Its been about...two weeks?...two years?...two hundred years?! I could never really keep track since I...well...travel in a time machine that I live in!... I don't get out much... I really should do that...Wait...oh yes I saying that it has been awhile since I last saw...Allison...She did help me defeat the cybermen with great bravery and yet I find myself missing her company. Nothing big just a friend to talk to...a...what was the word I called them?...COMPANIONS! Yes that's it, companions. She wasn't like my last companion...she was...she seemed very...trustworthy. No! I must not go back to that dreadful planet Earth again! Its messing with my head. I been traveling to long by myself I think.

"What do you think old girl?" I ask my always faithful friend.

Silence reaches my ears like it always does and I move on to flipping switches and trying to figure out where I want to go again when suddenly a loud bang sounded from outside my ship. What and the blazes is going on? I'm in space...SPACE... there is no sound here! I ran to my screen and switched it on to view the outside when once again a bang sounded, but this time my ship was hit.

"NO NO NO!" I shouted running around trying to get her back on course and my shields up. "Come on old girl don't fail me now!"

Soon I was over ran by bangs and hits. I don't know who they are or what they want, but what i do know is that I need to land now or I will crash. Great what a lovely day for a crash!

"I need coordinates...I got to think...think think.." I say in a rush. "Oh! I got it!" I rush over and quickly push in the first numbers that i know would take me somewhere safe, but I was to late. By the time i pushed in the coordinates the last laser hit causing my ship to spin out of control and crash land in the forever familiar London... Yes this is definitely my lucky day.. NOT!

Everything is black...what happened? Why does my head hurt? Am I dead? No if I was dead I wouldn't be feeling this way. I feel around, something very solf is underneith me and above me, blankets? Oh! I'm on a bed covered up. Good that makes me feel safe. Wait! Where am I at? I peek out from underneith one of my eye lids to see her again.

"Allison?" I say stupidly. "What how did I get here and why are you here?"

She jumps at the sudeden sound of my voice. "Oh thank God you are live!" She says taking a deep breath of air.

"Yes I am alive." I mumble, it is way to easy to just let me die. NO! I must not think that way!

"Good so I can do this then." She slaps my arm quite hard.

"Ow!" I whine rubbing the spot where she just hit. "I really hope you don't treat everyone that you bring injured into your home like this."

"YOU ARE NOT INJURED!" She shouted, "YOU ARE NOT EVEN WOUNDED! YOU JUST SHOWED UP ALL RAGGED AT MY DOORSTEP. HOW DID YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE I LIVED?"

"I-" I try to explain but she cuts me off.

"I meet you once and you seem to know a lot about me!" She whispers darkly. "So you better start explaining now!"

"I was about to start explaining when you cut me off." I say slightly irritated as I rub my head and sit up. "No Allison I didn't know where you lived-and before you protest that idea." I say quickly because she had every reason to interrupt me. "I have a question."

She waits a second before saying. "What question?"

"How did I end up on your doorstep?"

"I don't know you walked?" She says getting more and more irritated as time went on. "You knocked on my door looking like rubbish and you passed out."

"And you where not concurred enough to call a doctor or the police?" I asked trying to get to the bottom of why I'm not in some hospital or under arrested or being pushed through a laboratory because of the fact I have two hearts.

"I-I well...you see...I just had a feeling I shouldn't I mean... I don't know, but I know that I will call the police if you try anything funny!"

"You are ever so sweet Allison." I say smiling, she is smart.

"Shut up," she retorts back with a smile. "I'm not done with being mad at you."

"Why would you be mad? I'm back like I said I would."

"Oh yeah showing up randomly on my doorstep is the best way to come back. ITS BEEN 5 YEARS!" She shouts that last part and me and turns her back to me.

"Allison I did tell you it might be a while and I am sorry I scared you a few minutes ago I honestly didn't know I would end up looking like I did and I didn't know I would be showing up at your house," I rub my face the exhaustion is starting to creep up on me. "I swear I just put in random coordination's when they hit me off course."

