"Oh my gosh….What did I do?! I thought he was joking. I was expecting a phone inside with a spot to pay for the calls, a few instructions, and maybe a poster or act of vandalism. But not this. Not now. What was that lever and what does it do? Oh my gosh…. It's making that bad Darth Vader noise again, I really do hope that this isn't some sick joke my friends are pulling. Gah Chelsea…. I'll get you for this one you little stuck up cheerleader. Well guess what… I'm not gonna let it get to me, I think, or maybe it will. Oi, where's my phone?"
"Who is that girl, and who does she think she is?! Waltzing onto my TARDIS like that! Is this some kind of joke to her? Well guess what sweeties, it's as real as it gets. Whoever set her up to this, with that determined spirit, I'll find them, and they better run because I AM the oncoming storm."
Strange Abilities
"I-I-It's bigger on the inside…" The young girl added in a muttered tone as she gripped the cold railing, feeling fear build up inside her as the doors slammed shut behind her. She remained slightly hunched over the railing, her hair cascading over the edge. "W-what do you want with me?" She stammered, using up most of the courage left in her system. The lulling movement of an ancient engine danced into her ears.
The man leaned back against the railing, all too calm about the situation. His eyes seemed slightly flustered at her question, but that soon changed as he realized that she was only human and only knew of the happenings on little planet Earth. "I just want someone to come and see the universe with me" he leaned forwards, placing his hands on the console and hung his head down, but craned his neck as to see the girl. He too heard the lulling of the engines, as if they longed to move. "Do I need a proper reason?"
She slowly stood up, her weight still largely on the railing, but it shifted towards her heels. The girl took her right hand and tucked a strand of her copper-brown hair behind her ear as her eyes fell upon the figure of the man, head sulken to the machine in front of him, hands twitching above the controls. "A real reason would be nice but…." Christine stepped towards the man carefully, one converse covered foot after the other. Her heart pounded as she got closer.*I can't believe I'm going to do this* she thought as she closed the distance between them. A light smoke-like gas stirred beneath her feet, but didn't dare rise up. "But I'm willing to take my chances.
A broad smile came over the mans face. He stood up, smoothed out his long coat, as proper gentlemen would at an old Victorian opera. His converse squeaked across the grated floor of the TARDIS, not desiring to be lifted but would rather seem to slide about. With an out stretched hand on the lever in front of the girl he tapped it in a joyful manner with his fingers "I'm the Doctor" he said as he pulled the lever down. "Next stop? Everywhere" He called out cheerfully, knowing what was to come next. He glanced over at his new passenger, her face pale with an unknown fear.
As the lever was pushed down the TARDIS roared to life. Christine instinctively grabbed the small rail that jutted out of the console tightly, her knuckles showing bright white against her dangerous and fearfully red skin. She held her weight close to the ground, unsure of what was to happen, for it was all so new to her. The doctor smiled happily, he seemed at ease compared to his young companion. He leaned into the console slightly, hands flurrying about the switches and buttons. "Hmmmm next stop everywhere…. I like it" he muttered to himself, keeping his attention on the console as the TARDIS swerved to and fro. The floor trembled with an antagonizing amount of power as long tubes in the console went up and down, seeming quite useless and just for show to Christine. With a loud thud the box landed on the terrain below, the pair being jolted inside.
The man stood up with a slight smirk on his face. He stepped away from the console and ran his fingers through his hair, retaining the poof in front. Purposefully, he turned towards the girl. His steps were even. Heel, toe, heel, toe, heel, toe. As he approached her the Doctor patted her back in an awkward fashion. "Let's go see the universe" he called out to her as he passed, heading to the door of the TARDIS. He seemed to recover quite quickly compared to the girl.
Christine looked up carefully as he patted her back. She watched the long trail of his coat, his words bouncing around in her head. She pushed up on the railing, high topped shoes teetering to regain her balance. "All of the universe?" She questioned as she stepped towards the door carefully. Her muscles tensed with a sense of fear and doubt. She passed the Doctor carefully, her eyes unwavering from the door handle, arm extended outwards to grab something, the girl appeared to be in a temporary trance state. She wrapped her hand around it carefully, the cold metal reassuring you. With a strong pull she yanked the door open. The hinges squeaked from the sudden force and a stream of light glimmered into the TARDIS.
"All of it..." The doctor smiled as he looked over at the girls face, sliding past her as she looked out onto the new surroundings. Her eyes were wide, like hazel tinted cameras jumping from one item to the other upon the surface of the new location. Her hands were over her mouth in sheer amazement. He placed his hand onto her shoulder in a friendly manner. "And this is where we start" he shifted his gaze from her to the planet. The Doctor put both of his hands deep into his coat pockets. His dark eyes looking over the terrain. A shrill call caught his attention and the silence between the two was broken.
