Sailor Gallifrey Chapter 2
Ami was absolutely blown away by the TARDIS. She had never seen anything like it. It seemed almost... magic. Her eyes widened. Things started connecting in her brain. This "Doctor" person could be a serious threat. He knew her identity, for one thing, and the Scouts' powers were obviously no match for even a fraction of this technology. Maybe he was from the Negaverse.
Of course, not a bone in Ami's body wanted to believe that. She'd seen and encountered all kinds of evil before, and The Doctor certainly wasn't the evil type. But there had been that one time Queen Beryl had captured and brainwashed Usagi's boyfriend Mamoru, maybe it was something like that. There were quite a few ways The Doctor could be evil without actually being evil, so it got Ami thinking. It also got her to be very cautious. It was obvious that, with her deduction that The Doctor was evil, she'd grown a bit timid.
Before long her mind was clouded by worry. She had read somewhere that back in the 1950's in England they used police boxes, designed much like the TARDIS, to hold prisoners. Those boxes hadn't been larger on the inside, but it was still probable that the entire reason Ami had been invited inside was to be captured. She could be held for ransom in exchange for the imperium silver crystal, or she could get brainwashed as Mamoru had been. That troubled her worst of all. The thought of hurting her friends... she hated it. She feared it, even. Such a thought, once it had slithered into the girl's mind, wouldn't simply go away. It began torturing her head far worse than the thoughts of The Doctor being evil, to the point she couldn't even think about that anymore. She couldn't think about anything anymore. She couldn't remember how to stand.
"Yes, so these are the main controls, and this is- whoa there!" The Doctor cut himself off as Ami collapsed. "You alright?" He pulled the girl to her feet, catching her as she nearly collapsed again.
That was when Ami came back to her senses. She looked up at The Doctor, a sense of gratitude in her eyes. "I... I..." she bit her lip. "Yeah, I'm fine." Obviously, she couldn't tell him, a complete stranger, what had happened. And if he was from the Negaverse, he would probably have to kill her if she knew he knew. So she decided she wouldn't tell him.
The Doctor frowned. When it came to "I'm fine", he could recognize a lie. And that most definitely was one. But there was probably some sort of logical explanation as to why Ami didn't want him to know, so he had no plans on asking.
Ami managed to get control of her legs again. She dusted herself off. "S-so, what were you saying about those controls?" she asked, breaking the silence. She turned and looked at them again, making an effort to focus on the outstanding technology rather than any of her... other thoughts.
The Doctor nodded to himself before going to continue his little explanation. "Right, yes. See, this right here is what gets her to travel in time-"
Ami's eyes widened. "H-hold on a minute!" she started, staring up at The Doctor. "W-what did you say?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier? I normally don't forget to mention that..." the Time Lord frowned, wondering how he could possibly have forgotten.
"W-well you did this time!" Ami exclaimed. She felt like she might collapse again. "Wh-who are you? Wh-what are you?" He certainly wasn't human, Ami knew that much.
"I already told you, I'm The Doctor," The Doctor answered, offering that signature grin of his.
