As soon as their eyes meet the Doctor flips out a pair of black glasses, placing them on as he smiles widely.

"Look at you! You're even smaller than I thought!" he exclaims. Lore nods slowly at the reaction, glancing at where his hands might be. Seeing them away and with no intention of moving she then steps out into the light.

"T-the n-name's Lore," she calls, her nerves getting the best of her once again. She trusts he won't grab her but seeing how tall he is while standing a good four feet off the ground is enough to make her heart leap.

"Nice to meet you Lore. So, how'd you get on my ship?" Her eyes widen at that, confused beyond comprehension. She's never heard of a ship before. A boat, train, car, and airplane, but ship is a new term for her.

"Ship?"

"Yep. The TARDIS is my ship and my way of getting around the universe without worrying of crash landing. She's a bit old but loved enough to survive." The Doctor smiles widely at his speech, looking up at the ceiling with a prideful glint. Lore on the other hand doesn't even know what the universe is. She thinks back to ever hearing the two words on a show or movie, but nothing comes up. The couple did tend to watch movies about real life and love stories. It's weird how they never ventured away from that genre. Maybe if she was still home they'd be watching something about a universe…

"You okay Lore?"

Lore jerks back at the sudden question, quickly nodding her head. "Yes Doctor. I just, I don't know what a ship or a universe is," she mutters. Her head ducks down in embarrassment.

This man who has been so kind to her obviously wants to talk and beam about his prized possession. The borrower would love to hear about it but there seems to be a barrier of language between the two. Maybe he isn't talking english or she hasn't watched the right movies in the vent to know as much as she thought she knew about humans. Either way Lore better learn fast or get left behind on a few stories.

"Would you like me to show you?"

Her head snaps up at the question, eyes wider than humanly possible. Meeting his eyes the Doctor laughs and winks at the tiny girl. "Really? You wouldn't mind showing me what they are?"

"'Course not!" He suddenly jogs around the console to the other side as he begins to press a series of buttons.

"But wouldn't I slow you down! Or take your time away!" She's not answered as the deafening noise of the wheezing engine fills the room. Lore grabs hold of the lever she once hid behind while attempting to cover her ears. The entire room shakes and tilts like it won't ever stop. It stops just as suddenly though, a wide grinning Doctor walking over with the glasses off and hands in his pockets.

"Take my time away? For me that's not possible. But even if it was per say I'd love to show you everything I know. It's a bit better than everyone else I've talked to, all paying attention to money and family and frankly seem to know everything I'm about to say. I'm spontaneous I tell you!" Lore laughs at his rant and peels herself away from the lever. Reaching the edge her paper clip is out in a second as she looks up to his gleaming face.

"I'm glad I could help. How about a deal then to make it up to you?"

"A deal?" he mutters, eyebrows furrowed thoughtfully.
"I sort of owe you Doctor. For not grabbing me or anything like that. Thank you by the way but I kind of feel like I need to offer something in return. So, after doing me a favor in showing me the universe, you get to ask a favor of me." Lore slides her paper clip into the small space between the two different metals of the console and looks up at the towering man expectantly. She half believed he would wrinkle his nose, not wanting anything from a two inch tall borrower who couldn't possibly do anything helpful. On the contrary, he surprises her yet again as he bounces on the balls of his feet excitedly.

"Deal! And it can change if one or the other isn't comfortable." He reaches his hand out with a single finger extended at this proclamation. Lore stares at the giant digit, scared it might move and sweep her off the high console, but it simply sits there with waves of heat washing over her. Taking a deep breath Lore extends a hand and grips as much of the first finger she can.

Overwhelmed by heat her eyes widen at how soft it actually is to the touch, giving in a bit to the pressure her hand puts on the pad. Her body melts into the warmness she's never been able to feel, no matter how many blankets she throws over herself. All in all it's an incredible feeling.

"Deal."

"Alright then! Let's go!" Lore nods fast and leaps off the console into the air, the fishing line already over the edge and waiting for her to grab it. Like before she quickly grabs the line before she's too close to the ground, halting about half an inch above the holed floor. She keeps smiling, the expression plastered onto her face, as she reels in the paper clip hopefully one final time. When she turns to the human though, the smile quickly dissipates.

He stands right next to her, showing a perfect view of black converse pointed directly at her and standing barely above her height. His brown clad legs seem to stretch for miles as she slowly looks up. At his knees Lore finds herself bending back just to see the rest of him. Never has she been this close to a human before on the ground, but him being taller than most throws the reality she's helpless against this giant no matter who he is right into perspective.

The only thing that keeps her from running is the wide smile stretched across his beaming face.

"That was bloody brilliant," the Doctor winks. Lore glances up to the console, much closer than the man's face, but still fairly high above the ground. For her at least.

"Oh. Sorry." Lore rubs her aching hands against her pants, mad at her for doing the same thing twice in one day. They'll ache even more in the morning but she was too excited to remember her calluses aren't strong enough to stop the burns from that stunt from forming. "I just got a bit excited. I'm not supposed to do it."

"I could understand that. It seems dangerous, but we don't have to tell anyone." Lore laughs and looks at the door.

"Er, how can you show me the universe?"

"Glad you asked! Come on now!"

The giant black shoes suddenly spin and quickly walk away from where Lore stands. At first she becomes a bit petrified, able to see a sliver of the underside of the shoe, but it passes as she runs to follow the man. He promised he wouldn't hurt her and he hasn't given her any reason to not believe that so she can't get jumpy by an everyday action.

"Alright. This is the universe. Just don't walk outside or else you might lose gravity's effect," the Doctor says once she reaches the phone booth's doors. She nods from the ground as a question forms in her head about gravity, but that's for later.

With a flourish the doors swing open to reveal a black sky. The center of the view is a cluster of balls of light, different shades of read and blues mixed into the dark outline. A few white dots are scattered faintly around the cluster of light, and it all seems to be moving like clouds in the sky. No breeze comes and no air is sucked away from the two watching the scene, safe as they experience one of the world's greatest wonders.

"Wha, what is it?" Lore breathes. Never before has she seen something so beautiful, so breathtaking. It's as if everything wonderful in the world got smashed onto a black canvas.

"That's the universe from about four million light years away. Earth is over in that section." Lore jumps at hearing him so close, nearly having a heart attack when his long arm stretches to her right to point at the top of the ball of lights. All is forgiven though as she soaks in the information.

"What's Earth."

"Where New York City is. A planet with the frailest creatures I've ever met. The universe consists of stars, giant balls of gas a thousand times my size, and planets, much like stars in size but they don't cast any light. Earth is next to the sun, a giant star that lights up the world in the day and casts it into darkness at night. This though is the picture of billions and billions of stars and planets all seen from one angle."

As he spoke Lore nodded her head at certain points. She knew what New York City was, learning it so if something ever happened she could get back to her family. But apparently New York was really small. And so was the planet it was on compared to everything else glowing in front of her. Humans apparently aren't as big as they seem to be.

"Stars are bigger than you?" she asks. The Doctor chuckles and she feels the air shift behind her as he nods.

"Yep. And so is Earth. It's the only way for people like you and me to walk on. Without it we'd simply float in space aimlessly. Or just never be created." This earns his own nod from Lore as she tears her eyes away from the beautiful scene. As much as she'd love to stare at it as long as she lived, she knew she had to pay the Doctor back for doing such an incredible thing. After that she might have to settle for the grand view if he wants to drop her off.

Lore has so many more questions in her mind after what the Doctor gave her. But if he didn't want to answer them, she could live knowing at least one human was trustworthy.

"Alright Doctor. Now it's your turn."
