A/N: Hello faithful readers! For those of you who have read Whole New World, welcome to my drabble story full of adventures of Kristina and the Doctor! For those of you who haven't… I highly suggest you do, cos otherwise this won't make much sense. :P I have TheDoctorHarkness to thank for the brilliant title :)

Now if you don't know already, this story is just going to be a series of one shots about Kristina and the Doctor, adventures that you don't see on screen (such as what happened to the laser spanner, why Queen Liz I hates the Doctor, why the Doctor got the last room etc…), random ideas that I might have and prompts from your lovely selves! (so… start thinking of ideas guys! :) This first chapter is really just an introductory to Kristina on the TARDIS, so it's shorter than usual. But the next chapters will be longer, promise!

Disclaimer: I'm thinking of buying shares of the BBC… Then I would own a teensy weensy part of Doctor Who. It would be enough. Not really. But the point still stands!

This chapter takes place straight after The Runaway Bride and before Smith and Jones.

The One with Time Ship Exploration:

Kristina was ashamed to say that whilst the Doctor was in mourning for his best friend – she was having the time of her life. There was so much more to the TARDIS than what was seen on the show! Even when she was practically fainting on the spot she managed to spend way more time than she should have personalizing her new room. The brunette would stand in the middle of the bedroom with her eyes closed and think really hard about what she wanted it to look like and open her eyes to look about in amazement at how the TARDIS seemed to form it straight from her imagination. Kristina found this so amusing she would repeat the exercise several times over, changing up the theme, until she reached a point where she couldn't open her eyes and the TARDIS created a bed beneath her. The next morning however, (or TARDIS simulated morning), Kristina had gotten straight back up again and continued with designing her room.

Her bedroom now looked like this; the room is self was medium sized and rather than a typical box shape, it was more of an irregular hexagon-like shape. Some walls were smaller and shorter, while others were wider and taller. One wall consisted entirely of a bookshelf while another was one big fish tank filled with all sorts of exotic fish, complete with miniature treasure chests that now and then would burst open to let out a myriad of multi-coloured bubbles. (Instead of going straight up though, they chased the fish around the tank). A built in flat screen TV (of a fairly decent size – which is Kristina code for 'ridiculously huge') dominated the wall opposite the bed, underneath which was a library of DVD's ranging from the 70's to 2012. (The TARDIS wouldn't give her any future movies, 'spoilers' according to the post-it note she left) The walls which were visible were a deep TARDIS blue with the TARDIS's golden coral structures jutting out here and there. The ceiling (if it could be called that) was slightly rounded and showed a virtual picture of the space which the TARDIS happened to be floating past. The scene was always changing, from black space sprinkled with star clusters to fantastic collages of swirling galaxies and brightly coloured nebulas. The light created from the picture would light up the room in a beautiful glow mixing with the warm golden light emanating from the coral structures. The carpet was soft and thick and rich purple in colour, imbedded into it was a King Size circular bed (after the previous night Kristina had decided she liked literally falling asleep) that was very soft and covered with a fluffy purple duvet that almost blended into the carpet. Littered over the bed were numerous soft toys (in Kristina's opinion you're never too old for stuffed animals). On the other side of the room was a desk holding a state of the art 2012 Apple computer (with a courtesy post-it note saying no she can't have a 51st century computer – 'spoilers') and was already littered with papers covered in drawings and screwed-up journal entries. (Now that she was travelling through time and space Kristina reckoned it would be worthwhile to write it all down. And maybe take some pictures while she was at it.)

Two doors led out from the bedroom into an adjoining bathroom (with a hot-tub bath the size of a mini swimming pool that filled with different coloured bubbles with each button you press) and the TARDIS wardrobe. Kristina could of spent hours playing dress up in the wardrobe (she did actually), it was filled to the brim with hundreds of outfits of all sizes and designs. It covered seemingly infinite levels and had racks and racks of clothing dedicated to different era's and planets. Yet Kristina's favourite rack was a relatively small one dedicated to the Doctor's past lives' clothing. (Giggling madly she had tried on the sixth Doctor's rainbow coat).

After spending several hours adding finishing touches to her bedroom and exploring it, Kristina decided to venture out into the rest of the Time Ship. Navigation proved difficult as the TARDIS hallways were all identical and seemed to lead to nowhere. The place was like a crazy house! More than once Kristina had to backtrack after corridors had led her to dead ends or back to where she had started. Other corridors seemed to get smaller and smaller the further she went along, making her feel like she had gotten somewhat bigger; whilst others would increase in size and leave Kristina feeling like she was Alice in Wonderland. At one point she swore that the corridor had turned upside down and she was walking on the ceiling, but it was impossible to tell without getting a headache. But the new time-travellers favourite corridors were the ones that ran diagonal and were anti-gravity. Yet again, Kristina wasted much time zooming up and down and (though she never told anyone) impersonating superman and Peter Pan.

