"Oh My God!"
Stevie walked into what she thought was a tiny old school police box and instead saw a massive room. The room was held up by space-age pillars that criss-crossed throughout the entire room. And in the middle was a sight Stevie always loved seeing – new technology. She darted to the centre of the room to what looked to be the control board.
"This is amazing Doctor, I've never seen anything like it. What IS it?"
Stevie saw the Doctor peering at her, as if x-raying her. She wasn't sure if she liked that.
"Gallifrey technology, Stevie. Last of its kind"
Stevie noticed the fleeting sad look on the Doctor's face. He must have noticed her looking, too, as immediately after he exclaimed,
"Right, off we go! Ready Martha, Stevie?"
Without waiting for their answers, he pulled on a large lever in the centre of the control board. Suddenly, the TARDIS gave a big lurch which caused Stevie to grab onto the nearest pillar. The Doctor pulled up his chair and sat, resting his legs on the control board. She saw Martha pull out a magazine and begin reading. Stevie deduced that it would be a long and smooth ride. However, not five minutes later, the TARDIS gave another lurch, which caused Martha to put down her magazine and gather up her coat. The Doctor also gather his coat, and took what looked to be some kind of screw driver and placed it in his coat pocket. They walked towards the door of the TARDIS. Stevie grabbed her own coat and followed them. They stepped out into the sunlit Roald Dahl Plass.
"Ahh, Cardiff, Wales. Fantastic place, one of my favourites" the Doctor exclaimed. He began walking and Martha and Stevie walked eagerly alongside him.
"Now, be on your guard you two. The man we are meeting-"
"You mean the gorgeous, wonderful, completely shag-worthy guy?" Stevie cut in.
"Precisely, Stevie. Now, he has…a way about him, a certain charm. So control yourselves, ladies".
Stevie made a shocked face.
"Doctor, what do you take us for? We are strong women who are not easily swayed by men's charms!"
The Doctor held up his hands in mock surrender.
"Please forgive me Stevie", he added with a chuckle. However, Stevie was positive she had heard him whisper to Martha "Keep an eye on her".
The three travelers reached a door with the heading "TORCHWOOD, PRIVATE PROPERTY" etched in the wooden door frame. Martha pushed on the door and the three of them walked inside. They saw a man standing at a reception, typing on a computer. He looked up as they walked in and stopped typing. The Doctor stepped forward.
"Hello Ianto. I am the Doctor, and these are my companions Martha and Stevie. I have come to see Captain Jack Harkness".
Stevie saw Ianto's eyes widen when the Doctor mentioned who he was.
"Go through Doctor, Captain Harkness said to let you in if ever you visited Torchwood".
Ianto pressed a button that caused a thick metal door to open.
"Thank you, Ianto. Goodbye". Stevie and Martha said goodbye also and walked through the door. The Doctor turned towards Martha and Stevie.
"Now, this is a dangerous place. Be on your guard, stay with me and do NOT walk into any open doors. Understand?"
Martha and Stevie nodded. The three of them walked down a hallway, past many closed doors. Stevie lagged behind slightly. She walked past a door with a bright glowing light. She liked the way it looked. She felt good. She did not care anymore about what the Doctor said. She completely forgot about the Doctor and Martha and walked into the light. Suddenly the light dimmed and Stevie's good feelings instantly stopped. She wished she could turn back, but she was drawn to the creature in the middle of the room behind a thick pane of glass. She walked right up to the glass, not taking her eyes off the creature. Suddenly, it looked up, and she saw its hideous face. It ran towards her. She screamed and turned to run, instead knocking into something – no, someone. She fell onto them and pushed them to the ground.
"You know, a bed would be a more appropriate place to do what we are doing. Shall we go?".
She looked down and found it hard to breathe. The Doctor was right – he did have a certain charm, without even saying a word. And he was even more shag-worthy in person.
