"Anywhere in the universe, Darren. Any time, any place, you name it the TARDIS can take you there. So where do you want to go?"
"Can I drive?"
"No Phil you can't drive," The Doctor waved Phil away from the console and turned back to the still confused teenager. "Don't say the moon. It's boring, there's nothing there."
"Where did Phil choose?"
"Sto."
"Actually, Doctor, I choose a place with snow."
"Ah yes! That's right! Thank you very much for correcting me," The Doctor smiled and tapped her on the nose, and yet again shooed her away from the TARDIS controls. Where the sudden fascination of wanting to clock in the coordinates came from he didn't know.
"Why somewhere with snow?"
Phil just gave him a look and didn't answer him, Darren gave a slow nod and seemed to understand what she meant. The Doctor stood rocking on his heels slightly with his hands in his pockets. "To the future." Darren said slowly, The Doctor smiled lightly and wriggled his fingers at the console. Phil leant back and gripped onto the nearest railing. "Somewhere with...computers and...you get the idea."
"I get the general idea. You're aiming to visit the typical; world of the future. There is a planet in fact that is like that, which isn't Earth."
"Is it Earth's twin?" Phil asked while walking around the console and stopping near her cousin. She quickly told him to hang on to something.
"Nopes! There's to many planets out there which are just like Earth. The way Earth is it has many, and I mean, many twins."
"Extended Earth family."
"You give it such a good nickname Phil! Well done to you, so yes, young Darren. You wish to go to the typical world of tomorrow? That's fine by me but there are two things I have to clear up with you before we go."
"Alright."
The Doctor grinned, "You're so much like Phil! You listen. I need to get used to this all over again." He scratched his head lightly and then nodded. "Don't wander off. I mean it, you wander off on an alien planet what is the likelihood of us finding you? Close to zero that's the answer you're looking for! Not only that, you're human, you're slow and stupid, you'll cause trouble."
"Hey!" Darren exclaimed obviously not taking to kindly to being called, slow or stupid.
"This just brings me to my second point." The Doctor rubbed his hands together, completely ignoring Darren's outburst. "Don't stare."
"Don't stare?"
"See that is why I said slow and stupid. You're human, you're curious, one thing you lot are great at is staring at the unusual. You stare to long and you can obviously offend someone." He paused. "And I really am not up for pulling you out of a fight."
"You wouldn't pull him out of a fight." Phil said quietly, not quiet enough because she received a hurt look from The Doctor. "Oh come on! You don't like fighting! You wouldn't pull him out of a fight."
"True," he gave a shrug. "You got into the fight you can get yourself out."
"You do realize you two are talking about a metaphorical fight? It hasn't happened! And it's not going to!"
"Alright alright, blimey Darren keep your hair on." The Doctor looked at the teenager and sighed. Phil reached behind her and quickly tied her hair up, giving a thumbs up she clutched onto the railing.
"Sernustlia, it's mainly an academical planet. So that's right up your street, there's plenty of computers. There's plenty of everything really. There's a really big library here, but I've had bad experiences with libraries so I'll stay away from that. Not saying you two can't venture!"
"But you just told me I couldn't wander."
"Well you'll be with Phil, I trust her enough to keep you under tabs and not let you do anything stupid." The Doctor said, Darren just looked at him dumbly. He thought what he said was a rather obvious answer, he also thought it was a rather good answer.
"I'm allowed to wander too?"
"You don't let her walk around on her own? What the hell are you, her personal guard or somethin'?" Darren seemed generally really shocked and confused. "You wouldn't be much of a guard though. If I remember rightly, Phil did say you don't like fighting."
"Why is your cousin just like you but more...sarcastic?"
"Runs in the family possibly." Phil mused and looked around. This planet seemed just like Earth, but then again Sto seemed a lot like Earth. Even Planet Vega seemed like Earth. There were many people, and alien figures, walking around busying themselves.
"Why does no one notice us?"
"What do you mean?"
"We're standing in front of a blue box, which has just appeared." The Doctor looked at Darren who was still looking around at the tall buildings. He was also slyly glancing at anyone who didn't look remotely human.
"Chameleon circuit." The Doctor said simply, as if Darren would automatically know what one of those were. Oddly enough though the teenager just gave a nod and didn't ask what it was. "Not only that, we're on an alien planet. Think about it Darren." The Doctor rolled his eyes and strolled off quickly, not before locking the TARDIS's doors. Phil trotted after him and hit him on the arm, not hard at all, "What was that for?"
"Stop being snappy at him!"
"Phil, your cousin is a nerd for the conspiracy and other wordly things. He doesn't need me to state out the obvious points of things."
"Erm hello! Doctor, unlike me, he has only see things like this on a computer screen. I've been seeing things like this since I was eleven. You have to explain some things to him because he just doesn't know."
The Doctor turned on his heels and looked at Darren, "We're on an alien planet Darren. So people won't really stop and stare at a spaceship appearing in the middle of the street. A lot more stranger things are walking around here. A lot more stranger things happen to appear, yes before you say it, more stranger things than the TARDIS. Also a chameleon circuit, in simple terms, the TARDIS will copy something anything from the time and place that she lands in and copy its appearance to fit in." The Doctor heaved a breath and looked at Phil, she gave him a happy thankful smile before looking at her cousin.
Darren thought over this information and then looked up at him. "But police boxes aren't around anymore."
"This is what I get for explaining things!" The Doctor exclaimed a little desperately and waved his arms in the air. Phil despaired slightly too, she was half hoping that, much like her, Darren would say something regarding something that The Doctor had said.
