Chapter 4
Emma eyed the blue box in front of her, trying to think she just missed it when she walked into the room, "What is it?"
"A TARDIS stands for Time and relative dimensions in space. You might recognize it as a time machine." The Doctor walked over beside her. "Would you like to go inside?"
"How big is it?" Emma eyed the doctor suspiciously, "It looks tiny."
"It is a lot bigger then it seems." The Doctor smiled widely, "Some say it is bigger on the inside." Emma smiled and pushed herself out of the Electroshock chair. The hero coat flowed out behind her.
The Doctor pushed the door to the TARDIS and ushered Emma in.
"It's," Emma stuttered, "It's-it's," Emma walked slowly to the console, "So, just," Emma spun on her heels towards the doctor, "Are you a wizard?"
"What? NO!" The Doctor looked at her eyes, "Will I ever get my coat back."
"Are you cold, Wizard?" Emma stepped forward and pressed the tips of his shoes to hers.
"I'm not- I'm not a" The doctor looked into her blue eyes and found a loss for words. Emma examined him trying to think of what he was so bothered by. She took a step back.
"So, if you are not a wizard, what are you?" Emma spun back to look back at the console.
"Time lord." He regained his voice.
"Oh that is pompous." Emma giggled, "Well," Emma contradicted, "you could have named you're selves the time gods."
"Myself."
"What?" Emma grazed the console with her fingertips.
"I'm the last of the time lords, Madam Petrova." The Doctor stood at the door while Emma explored the TARDIS.
"Just as alone as I am." Emma touched the edge of the monitor.
"You're not alone Emma," The doctor ran up behind her, "You're bloody brilliant." He tucked her hair behind her ear making Emma blush.
"Do you always do that?" Emma questioned.
"What?" The doctor quickly withdrew his hand.
"Charm people." Emma's blush grew deeper, "I mean, like Dr. Agnes." The Doctor smiled.
"Only when I have to." The Doctor winked, "I have a time machine, it's all the charm I need."
"Is it really a time machine?" Emma asked incredulously.
"Would I lie to you?" The doctor turned to the console and started to frantically push buttons.
"What are you doing?" Emma watched him move methodically over each part.
"I am going to prove to you, Madam Petrova, that I am exactly what I say I am." The Doctor raised an eyebrow, "Allons-y!" The TARDIS shook and knocked Emma into the railing behind The Doctor. Emma let out a small scream. The Doctor reached for her arm and held her close by his side while he messed with the console some more. "Hold on tight Madam Petrova." Emma gripped the front of his navy blue overcoat and buried her head in his shoulder.
After a few minutes of the Doctor flying the TARDIS it came to a stop and Emma slowly looked up from the Doctor's shoulder. "It is safe now." Emma took her head fully off of the Doctor's body, to come face to face with the Doctor, "Well, Shall we."
Emma released her grip on the Doctor and allowed him to move about. The Doctor grabbed an umbrella out from underneath the console.
"It gets rainy in St. Petersburg." The Doctor expanded the umbrella and put it over Emma's head. They walked to the door and advanced into the world outside.
"We are in a swamp." Emma stepped onto the watery ground.
"Well, the city hasn't been built yet." Emma groaned.
"You bring me to a city before it has been built."
There were numerous trees with moss coated on their bark. The ground was coated in an inch of water. Locus's sounded loudly in the evening sun.
"How long before the Russians advance?" Emma questioned.
"Not long Emma." The Doctor smiled at Emma, "We can't stay Emma, Guinevere needs you."
Emma frowned, "She said she was attacked by a man." Rain started to downpour, "But I was there, no one could have done it."
"There are much more than meets the eye in this world and any other." The Doctor looked down on her. "Don't let things take advantage of your naivety."
"You think I am naïve?" Emma frowned.
"Most human are." The Doctor looked straight ahead, still standing in front of the TARDIS.
