One of the possible explanations for her was that Theta is a human, given that since he arrived at the school his wings, tail or horns were never visible. Sure, there were some cases in which demons didn't have any tails or horns but it was extremely rare.
Ameri's "human theory" would have been considered silly by many Demons, because they consider humans as mere mythological creatures. Only High ranks Demons knows about the existence of Humans. In fact, the Azazel Household had been in charge of conserve an high amount of material from the Human realm. Those materials are….Shoujo mangas. Specifically, a shoujo manga series name "First Love Memories". Ameri likes to read them in private (much with her denial). However, the manga is in Japanese (a language Demons can't read) but, by looking at the images, she enjoyed it and found them very heart-throbbing as she passed the day in her Student Council Office without getting noticed.
Meanwhile, the day at Babyls ended and Theta decided to remain for a while to help Shichiro with some things.
Before finishing and leaving the school with his adoptive father, He went to the classroom to find a thing he forgot.
At the same time, Ameri left her office, now going home after reading some of the "forbidden books"
But then, they accidentally bumped into each other in the hallway.
"Ow…My head…" Theta whined. Then he noticed that he bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry! Are you okay?" He said, as he lent a hand to Ameri.
Ameri noticed and blushed, comparing what was happening to a scene she saw in the "forbidden books". She stood up quickly. "You! Tell me your name!" She ordered.
"Huh…It's Theta, Theta Sigma."
"!" Ameri recognised the young Time Lord. "That's…Him?! This guy is Theta Sigma?!...I g-get it now! He summoned a Demon, his rank is unmeasureable, he created a mysterious tree…And now, he's using some bizarre abilities to make me fall in love with him! I knew it…" Ameri grabbed Theta's face. "This guy is dangerous!"
"Huh…" Theta was visibly confused.
Ameri calmed down a little. "Okay, I need to calm down…What I need to do is contact my father, restrain this possible human, and he'll get transported to an appropriate institution. I'm the Student Council President, therefore…I shall pick out the weeds that disturb the school order and burn them without mercy!" she thought.
"I do beg your pardon but-" Theta tried to speak, as he also tried to free himself but Ameri immediately grabbed his wrists.
"It must be trying to use an innate ability on me! As I thought, he's dangerous!" She thought
"What in tarnation is going on?! Is she angry, perhaps?!" Theta thought, slightly panicking.
He tried to move, until the shoujo manga fell off Ameri's uniform.
"Damnit! T-That's…"
"Oh, a human comic book!" Theta picked it up and started reading it a bit. " "First Love Memories", a romantic one, huh? I used to read these comic books back on Gallifrey with Koschei, Ushas and Mortimus! Well, Koschei didn't care that much, Ushas liked them but refused to acknowledge it and Mortimus liked them too but…" Theta continued rambling a bit.
"...First Love Memories? Gallifrey? I don't know what he's talking about but…He reacted to the Forbidden Book! As I thought, you are-"
"Oh, this confession scene under this tree is lovely! If I recall correctly, that's a Sakura tree. Oh, and…"
Ameri was shocked. "You…Can read that book?"
"Of course! I tried to learn some human languages at the Academy, I'm quite good at English and Japanese. But I do wonder why is a comic book here? This is the Netherworld, after a-Wait a minute." The young Time Lord realised that perhaps he talked too much. He tried to find a reasonable excuse for his knowledge but Ameri's reaction of intrigue shattered his worries.
"You can read it, right?!" Ameri asked.
"As I said, yes." Theta said.
The ginger girl pointed at a bubble text. "What does it say?"
"I'm Kakeru Aosora, a transfer student." Theta translated it. After he translated more dialogue for Ameri, she grabbed him by the collar.
"I'm bringing you with me." she said.
"Y-Y-Yes, ma'am…" Theta started to fear for his life.
…Only for his worry to immediately disappear. They were now alone in the Student Council room. He had the manga opened towards Ameri's direction, as she was sitting on her chair.
"...Please, read it to me." She asked, embarrassed.
"...Well, Can't say I was expecting this but…Sure." Theta started reading.
During that, Ameri was listening to him with child-like curiosity, which the Young Time Lord noticed and found very adorable.
Time passed, enough that outside it pitched black.
"Huh?! It's pitch black outside! Dad is waiting for me, I forgot that!" Theta said, as he looked at his phone.
Ameri took his phone and put her number in the contacts list. "I-I registered my number in your contacts. If I ever call you, pick up immediately." She said.
"Oh-"
"Don't tell anyone where you're going and come alone! Got it?!"
"S-Sure. W-Well, see you soon…?"
