Fish Fingers And Custard

      Walking into the kitchen, Amelia was holding out a towel towards the strange, dripping man. Letting go of Aubrielle's hand he grabbed the towel from Amelia and began to ruffle his already messy hair with it. Aubrielle went and stood next to her sister's side before remembering his request.

    "If you're a doctor, then why does your box say police?" Amelia asked as Aubrielle ran and grab an apple for the strange man. She handed the man the apple that he had asked for. Biting into the apple confidently, before spitting it out just as fast.

   "That's disgusting, what is it?" He asked the girls.

   "An apple," Aubrielle replied confused with his outburst.

   "Apples are rubbish, I hate apples." The man frowned as the girls stared at him.

   "But you said you loved them," Amelia said somewhat annoyed.

     The Doctor thought for a beat before opening his mouth once again. "No. No. No. Yogurt is my favorite, give me yogurt." Amelia moved her feet to the fridge and pulled out a fresh cup of yogurt for the man to try. They watched as he poured the cup of yogurt into his mouth with incredibly fast speed. Just as fast as the yogurt entered his mouth it came out just as fast. With a look of utter repulsion on his face, he said, " I hate yogurt, it's just stuff with bits in it."

    "But you said it was your favorite," Aubrielle said with her head tilted to the side and eyes wide with confusion.

    "New mouth, new rules. It's like eating after you've brushed your teeth, everything tastes wrong. Aargh!" The raggedy looking man started to twitch violently.

    "What's wrong with you?" Amelia said worried for the man. Aubrielle then ran up to the man and put a hand on his shoulder. "You're not okay are you?" She whispered to him.

    "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? Why can't you cook me any decent food? You're Scottish, fry me something." He said to Amelia before looking down at Aubrielle. 

"I'm okay, I promise." He said to her softly. 

He picked up his towel once again and resumed to the best of his ability to get dry. Amelia is at the stove with her younger sister frying bacon.

      Once it was ready, she put it on a plate before laying it out in front of him on the kitchen table. "Ah! Bacon!" he said in happiness, digging into his food. Aubrielle is sitting next to him giggling at his child-like manner. The girls are soon disappointed when he spits it back onto the plate.

     "Bacon? That's bacon? Are you trying to poison me?" he asked the girls warily. Amelia sighs, thinking of something to cook for him before deciding on beans. "Ah, you see? Beans." The man said in delight as he shoved a spoonful into his mouth. These baked beans did not last as long as the girls thought they would. He rushed to the sink and spat them out quickly. "Beans are evil. Bad, bad beans," he told the girls seriously.

    As he sat back in his seat Aubrielle make him a butter and bread sandwich. "Bread and butter, now you're talking," he said to Aubrielle with a gentle but thankful smile. As soon as it came it went as he violently through-out the sandwich, hitting a poor cat in the process. "And stay out," he shouted at it before slamming the door.

     "We've got carrots?" Amelia stated in a questioning way as he walked towards her saying, "Carrots? Are you insane? No. Wait, hang on. I know what I need. I need, I need, I need fish fingers and....custard." He told the girls already in the fridge and pulling the items out. He then sorted out his strange dish as the three sat down to eat.

    Aubrielle and the Doctor sitting next to each other as Amelia sat across from them. The Doctor is dipping his fish fingers into his custard, and Amelia is eating ice cream straight from the tub with the scoop. The Doctor offers one of his fish fingers to Aubrielle after dipping it in the custard. She takes it mumbling as quiet thank you. She takes a bite humming in content. 

"This is good." She states after she's done. The Doctor smiles in appreciation while Amelia looks at her in disgust.

    "Funny." Amelia commented, looking at the Doctor take a big dip of custard.

     "Am I? That's good. Funny's good. What are your names?" He finally asked, enjoying his meal.

     "I'm Amelia Pond and this is my baby sister Aubrielle Pond," Amelia said gesturing to her younger sister with her hand as the Doctor smiled at them. "Brillant names, Amelia and Aubrielle Pond. Names from a fairy tale." He told them. "Are we in Scotland Aubrielle?" He questioned the younger sister.

     "No, we had to move to England." She answered softly.

     "It's rubbish." Her older sister added on fiercely.

       Although moving to England bothered her sister, Aubrielle actually like it here. Sure, she missed home but she likes this place as well. "So what about your mum and dad? I thought we would have woken them up by now." the raggedy man said looking up at the ceiling in wonder.

    The girls looked at their feet for a moment before Aubrielle spoke up. "We don't have a mum or dad, just an Aunt."

    "I don't even have an Aunt." The doctor told the girls trying to make them smile. 

"You're lucky," Amelia said even though both girls knew she was lying. 

"I know." The Doctor told them. "So, where is your Aunt?"

    "She's out." Aubrielle told the odd man making him stare at them in shock. "And she left you two here all alone?"

     "We're not scared," Amelia said for the both of them defensively. Making Aubrielle nod her head too.

      "Well, of course, you're not. Box falls out of the sky. Man falls out of the box. Man eats fish custard and looks at you two, just sitting there. So do you want to know what I think?" He asked them.

      "What?" Aubrielle questioned softly.

      "It must be one hell of a scary crack in your wall." He said before silence took over the lot of them. 

Amelia jumped up from her chair with her sister and ran upstairs to show the man the crack in their wall.
