Author's note: Thank you for the follows/favorites so far! The support makes me very happy and usually helps me get through another chapter.

This chapter might be a little messy and it's rather short. I decided to throw Steve in at the last minute and that kind threw my writing off..

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from Warehouse 13 or Doctor Who!

Claudia moved cautiously towards the door with the Doctor in front of her. Up close the TARDIS – or whatever he had called it – was significantly bigger up close.

The brown-suited man pulled out a key and unlocked the door. He had an expectant smile as if he'd done this hundreds of times before. He slowly opened one of the doors and immediately a golden light flooded from the box.

Claudia stepped into the box, her vision obscured by the sudden light. Where is all that light coming from? She blinked a couple times to adjust her eyes to the light and stumbled back in surprise. "I-It's… bigger on the inside!" She spun around to face the Doctor with a big grin on her face. "This is amazing!" She laughed and jogged over to the console. She ran her hands over all the buttons and levers. "The machinery is so cool and steam-punk. How does it work?" Artie would love this place!

"It's… complicated." He said as he watched her with a satisfied smile and his hands in his pockets.

"Does it really work?"

"I could show you… if you'd like."

The caretaker stopped walking and her smile faltered a little. I can't just leave.. "Can you wait here for a minute?"

"I have all the time in the world, take as long as you need." Claudia beamed again and ran out of the time machine and back into the B&B. She bolted up the stairs as quietly as the wood planks would allow.

She first ran into her room and quickly changed into a pair of jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt, and a leather vest. After changing she ran across the hall and burst into a dark room. The window offered very little light but she knew the room well enough to navigate in the dim light.

"Steve!" She hissed in the ear of a sleeping man. "Steve, wake up!"

"Claudia..?" He mumbled and rolled over. "What is it? What's the matter?"

"Get changed and come downstairs."

"Claude, it's 5:00AM.."

"Please, Jinksy?" Claudia begged. She couldn't see his face clearly but her tone must have convinced him because he sighed and sat up.

"Fine… I'll be down in five minutes." Claudia grinned triumphantly and jogged out of the room so he could change.

"What is that?" Steve asked when they were downstairs and standing in the backyard a couple minutes later.

"You'll see," Claudia grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the blue box. She knocked on the door it opened immediately. "Agent Jinks, welcome to the TARDIS." She swept her hand out of front of her like Artie did when he showed new agents the Warehouse for the first time.

Steve stepped hesitantly inside and stared around in confusion and awe. "But… it's… how..."

"Bigger on the inside, I know." Claudia stepped in and laughed at her partner's baffled expression. "Doctor, this is my best friend and partner, Steve Jinks."

"Nice to me you, Steve! I'm the Doctor!" The Doctor shook Steve's hand. The agent was still looking around in amazement.

"What is this place?"

"The TARDIS – my time machine!" The Doctor looked around proudly. "I think she likes you, Claudia. She even opened the door for you."

"She?" Claudia asked. "Oh, great… it's like Artie and the Warehouse all over again."

"The Warehouse? You're Warehouse agents? That's brilliant!" The Doctor smiled broadly.

"You know about the Warehouse?" asked Claudia with an extremely shocked tone.

"Oh, yeah! I helped design the first Warehouse and I was good friends with the agents of Warehouse 3, 7, and 12."

"Warehouse 12? You knew H.G. Wells?" Steve asked curiously.

"Helena? Oh, yes. Lovely woman. Travelled with me for a while – not sure what happened to her later on."

"She was bronzed –" The Doctor gave Claudia a curious look. "long story – but she's unbronzed and rehabilitated. We're not completely sure where she's living right now.."

"Oh, well, good for her, I suppose!" The Doctor smiled and returned to the console. "Right! Where to first?"

"Wait! You mean we're actually going to time travel?" said Steve.

"Why? You don't want to go?" said Claudia.

"No, it's not that, it's just… what if we get trapped somewhere or killed or something? We'd stay dead and we have a responsibility to the Warehouse – especially you."

"We'll be fine. The Warehouse will survive without me for a little while." Steve looked like he wanted to argue but figured it wouldn't do any good. When Claudia put her mind to something, she was like a mountain and wouldn't budge.

"Now that we've got that all figured out; where do you want to go? Different planet? Future? Past?" The Doctor inquired.

"Surprise us," Claudia leaned against the console as the Doctor started messing with the levers and buttons.

The TARDIS shook and the middle part of the console started going up and down. There was a grinding and wheezing noise that filled their ears as the box shuddered and jerked.

"Hold on tight!" The Doctor yelled as the two yelled with a mix of glee and fear as they were tossed about. They were soon on their way through the swimming stars.
