THIS IS IMPORTANT TO READ!

Hello Readers,

First, I do not own many of the characters in this story. They are the property of the BBC. The exception of a few minor characters and the TARDIS's conscious (aka: Tara).

Second, this is totally an AU. Matt Smith is my image of the doctor and I cannot accept Peter Capaldi as the doctor at this time, so the doctor is not changing in my story (maybe later on, but I kinda doubt it).

Third, I will have little conversation things (I don't know what to call them) after each chapter. If you don't like them, tell me. I'll stop.

Fourth, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE review!

Finally, (and this is the important part) I need to give a little Spoilers alert (fine maybe a BIG Spoiler alert). If you are not up to date on the contemporary Doctor Who TV series (at least to the 50th anniversary special) and you want an untainted experience of Doctor Who, you might want to leave, like NOW.

And now, because I have to put in a story or else I'm not complying with the rules, I will put in a preview of what's to come.

A long time ago on Gallifrey I came to be. I am a TT Type 40, Mark 1 Time and Relative Dimension in Space (more commonly known by the acronym: TARDIS) and this is my story.

Like the Moment, I have a conscious. I control anything that actually needs intelligence and sometimes I control things that don't need intelligence for fun (what else am I supposed to do with my time? I can't exactly go have adventures). I am in charge of things like the shape of the TARDIS (yes, the chameleon circuit is not actually broken), and keep the travelers from crossing their own time streams (well, I try), and I can override almost any command from the control room (the navigation system is not knackered, thank you very much!). I decide the blueprint of the TARDIS (sometimes with the input of others, but not always) and much to the Doctor's misconception, the controls are not isomorphic (I just decide who I respond to). I also plant the translation matrix in a person's brain.

Out of all the TARDISes that ever were, I believe I am the only one to actually develop a conscious. I am the only one that has existed long enough to develop one anyway (I was already very old when the Doctor stole me).

Riley: I know, I know. That's pretty much the summary. But what's a writer to do? It's not like I can put any real substance on this page. It would have too many spoilers, this one already has a few. So yeah, see you soon!

Unidentified Character: (appears out of nowhere) Is it time? Can I come out now?

Riley: Oi! This isn't even the story yet! Now, get back to wherever you came from!

Unidentified Character: (pouts and disappears)

Riley: Sorry about that! This is what I was talking about in the third point. Do you want me to do them after each chapter?
