Author's Notes: This is just a filler chapter to follow the friendship bond between Cadence and the Doctor. It's really cute, I promise :3 My History could be wrong but... it never was my strong suit so bear with the errors if there are.

Chapter 4

Bonding

"Before we leave, what do you want to do in here? There are plenty of things to do in the TARDIS what with her being bigger on the inside and all." The Doctor asked as Cadence balanced herself out again after the rough landing. "I don't know... Do you have a library?" she asked as her eyes wandered towards the ramp that led to whatever rooms there were.

"Oh yes! There's also a hidden swimming pool but it always moves from one place to another. " The Doctor shrugged and he grabbed Cadence's hand. He dragged her through twisting hallways, stairs and firepoles until they finally reached the library. "Brace yourself." he warned before opening the doors with a flourish. Cadence couldn't help her jaw from dropping.

The library was huge. Really huge. Rows and rows of books lined the walls and even parts of the ceiling. She couldn't form coherent words to thank the Doctor and she did so in her own way - with a tackle-hug. If wind could be knocked out of the Doctor, then she certainly would've accomplished that. She was hugging him furiously around the middle squealing the words 'thank you' or 'you're so awesome' repeatedly.

The Doctor got a strange sense of deja vu as he tried to pry the excited teenager off of his body. "Go and enjoy yourself, you're going to need it." She wasted no time as she bounded up the stairs and she squealed in delight once more. "No way! You have the whole Harry Potter series here!" The Doctor chuckled as he went up the stairs only to almost trip on his copy - autographed by the author herself - of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

"I know that this book contained the insufferable Dolores Umbridge, but you didn't have to mistreat it like that." he said jokingly picking up the book gently. Cadence didn't even listen as she said "OH MY GOD! You also have the scrolls from ancient Greece!" she ran towards the older section of the Library and he laughed once more at his companion's antics.

"Yes, given to me by the emperor himself. I believe the ones you are holding are the plans of the first Olympic games." Her green eyes - already wide - widened even more. She opened the scroll and scanned the whole page, taking in the designs and structural planning that the ancient Greeks wrote on this scroll. "They're amazing! After your special surprise, could we go and visit ancient Greece? I would love to see them build in action."

The Doctor nodded at how persistent Cadence was to learn things, maybe that came with growing up without a proper education. She may have read books but that was not enough to enhance such a young mind. He sat cross-legged next to her as she poured over the designs of many buildings known as ruins in Modern Greece.

She was behaving like a model student. She asked questions and the Doctor answered them patiently. She listened as the Doctor explained the various theories and mythologies with rapid attention. She reacted correctly and asked the perfect questions. The Doctor loves teaching her, especially since her objective is to learn more and remember more. She has a prodigious memory.

After Ancient Greece, she went over to Asian history which was harder to understand but she was fascinated by the terracotta soldiers and the wars for the colonization of the Philippines. She even took notes on the origin of Japanese sushi which got the Doctor laughing slightly at her determination to create the "Perfect Sushi."

"Hey Doctor?" Cadence asked after an hour and a half of studying about the KKK. "Mhhmm?" he asked closing a book entitled Philippine History: KKK edition "I'm craving fish fingers and custard for some strange reason... and a banana smoothie. Do you have a kitchen in here?" The Doctor's eyes twinkled and he grabbed her hand and dodged the many books littering the floor and headed through the hallways again until they reached the Kitchen.

The Doctor opened the fridge and half his body disappeared inside it. He pulled out a box of fish fingers and squirtable custard from New Earth. He placed them on the counter and pulled out a bunch of bananas, milk and all the other ingredients for a smoothie. "Geronimo!" he said with a glint of excitement in his brown eyes.

Cadence and the Doctor spent the entire time trying to make a good enough smoothie that's actually drinkable. The first try, it was too thick and Cadence joked that the Doctor invented banana mush for babies. He saved that in the fridge just in case. The fifth try, their smoothie wasn't all that smooth and there was at least 3 ice cubes still floating in the glass.

After 20 trials, 5 bunches of bananas, 2 smoothie wars and 6 cartons of milk later, they finally made the perfect smoothie and brought them to the console room along with the fish fingers and custard. "You should really work on your smoothie skills Mr. Time Lord." joked Cadence as they sat down on the glass floor of the console room.

"Says the girl who burned a banana. How could you do that in a blender?" Cadence threw her head back laughing and the Doctor squirted a bit of custard unto his fish finger and stuffed it in his mouth. "Whatever, you were still able to fix it anyway so... fine we're even." grumbled Cadence biting her fish finger. The Doctor's turn to laugh and he put his hands up in victory. "We should do this more often. This was fun."

The Doctor smiled down at her and he gave Cadence a one armed hug. "I barely had fun until you came in here." The teenager smiled and squirted custard unto the Doctor's hair and that was the start of the squirtable custard war... which lasted for 2 hours.
