The girl in the TARDIS
He was heartbroken again. He walked into the TARDIS, without knowing what he was going to do next. He was lost. He pressed a few buttons, and watched as the lights started to flash. The TARDIS sound gave him peace for a few moments, but not much. He was still alone.
She was quiet. She wouldn't dare to make a sound. He would listen, and she had no idea of where she was, or who he was. She tried to make sense of those weird looking shapes that were quite familiar to her. There were flashing lights everywhere, and only the man seemed to understand them. A weird sound echoed through the air, and the man slowly walked towards the door, closing it behind him.
She stood up quietly, and carefully walked to the door as well. She opened the door just a little, and couldn't believe what was outside.
Floating mountains, rivers in the sky, and a bright purple sky waited for her. The man was out of sight, so she thought that it wouldn't be a problem if she went outside just for a minute. Her converse made a weird sound when she stepped on the ground.
"Don't be scared, it's only the screaming grass. It does that." The odd man told her. He didn't seem mad at her. Well, it wasn't her fault that she popped into the weird looking… Police box?
She walked around it several times. On the outside it was only a police box, but inside… it was much bigger.
"I knew I was dreaming! Popping inside a weird police box that is bigger on the inside is very me. Good, I thought I was going mad." She said at last. "I'll just pinch myself and wake up. That's it."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you are not dreaming. This is the TARDIS, and I'm the Doctor." The odd man said.
She pinched herself, and opened one eye at a time. She looked at the man without blinking. "But how… I was… You were… inside… where are we?"
"We are on planet Glock. A great place. Purple are the skies on winter, and green are the skies on summer. Floating mountains and rivers are everywhere. But don't try the meat. It's disgusting." He made a disgusted face that made her giggle.
"Nice to meet you, Doctor, I'm Kate" She said lifting her hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Kate" They shook hands and started walking.
The screaming grass screamed every time they sat foot on the ground. She couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm sorry, but a type of grass that screams is just fantastic!" she laughed, and hopped from one foot to another.
"It is" he chuckled, starting to hop too.
"It's like music!" she hopped starting a rhythm.
He followed her lead, and suddenly they were laughing, and their music echoed everywhere.
"But tell me, how did you end up inside the TARDIS?" The Doctor asked.
"I wish I knew. I just woke up lying there, without any memory of how I got there."
"Oh, I see. But tell me, are you scared? I mean, screaming grass purple skies… isn't another planet too much for a human?"
"Nothing is ever too much for me." She said meeting his eyes "I think I always wanted something more."
"Something more? What about flying frogs?" the Doctor asked, taking off his tweed jacket and offering it to her. "You look cold."
"Thank you" she smiled "And I would love to see some flying frogs"
