Hello. If you are reading this that must mean you are traveling with the Doctor. CONGRATULATIONS! He has seen you as worthy of showing the universe.If you plan to continue traveling with the Doctor, then TRUST ME, YOU WILL NEED THIS if you are to survive. This book will tell you all the important things that the Doctor doesn't tell you. Feel free to add to this Book for the benefit of future companions. Good Luck!

1. This is the number one rule. The Golden Rule. This rule is so important that we have put it first: The Universe is big. The Doctor's ego is bigger.

2. the Doctor speaks the language technobabble (tek-no-bab-el) - the process of speaking at ninety miles an hour and throwing in lots of complicated phrases and technical terms that only the speaker understands.If you do not understand what he is saying, that is okay. Even if he looks at you like you just dribbled down your shirt that is okay. Just smile and nod and hope for the best.

3. Regeneration. The Doctor never finds time to explain this. The Doctor is a Timelord. Not a human, however human he may look. Timelords have this trick, a way of cheating death. But it means that they change. Change face, body, voice, and in the Doctor's case, outfits, even how old they look. Timelords have twelve regenerations. That means they have thirteen lives. So if the Doctor says something was lifetimes age, it literally was lifetimes ago.

4. You. You are not the doctor's first traveling companion, nor will you be his last. The Doctor will live for hundreds of years and he gets lonely traveling around Time and Space alone. Do not think that you are an individual. You are just one in a long line of traveling companions. But don't worry. He never forgets a single one.

5. Yes, we know the T.A.R.D.I.S. is bigger on the inside than on the outside. Get over it.

6. the Doctor is on the run from his fellow Timelords on the planet Gallifrey so don't ask to see his home planet because you will be met with either excuses of an evil glare.

7. the doctor's favorite planet is earth, so if you find yourself spending a lot of time there don't worry. He's not trying to get rid of you.

8. THE DOCTOR DOESN'T DO DOMESTIC. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

9. the doctor loves jellybabies.

10. don't be surprised if the Doctor pulls the most random things out of his pockets. they, like the T.A.R.D.I.S., are bigger on the inside.

11. For medical reference, the doctor has two hearts which normally beat at 170 beats per minute.

12. He has an internal body temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.

13 the Doctor also has a respiratory bypass system that allows him to survive strangulation and the like.

14.Time Lords can go into a healing coma which lowers their body temperature to below freezing. if this happens, DON"T PANIC.

15.Time Lords, or at least the Doctor, can read extremely quickly so if he picks up a book, flips through it and says he is done, you can believe him.

16. the Doctor is deadly allergic to aspirin. It. Will. Kill. Him. So if you have a headache, take tylenol.

17. the Doctor is impossible. get over it.

this is my first doctor who fic so i thought I'd do something simple. if you want a rule put up in the next chapter, then you will have to review and tell me what it is.
