Chapter Seven: Travelling (Doctor`s Point of View)
"Just hold on, but don`t forget to enjoy yourself, alright?" I said to her. She smiled and nodded.
I ran over to the controls and typed coordinates inside of the database, making sure the TARDIS knew where to go, and then did whatever I needed to so she would take flight.
Once the TARDIS took off, Ditzy started to laugh. "If this is a dream, I don`t wanna wake up!" When we landed she looked outside and was completely astonished. "Where are we?" She asked.
"Outer space, looking over Earth," I smiled.
"You mean THE outer space, as in where the stars and sun live?"
"Of course, why would I lie?"
She shook her head and embraced me tightly again.
"You`re that happy, huh," I asked, making her laugh.
"I`ve never been this excited, like ever," She said.
"Well, have you ever traveled to outer space before?" I reminded her.
She walked back over to the open doors and sighed. "This is so beautiful..."
I almost slipped up, but I stopped myself from saying "Just like you". And it took me all of my power to.
"Where do you want to go next?" I asked, joining her at the door.
"I-I-I don`t know," She smiled. "My mind is being blown right now... I just cannot believe this."
"Believe it, Ditzy. We can travel anywhere in time and space, onto any planet to see anybody. The TARDIS is under our control, and we can do ANYTHING with her."
"Wait, the TARDIS is a girl?" She laughed.
"Yes, yes she is," I replied. We sat like that for the remainder of the next three minutes, just admiring the view. "You know, I know you overheard I and Dinky`s conversation."
She simply looked down. "Sorry... I went to say something but you weren`t there, so I walked upstairs. Then I heard you talking about me, so I just decided to listen. Sorry if I kind of ruined a surprise," She laughed nervously.
"Nah, you would have found out anyway. But what were you going to say to me?" I asked suspiciously.
A few awkward moments passed by. "Where should we go next?" She asked.
"Way to dodge a bullet," I elbowed her slightly. "Want to go to... Oh, how about this – TARDIS? Can you pick somewhere?"
The engines wheezed and the doors shut automatically. I watched as she chose her spot on the monitor, holding on tightly, when out of the corner of my eye I saw Ditzy fall into the hallway where the swimming pool was located. A slight splash was heard and a scream.
"Wanted to take a dip, huh?" I laughed.
"Not funny," She frowned, stepping out as a human. "But why doesn`t the water splash everywhere if we are moving, it`s completely still? (She looked at her fingers) And what am I now?"
"Magic," I emphasized the word with a smile.
She started to shiver so I wrapped her in a nearby towel and put my arm around her automatically. A blush spread out across her cheeks and she tried not to look at me as we made our way back to the control room.
Once she was dried off we looked at the monitors and she studied herself in the reflection – a young woman with golden hair and crossed eyes, a grey V-neck dress that goes down to her mid-thigh, accompanied by a pair of black heels. I explained to her what a human was and she seemed confused.
She then read the monitors. "Doctor, what is Arkhaten?" She asked.
"Oh, I absolutely love that place!" I laughed, jumping up and down and clapping my hands.
"You get over excited way too easily," Ditzy giggled.
"Sorry," I cleared my throat. "Uh, anyways, Arkhaten, very beautiful place, you`ll love it too. Allons-Y!" I called out, holding her hand and pulling her out of the door.