When she did finally get around to finding a room besides her own (Kristina reckoned that the TARDIS had been toying with her and had made her go in circles), it was the library. Kristina immediately dubbed it as her favourite room (besides the consol room of course) when she saw the endless towers of books looming above her and the numerous -and extremely comfortable- chairs and sofas dotted about. And the swimming pool. She knew the swimming pool was in the library, but never in her wildest imaginations (and she had a pretty wild imagination!) did she imagine this! Walking in, she had almost fallen into the pool – if it could really be called that. The only word she could use to describe it would be 'lagoon'. Slap bang in the middle of a library, not unlike one you'd see in The Beauty and the Beast (just times like, a million) a glowing -yes glowing- lagoon-shaped body over water sat innocently. Instead of a sterile blue colour like most pools, it was a soft gold that looked to be the same colour as the rest of the ship. The water itself wasn't chlorine but a clear, sparkling liquid that looked so pure and light that Kristina was lead to believe it wasn't water at all, that and the fact that she could breathe in it. This little titbit of information had been discovered by the brunette when she had decided to test it for a swim and had accidentally breathed sharplyin shock when she had seen that underwater –the pool had kept on going. Straight through underneath the library and on, it seemed to go on forever into the belly of the time ship. The TARDIS coral structures had continued on as well, emitting the same golden glow lighting up the sparkling interior. After asserting that no - she had not just drowned and, yes - the water did seem to be just as alien as the rest of the ship, Kristina decided to keep on swimming through until she either ended up somewhere or came to a dead end to the 'pool'.

Her quest brought her to the TARDIS archives. Kristina had a sneaking suspicion that the old ship had purposely led her there, but it still came as a major shock when her head finally broke through the liquid she found herself underneath another consol room. To be precise, the next one. It looked even more amazing than in series 5 and 6 of the show, Kristina half expected the 11th Doctor to swagger in with Amy and Rory. When they didn't (they could have, who knew what weird time-warping effect there is on the ship) she had begun to examine the consol gleefully and even dared to press a few buttons. (The Wibbly Lever!) After an hour of mucking about, her growling stomach had drawn Kristina away from the future consol room. She was extremely reluctant as she knew it would probably be the last time she ever saw the place, unless she somehow managed to hang around till the next regeneration. Taking one last sweeping look around the majestic room, Kristina left through another archway mentally asking the TARDIS to direct her to the kitchen.

As kitchens go, the TARDIS' one was pretty normal. It had the basics – a fridge, a toaster (though with a few scary looking extra bits), a microwave, a kettle, table and chairs etc… Just with added futuristic stuff, some of which Kristina couldn't make heads or tails of or was to scared to touch. What did make her laugh was when she found a couple of gadgets she swore were out of 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. After sticking her face into one such contraption that made whatever food you were craving, she continued on her exploration with a full belly of the nachos with extra salsa and cheese. (And a piece of toast that she had made just for fun with the toasting knife.)

Several hours later Kristina collapsed onto her bed-in-the-floor in exhaustion after inspecting all the rooms she could on the ship. So far she had found; the games room (seeming to have every game invented in time and space, yet another happy hour spent), the anti-gravity room (weeeee!), the garden (more like forest that went on forever, complete with mountains, lakes and waterfalls), the simulator room (took her a while to figure out – but you stand inside and think of something, a situation, a memory or a dream, and it comes to life around you. Kristina wondered how many times the Doctor came in here to relive past memories), the movie room (name sums it up), a bowling alley, a running track (Kristina got out pretty quickly, she didn't mind running with the Doctor, but otherwise she avoided the activity like the plague) and numerous other interesting or otherwise rooms. The time ship seemed to go on forever! She found everything... except the Doctor. A couple times she caught a glimpse of a familiar suited figure walking down a corridor, and at one point disappearing into a room with a rose carved onto the door, but the TARDIS had blocked them all off before she could follow. Kristina was okay with that – she was the one to suggest alone time after all. The closest she came to running into the Timelord was when she had arrived at a locked door. Carved into the dark wood were circular runes that Kristina recognised as Gallifreyan and had quickly come to the conclusion that they probably read as the Doctor's name. She had swiftly left after realizing that she had found an even more secret place than the future consol room.

Now, after a long day happily spent, Kristina snuggled deep into her covers and stared up at the simulated starry sky above her blinking sleepily. 'One really could spend an entire lifetime, never leaving this ship.' She thought. 'Yet who would, with all of time and space complete with all the wonders of the universe right outside?' And with that the purple girl fell asleep dreaming of the stars.

A/N: I had way to much fun writing this! Yes, I know it's short. But I have always wanted to find out what the TARDIS is like beyond the consol room, so this was a good opportunity to find out :). I hope you enjoyed it too! I'm sorry that there wasn't much (any) Doctor, but he's in mourning at the moment so it wouldn't of read very well if I wrote him in as well. Next one-shot will be up soon! It will also be set before 'Smith and Jones' and will be set at another Christmas… :D So look out for that! (It'll be longer than this drabble, hopefully.)

So long my lovelies! Until next time…

PS And if you didn't get the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference, the machine that detected and made what you were craving to eat and the toasting knife came from the movie :). If you haven't seen it you really should! Martin Freeman… SO CUTE I WANNA GIVE HIM A HUG! :D Plus there's a Doctor Who line! (Or maybe in Doctor Who it was a HGttG line…) If you can spot it then virtual cookie for you! (Not in this story, the movie :P)

PPS And yes, I am using Friends themed chapter titles :P

PPPS Review!