She turns back to me with concern, anger for the moment gone. "Do you know what hit you?"

"No, no I do not Allison, but I will find out, I always find out even if I don't really want to know or care."

"Allison I have another question."

She signs and says, "What is it?"

"Do you happen to know what happed to the T.A.R.D.I.S?"

She shakes her head looking sad. "No Doctor I do not know where she is at."

I jump out of the bed only causing to me to fall back down in the sitting position. "Woops," I say with a laugh when Allison gets up to catch me. "Got up to fast."

"Doctor I really think-"

"No!" I say a little to loudly. "Sorry, I mean I really should find her, who knows what could happen to her when she is so unprotected."

"Well I am coming with you!" She says as she follows me out the door, but when I stop to protest her she cuts me off. "Shut up, I am coming with you no matter what, I have seen one creature you fight on a daily basis and I am not letting you go out on your own when you don't even know what is after you and that is that!"

I start to explain that it could be to dangerous when I can tell that it would be a lost cause. So instead I nod and turn to leave trying to find my more and likely broken ship.

It took more then two hours to find her. She was half inside a small duck pond, lucky for me the doors where closed and sticking out of the water.

"Give me about 5 minutes to get inside and make sure everything is safe so I can move her out of this muck." I say looking over her exterior.

"No wonder she was so easily brought down." Allison says shaking her head. "She is TINY!" She starts to laugh.

"Hey!" I protest, "She is not tiny and she is hurt! This is not the time to be laughing!"

Slowly she starts to sober up when she says sorry but there is still laugher ringing in her voice.

She watches me climb in and fall inside. When I get in the T.A.R.D.I.S makes the gravity upright from me so I can walk around on the floor. (You would not believe how hard it is to get foot prints off the roof.) Everything surprisingly looks okay. A couple of broken wires and switches, I go over and check the engines, yup everything is okay. So I deiced to move her out of the little duck pond.

I open the doors to see Allison running over to me.

"How and the hell did it do that?" She asks in shock and awe.

"She flew," I say with a smile blocking her peeking eyes from viewing the inside just yet. "That's how she flies."

"She? Her? You act like it is alive." She says temporally forgetting about the fact that a police box just materialized from its previous spot to a bran new one.

"Well she is alive!" I say happily. "She been with me for a very long time."

"That doesn't make a machine alive," she snickers, "it just makes the pilot mad."

"I am very mad." I say with a little laughter, but sobering up to ask her very seriously, "would you like to see the inside?"

"See the inside?" She starts to laugh. "Its tiny Doctor. I think I could open the other door and see the whole thing in 5 seconds."

"Okay then." I say with a slight whimper, "I guess I will just go inside this tiny box and leave."

"Oh no you don't!" She shouts after me when I quickly close the door only a bit so she could still get in. I walk over to the console and wait.

"Doctor I mean it you better not-" She trails off..."What?" She says in complete awe. "What is this place?" she asks looking around trying to take in everything little detail. I smile soon she will be running back out.

"She is called the T.A.R.D.I.S. and she is my ship. Do you like?"

She just stares at me then runs back outside then back in a couple of times saying 'impossible' and 'this madness, utter madness' before finally running up to the console and me looking me straight in the eye and mouthed 'its bigger on the inside.'

"I'm sorry Allison dear I couldn't hear you." I say putting my cupping my hand around my ear when she yells "Its bigger on the inside!"

"Really now? Are you sure? Because a few minutes ago you were saying she was tiny."

"Oh shut up! How does this even work?"

"Its long and boring explanation how about a trip instead?" I say avoiding the question.

"Go where?" She asks looking around the large room that had my language written all over the walls and above our heads on the gears.

I look up in thought when I remember back to a time when I used these words to make a little someone smile with joy. "Any where you like."
