"Hello Sweetie"
Isabelle Amelia Song had spent her entire life living in an orphanage. Creating stories in her head where she lived above her anxiety, forever wishing that they would come true. Izzy gets more than she bargained for when one fateful...
The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS onto a sandy beach and spread his arms wide in excitement. Clara exited close behind him.
"Finally you got something right."
"I always get it right."
"No you really don't."
"Oh, shut up."
Clara pulled her sunglasses down from the top of her head. She was wearing a black swimsuit and a floral cover up that was wrapped around her waist. Her feet dug into the soft sand as she took off her flip flops. The doctor took off his dress shoes and socks as well. The two walked together along the shoreline.
"Wow, this place is busy." Clara said as the two rounded the corner of a rock to see a mob of people tanning, swimming, or sleeping.
"Well, let's go." The Doctor strode toward the boardwalk, his face filled with excitement.
The Doctor walked a few paces ahead of Clara. Clara was too busy taking in the sights to notice anyway. Then she heard a loud thump and a grunt come from the Doctor. When she turned back, the Doctor was lying on the ground with a little girl on top of him.
"S-Sorry," the girl quickly stammered.
She got up and helped the Doctor. It looked like she was going to say something when a scream echoed through the air. The girl and the Doctor's heads snapped up. Immediately searching for some sign of danger. They both ran, Clara followed them. In the water you could see a flash of red and a young woman being repeatedly pulled down under the water. Clara looked back at the red, it wasn't blood, it looked more like a shell of a giant crab.
"Crutoan," the Doctor said under his breath.
Before anyone could do anything however, the girl took off the black leather jacket she was wearing and her shoes and began to run toward the water. The girl dove in and disappeared under the waves.
"No!" The Doctor shouted, he ran towards the water but didn't get far before the girl reappeared, with the woman in arms.
Clara ran up and helped the girl carry the woman to a nearby towel. Lifeguards then took over, no one seemed to notice the girl back away. She picked up her jacket and shoes and began to walk off. The Doctor ran to her.
"How did you do that?"
The girl turned to face the Doctor, "Crutoans, easy. Their- their weakness is at- at the bottom of the shell."
The Doctor examined the girl. Her wet brown curly hair was pulled into a high ponytail, she had sea-foam green eyes that looked familiar to the Doctor. Her tan skin glinted in the light. The girl looked back at the Doctor with a curious look on her face.
"A-are you the- the Doctor?"
The Doctor and Clara exchanged glances.
"Yes, who are you?"
The girl reached into the pocket of the leather jacket and pulled out a dark blue envelope. On the front were two words "Hello, sweetie."
