Nicole followed the Doctor to the inside of his TARDIS and there were no words to describe what she saw. The yellowish gold walls with circular holes that curved near the top gave the place a dome-like shape. In the middle was the TARDIS control console that gave off a greenish blue light. Around the control console there were branchlike columns that extended towards the ceiling. As she was looking around, the Doctor walked over to the control console and flicked a few buttons. Afterwards, he leaned back against the console and asked, "What do you think of my TARDIS?"

"It's amazing! I love how it is bigger on the inside!"

"Really?"

Nicole nodded as she joined the Doctor at the control console. Her eyes sparkled with awe and wonder as she stood mesmerized by the time rotor that was propelling up and down. The Doctor was reminded why he took people travelling throughout time and space. This eased his guilty conscience for taking Nicole on board despite knowing the consequences on her life if she travels with him. Putting his guilty feelings aside and reassuring himself that this is only one trip with her, he made a broad gesture with his hands. "The TARDIS stands for Time and Relative.."

"Dimensions in Space," finished Nicole.

The Doctor stared at her in bewilderment. "How? How could you possibly know that?"

"When I was in the Strategic Response Unit, one of our calls took place at the Torchwood Institute. When I came across your file, I was so intrigued that I took pictures of it so I could learn more about you and alien life," said Nicole as she looked at the ground and scuffed her right foot on the floor. The Doctor laughed heartily. Nicole looked up surprised at his reaction and broke out into laughter alongside him.

"Now, how about we figure out what species this monster is?" asked the Doctor.

"Sounds like a great idea!"

The Doctor pulled down the TARDIS scanner and took out a small envelope out of his right jacket pocket. He put on his pair of glasses and with a massive grin asked, "Guess what I found when tracking down this monster?"

"I am guessing something significant."

"Yes, something very significant that will help us along the way," he said contemplating as he took out a pair of tweezers and pulled a piece of hair from inside the envelope. For a minute the Doctor studied the piece of hair as if it would tell him answers. Throughout the minute, he whispered, "This is most fascinating," while smiling as if he discovered something huge. Nicole chuckled breaking the silence, and he gave her a dirty look as if she disturbed his thinking process.

"I am sorry," Nicole said laughing, "but are you going to use the scanner to scan the piece of hair to find out what species the monster is?"

"Oh, yes!" smiled the Doctor. After he placed the strand of hair in the machine, he took off his glasses and puts them away.

Now, Nicole had always wondered why the Doctor wears glasses at random times so she gathered her courage and asked, "So Doctor, do you wear glasses to look smart and impress people or are you far-sighted?"

"What are you some psychology major student?"

"Well, I am studying Behavioural Psychology on the side."

"Interesting," the Doctor said, "If you must know, I wear these glasses to help me think when something is interesting or if I need to take action." After he said this, the machine beeped, and the results came up on the screen of the scanner. They both turned to the screen and when the Doctor saw the species, he grinned and exclaimed, "This is amazing! Nicole, I introduce you to the Adversus Monstrum and they are from a planet called Flammidemia which means Harvest of Fire."

"Why is the planet called Harvest of Fire?"

"The Adversus Monstrum throws fireballs and incinerates planets to collect ash for food. Basically, they harvest planets through fire. Thankfully, the monster did not roast you for dinner earlier.

"Hilarious," Nicole said with a sarcastic tone. Then she exclaimed with eyebrows furrowed, "How is this amazing? Humanity will be wiped out if we do not stop it!"

"Right…," then the Doctor jumped up and exclaimed, "Are you ready to save the Earth, Nicole? Now we know who the monster is, we can track down its location by using its DNA!"

"Fascinating! Let's start this adventure!" The Doctor twisted and pressed buttons on the console as the TARDIS began its flight. They braced themselves for the bumpy ride while flying towards the unknown.
