Amira Kitman looked around the corner and pushed down the dress.
"Why did you make me wear this?" Amira scowled, looking back. The dress was dark green with a darker green corset. The corset was stiff and really restricted her movement. The skirt, thanks to the petticoat, flowed out and made the dress flow father from her waistline. The skirt had some sort gem attached to the embroidery and trims that made the dress flashy. There was two layers of ruffles at the bottom and the sleeves were tightly fit until the elbows where it flowed out and cut off just before the wrists. She had no gloves, but a black ornate choker was around her neck.
"Because," the Doctor shut the door of the TARDIS. "It fits the times," The Doctor himself was wearing a tight-fitting, calf length frock coat that was black. Underneath was a dark green waistcoat. The shirt was a little loose-fitting with a low collar. The black trousers had a fly front and he had a black top hat with a wide brim. He stuck his thumb in the pocket of his trousers and tips his black hat with a grin at Amira.
Amira scowled at him.
"I can barely walk," she shot at him.
"Yes, I can see that," the Doctor noted and he started forward but stumbled. Amira's eyes widened and she started forward, but the Doctor slid down next to the TARDIS, breathing hard.
"It's okay," he mutterted. "I'm okay..."
"What do you need?" Amira asked.
"Cane...cane would be good..."
"And where's that?"
"Inside..."
"I was afraid you were going to say that. Give me a key, I'll get it for you,"
The Doctor reached into his pocket, fumbled, before giving the key to Amira. Amira took it and walked into the TARDIS. She looked at the walkway and started down one of the hallways. She peeked into some doors, but nothing was ever right.
"I'm trying to help the Doctor!" Amira shouted. "HELP ME!"
Her voice echoed along the corridors and there was a pause before the TARDIS rumbled back. Amira frowned and headed down the corridor. It winded around, but Amira stayed on the same corridor. She headed down, trailing her fingers along the wall.
Thump thump thump
Amira gasped and pulled away, eyes fluttering. She took a deep breath and pressed her hand to the wall.

"This is one corner of one country, in one continent, on one planet that's a corner of a galaxy that's a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shriking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And there is so much, so much...to see,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Go on in your beliefs, and I shall in mine,"
Thumpthumpthumpthumpthump
"Being alive right now is all that counts,"
Thumpthumpthumpthumpthump
"You don't just give up! You don't just let things happen! You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts do what's right, even when everyone else just runs away!"
Thumthumpthumpthumpthumpthump
"...fear can make you kind. It does't matter if there's nothing under your bed or in the dark so long as you know it's okay to be afraid of it. So listen...fear can bring you home..."
Thumpthumthumpthumpthump
"We're always stories in the end...just make it a good one,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"What's wrong with scared? Scared is a super power!"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Have a fantastic life..."
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Together or not at all,"
Thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump
"You might say I've been doing this my whole life,"
"Cross the boundaries that divide one universe from another,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Good luck,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Standing by!"
Thumpthumpthump
"Commencing calculations,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Soon be there,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"Just lock on to his coordinates,"
Thumpthumpthumpthump
"And for my next trick!"
"My worst nightmare...All twelve of them!"
"No, sir...all Thirteen!"
Thumpthumpthump
Amira gasped when she saw the Doctor wildly clicking controls. The man who said "my worst nightmare," came over.
"Do it...Just...do it, Doctor...Just do it," there was a pause.
"Okay. Gentlemen...we're ready. Geronimo!"
"Allons-y!"
"Oh for God's sake," the Doctor Amira was watching, chuckled. "Gallifrey stands!" the Doctor grabbed a handle and they hurtled towards something. Amira was thrown about and managed to catch a glimpse of the planet they were hurtleing towards.
"For Gallifrey," Amira's Doctor whispered and then Amira was pulled away.

Amira screamed and fell to the ground.
She panted, trying to collect her thoughts. Her hand closed around something and she looked to see a black cane with a white bulb at the top.
"Oh now you give that to me," Amira snarked and stumbled to her feet. She somehow found her way out and the Doctor, who was now standing.
"Ah thanks!" the Docto rook it but then looked at Amira who was wincing and holding her head. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, fine," Amira rasped. "Just...something in my head.." she shook her head and smiled. "Now. Victorian London. You took me here for a trip. Let's enjoy," She linked her arm with his and the Doctor reluctnalty followed her down the street.
...thump...thump...
Walking around, the Docotr would randomly sprout facts and Amira surprisngly had a good time. But then it was time to go.
...thump..thump...thump...
"You sure?" the Doctor looked at Amira. "You sure that's it?"
"Yeah," Amira nodded. "go on without me, Doctor." The Doctor walked reluctanly into the TARDIS, only to pop back out a second later.
"Here," the Doctor shuffled around some paper and handed Amira a phone number. "Just in case," and then he left.
... ... ..

The Doctor sighed and looked at his glowing hands. He had held it off long enough. Time to go himself.
With a shout, the Doctor through his head back and regenerated...back into himself.
Startled, the Doctor touched his face, before racing to find a mirror. Sure enough, there was himself. The Doctor gaped, frozen speechless.
What happened?!
_MORE_OF_12_THAN_13_
Amira rubbed her aching head, trying to identify what exactly was causing it.
thumpthump
Amira's eyes widened.
thumpthumpthump
"No..." Amira moaned. "No..."
thumpthumpthumpthump
"No!" Amira cried. "I want this to be over!"
thumpthumpthumpthumpthump
Scrambling, Amira grabbed her phone
thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump
She dialed the Doctor's number.
thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump
"Doctor!" she called. "Please get me! I need help! I don't-I wanted this to be over! It isn't...oh Doctor...please..." Amira, feeling faint, collapsed on the ground.
