Agape. Her mouth was agape.
At what, you asked? Well, you do know the Doctor's time machine, right?
And if you ever stepped into his TARDIS, how would you react, to a machine that is bigger on the inside than the outside?
Yep, our Liz's eyes were wide and her mouth was agape, looking into the spacious room in the Doctor's time machine.
The Doctor just strolled around the console, checking the handbrakes, pushing some buttons and stuff.
He doesn't say anything to her, knowing everyone's initial reaction to a big, blue box that is literally more than meets the eye.
Liz tried to regain her composure, and miserably failed. Her legs shook due to shock.
She fell down onto the floor with thud.
"H-How, i-is th-this thing, bigger o-on the i-inside?"
The Doctor sighed. He knew that question would be the only one to come out of a person's mouth upon entering the TARDIS.
"My planet's technology is much more advanced than what your world has, just to say. The TARDIS was designed to be like this by doing some dimensional engineering on the inside. Also, this used to be a big, cylinder type of booth, but the Chameleon Circuit was broken and she got stuck like that. Or at least, I thought it was broken. Maybe it was still broken, but who knows?"
He went away from the console and grabbed her hand.
"Come on! We're going somewhere else where there's food for aliens and locals."
The Doctor closed the door and went back to the console. He typed in some numbers and letters, supposedly coordinates for a location out of this world.
Liz regained her composure, and then she reacted by shrieking into the Doctor's ear.
"WHAT!? NO! I'M NOT GOING AWAY FROM MY HOME! PLEASE LET ME OUT!"
She started to scratch at the door, desperate for escape.
The Doctor then came from behind and grabbed her in an embrace.
"You know, I promised myself to never hug someone. But then again, you're going for trouble yourself. So, I'm just hugging you to keep you from being more annoying than before."
He then released her and went back to the console. He continued typing the coordinates in and then pulled the throttle.
The TARDIS shook as she de-materialized from the alley.
Liz pulled her knees to her chest, hugging them tight.
"Where are we going?" She asked slowly.
The Doctor looked at her.
"I told you, we're going to an outer space restaurant. We're taking some dinner, because you look...well, unhealthy."
Liz instantly stood up, making the Doctor stepped back in shock and surprise.
She pointed a finger at him, saying, "I'll have you know my diet is already enough to keep me alive for several years. And I really like to do exercises whenever I have the time."
The Doctor looked into her eyes, and then at her hand. He put his hand on hers and slowly lowered her hand.
"Well, at least keep your cool. And your language too, if you have that kind of mouth to do so."
Soon, the TARDIS materialized...somewhere, in the outer space.
"Come on, you girly bun, let's go."
He opened the door and went out to where ever they'd materialized at.
Liz stayed for a few minutes, processing all the thing's happening.
Without thinking more of the situation, she went out of the door.
