Disclaimer: I own none of this, only my original character Mels and the arranging of the words. The rest belongs to the great writers at BBC.
Summary: Mels has a normal boring life. She gets up in the morning, goes to school, comes home and does homework. This has been her life for the past few years until one day something interesting finally happens. She finds a box. A big, blue box with a man in it. This sparks the biggest adventure of her life.
The man made a little 'ahh' sound as if he'd just realized something. He shook his head at her, uncrossing his arms and straightening his bow tie.
"Call me the Doctor." he said simply.
"The Doctor? What sort of doctor?" Mels asked the man suspiciously, cerulean blue eyes narrowed. The man called the Doctor chuckled and turned to face his smoking box, hands behind his back as he leaned over to examine the blue police box.
"I'm just the Doctor." he responded, confusing Mels even further. She shook her head, putting her hands up to stop him.
"Okay, come on! Really, who are you? You can't just be a doctor!" she huffed angrily. "What're you? Science? Chemistry? Pediatrics? Neurology? Am I close to hitting home?" she asked desperately. She hated not understanding things. 'The Doctor' just shrugged.
"I'm a doctor of everything." he retorted, pointing his metal cylinder at the smoldering wreck of the police box. Suddenly, the end lit up with a green light and a high pitched whirring sound was heard as he ran the light over the police box. Mels was getting annoyed with this man.
"You can't be a doctor of everything! That's not possible." Mels' voice was very stern and firm, not leaving any room for doubt. The man suddenly turned, this time frowning.
"I'm The Doctor, simple as that. I'm a doctor of everything, master of time and protector of Earth." he said in a low, rushed tone. Mels blinked, starting to wonder if she was safe.
"'Doctor of everything, master of time and protector of Earth.'?" she echoed slowly, trying to put it all together. A man with a smoking blue box was standing in front of her claiming these wild things. He couldn't be sane. She started to back away. Her mother would be worried about her.
"Yes, I'm exactly that and nothing more. Well, I'm actually a lot more." he commented casually, opening the door to his box and disappearing into it. Mels looked shocked that he went back into a smoking box. She hovered hesitantly around the box for a couple minutes before taking a deep breath and stepping towards the box. Loud banging and clattering was heard and his voice was loud as he shouted things that made absolutely no sense. She very slowly and cautiously opened the door, wondering what he could be doing in there. Then she saw what it was.
The police box wasn't really a police box...it was octagonal sort of shaped room except the corners were a bit rounded. It was a pale white with silver lines through it all in odd futuristic pattern. There was a huge console smoking in the middle of the large room. The man called the Doctor was pushing buttons and pulling levers, even hitting it with a hammer. He didn't even notice Mels as he cried,
"Come on you sexy thing, work!" Mels backed out of the police box, not even caring as she tripped and stumbled out back into the woods, falling on her bottom. Her cyan eyes were ginormous, threatening to pop out of her head. She jumped to her feet and raced around the box, patting the sides to see if something was off about it. There wasn't. Four feet wide, four feet across, solid wood. This didn't make sense. She rushed back around to the front, skidding around the corner of the box. She gripped the sides of the box to steady herself as she stumbled back in, breathless from her run around the police box. Mels' eyes were huge and she looked pale.
"Y-your box!" she gasped, the man turning and smirking slightly at her.
"What about my box?" he inquired, looking like he was fighting a huge smile. Mels sputtered, fighting to find words.
"I-it's...it's bigger on the inside!" she cried finally, throwing her hands wildly into the air. The man laughed and clapped his hands together looking delighted.
"It's about time I heard someone say that." he crowed, turning and starting to hammer on the huge console once more. Mels just couldn't believe it and found it hard to breathe.
"What is this...?" she questioned him in an awed voice, eyes wide once more. She just couldn't fathom it. This shouldn't be happening, should it? How was something bigger on the inside? That was physically impossible, right? The Doctor laughed and shook his head at her.
"Welcome to my TARDIS!" he cried enthusiastically, throwing his arms wide and literally, twirling in a circle.
"What the hell is a TAR-" Mels question was cut off when the TARDIS started to shake and jerk, the doors closing.
"Uh oh..." said the Doctor, looking worried as he started to fiddle with the buttons, levers and pulleys. That didn't reassure Mels. That just made her even more worried. What could make this man say 'uh oh'?
"Uh oh? What's uh oh? Let me out of here!" Mels shouted, running towards the door. She wanted to go home. She wanted to see her mother. The Doctor spun around, still whacking incessantly at his console.
"Oi, I wouldn't do that if I were you!" he warned, freezing Mels in her place. Mels turned, backing away from him. He was a madman. A madman with a blue box. She should've known better.
"G-get away from me, you...you kidnapper!" she snapped, reaching for the door handle.
"No, Mels, really! Don't do that!" The Doctor shouted, but it was too late. Mels threw the door open, prepared to step out when she froze. There were stars around her. Planets, the milky way, the deep blue sky. Mels could even feel the chill. How was she breathing?! She stumbled back, eyes huge.
"Where in the bloody hell are we?" she gasped out, not knowing if she was afraid or enthralled.
"Well, you're sort of in space..."
