Chapter 11

"W..." Lavender was having problems forming words. "W...What? H-how?" I danced out in front of her and spun in the clear air.

"I told you. Time and relative dimension in space. Time travel. Simple." I laughed at her face. Her grey-blue eyes were the size of dinner plates, roving around every little detail in sight.

"Have...Have we moved?"

"Well, geographicly, no. We're in the exact same spot we will be in some millenia. But technically," I paused and ran back into the TARDIS. "This is Pangea right now, so we are probably in some different country." I called out to her. " So we...are...In what would become modern day Herning, Denmark!" I laughed a little. I glanced back outside, but Lavender wasnt there. "Lavender?" I walked back out on to the grass. Lavender was walking around, her eyes now watery and a hand clamped over her mouth.

"Its okay." I said in a gentler voice. "Culture shock. Happens to everyone."

"I'm..." She murmmered. "I just time traveled. I'm in the-"

"Jurasic period." I finished her sentence for her.

"Jurasic period." She repeated. "I'm in the Jurasic period. I learned about this in school. We had this whole week one year dedicated to dinosaurs back in primary school. Archaeologists came in and talked and we read a book and everything. And now Im standing right in the middle of it!" She laughed.

"Shhh. Look." I pointed over her shoulder. On one of the branches was a bird. Or an early anchestor, given the time period. Lavender followed my gaze and froze. "Its an Archeopteryx." I whispered. "Carnivorous. First discovered in Solnhofen, Germany. Its belevied that they only lived in what would become Germany, but thats rubbish. Some fosils just dont survive." It cocked its head at us curiously.

"Will it eat us?" Lavender asked slowly.

"Probably not." I inched closer to her. The Archeopteryx hopped down to a lower brach. "Might try though." It make a squaking noise at us and began crawling closer.

"But its so tiny!" Lavender exclaimed. And it was. It was probably only a foot tall, and two or three feet long, larger than most birds, but not quite big enough to eat my leg.

"Dosen't stop it from doing some serious damage though." I whipered back. Suddenly, there was a huge crashing sound, a guteral roar, and the Archeopteryx flew away with another sqwuak. We both turned and our jaws dropped. Five massive dinosaurs were walking out of the forests, carelessly crashing into trees along the way.

"Brachiosaurus." I murmured in awe. I was so stunned that it took me a second to realise the path they were on would end up with one of them stepping on the TARDIS. "Lavender!" I shreiked. "Sight seeing is over! Hurry up!" I grabbed her hand and raced to the red doors. I never liked the idea of having it blend in with its suroundings, so i kept it as a red phone booth.

"What?" Lavender stumbled to catch up. "But...Dinosoars..."

"Will leave us stranded if we dont hurry up!" I called back. She didnt ask any more questions.

I slammed the doors open, took the smal staircase two at a time, and hurredly sent us into the time vortex. i sighed when I saw that we had just missed them.

"So, what'd you think?" I spun around and faced Lavender. She took a deep breath.

"...Intense." Was all she said. I smrked.

"Oh honey." I pressed a few more buttons and spun a dial. "Thats only the begining."
