The beautiful brand new TARDIS gleamed in the light of the twin suns. Theta opened the door and stepped inside. The white interior was a slight shock from being out in the suns for so long, but it was beautiful nonetheless. He ran his hand along the console. The column rose and fell a few feet, welcoming him home.

Theta, the TARDIS whispered in his mind. Theta wake up.

"Theta!"

Theta jumped up and the class laughed. He looked up to see Chancellor Brom staring at him. It wasn't a nice thing to wake up to, with his piercing black eyes and his awfully large nose.

"I'm so sorry to disturb your sleep, Theta," Chancellor Brom hissed.

"Sleeping? Me?" Theta asked, pretending to be shocked. "Of course not, sir! I would never sleep in your class! Especially during your extremely interesting lecture about..." He quickly glanced at the desk in front of him to see Korchei mouth 'Oods.' "Oods." He finished.

The Chancellor was obviously not amused. "Then if you find Oods so interesting, maybe you should do an essay on them. Ten pages. Ten-thousand words. Due tomorrow."

"A ten page essay due tomorrow?" Theta shouted. "Sir, that's impossible!"

"Do you want to make it twenty?"

Theta sighed. "No sir."

"Very well then. A ten page essay on my desk before class starts." Chancellor Brom walked back to the front of the class. "Now your homework for tonight is..."

Theta leaned forward and whispered in Korchei's ear. "I'm taking the TARDIS exam again today."

"Again?" Korchei whispered back. "You know if you fail this one they will make you wait twenty years for your next one?"

"I know. That's why I won't fail this one." Theta said confidently.

"...class dismissed." Chancellor Brom announced and everyone filed out of the room. "Don't forget that essay, Theta." He said as Theta was about to leave.

"I won't." Theta told him and left before he could say anything else.


Theta was trying very hard not to fall asleep, especially since he was trying to get on Madame Henna's on his good side. She was the TARDIS instructor. But it was dark in the classroom and all she could talk about was a new planet that had sprung up.

"It's very interesting you see..." And she gestured to the projection of a planet on the screen. "We don't get a lot of new planets these days and this one came up very fast. Researchers are calling it Skaro after the word Skaropium meaning 'mysterious.' No sign of life has been found yet, however, we are anxiously awaiting the day there is. Now Romana can you turn the lights back on for us?"

A blonde girl sitting in the back got up and flicked the switch.

"Who is interested in taking their TARDIS exam today?" Madame Henna asked the class. A few people, including Theta, raised their hands. "Good, if you five would follow me over to the TARDIS..." She walked over to a coat rack and opened the door. They all went inside and the coat rack disappeared.

Five seconds later the coat rack appeared again, this time when Madame Henna opened the door smoke poured out and she and four students came out coughing.

Theta followed a moment later. "I'm so sorry! I can fix it, I can! Please just give me one more chance!" He begged Madame Henna.

"I have given you enough chances," She said between coughs. "Now get out of my classroom."

"But Madame-"

"OUT!" She yelled, which set off a new round of coughing.

Theta ran out. He ran out of the building and kept running. He didn't know where he was going, he was just so mad and embarrassed that he wanted to get as far away from the Academy as possible. His lungs screamed at him to stop and he finally slowed down. He looked around at where he was and found that he was by a TARDIS junkyard. Interested, he walked inside.
