Life with a TARDIS

To Help a Friend Out (Season 1 Episode 2)

"Seriously, how could they all have said no?" I said as I jabbed at a couple of buttons on the TARDIS console and it rocked around. "Why would anyone want to give up all of this?" I said putting out my hands to showcase the living room/library/seating area that was located around the console area.

"I don't think they gave it up, but more so were overwhelmed" Darko stated making sure to stay away from me as I had my rant. It had been my fourth one in five days and I still was amazed that my closest friends decided to stay with their lives instead of wanting to help me out. The minute they had said that they wanted to be dropped back at the park, they left without a lot of words exchanged between any of us. The more amazing thing that happened was that no one contacted me in the five days since then and so I went back to my thing, defending the Earth from alien threats.

"Well it doesn't matter why, I've moved on," of course it never was that easy. I knew the minute they wanted to see me I would be there in a flash. Suddenly the phone rang that was on the console. I quickly hit a button that allowed it to be answered but put it on speaker phone so I wouldn't have to hold a phone and pilot at the same time. "Hello." I said.

"Kevin hi, how are you?" that voice was the last voice I expected to hear. My best friend Troy Combs. To say I was surprised was an understatement.

"Ummm, Troy what are you doing calling me?" yes it sounded rude but the way my voice sounded made it seem like I was actually confused.

"Look I am going to apologize for not talking to you and basically abandoning you because of that huge life revelation you gave us but I have something here that is a bit more important than that and something you might be interested in more." that had my attention.

"Ok, what is it?" at this point Darko was also looking at me.

"I think I may have an alien at my work." that got my attention all at once. If there was something that got me going it was an alien threat.

"Are you at work?" I rushed around the console flipping switches while Darko went to the computer screen.

"Well yes I am but."

"Good, I'll be there in a couple of minutes." I hit a button to shut off the phone.

"Off to see Troy?" Darko said to me still looking at the screen

"Damn right we are. If you aren't sure if there is an alien at your job there is something strange going on." I said flipping a switch making the TARDIS rock around.

"And we are here." Darko said flipping a lever to materialize the TARDIS.

"Good, come on, let's see what's going on." I said moving around the console towards the doors to exit. Opening up the doors I notice instantly I am in a closed off office space which is good since I'm not going to get many, if any, people questioning why I am there. The next thing I notice is Kevin sitting at a desk with a computer. He turned around in surprise looking at me.

"I just got off the phone with you only two minutes ago. How did you get here so fast?" Troy rushed up from his desk to us which didn't take much considering the small size of the office space.

"It's a spaceship with highly advanced alien technology. I could have been all the way across the country in California and could have gotten here in ten minutes." I explained realizing that more of this will have to happen from now on.

"So, what is going on here?" Darko asked trying to steer the conversation to the reason why we were there.

"Oh right," Troy moved back to his desk and sat down while typing on his computer. "You see there has been something really odd going on with a program I've been working on. No matter what I do it just won't fix itself."

"Have you thought that maybe you just haven't found all the problems?" I ask. It seemed rational. Even though he was a computer programmer it didn't mean he knew everything about the subject. He could still make mistakes.

"Yes I thought of that," He said sarcastically. I deserved that considering how rude I sounded before. "Except the mistakes appear when I know they were correct before." that stopped me.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean one second there is no mistake and the next it magically appears. I don't understand it and couldn't explain it until I realized that maybe it might not be science based but more alien based."

I moved over to his computer and pulled out the sonic and started scanning his computer trying to find something that could help me. Knowing the data got immediately scanned into my brain it was simple to sort though. At the same time it also disturbed me.

"We have a problem," I said moving away from the computer but looking at the other two. "There is defiantly something alien in your computer. I think somehow you picked up an alien virus. How you did it? I don't know."

"So," Troy said stretching out the so. "Can you do anything about it?" I chuckled at that.

"Gosh if I didn't know you better I would think you only called just for this situation," He looked guilty at that and I felt bad. "Of course I can help but I can't do anything now. The process will take some time and I can't risk having someone coming in here seeing what I am doing. We'll wait until tonight when everyone is gone. That way no one will disturb us while we work." Darko and I walked back to the TARDIS when Troy got up.

"So when will you be back?" He asked.

"We aren't leaving," he looked confused at that and I laughed. "We'll keep the TARDIS right here. Noone will even notice it. When you leave for the day just knock on the door and we'll let you in. Then when we are sure everyone is gone we'll get to work," With that Darko and I walked into the TARDIS and closed the door when I remembered something. I opened the door surprising Troy "It might also be a good idea to not draw attention to the TARDIS if anyone is in this room so if anyone is here just pretend this huge blue box isn't even here. As long as you don't bring attention to her she can make people not even see her." With that I shut the door again. I could just hear the confusion from Troy on the other side. Darko was a few feet away from me chuckling.

