Interlude ONE

The Doctor led the Professor into the TARDIS, which was situated on the cloud above London. "So, what did you want to show me?" The Professor asked as he followed the Doctor in the TARDIS.

"This..." the Doctor said, as the lights inside the console room turned on and the Professor saw that the interior of the TARDIS had changed. Gone was the colourful design that the Professor had travelled in with his father, Amy and Rory. Now it was white and sleek, with lights streaming around the sides.

"Wow..." the Professor said, his breath taken away.

"You like it, huh?" The Doctor asked.

"Like it? I love it. But what made you change it?"

"Oh, the old design reminded me of Amy. I needed to take my mind off her."

"Oh. I understand," the Professor said, looking at the console. He stopped when he came to something familiar on the console. "Is this...?"

"The compass fro the Enchanted Forest? Yes it is. Fully integrated into the TARDIS. Now it will be easier to go to those bubble universes..."

"Yep," the Professor said smiling, as he went to find Belle throughout the TARDIS. He found her in the TARDIS library, curled up in a sofa, reading a book. "Hey..." he said, going up to her.

Belle looked up. Hey," she said with a smile. "Clara get home okay?"

"Yeah. She got home ok," he said, sitting beside her, putting Clara's shawl on his lap.

"Good to see you've gotten over Oswin..."

"Yeah. I guess I have. With Clara, I feel what you feel when you're with Rumple."

Belle smiled. "Well, I guess you two are meant to be with each other, forever."