"...Ameri."
"Oh, lovely to meet you, Ameri." He smiled, as he left.
"...That guy…Can read human language. However, I don't think he's a Human…I need to take appropriate measures and investigate." Ameri thought, as she looked at the shoujo manga. "...Well, Perhaps it can wait until we finish reading First Love Memories."
The next few days, Theta continued having these "lectures" with Ameri, he find out that Demons don't know the concept of a "date" (Well, neither Time Lords do dates, but they know what they are). It was hard to not get noticed why suspiciously avoid his classmates, especially Alice and Clara, but he managed to dismiss their worries with a vague "I'm meeting with an acquaintance of mine, no need to worry."
He waited near the door of the Student Council room for a meeting with Ameri for their "reading session". Theta noticed Ameri arriving in a hurry.
"Oh, there you are." Theta said.
"Did I make you…Wait?" She asked, panting.
"Not at all, I just got here. Let's start, shall we?"
"Y-Yeah…"
The two entered in the room and started their reading session.
"Alright, let's begin from Volume 5." Theta said.
As he read to Ameri, the girl took notes for important information, until a dialogue from the shoujo manga came up:
"It's my dream to be a wonderful bride!"
" "Dream"? Oh, does she mean Ambition?" Ameri asked.
"Well, yes." Theta said. "Now that you made me think of it, do you have any dreams, Ameri?"
Ameri thought about it for a moment "Well, I…Feel proud that I am a Demon, and I feel that more people should be feeling proud of being Demons. However…I want to improve the quality of the students' lives and make this school a better place. That's my Ambition! When I graduate, I plan to help my father with his work. I'm determined to do that."
Theta was very impressed. "That sounds…Magnificent!"
"What about you?" Ameri asked. "What's your Ambition?"
Theta thought about it and blushed a bit. "Well, it's a bit embarrassing but…I always wanted to explore the universe. I felt like an outcast back on the place I come from, so I left. I wanted to find new cultures, have fun and maybe find a place I can call home. And…"
"And?" Ameri was intrigued.
"I want to help people. I want to help and save them during my travels, as if I were…As if I were a Doctor!" Theta said.
"That sounds like a great Ambition, Theta. I really hope you can make it true." Ameri smiled.
Inside Theta's mind a brilliant idea appeared. "Thanks for making me sharing it with you, Ameri. I think I know what I have to do. I have to go now, see you soon!" he left.
In that moment, Ameri thought of Theta.
"I don't know why but...Now that I know Theta a bit more, I felt like...I met him before. But where...?"
Later, Theta sent to Alice and Clara a text.
"Meet me on the roof of the school." It said.
While waiting, Theta decided to prepare everything for his plan in the TARDIS.
"I wonder if I could change my clothes here…" he thought, while going downstairs. After a walk, he found a room full of clothes of different types, both for men and women. "You got a wardrobe! Splendid!" he spoke to the TARDIS.
The young Time Lord entered the wardrobe room and began searching for clothes to wear for his first adventure.
He ended up with a double breasted town coat of black velvet with a shawl collar, a beige tweed waistcoat over a white shirt with a blue ribbon tie, grey trousers, and shiny elasticated boots.
"I hope they like it." Theta said.
When he left the TARDIS, He saw Alice and Clara, who finally arrived.
"Thety!" Clara hugged him.
"We saw your message, Great Theta. What's the matter?" Alice asked.
"Well, there is something I wanted to show you, it's very personal to me. First of all, I decided to change my outfit. How do I look?"
"You look like Azz-Azz!" Clara said.
"No, he doesn't! But still…You look wonderful as usual, Great Theta!" Alice said.
"Thank you, now, follow me!" Theta said, as he entered the TARDIS.
The two entered too.
"Great Theta, what's in the…"
Theta snapped his fingers and lights turned on.
The console room was bigger and looked like comfy and more of a Victorian parlour rather than space.
"It's called TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It can travel across Time and Space. And it's mine." Theta said, proudly.
"Wow…Oh! Oh! It's bigger on the inside! It's bigger on the inside!" Clara said, more energetic than usual as Alice was in complete awe.
"So, how about we go on a ride together with my ship, hmm? It'll be quick." Theta proposed.
Alice and Clara looked at eachother, then nodded at Theta.
"It would be an honour, Great Theta." Alice said.
"Let's do it! Let's do it!" Clara said.
"Very well! Let's go!" Theta pulled down the lever of the console and the TARDIS disappeared.
Little did he know that this adventure will be his Baptism of Fire, where he'll face the foes that will become a thorn to his side…The Daleks.
