Characters: Adam Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell Warnings: N/A Episode Setting: A week after “The Long Game” Summery: Adam is doing his best to find the Doctor, but is disgusted by the sickness that is humanity.
“Adam! Come do the dishes! Or do you still think that you’re to good for that? To good to almost destroy the world?!” hollered Adams mother.
She was still very angry that Adam had went to the future without asking, and then getting surgery, and then trying to steal information from the future!
“Coming Mum!” Adam said annoyed, he still couldn’t believe she was still caught up on that.
It had been last week, and every time he insisted that the surgery went fine, his mother always snapped her fingers to reveal the device planted into his head.
But it only took a few days for him to figure out how to change the code, now it only opens when he says “The Doctor in the TARDIS.”
But his Mother was still unhappy, she couldn’t believe that her son tried to steal information from the future. She had him doing all the house hold chores for a long time, especially since he was out of a job, the Dalek completely destroyed his work place, and if anyone ever found out what he did in the future…
Adam decided to look for a job elsewhere, maybe just work at a shop.
Adam sat down at his after a long day, his mother would not let him leave home until she was certain he had a nice stable job and would never try anything like that again. So for the mean time, he was stuck in his old room.
Adam pulled out his computer and started his search again, everyday he looked up the Doctor, he followed people’s web-sights that claimed sightings.
Adam vowed to one day find the Doctor again, it made him sick to think that there was another world out there, a world of time travel, and then sometimes it almost made him nauseous that the human race would amount to that, being ruled by any person who came along.
But then Adam thoughts drifted back to every time era, Humans always just follow, like a heard of sheep. He thought. But it got him thinking to all the revolutionary wars, all the rebellions when people get fed up with who is leading them down a path they don’t want to follow. And at every point in any rebellion, there was the Doctor.
He was always their, and just then Adam finally realized what ‘the Doctor’ truly meant. He is the Doctor to humanities sickness, he helps us when we can no longer help ourselves. More then ever Adam was determined to track down the Doctor, even just to apologize for the things he did. He didn’t mean to cause harm. Adam started typing key words into the search bar, Doctor, alien, TARDIS, blue box, time travel.
Maybe, just maybe, this would be the day where he found the Doctor.
