The girl was walking with a backpack on. She glanced over her shoulder, looking out for a pursuer. The sound of the trees stirring made her jump. It wasn't just that, there was one of the weirdest noises; it made her shiver and hide behind a bush. The noise stopped and she peered around to see a blue police box had appeared. A man leaped out. He was skinny and was wearing a fez. A FEZ! He wore a brown suit jacket, black pants and a red bowtie that stood out like his suspenders on his white shirt. She edged forward as he pulled something out of his pocket and started sweeping it through the air. It buzzed and he paused as it swept past her bush and then he slipped it back into his pocket.
He walked over and started saying, "I know you're there, I picked you up on my sonic screwdriver. That's that metal thing. Hello, I am not going to harm you."
She shifted as she heard him stop behind the bush and decided that there was no point in just sitting there. "That's what they all say: I won't hurt you, well you won't trick me I will not be taken again, not again." The girl said.
The man sighed and shifted, "If I wanted to take you I would have, you're not running and you are sitting behind a bush. So are you going to come out or am I going to have to come round?"
She rose, "I'm coming."
He was standing there smiling and as she looked, she saw another man in his place. This man was wearing a blue suit, a long brown coat and had spikey hair. He changed again, then again, then again, he changed eleven times in total. She staggered backwards then blinked until he came back into focus but he was not alone. Now behind him were faint images, some clearer than others, she estimated about thirty-seven. The two clearest were a girl with red hair and a boy with brown hair. She then saw the box flicker with different designs before she fainted.
"Well that went well," Muttered the Doctor.
Thea opened her eyes and groan in pain because of the hard ground beneath her. She glanced to her write qukly and saw the man there next to a console.
"Hey, it's good to see you conscious. I have no idea why you fainted so I took you into the TARDIS, that's the big blue box."Said the man.
She sat up from where she was lying on the floor. Looking around at the massive room she saw it changing too, circles appeared on the walls, the room kept on seeming to change shape.
"STOP IT, JUST STOP IT" she screamed out and ran to the ever changing door. She ripped it open to find they were floating above the earth; she threw herself backwards in an attempt to stop falling out. She felt a hand grab the back of her shirt and pull her back in, just as her feet slipped.
"Well, I was hoping you would be impressed or surprised, or you could have said that line…. Though I think you're one of the first to almost fall out of the TARDIS, well done. Also may I ask what needs to be stopped?" The man said sitting her back on the floor, He glanced at her and saw she had her eyes closed. "Are you ok?"
She shook her head, "I need to get out of this box it has too many pasts, to many different versions. Get me out of here; put me back on that planet." She pointed in the general direction of the door.
"Oh, I thought you were trying to run away, I guess I could. Where would you like me to drop you, and more importantly, when?" She heard him running to the control panel and start flicking switches.
"When? What do you mean when…. Wait this is a time machine, cool. I must ask you to put on a general, elemental setting. Most things have one. I need it to have no past forms, unlike the current one that has many." She rose finding the rail and dragged herself up the stairs. She heard the man sigh
"But the underlying setting is no fun, all boring and simple." He flicked a few switches as the girl found her way into his chair.
"There you go the most boring setting it has, never used this before and activate." He hit a button with a loud bang and the girl fell down, the chair was gone.
"Thanks for warning me" she said as she stood up opening her eyes and brushing herself off. "Thanks. I get a horrible headache when things change a lot. Or faint, that was a first." He gave her a weird look,
"Well, glad that's sorted now where am I dropping you?" He said looking around unimpressed by his surroundings. He looked at her again and saw her staring at him with a glazy look. "What?" he asked. She blinked looked around him in the same out-of-it look.
"Who are these people and why are you changing like that. You are one person with many faces and I can't do it… please get me out of here." She broke the gaze and took a few steps back. The man glanced around,
"What people, and how are you seeing my other regenerations. Are they my companions, my friends?" He spun and starred around him. He turned back to her as she sank to the ground.
"It's a gift." she muttered starring at the ground. "Do you think you put up mental walls blocking off the past you's and your companions. I can't look up at you until you do so." She looked at the floor around her.
"Sure give me a minute." He sank down too and sat silently for a minute before he stood up. "Done." He said after he had move around a bit. She looked up and saw the man she first saw with a smile she said; "Thanks."
He smiled back "That's okay, let's start over. I'm the Doctor."
She rose and said; "Timothea Lady Doctor."
