Chapter One: Let it Begin

It was just another day in the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions In Space), and it was too quiet, and he didn't like it.

He needed music. Any music, all kinds of music played all at once and it blared, making the sound barrier unknown. "Allons-y!" he shouted as he danced across the console room.

"Docta'!" shouted Rose, "Please keep it down, trying to get some sleep here!"She came around the corner in her night clothes.

"So, so sorry Rose, I was just bored with this rubbish room," he shouted at the TARDIS. She(The TARDIS) grumbled back at him.

"Oh, just wait, don't leave, take this you'll need it," he said as he took off his overcoat and handed it to her. She put it on and it dragged the ground, and as she turned to go back to bed The Doctor turned down the music.

There was a cold chill on the way back. The Doctor was right. She pulled the overcoat tighter around her body. She made it back to the Bedroom with tons of bunk beds, hammocks, twin beds, camping cots, and a whole arrange of strange beds that The Doctor had collected over the years of traveling. She jumped back into her twin bed and snuggled up under the covers, then pulled the overcoat up over her head. His smell was wonderful, and immediately she fell asleep.

The Doctor still sit in the console room messing with knobs and switches, maybe, sometimes, buttons, all trying to get the heat back. The TARDIS had been through a lot, so her systems were wearing down.

"You can do this beautiful," he said sitting on the floor, the lights flashed and it began to feel warm again.

"Thank you sweetie," he said as he walked to his bedroom, but before that he stopped to check on Rose.

He cracked the door open, and searched for her bed. She was fast asleep in a small twin bed near the side of the room. She looked peaceful. Her blonde hair splay across the pillow and the collar of the overcoat around her.

"Good nigh' mah sweet Rose," The Doctor said as he kissed her cheek.

He walked back to his room where he stripped down to his knickers and fell into bed.

Tomorrow they were off to another adventure, to let the the journey finally began.

The next morning The Doctor was boiling some water to make tea, and making muffins to go with them. The sweet scents wafted all throughout the TARDIS. And eventually into Rose's nostrils. The smell was amazing. She stretched and yawned until she put her slippers on, and made it to the kitchen. She groggily said good morning to him and sat down at the table.

The kettle began to scream. He poured two cups of steaming hot tea and added two spoonfuls of sugar to them. Then he brought them over to the table and sat one down in front of Rose.

"Thank you Docta'," she said as she wrapped her small fingers around the mug.

"OH," he screamed, "I forgot, forgot, something," he threw his hands up in the air, and then ran across the room and scratched his chin.

"The muffins tha' what," he said running to the oven. There was a cloud of steam that fogged over his glasses.

Rose laughed at him. A man in his nightclothes almost burning a batch of muffins.

"Don't get yah knickers in a bunch Docta'," she said still laughing at him.

He couldn't help to laugh along. He brought over a few muffins and sat them on the table.

He burnt his hand picking one up. He cursed under his breath. Rose still laughed at his failures, but in the silence of the morning meet, led to reading. The Doctor loved books, any kind, comics, novels, picture book, pop up books, maps, and so many other writings.

Today The Doctor was going to show Rose the Library.

"Come along mah Rose," he said as The Doctor grabbed her by the hand and dragged her into the hallway. They ran down the hallway together almost hitting their heads on the ceiling. They finally arrived at the Library. The Doctor opened the door. The shelves were three stories high, all were lined with tons of books. Rose smiled.

"Go ahead Rose," he said as she ran up a spiral staircase. She ran her fingers down the side of the books. She pulled three random books. The Doctor sat down on a huge armchair, and covered himself in a blanket. She scurried back and squeezed herself beside him.

"Oi Rose, you have ta' warn me before you do that," he said rubbing his side, that had recently been elbowed.

"What's that one abou' Doctor," she said handing him a book that was in a different language. It was a collection of Gallifreyan lullabies. Time lord children needed a lot of singing to put them to sleep.

"It's a book of lullabies," he said turning the pages.

"We'll save it for later," she said tossing him the next book.

"That's a rubbish one, don't even open it," he said as she threw it on the floor.

'Oi, watch it. Book are amazing, don' hurt em'," he reprimanded her, reaching for the next book.

She opened it. It was a picture book, filled with beautiful scenes. She was awestruck by it. She was sucked in by it, and was looking through it for hours. The Doctor left her to make her lunch, and then eventually supper.

He sat back down beside her, and covered her with the blanket.

"Ready for lullabies, mah sweet Rose," he whispered into her ear.

"Yes, but I don't think lullabies will put me to sleep," she said as she buried her face into his arm.

"You wait and see," he said smiling, kissing her ear.

Not even five minutes into reading she fell asleep beside him. He carried her to her bed and tucked her in with the quilt. He shut the door quietly and made it to his bedroom, falling gently into a pillowy mass of blankets. Those lullabies that he could hear his mom sing to him, rocking back and forth, and then into the ocean of dreams.
