Kim followed the Doctor out of her apartment and into the alleyways of London. There was something different about him, something she couldn't put her finger on, but she liked it. She was a huge science fiction fan, so helping a guy being chased by alien creatures was her kind of thing. She wondered if he had anything to do with that alien ship over Earth on Christmas last year and she'd even heard rumours about a flying telephone box.
He called a taxi and told the driver where to go.
"Where are we going?" asked Kim.
"You'll see."
They drove and sat through traffic for about an hour until they finally got out of the car. The Doctor paid the driver and they got out of the taxi.
"Follow me," said the Doctor.
She followed him down the road and took in the scenes around her. There were people trying to sell others pieces of useless crap, markets and a few tramps that she felt sorry for. She didn't have any money on her, but the Doctor did and he chucked them a couple of notes each.
They came to an old, blue police box. She watched the Doctor as he got a key out of his pocket and unlocked the locked on the police box. He stepped inside and after a few seconds said, "You coming or not?"
Slightly confused, Kim stepped inside the police box. She stood in shock as she saw the size of the inside. It was huge, way bigger on the inside than on the outside. "It's…it's…" she trailed off.
"I think it's rather homey," said the Doctor, as he got that weird screwdriver out of his pocket again and began to buzz it against things.
Still slightly shocked, Kim shut the doors and looked around. "What is this place?"
"It's the TARDIS."
She raised an eyebrow. "The what?"
The Doctor smiled. "The TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space."
"Whatever," she said as she walked up to him. "So what are we going to do?"
"Well, we are going to find out what the Zorgs wanted, that's pretty obvious, and then we're going to get rid of them," he said.
"How, and where are going to get rid of them to? Where did they come from?"
The Doctor sighed. He didn't really want to tell her. The less she knew, the safer she was, but she had saved his life. "They come from a planet far, far away. On the opposite side of the galaxy actually, and they're after me and I intend to find out why," he said, fiddling with his sonic screwdriver. "Come on."
He walked past her and headed for the door. "Where are we going?"
"To get answers."
