The Doctor grinned at the mere question. "That's the beauty of it! We can go anywhere!"
Ami's face showed both the skepticality and curiosity she was feeling. "Anywhere? But... that's-"
"Impossible, I know! Isn't it brilliant?" The time traveller let go of Ami's hand and began running around the TARDIS console, his face similar to that of a child on Christmas morning. "Think of somewhere; anywhere you've ever been remotely interested in! If she's in a good mood, the old girl might actually take us there!" He patted the device.
Ami opened her mouth to question that entire sentence, but she closed it and shrugged, a small smile coming to her face. She thought for a long while, her many hours of studying suddenly flooding back to her mind, her eyes sparkling as she remembered each one. "Oh... there's just so many... I couldn't choose.."
The Doctor shrugged. "Fair enough. How would you like to see the moon?"
The schoolgirl let out a squeal of delight. "You can- it can- are you /serious/? The moon?" Her smile was so bright it could light up a dark room for days. "Do I really get to?"
The Doctor was relieved to see Ami's smile, and he nodded. He ran around the TARDIS, pulling levers and pushing buttons as fast as lightning. The box, now making a whirring noise, began to rumble as they took off. "You might want to hold on to something!" he shouted. A signature grin planted itself on his face at the machine lurched forward.
Ami obeyed and grabbed onto the railing of the console. Throughout the bumps, crashes, and general turbulence of the ride, her smile faded and was replaced with a look of slight fear. That look soon faded and replaced itself with a grin of great excitement.
Her facial expressions were as bumpy as the ride itself, though, through assumption, Ami thought that this was quite normal.
It wasn't too much later that the 'old girl' gave a final lurch and stopped. Ami let go of the railing and stumbled backwards, managing to catch herself rather than falling for what felt like the hundredth time that day.
The Doctor walked over to her, completely unphased by the ride, and smiled. "Wasn't that fun?" he asked.
Ami had the kind of smile on her face that said, 'If I wanted to, I would slap you so hard.' It was lucky for the Gallifreyan that the 'If I wanted to' was present. She rolled her eyes and laughed at the question.
"Right, I'll be taking that as a yes," the Doctor said, still grinning. "Now, shall we?" He offered his hand to her.
Ami giggled as she nodded, putting her hand in his firm grip.
The Time Lord led her to the door. "The moon awaits. I must warn you, though, it's not quite as fun since all of that Silver Millennium stuff ended. I know, I was there." He grinned at the sight of a rather confused look plastered onto the Sailor Scout's face. Without another word, The Doctor opened the door and the both of them stepped outside.
It wasn't long at all before the Doctor began to frown. "Oh, no... this isn't right at all..."
They were both staring at a battle between the Sailor Scouts (Ami not included) and a rather large plant. And it didn't look like they were winning.