"You are enjoying this so much aren't you?"

"Of course I am, plus it seems that he has accepted my lifestyle otherwise he wouldn't have called me in to help which makes me happy. But we have a job to do so let's get to work."

A few hours later we heard a knock on the door and Darko went over to let in Troy. Letting him in we saw the amazement on his face that basically once again spoke that he was in love with what he saw. I was that way even a few weeks after owning the TARDIS. Somedays it still is amazing to me. I was up on the console station looking at the monitor checking out something on the screen when Troy came up.

"So what do we do now?" But he couldn't focus on me and just kept looking around.

"Hey buddy, I am over here," He looked at me and seemed embarrassed but I just laughed it off. "I am just checking the TARDIS sensors to see who else is in the building. In about ten minutes we should be good to go." I noticed he was looking at all the wires Darko and I placed on the railings around the console. They were also all connected into the console.

"What are all those for?" Darko came around him and started flipping switches.

"That is how we are going to extract the virus from your computer. We are going to use the TARDIS to drag the virus from your computer into here."

"But isn't that dangerous? I mean it's an alien virus and you are going to contain it into technology. Very complex technology that is." He did make a good observation.

"That's exactly why we are doing it," I answered. "The TARDIS is extremely complex alien technology and a virus won't harm it. If anything she should be able to contain it a lot better than anything else I can think of."

"So what do we do?" He asked.

"I'm just going to plug the cords into your computer and then start a program that will have the TARDIS scan your computer, pull out the virus and store it in the TARDIS. Then we will dispose of it when we can," I looked over the screen again. "Ok, we should be good. Let's do this." I pulled the three wires and gave two to Darko and I kept one of them. We dragged it to the doors and exited the TARDIS.

The office space was lit but even though it was closed off I could tell the rest of the building was empty and no one was around except for maybe a janitor or two. Darko immediately went to the computer in the room and plugged in his two wires into the computer and I plugged in mine afterwards.

"Now we just head back into the TARDIS and start the process." I walked back into the TARDIS with the others and headed to the console area.

"How long do you think this will take?" Troy asked. He started to look more excited as we kept moving around but I did see apprehension in his eyes.

"Not sure but I wouldn't think it will take more than a half hour." I said as I got to the computer screen on the console and saw that everything seemed to be connected up. "Now let's do this." I pushed a button on the console and suddenly the TARDIS sounded like it was working. Not the same sound like it was dematerializing and traveling but almost like it was scanning. "Now we wait." I said.

I moved away from the console area and motioned Troy to follow me into the seating area of the TARDIS. We both sat down on the couch next to each other and stayed silent for a few seconds. I noticed that Darko was concentrating heavily on the console and seemingly ignoring us. Well not ignoring us but giving us space.

"So how have you been?" I asked Troy. It was a conversation I've been waiting to have with him for days. Just to know if he was ok with my life and me.

"I've been good, been working but other than that nothing really exciting. Probably nothing as exciting as what you've been up to." He smiled and I realized now that he hadn't been ignoring me he just didn't know how to initiate a conversation with me. I had been angry for nothing.

"Well since the adventure I haven't been fighting aliens if that's what you think. It's all been low grade stuff really. If anything this is probably the most exciting mission I've been on all week. The sneaking and discovery of an alien that is a computer virus is quite amazing. Plus it's nice to be able to help out a friend." With that we kept talking about what else we've been up to and I elaborated more on what it was that I did. But that all stopped once I heard a loud beeping noise coming from the console.

"What's that?" Troy asked. But I didn't have an answer I just raced to the console to figure out what was going on. Beeping was never good. Looking at the screen though gave me the answer I didn't want.

"The virus is fighting us. No no no no." I ran from the console area to the doors of the TARDIS and exited out. I pulled out the sonic and started scanning Troy's computer to see what the virus was doing. But I didn't need to figure it out since the unmistakable sound of the TARDIS doors slamming and a sudden groaning and whooshing sound made it all apparent.

The TARDIS was getting hijacked.

"Damnit, stop! Stop!" I yelled but couldn't do anything as the blue box disappeared in front of me.

To be Continued

Thank you for reading. When I wrote this I wasn't expecting it to be so long so I thought I could condense the two into one chapter and then realized it would be really long so decided to separate the one story into two chapter. So the next chapter (which has been written) will be coming out tomorrow. So please review this and then look out tomorrow for the second part.
