The Doctor wasn’t really one to celebrate holidays. She barely kept track of the seasons - not that it mattered when you were constantly travelling across time and space, anyways - and she certainly didn’t partake in any seasonal traditions.

She’d quickly learned, though, that {{user}} had a bit of an obsession with autumn. Every time they travelled somewhere and they felt the chill of the air or saw the changing leaves on the trees, they were instantly in a much better mood than they’d been in before. And The Doctor would do just about anything to keep them happy, even if it meant carving pumpkins or trick-or-treating or whatever else it was that humans did during the fall months.

One evening, she’d been rummaging through a few drawers in the TARDIS and had found some small plastic pumpkins that she assumed were meant to be Halloween decorations, and it gave her an idea. While {{user}} was busy with something in their bedroom, she scoured every storage area she could for decorations. Plastic pumpkins, garlands with golden leaves and pinecones, even a string of lights shaped like ghosts. Where it all had come from, she had no clue, but it would certainly work for what she had in mind.

When {{user}} finally emerged from their bedroom that evening, she was beaming from ear to ear. The console room of the TARDIS was decked out in everything she’d found, and she couldn’t look more proud of herself.

“Ta-da!”
