Hi guys, sorry this chapter is so short. It's spring break (starting tomorrow) for me, and I'm going to Florida, so I wanted to get a little something out there before I left! Enjoy, and I will update when I get home! Which is next.. Sunday? ENJOY AND I LOVE ALL MY REVIEWERS!
"How the hell does this work?" I whispered, utterly breathless.
"Like I said, time travel." The Doctor smiled at me. Before I could manage another word of nonsense, the Doctor gave me a light shove out the door. Instead of plunging down, I just floated there. He reached his hand out to me so I wouldn't stray to far from the TARDIS.
I giggled loudly. "This is amazing! Thank you!" I gave him an enormous hug as I came floating back to the ground.
While running back to the console, he yelled over his shoulder. "Any time. Now, are you ready for your first real adventure?"
My jaw dropped a small bit. "REAL adventure? Just seeing a REAL star was REAL enough for me!" The Doctor laughed. "So where are you taking us?"
After fiddling with some levers, he ran over and made yet another spectacle of throwing the doors open. "Appalachia! One of the best places to vacation!" We stepped out of the TARDIS, and were immediately welcomed by a wave of hot, beach air.
"Neither of us are dressed for this sort of weather." I pointed out. Then, the Doctor made a shooing motion with his hands, indicating to go back in the TARIDS.
"Don't worry, I'm always prepared. There is a closet down the stairs and to your left. Should be something your size in there!" Wow, he seemed to have everything in this place. After I had found a suitable swimsuit, I ran back out of the TARDIS and met the Doctor under a beach umbrella.
As the Doctor and I relaxed under the umbrella, a sand crab scuttled over and pinched my toe. I laughed and the Doctor flashed me a puzzled grin. "That didn't hurt?"
I shook my head. "Not at all. You know that feeling when you get hurt in a dream? It hurts, but not a lot?" He nodded. "That's how it felt. Just like a dream." And for a brief second, the entire world seemed to stop. I looked around, and everyone was frozen. When I blinked, everything was normal again. Odd.
"Did you just see what I saw?" The Doctor asked.
"If you're referring to everyone suddenly freezing, then yes."
"That was weird. Back to the TARDIS." He stood up and pulled me up with him. Just then, a thought crossed my mind that had been bothering me for a while.
"Doctor, why did you bring me along with you?" I asked innocently.
"You wanted to see a star." He stated simply.
"Besides the obvious." I retorted.
He stuck his tongue out at me like a child. "Well, I get lonely." He replied a second later.
"I couldn't have guessed." I smiled sweetly and sarcastically at him. "I don't know, things just seem to be.. odd?"
"Odd? How do you mean?" His curiosity peaked by my question.
"It almost seems unreal."
"I know what you mean..." He trailed off. We had reached the TARDIS. "Ok, so, now to figure out what caused this little 'skip' in time, if that's what you would call it."
