We ended up going back to our routine after that, but it was a good break. We started going around to planets further away from the Earth than we had been normally. The time didn't really matter, but we stayed close to where was my 'present' time. Not a month had passed before the TARDIS broke down. We were on Earth at the time, and she didn't seem like she wanted to leave. We stayed around, not like we had a choice, and we got to explore my London. I had grown up there, so I knew about all the little adventures. I took him to my favorite shops and restaurants over a few days, but we both quickly became bored.
Within a week, I had visited everyone I was friends with and ate at all the places that had food I remotely liked. Leaving London for the TARDIS, I decided to explore what all it contained. I was luckily passing a bathroom when I felt an overwhelming sickness. I rushed in and donated most of my dinner to the toilet. The Doctor must have heard me, as he rushed in a few seconds after I finished. I had curled myself up in a ball on the floor, and he picked me up easily. He took me to my room and tucked me into bed. I fell asleep quickly, waking a few times to use the restroom before crashing again. Each time, I was just barely awake enough to notice the Doctor was sitting in my room not far from my bed. His presence eased me and I quickly fell asleep each time.
I awoke slowly as I heard rustling in the corner of my room. The Doctor was surrounded by a pile of well-worn books, and had another in his hands. He seemed engrossed in the book, yet swiftly came to the realization that I was awake. He set the book down before walking over to my bed. I turned towards him, a mistake. I felt the same nausea I had earlier and held my mouth before bolting upright. The Doctor grabbed a waste bin from by my feet and held it up. My food already digested, I retched up bile. It burned my throat, but the Doctor held out a bottle of water for me. I drank most of it before laying back down.
"Good morning, well, afternoon. I checked all of the circuits trying to figure out why the TARDIS stopped working, and nothing's wrong. Except the Chameleon Circuit, but I like the police box thing. I think she's just being stubborn. She does that sometimes. Either way, looks like we are staying on Earth until she changes her mind. I ended up getting some books from the library. Finished most of them."
"The TARDIS has a library? Why was I unaware of this? What else does it have?"
He decided that he must show me all the rooms that I had never noticed before. It took most of the day, even though we ate along the way. He showed me saunas, a pool that took forever to find, the library, a sick bay, a sun room with artificial sun, a few squash courts, and an aquarium. It was an adventure on its own, one the Doctor had not thought to take me on. He had been all around the TARDIS, but I found everything fascinating. We walked around the maze of hallways before ending up in the control room. We left to grab some food from a fast food restaurant. The food was made quickly, and we were back in the TARDIS not long after. I sat down by the control panel with my food, and the Doctor watched me while picking at his food. Once we finished our food, he said he had one more room to show me.
I followed him to the room, and I was stunned. It was comparable to a movie cinema, although quite a bit smaller. The seats were a bit bigger than couches, but shaped the same. I sat on one, becoming trapped in its softness. He put in a movie and sat next to me. I curled into him during the previews. He stroked my back lightly before falling asleep. I managed to stay awake until the credits, but afterwards, I was out like a light.
