Chapter 1

As The Doctor whizzed around the TARDIS pushing this button and that, his latest companion was just stumbling out of bed trying to find a focus in a blur of tweed as he raced about.

"Doctor... Why is it so loud?" Evelyn said yawning trying to weigh out why time travel was more important than sleep- coming up with no definable conclusions.

"That's easy enough fix-" he quickly pulled down a lever and turned to smile at his newest friend, "Now. What are we up to today?"

The glee and excitement of why she decided to travel with him returned and her semi-conciousness fell away instantly. It was time to go... anywhere. Somewhere new, somewhere exciting, somewhere better. The blood from her body flooded her ears as her heart began to beat loudly. She stood there smiling and quickly realized, she had no idea where she wanted to go. Slightly disappointed in herself but not letting it kill the mood she spoke, "Please just, surprise me."

The Doctor grinned and hit a few more buttons making the engines roar. He turned to her and said, "Third closet, past the room of bubble-blowing machines. There are clothes that suit the time we are going. Dress quick we should be there in a couple of seconds.

As she ran off The Doctor remembered why he picked her in the first place. The joy, the excitement, it never got old with her. She loved the travel as much as he did. There was also the distinct advantage in having a friend that was well-educated and who had never set foot on Earth, but she loved it's history. And it's literature, and that's why he knew exactly where he wanted to take her.

"So, where are we?" Her clothes were askew and she had barely finished doing up her high-waisted pants and buttoning up her blouse as she ran down the stairs to the main area of the TARDIS, flushed and excited.

The Doctor deciding today was not the day to kill a good idea settled on, "You wanted it to be a surprise. This is one of my better ones."

She fixed up her clothing, ran to the TARDIS screen to check her hair, grabbed the Doctor's hand and said, "Let's go."

As she pulled open the door to the TARDIS she couldn't believe what she saw.
