So I have gotten some lovely responses to my latest update, which has inspired me to write some more! So I guess the lesson here is if you want more leave awesome comments/ favorite it if you haven't already..bah you don't want to hear this! Now on with the show..um I mean story!

The Doctor stepped back out of his Tardis and turned to the peanut gallery aka Myka, Artie and Pete. "Do you guys know why she ran off?"

"No."

"Sorry Doc, but no," Pete said with a grin. For some reason unbeknownst to the Doctor he seemed to like it better when Claudia said it.

"Don't say that again," the Doctor said in a clipped tone, immediately Pete sank down in his chair making Myka laugh. The Doctor suddenly felt bad, "fine, but not in public." Pete regained his air of excitement and the Doctor just shook his head.

There was a sound of wheels on the cement as Claudia returned. She was driving a motorized cart, and in the back was a rusted metal block. "We have had this sitting in the corner of the Goo-ery for ages," she said pulling up. "I'm glad we can put it to use, although I am afraid it's a bit rusted...and it's not made from galvanized steel, and I suppose we'll have to alter it to run on vegetable oil-"

She was interrupted as the air was squeezed from her by the Doctor giving her a huge hug. "Brilliant," he cried in joy. Together they cleaned it, often sending Pete to get the Rust-B-Gone and more Elbow Grease (something the Warehouse had stocked up on, but never used). Soon the rusty block took a form, the form of a dated generator.

"I guess it's been here as long as Artie," joked Claudia who then received a death glare.

"I think he is trying to kill you with his mind," the Doctor joked back. "There must be some kind of interference though."

"Yeah, try his eyebrows," she laughed.

The Doctor smiled, she really is a bright one.

They then both received death glares, which made them laugh harder.

"There," said the Doctor with a flourish after they had mounted the generator where it was supposed to go. "Thanks for your help, but I will be off-"

"Oh no Doc, not without me," Claudia said firmly.

He grouched, but perhaps it would be smart to have a mechanic? With my driving skills I may need one~ "Fine you can come."

"Thought you'd say that," she said with an excited grin.

"If Claudia is going than I want in too," Pete said coming in the Tardis for the first time. He then noticed his surroundings. "This place is...huge, huge, huge, huge," he said mimicking an echo effect. He then turned to the Doctor, "please let me come. Please please please please," he whined.

"No I don't bring families," the Doctor said.

"I'm not her family," he whined.

"This is not a phone plan, there is no family or friends package," the Doctor said like he was talking to a five year old, just more impatiently than he would be with a five year old.

"But, it's not fair," pouted Pete. "It's like you have a prejudice against male companions."

"I do, you don't scream correctly," the Doctor said moving to his consul.

"Huh?" Pete asked tipping his head to the side.

"Never mind," the Doctor sighed.

"Pete, I can go by myself. I'll be fine," Claudia assured him.

"That's not why I want to go I want to-"

"Holy Mother of God, this is...it's bigger on the inside!" exclaimed Artie, coming to see what the commotion was about.

"Did you really think all three of us would be in here if it was as small as it appeared from the outside?" Claudia asked raising an eyebrow.

Artie just blushed. Myka on the other hand looked around, "this kind of technology, isn't possible. There is no way that this is real, or could even-"

"Come on let me go, she's going," Pete said unfazed.

"Claudia!" Myka seemed shocked. "If Pete is going I am too."

"He's not," said the Doctor.

"Well if you guys are going I'm coming as well," Artie said.

"None of them are coming," shouted the Doctor to be heard over all the commotion.

"You said I could," Claudia said turning on him.

"I didn't know all of you were a package deal," said an irritated Doctor.

"We're not," said Claudia.

At the same time as Claudia Artie, Myka, and Pete said, "Well we are."

"Ugh," the Doctor said rumpling his hair. "FINE. You can all come."

"Really?" asked Pete excitedly.

"Really?" asked Artie nervously, he hadn't really wanted to go he just didn't want anyone else to.

"Really?" asked Myka nervously, she still didn't trust this Doctor.

"Yes REALLY," the Doctor really was tired of them all by know, well all but one.

"Good," said Claudia. And that was it.

"So where are we off to?" asked Pete. The Doctor felt like face palming, maybe he shouldn't have let them all come after all.

"Ancient Greece," he replied testily, turning a knob.

"Oh so we're going to visit an adolescent Artie?" asked Claudia slyly.

The Doctor smiled. "Don't touch that." he said without looking as he smacked Pete's hand away from a big green button.

Pete rubbed his hand and looked down at it with a hurt expression.

"So we're off to see the philosopher," smiled Claudia. She started to hum a familiar tune from the Wizard of Oz.

Artie was still glaring at her from her earlier joke, and Myka looked like a caged animal.

With a whirring they were off. Off to see the Philosopher.
