Chapter 12

I then quickly stood up and checked the screen. My eyes filled with joy to see Amy and Rory again. They still didn't seem to see me nor hear me yet. Apparently, our messages took about four minutes to go through. I waited a while longer as I watched Amy and Rory try to understand what was going on. I then did a test and spoke to the camera saying

"Can you guys hear me?"

This time, it took them about three minutes to respond to my question.

All they said was "LOUD AND CLEAR".

I then saw how Amy's and Rory's faces lit up and said that they could see me now. But I'm guessing that they were watching what I did approximately three minutes ago.

So I asked them "Can you guys hear me AND see me?"

Now it took them only two minutes to respond.

I then noticed that the signal was gradually gaining strength.

I was about to ask them something else and I heard Amy ask me "Where are you?"

"Mars" I responded.

She immediately said, "So are we! Why did the Tardis take us here?"

The signal had clearly fixed itself. We could now see and hear each other perfectly. They asked me how I got there, and I explained to them that I was on my way to Hawaii and the Tardis started to malfunction and ended up taking me to Mars. They then told me that the Tardis had transported itself in front of their house and that they went inside. The same thing happened to them. I explained to them that I had been on Mars for seven days and that I had to change the time-traveling fluid. I also told them that I ended up having a fire in the Tardis due to the sparks. I explained to them how I managed to go out into the Martian land without any help from any space suit or any technology. They were surprised, but, it's not surprising...I'm not human.
