Neighbors

At the window stood Eleven, who was observing what was outside, which was mostly fog. He wondered how Eight could spend SO much time here and not get bored. Five had told him that when Eight had first arrived, he was not getting much sleep, because he had such a great imagination. He once thought that there was the ghost of an old rich lady haunting the attic that wanted to eat all of his favorite oatmeal. Eleven supposed this was why he could sit here forever.
Soon, Eleven found himself wondering if anybody lived nearby. Three was walking past with his newspaper and coffee, so he decided to ask.
"Do we have any neighbors behind all that mist?" Eleven asked.
"Oh, sure we do. There are houses everywhere. Why, this house is part of an entire neighborhood!" Three answered.
"Really?" Eleven said.
"Yes! Next door, we have the older Star Trek characters, and next to them, there's Star Wars. Down the street live the old comedians and-"
"Old comedians?" Eleven interrupted, quite surprised.
"Oh, you know, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers. Those old fellas." Three explained.
"Where does, "He", live?" Eleven asked.
"Voldemort? Oh, he lives on the other side of the neighborhood with the Harry Potter characters. Well, anyways, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit characters are our other next door neighbors-"
"No, not Voldemort!" Eleven interrupted again.
"OHHHH... You mean the War Doctor." Three said.
"Yes!"
"Well, he lives alone in the Forgotten and Hated character development. You know, that neighborhood where Adric and Jar Jar Binks live," Three explained.
"Oh, I see."
"He visits sometimes, but not often, because Nine and Ten can't stand him," Three said.
"What do you think of him?" Eleven asked Three.
"I think he is a nice enough person, as do the rest of us Classic Doctors, including Eight. We respect him and treat him fairly. Five keeps telling him that he is always welcome, but he never does stay for long when he visits. I think he is a bit afraid of Nine and Ten."
After this conversation about the War Doctor, Eleven may have changed his mind a bit about the War Doctor. He decided that he was going to treat him as the Classic Doctors did. He wanted Nine and Ten to treat him this way too. After all, they were brothers.
