Lucinda's eyes blinked open, and she knew one thing. The noise had not stopped. She sat up, and the noise faded. Blinking again, she noticed that a large, blue police box had appeared in her room. What?

The doors were flung open, to Lucinda's surprise; smoke or possibly steam poured out from the inside. Then the most surprising thing happened. A man stumbled out of the blue box, muttering "Bad, bad smoke... Very not good..."

"Who are you, and why are you here? And what's that box?" The questions came suddenly, and Lucinda had one hundred more. The man turned to face her, closing the box doors.

"Oh, hello! I'm the Doctor! I had a bit of a crash... I shouldn't be here at all... I'm just going to go..." The man started towards the box.

"Wait!" Lucinda called to the man, the Doctor. He turned and stepped out of the box, the TARDIS, again shutting the door. "What are you doing here?" she asked, more calmly. The Doctor grabbed the stool that sat by Lucinda's desk, placed it in the middle of the room and sat on it.

"You're quite the curious one, aren't you? I would tell you, but I hardly think you'd believe it. I couldn't anyway... too soon." The Doctor looked away, such sadness in his eyes it hurt Lucinda's heart to think about what could make him so sad.

"I'd believe you," she whispered. "Especially after my dreams, I'd believe you." The Doctor's face contorted, his expression becoming puzzled.

"Tell me about them. I love dreams." A big grin spread across his face, and Lucinda described her dreams. She told the Doctor of her flying through the stars, of the snow planet and the strange tree, of the blinding light and the noise of the blue box.

"Ah, well, that was me." The Doctor grinned childishly. "But that doesn't make any sense... I saw you there, briefly. I thought you were an inhabitant of the planet... It's Glacida, by the way, that planet. So... Want to go see it for real?" The Doctor looked at Lucinda, sincerly.

"Really? You'll take me with you? But I'm wearing my nightdress!" She was shocked, but gleeful. The Doctor raised his eyebrows, or what would be his eyebrows if he had any, and twisted around to go into the box. "What are you doing in there?" Lucinda called. "It's just a silly wooden box that appeared!" The Doctor did not reappear, and curiosity go the better of Lucinda - what was he doing standing in a small box?

She pulled on a hoodie and some jeans, and headed towards the box. The TARDIS. Little was she prepared for the little universe she would find within, or what danger she would face in the future.


Well, we know what will happen when she enters the TARDIS! Thank you for reading, reviews would be nice =D
