Chapter One

"Shhhhh…"

The Doctor looked back at Rose, as they stood outside the walled city of the Daleks on New Skaro.

"Doctor, are you sure you wanna do this?" Rose whispered.

He peeked around the corner of the wall and saw a lone Dalek guarding the entrance to the city. He listened for a moment and grinned when he heard soft, metallic snoring coming from the Dalek.

"I didn't know Daleks sleep," the Doctor muttered to himself. "Heh, learn something new every day."

"Doctor."

He looked back at her.

"I'll be alright. Don't worry about me. I just wanna play this one little prank, and then we'll be off."

Rose sighed and peeked around the wall, as the Doctor crept towards the sleeping Dalek. He paused a moment and stifled his laughter, as he affixed a piece of paper to the back of it. Standing up, he waited a moment more, listening to the soft snoring, and then, with a grin, he raised his hand and slammed it down hard on the top of the Dalek.

"TAG, YOU'RE IT!" he screamed.

He giggled, as he watched the confused Dalek wake and began to swivel his eyestalk around. He waved when the eyestalk finally focused on him.

"IT IS THE DOC-TOR!" the Dalek screamed.

"CORRECT-O-MUNDO!"

He grimaced.

"Oh blast, I used that word again!" he muttered.

He patted the Dalek on the head and ran into the city.

"IT IS THE DOC-TOR!" the Dalek said, giving chase. "HE MUST BE EX-TER-MIN-A-TED. STOP HIM! ALERT! ALERT! THE DOC-TOR IS NEAR-BY. HE…OW!"

The Dalek stopped short when he felt a laser blast hit him in the back. He swiveled around and saw a Dalek hurrying away from him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DO-ING?" he said, to the Dalek. "YOU JUST SHOT ME! PAY AT-TEN-TION. THE DOC-TOR IS NEAR. HE…OW!!"

He swiveled back around when he felt another laser blast hit his back and saw another Dalek hurrying off.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" he demanded. "WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING AT ME! SHOOT THE DOC-TOR. HE…OW!!!"

He swiveled around when he felt another laser blast and was about to chase the offending Dalek when he was shot in the back again.

"WHAT IS GO-ING ON?" he said, swiveling back around. "WHY ARE YOU SHOOT-ING AT ME? I AM NOT THE DOC-TOR, ID-I-OTS! THE DOC-TOR IS GET-TING AWAY! SHOOT HIM! OW!!!!"

The Dalek let out a stream of Dalek curse words, when he felt another laser blast on his back. By now, the Daleks were giggling, as they hurried away from him.

"I WILL RE-PORT YOU ALL! THIS IS NOT FUN-NY! I AM ONE OF YOU! QUIT SHOOTING AT ME! I…"

He swiveled around and noticed a piece of paper floating to the ground beside him. Curious, he glided over and focused his eyestalk on it. It said in big, bold letters…

SHOOT ME

The Dalek stared at it for a moment in confusion, and then, it suddenly dawned on him.

"DAMN YOU DOC-TOR!" he screamed. "I WILL GET YOU FOR THAT."

He looked around at his fellow Daleks who by now were all laughing hysterically.

"I WILL RE-PORT YOU ALL! THAT IS NOT FUN-NY! YOU LET THE DOC-TOR GET AWAY! I WILL NOT BE MADE FUN OF!"

Mumbling curses, he glided away, as the Daleks jeered and taunted him.

Meanwhile…

"Oh man, that was great!" the Doctor said, as he got into the TARDIS and shut the door. "The Daleks are great for practical jokes!"

"You're just a big kid, you know that." Rose said.

"Yup, I am," he replied.

He kissed her on the top of the head.

"Now, let's get out of here before the Daleks find us."

He paused.

"Let's go find Jack, in fact. He's always good for a laugh."

The TARDIS dematerialized into thin air, as loud Dalek cursing filled the air of New Skaro.
