p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanI closed the door behind me and grinned ear to ear at the sight that laid before me. First of all the box was much larger on the inside. Second of all, it was beautiful. A large console was in the center of the main room, with all the technology anyone could ever want. The architecture was breathtaking. "Well?" The Doctor asked, smiling, what I assumed was his signature 'mischievous little boy' style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Well, assuming that everyone says that 'its larger on the inside' I am going to just go with thank you. Thank you so much for letting me, a complete stranger, on to your magical spaceship." He smiled some more and Jane, from a nearby room hollered something that sounded like, 'Ha! Told you so Doctor!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I walked over to the consoles to examine as the Doctor stood near the door, arms crossed over his chest, and, of course, smiling. Jane came back into the main room with a handful of clothes. "Here you go," she said handing me the pile. "These are a few of my clothes. I am sure that you want to get out of your grimy boy ones. You can use your new room." Jane pointed to a room near one of the stair cases./p
p class="MsoNormal""Thanks," I said and walked over to the room. The room was quaint and tidy, perfect for me. The clothes that Jane had handed me were adorable and it took no time for me to create the perfect cute and comfy outfit. I quickly changed into a pleated gray skirt and a pink top, enjoying the chance to be girly. I shook out my mahogany hair like a wet dog, releasing the boyish ponytail that I had fastened it into. I then combed my fingers through it. It was still short but it had reached a length that was more comfortable with. I folded my pirate clothes and placed them on my bed and then left my new homely haven./p
p class="MsoNormal"As I walked back into the main room, Jane and the Doctor were squabbling. I slowed my pace in order to eavesdrop. "What do you mean Doctor? Is Usa-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Jane," the Doctor interrupted. "Yes I believe so. I just used one of the TARDIS's screens to do a background check. She is the girl who Frost told us about. 'The muggle girl with a wizard past; hanging from a bloodthirsty mast'. The girl in the prophecy who-"/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Broomhead *** Alakazam!" I yelled, accidentally letting the pirate in me out as I tripped over my own feet, falling to the ground and blowing my cover. Jane and the Doctor swiveled around as I picked myself off the ground. So much for being stealthy./p
p class="MsoNormal""Oh hi Usa!" Jane said, saving us all from awkward silence. "You look so cute in that outfit! I am so glad that I grabbed that when the Doctor and I were last in Japan!"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Thanks Jane!" I smiled. I walked over to the Doctor and Jane. The Doctor flipped a few switches and the whirring sound was made again. No doubt we had 'blasted off'. "So, Doctor where are we going?" Jane stared at the Doctor; it was like they could read each other's minds because they knew each other so well./p
p class="MsoNormal""Well," the Doctor began, just a bit flustered. "Off to London. Around 'present' time if this beauty," he gestured to his TARDIS console, "can manage."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Do I really get to go home? "Are you taking me home? I'll give you directions to the burrow if you want." Jane and the Doctor grimenced./p
p class="MsoNormal""Um, Usa, well the Dark Lord returned and he was destroyed, but things still need to be sorted out. People are looking for you too." I was speechless. So if I couldn't go home where was I going to go? Could I really stay with Jane and the Doctor? That sounded like a fabulous idea but something ragged in my brain telling me that it could not be that simple./p
p class="MsoNormal""So," the Doctor continued for Jane. "We would love for you to stay but Jane and I have some tricky business to attend too that requires us splitting up temporarily, reuniting long lost family, a cube of infinite power, and some more people bent on destroying and controlling the universe. What Jane and I decided is that you are going to stay and work with two good friends of ours. Don't worry; they are different but good people and you'll be both in London, and safe. Well, safe enough. Plus someone with your extraordinary background will be of great aid to them in their endeavors."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""Thanks," I said, trying to think of what to say to that. I really did wander around a lot. However adventure would be fun and at least I would be in London again and after being kidnapped by pirates, I think thatspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spancould handle anything. A console panel beeped./p
p class="MsoNormal""Ooo!" The Doctor exclaimed. "Looks like the TARDIS is being finicky today. Hey Usa, how do you feel about taking pit stop before we get to London?" I nodded, of course. I didn't want to leave new friends this quickly plus I was in a time traveling space ship! I wanted to see as much as I could before I returned to 'normal' life./p
p class="MsoNormal"Jane grinned peering at the panel to see where they would be stopping temporarily. "Snow Globe! A little planet coated in light blue snow!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanJane, the Doctor, and I all high fived each other. "Geronimo!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Well, assuming that everyone says that 'its larger on the inside' I am going to just go with thank you.
