Chapter Text
It was just another day, cleaning and doing all the chores I do every single day. There was no difference. The boss was out to a meeting, I was dusting the lab. My hand skimmed over a cabinet, but I wasn’t paying attention and a pile of books and papers came crashing down. I hurried up and collected them in my arms.
But something fell out. It was a top-secret document. It lay there, open in front of my eyes. My heart sank into the deepest pit. It was my file. And like a slap to the face, all the memories came rushing back to me. After years of silencing them, they found me. And I remembered him. With a deep breath, I calmed myself down. It was the past and I had to remember that. Even still, what was he doing with my file, why was it here?
I took a seat and decided to check the file. Everything was as I expected it to be. But as I turned to the last page, it was a handwritten note from the Doctor.
“Dear Stone,
If you’re reading this then you’ve found the file. I was given it the day you began to work for me. Why did I keep it, you may ask, and you’re stupid for even thinking that. But, the reason is that it’s a reminder. Not of your past but the things you have accomplished. You are and will always be the best assistant I’ve ever had. So don’t screw up! My machines can’t make coffee as good as you!”
Reading it all, it warmed my heart. The Doctor doesn’t really express his feelings very well, but I knew exactly what it meant. He still cares. But I couldn’t help but remember. The day we met, and everything that led up to this moment. How it all started.
It all feels just like yesterday...
