AN: Hehe I forgot to put this in the first chapter. But I don't own Doctor Who.
"I'm sorry." Kayla said a few hours later as the four sat in the living room. She was on the love seat against a wall and the three men were in her couch. "For crying all over you. I'm not usually this emotional but hard day ya know?"
"Oh that's just fine. I can't resist a woman in distress." Jack said to her with a charming smile on his face. 'Playboy.' Was Kayla's only thought. "Besides, it's not like seeing aliens for the first time is an everyday occurrence for someone in this time."
"Someone in this time? So along with being aliens, you're from the future too. Wonderful. That's just great. Look thanks for trying to help, but I just want to go to bed. I have to contact a cleaner in the morning and you have to take that thing back to its home. So goodbye." Kayla stood up and moved towards the front door.
"You were pretty handy with that fire extinguisher." The Doctor said off-handedly. Kayla shrugged in reply.
"Yes well your thingies didn't seem to make much of a difference. Plus its basic safety, fire extinguishers extinguish fires." She pointed at the metal tube now on the floor and then to the glass jar in the Doctor's hands that held the Fueg.
"They are not thingies!" The Doctor practically spat the word. "This is a sonic screwdriver."
"Standard or Phillips?" Was Kayla's immediate question to the odd looking device that the Doctor was proudly presenting.
"What?" Asked the Master who looked at an equally confused Doctor. Jack held back a chuckle.
"Is your sonic screwdriver a standard or phillips?" Kayla asked slowly.
"Neither. It's sonic as in works by sound. Opens anything really. Except wood, for some reason it doesn't work on wood." Jack explained.
"First of all that's pretty stupid. A screw driver that doesn't work with wood. Secondly why would you have used that as a weapon against me Doctor?" She asked referring to their encounter.
"Oh it does other things besides open stuff. Hmm Stuff. I like that word, stuff. It sounds fun; oh fun there is another word I like. Fun is fun."
"Is he high?" Kayla asked the Master. The Master shook his head at the Doctor's rambling.
"Unfortunately no. This is what I deal with 24/7; he and Jack are just about the most annoying people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting." The Master drawled.
"I can imagine." Kayla said as she looked at the two.
"Do you want to come with us?" The Master asked her.
"Come with you where?" Kayla asked warily.
"Hey my TARDIS. You can't just invite random people onboard." The Doctor interrupted.
"Shhh. The adults are talking." Kayla said while putting a finger over his lips. She and the Master were now facing each other and the Doctor and Jack were to the side.
"I'll have you know I am over nine hundred years old." The Doctor huffed.
"And still such a child." Kayla intoned toward the timelord. She shook her head and looked back at the Master as though to say 'you too'.
"One trip." Jack said trying to defuse the serious atmosphere. Three heads snapped to him. The Doctor nodded.
"That's fair. One round trip and then its back here." He said cheerfully. He and Jack started pushing Kayla towards the front door that the Master had opened.
"Whoa, whoa, who says I want to go on a trip with yall. I don't know you. Yes I believe the alien thing, my kitchen is a testament to that. But I don't know you. Hell you guys could be murders, evil, psychotic even. Who in their right mind would travel with people they have only know for two hours and claim to be alie- oh to hell with it I know I'm going to agree." Kayla threw her arms up in exasperation and marched out of her house.

It took less than three minutes to reach the blue police box that had been parked in the alley way for the better part of six hours. Needless to say the TARDIS was not amused. She definitely didn't appreciate her thief bringing back one of those horrible Fuegs. She had a cousin who had a run in with one of them. Had being the keyword here.
She could forgive him though. He was finally bringing a new companion on board. With the almost doctor Jones gone her thief had been not so sane. Then again when was he ever sane? It would be insane to insinuate that he was sane. Such is the life of a timelord. They always were an uppity lot, never wanting to admit their faults. Even her thief didn't like admitting his faults. Especially not with the other timelord aboard. Both wanted to one up the other and it was tiring. Oh but this new companion would be fun. She would point out their faults, make them confront them. The TARDIS knew this. That was why she had brought her passengers here.
The TARDIS always took her thief where he needed to be, whether he knew it or not.
-DW-
The group stopped outside of the blue box that said police on it and Kayla just stared. This was the space and time ship? How had no one noticed this bright blue thing just sitting here?
The Doctor and the Master looked at her expectantly. She just lifted an eyebrow at them. Jack giggled and opened a door. He made a sweeping gesture with his arm and she sighed. Kayla took her first step into a time machine and looked around.
Oh.
Oh!
OH!
Just like the tents in Harry Potter! Holy shit! Kayla stood on the metal walk way and moved toward the consol. A huge column of flashing light, buttons, levers, and things that just screamed 'DO NOT TOUCH' in her mind. Fuck yes. A soft light emitted from the walls and Kayla felt a hum in her mind. So cool!
A huge smile made its way across her face and she gave a soft laugh. Kayla looked back and the door was still open. 'Why haven't they come in yet? Are they expecting me to run back out proclaiming "It's bigger on the inside than on the outside!"?'
She walked to the door and looked at the three faces eagerly watching her. They really had been waiting for her to come running out. P-uh-lease. Kayla had dreamed of finding something as amazing as this all her life. No way was she running away from it, or stopping to wrap her mind around something that should be physically impossible.
"Well? Are you coming or not?" She asked with a smirk of her own. Two smile and a smirk answered her. The door closed and a whooshing sound filled the air as the blue box disappeared.

AN: Okay this feels really good to be done with. It took be so long because I wrote so many different versions of Kayla's reaction to being invited to take a trip. I hope you all enjoy this. If you have any comments, ideas, reactions, criticisms feel free to review or send me a pm. The next chapter will have some real action in it.
