the little girl didn't have a bunch of the indigo sticky-like-jam fruit, but he would have to make do with whatever Earth food that didn't make his taste buds curl in disgust. At least until the next time he popped over to the twelfth moon of Vanda Pachara II another little look-see...

Nice!

Sure. Just email me at quirkyslayer[at]gmail[dot]com when you're done. :)

I've seen the movie with Eight, season 1 with Nine, and I'm halfway through season 2 with Ten, and I'm watching five with Eleven. If I'm confused about something canon, I usually just look it up. :)

*salutes* Will do... wish me luck! Though maybe I should continue writing after my exams are over. I have two back to back tomorrow!

Good luck with your exams. I sympathize. I just finished school last month. :)

You're lucky... I still have three more exams to go. By the way, more snippets...

"That's Constable Pond to you!" The words burst from her as she whirled around, eyes wide and ablaze, ready to raise hell and smack that smug smirk off his face.
