BOOM!
I fell backwards into a strategically placed chair, as the tardis bumped around through the time vortex.
The tardis shuddered and bumped against something so it felt like we landed, but the console in the middle was still bobbing up and down, which meant we hadn't yet. It felt like I was being spun around at 1000 mph. (Which I've actually experienced) for about 30 seconds, we bumped and bounced around and, I know i shouldn't, I mean, its kinda cruel to make fun of someones tardis flying abilities, but I laughed. It started as a smile. Then a giggle, then exploded in a full- blown laughing fit. I turned to the doctor, (otherwise known as dad) who was glaring at me.
"Ooooohhhhh... I'm in trouble!" I thought. (Not that it would've mattered. most of the time, I take care of him!) But then, something unexpected happened. Dad smiled. Then he giggled. Then, he went into a laughing fit that topped even mine.
i guess i should explain. first of all, I'm Angela. You can call me Ali. I have orangish red hair that goes about halfway down my arms. I have green eyes and reeeaaaly pale skin. and freckles. If you saw me on the street, you'd assume I'd just moved from Ireland. I'm a timelord like my dad, and before you ask, yes timelord (or timelady as I'm called) is a type of alien. If you looked at me, you would never guess. I'd say I look human, but that's not true. We came first. I don't look human, you look timelord.
Now, about the tardis. It's full name is the
Time
And
Relative
Dimensions
In
Space.
She was already a museum piece when dad stole her. Thats right, my dads a thief, and I don't really care what you think.
Also, something else you need to know about the tardis, is that they aren't built. They're grown. They're alive, and this one is the last in the universe. Just like we're the last of the timelords. What happened to them you might ask? They died.
Anyways... The thing is, my dad sucks at flying the tardis. When we go bumping around time and space (Did I mention it's a time machine/space ship? I didn't? Oops... My bad! *Insert awkward smile here*) we end up about 100 years and 1,000,000 miles away from what/when we were aiming for. At least that's what happens when dad drives. I'm only about 312 and when I fly, we get exactly where we want to go, without any bumping or crashing. Smoothly, safely, and perfectly. But where's the fun in that?
Ok, now onto the doctor. You see, dad is hilarious, cocky, fun, random, absolutely brilliant, and EXTREMELY thick. He has thick brown hair, normal colored skin, and extremely thin. i mean siriously! you give him a hug, you get a papercut! he likes to wear these tortiose-shell glasses. he doesn't need them, he just thinks they make him look clever. (hint: they don't!)
He doesn't like when anyone can fly the tardis better than him. Especially, when that person is about 700 years younger than he is. Usually when I make fun of his flying techniques, he throws a tantrum and I have to put him to bed early. (No kidding! That actually happened once! I drew a mustache on his face! :{) )
Now that every things all cleared up, we'll get back to the story!
So anyways, dad burst out laughing. But there's something different about this laugh. It's hollower than his normal laugh. It sounds like he's nervous and trying very hard to hide it. I walked over to him and looked him in the eye.
"Is there anything wrong dad?" I asked him. He looked me in the eye and said
"Nope. Nope. Absolutely nothing." He went over to the console and started flipping random switches, which he totally didn't need to do, as we had already landed.
"Dad," I said, inching towards him.
"Where are we?"
"Oh we're on the planet Oxuberon, in the Herasalis Quadrant."
"Ok, now I know somethings up." I said warily, wondering what the hell had gotten into my dad.
"Oh yeah? He said distractedly, "How so?" He never taking his eyes off the scanner.
"Well," I said "First of all, thats way to much detail on where we are. You usually just say "Lets go find out." I put an accusing look on my face and stared at him. He started to fidget and avoided my eyes. "And second of all, That galaxy was blown up about 70 years ago." I saw him curse under his breath.
"Dad," I was an arms width away from him.
"Show me the scanner"
"Ummm..." He looked really nervous now.
"I think I'm just gonna keep it to myself thanks." I lounged for it. He fought back of course
"No... Dad, stopit! Ooowww! That hurt. Aaauuuggghhhh. Give... It... Here!" I said as I wrenched the scanner out of his grip, and swung it towards me.
"I mean seriously dad, what could be so bad, you had to lie to me abo-" that, I said before I saw what was on the screen.
"No."
