Everyone was walking around in a Christmas mood but he, that mysterious man was just standing there, watching everyone else.
She walked op to him and asked him what was wrong.
“I’m looking for a new person to travel with”, he said.
“And you just pick up random people and travel with them?” she asked confused.
“Yes, I’m lonely, I need some company” he answered.
“And you just go and pick random people up, why don’t you just bring friends or family with you?” she asked.
“I don’t just pick them up, I introduce myself, tell them what I have to offer and ask them if they want to come.” He answered slightly annoyed
“Who are you then, what do you have to offer?” she asked curiously.
“I’m the Doctor, I’m a time lord from a planet called Gallifrey, I can travel trough time and space with my spaceship which is called the TARDIS” he said.
She bursts in to laughing.
“Are you drunk? Do you realize what you just said?” she replied laughing.
“I perfectly realize what I just said, in the 1200 years that I traveled I have never found anyone who would start laughing when I told them who I was.” He said a bit insulted.
“Then show me you’re ‘triandis’ thing, if you are so convinced that you are what you say you are” she said, still laughing.
“First of all she is called the TARDIS, it stands for time and relevant dimension in space, follow me if you want to see her and be nice to her” The Doctor said walking forwards the alleyway where he parked the TARDIS.
“Her? Don’t you mean it and why would I be nice to a time machine that probably doesn’t even work” she said trying to follow the Doctor.
The Doctor sighted and continues walking.
“He she, the TARDIS” he said proudly.
“This is your spaceship! It’s a box! A police box from the 1960s!” she said staring at the TARDIS.
The Doctor opened the door and got inside.
“Come on, what are you waiting for?” he said exited.
“In there? In your box? With you” she said with a confused look on her face
“Yes! Come on, it’s going to be fun!” the Doctor said walking towards the control panel.
She decided to get into the TARDIS: “It… it’s bi-bigger on the inside.”
The Doctor smiled: “Yes it is, so where do you want to go, future or past, earth or space, your choice.”
She stumbled: “I-I don’t know, I kind of like history so let’s go to the past, let’s see if this thing works.”
“Of course it works! By the way I don’t believe you told me your name yet, so what’s your name?” he said running around the control panel.
“It’s Danielle, Danielle Hunter. She said.
“Ooh Danielle, I like that. By the way, I would look for something to hold onto” the Doctor said flipping a final switch.
“Why? Wha…” Danielle couldn’t finish her sentence because she had already fallen on the floor.
The Doctor started laughing and said: “Told ya!”
He helps her up and opens the TARDIS doors.
“It’s September 1504, Michelangelo's sculpture of David has been erected in Florence, Leonardo Da Vinci is in the middle of painting the Mona Lisa and we are here standing in ancient Rome. What do you want to do?” the Doctor asked excited.
Danielle was looking around, shocked she was actually in 1504 thereby not hearing the Doctor.
The Doctor tabbed on her shoulder and said: “Are you coming, I want to know where all those people are staring at.”
The Doctor was pointing at a large crowd all trying to look at something.
They tried to get a closer to the thing everyone was looking at but they were unsuccessful.
The Doctor walked away from the crowd and said: “We should try again tonight, there is too much people here right now.”
“Do we have a place to sleep, does the TARDIS have beds or something like that?” Danielle asked.
“We could sleep in the TARDIS or we could not do that and just set or destination to this place but then at night” the Doctor said walking towards the alleyway where he parked the TARDIS.
Danielle followed him and got inside the TARDIS.
The Doctor quickly flipped some switches and landed the TARDIS again, 12 hours later at the same place.
The Doctor got outside the TARDIS but got back in to grab a flashlight.
“There it is”, the Doctor pointed at the place where just a second ago a couple of dozen people were standing.
The Doctor and Danielle walked towards the place where the Doctor was pointing at.
“It appears to be some kind of smoke, black smoke just flying around” the Doctor said observing the smoke.
The Doctor scanned the smoke with his sonic and said: “It’s alive.”
“It’s alive? You have got to be kidding, what is that scanning thing anyways?” Danielle said still not fully trusting the Doctor.
He looked at her and said: “Scanning thing? This is a sonic screwdriver and it is…”
He couldn’t finish his sentence because the smoke was moving towards them at an impossible speed.
The Doctor grabbed Danielle’s hand and started running. But he was too late, the smoke surrounded him and he started feeling dizzy and he fell to the ground.
Danielle screamed but didn’t move, how was she going to get back home without him?
The Doctor got up, his eyes where pure black, out of his mouth came a dark red liquid which might be blood and his nails were razor sharp. This wasn’t the Doctor, it was the black smoke in his body.

The Doctor’s mouth opened and a low unnatural voice started talking: “Finally I found someone smart enough and strong enough, I can finally live on in the body of this man I can finally continue doing what I was born for.”
Danielle was startled, she tried running away but the thing controlling the Doctor grabbed her jacket with his sharp nails leaving a very painful wound.
Suddenly she heard the Doctor’s voice: “I’m sorry, this wasn’t supposed to happen, I should never have brought you here in the first place.”
Danielle looked at the Doctor, his pure black eyes stared at her, filled with regret.
She wanted to run away, get help but all she did was stare, stare at the dead look in his eyes, she wanted to help him. She didn’t know why, she barely even knew him but she had this feeling he was so important to her and all of mankind. This man had to live. If only she knew what to do, how was she going to get rid of the smoke?
The Doctor moved his hand into the pocket of his jacket, he was trying to grab his sonic screwdriver but the smoke was rejecting. He was in a fight with is own arm but he was strong and managed to grab the sonic. But after that the smoke took over and the sonic fell on the ground. Danielle didn’t know what to do but what she did know was that she was going to need the screwdriver. She picked it up from the floor and tried to get it working, unsuccessfully.
After a lot of trying she finally got the screwdriver to shine it’s green light.
She smiled, she might be able to save the Doctor.
The Doctor screamed, did she do it? Did she get rid of the smoke?
The Doctor started coughing and fell to the floor.
“Doctor!” Danielle said bending over to see if he was alright.
The Doctor coughed: “Thanks, I couldn’t have done it without you.”
Danielle reached out her hand to the Doctor to help him up.
“Thanks again, I could’ve died if it wasn’t for you or worse, I could have killed people. You really are a hunter, a smoke hunter, a smunter!” said the Doctor smiling.
Danielle started laughing: “Smunter?”
“Do you prefer Huke then?” The Doctor told her, laughing.
He few people got outside to see why there where people screaming and laughing in the middle of the night but the Doctor and Danielle didn’t seem to care.
They saw the people staring at them and decided to leave, back to the TARDIS, back home or maybe on another adventure.
