Chapter Two:

The Doctor began running around the controls pulling leavers and pressing buttons as Scarlett was thrown around the room, clinging onto the railings. "Blimey! It's a bit bumpy isn't it doctor?" Scarlett shouted

"Just a bit!" The Doctor shouted back. They locked eyes and grinned at each other, and soon the TARDIS came to a complete stop.

"Right!" said The Doctor, "Outside those two doors, could be any place, anytime, anywhere. Anything that ever has been or ever could be could be outside those doors." He said gesturing to the TARDIS doors. He began to walk towards them, but stopped when he realised Scarlett wasn't behind him. He turned and saw her standing still beside the console.

"Well aren't you coming?" he asked

"Well yes, anything, anywhen sounds great but doctor I don't know if you've noticed but I'm still in this stupid dress and I don't have any shoes."

Truth is The Doctor had noticed her dress. He had noticed it a lot. He had definitely noticed it way too many times than he probably should have considering he was a 1000 year old time lord. He quickly snapped out of his trance, and returned his gaze to Scarlett's eyes, and smiled.

"Right of course, wardrobe room- through that corridor, take three lefts, two rights, sixth door on your left!"

Scarlett nodded and scampered off in search, and The Doctor sat down on the jump seat. "And be quick about it!" he called

"Oh whatever time boy!" Scarlett called back from down the hall, intent on taking all the time she needed. She managed to find her way into the wardrobe room easier than expected for such a giant ship, and hadn't got lost once.

She walked inside and gasped. There were floors and floors of clothes from all eras, some of which she recognised and some of which she didn't. She trailed along the racks, fingering items of clothing when she came to a rack that looked like her kind of style and size. She was astonished at the amount of different clothes in all sizes and colours and shoes of all kind. She quickly grabbed a pair of red converse and some denim shorts, with a white t-shirt and black hoodie jumper- she also backtracked and grabbed a pair of mirrored sunglasses, because she didn't know whether it would be sunny or not. And then she looked down at her legs, and realised it could be freezing cold as well, but felt like The Doctor was probably getting impatient about waiting for her to be ready. So she stuffed the sunglasses in her pockets and tied her hair into a high ponytail, and ran off into the console room.

-Line break -

They stepped outside the TARDIS doors, and Scarlett was astonished. The sky above her was a light violet colour, and the temperature was warm, but not too hot, so she was glad she had gotten the jumper. The cityscape was beautiful, and tall buildings with lights stood all around them. The grass beneath their feet was a light blue colour, and the pavement was a slightly darker blue. Dark purple-ish clouds lurked about in the sky, and two suns beamed above them.

"This. Is. Beautiful." She said, looking around in awe. The Doctor just smiled at her reaction, she was so cute when she smiled. "I can't believe that I'm standing on a proper alien planet. How weird is that?!" she exclaimed

"You'll never forget your first that's for sure" The Doctor said with a smile

"You're saying there'll be more?" she asked, trying to hide the hope in her tone.

"With you Scarlett Cooper? Of course." The Doctor said, smiling at her "I've got so many places I want to take you."

Scarlett smiled at him, and suddenly felt like a child again. The Doctor seemed to know so much about this concept of time travel and aliens, in fact he was one himself! Whereas she knew nothing. She didn't even know where she was.

"So where and when exactly are we?"

"Hmmm…" the doctor stuck his tongue out, and tasted the air "Lantera, by the taste of it. It's a Wednesday, about fifteen hours into their thirty hour day, so basically noon. 43rd century."

Scarlett looked at him her mouth slightly agape. "You can tell where and when why are, by tasting the air?" The Doctor nodded, smiling slightly. "That is bloody weird, if you ask me" Scarlett said

"Oi, I'm not human like you remember? I'm a timelord, of course I can bloody tell the time by 'tasting' the air. Have been able too since I was a kid"

"Well yeah, but that was ages ago. I mean what are you 900 did you say?"

"Well more like 1000 odd nowadays, I've lost track if I'm honest."

"Blimey," she muttered

"Come on then, much to see." Said The Doctor, grabbing her hand and running down the road.

-LINE BREAK-

Everything seemed relatively normal on the streets, and The Doctor was quite content watching Scarlett's shocked reaction to almost everything around her. She was running from stall to stall around the marketplace he had taken her to, with his unlimited credit stick, trying and buying anything the locals had to offer. At first she had been a bit confused when they spoke perfect English to her, but he quickly explained the TARDIS translation system. She reacted reasonable okay, and didn't freak out too much.

He managed to finally drag her away from the market, and they strolled through the sea of people.

"So what do you think of this place then?"

"Oh it's beautiful; I've never seen anything like it! Heck I didn't know there was anything like this!" she gushed, biting into an odd purple fruit that she had bought. She sighed contently when the juice seeped over her tongue and went down her throat.

"This is gorgeous, what is this?" she asked

"Oh it's a reyberry, they grow everywhere around here," The Doctor said, pointing up to a tree where kids where climbing and picking them, before running them into shops and stalls to sell them. Then he noticed one shop that none of the children were going into, and he wasn't sure why. The shopped seemed as normal as the others on the street, but was deserted. He was about to say something when Scarlett took the words right out of his mouth.

"How come none of the kids are going in there? Seems like a normal shop to me?"

"Oh you're good Scarlett Cooper, I like you. Just what I was thinking"

She smiled up at him, and then said "we should probably go and check it out."

"Sounds like a plan" he said, smiling back. He grabbed onto her hand, and they ran to the shop, not seeing the shadows move around them.
