Arya followed the Doctor, and noticed he grabbed something shiny on his way to the doorway.

Arya's thoughts traveled everywhere as she walked behind him, the Doctor himself. From his outfit, and especially hair, he is about to go have a picnic with Elizabeth and a Zygon, or he just came back from saving Gallifrey, one of the two. I sure hope it's the former, I want to meet 8.5 and 11...

She walked right behind him, and noticed that the TARDIS really did move her rooms around. They went about five feet, and a huge, majestic set of doors was in front of them. I'm guessing those are the doors to the library. she thought excitedly.

She watched the Doctor push the doors open, and she knew what being 'exceedingly astonished' felt like. There were huge bookshelves, including rolling ladders, that extended as far as the eye could see. She could see handwritten signs everywhere- Most likely for the companions. There were signs for genres overall (adventure, romance, educational,...), and the more narrow topics (authors, series title). She looked up, and saw that there were multiple floors as well.

The Doctor was headed straight ahead, where a couple of chairs, a desk with a lamp, and several piles of books were. She saw him sit down, and realized she had stopped moving, so she ran over to him, sitting in a chair across from him.

He was watching her, and she thought it meant to start, so she did. "So... Questions?"

"How did you end up in those woods?" the Doctor asked.

"That requires some backstory," Arya said, "You may want to get comfortable."

The Doctor just leaned back in his chair. She continued, "I really truly do not know how I got here. I was in Temple Square with my family, walking around. My cousins were visiting, we don't see them often. Anyway, we were outside the Visitor's Center, and suddenly I was here, in the middle of the woods."

"You didn't hear or see anything?"

"Nope. There one second, here the next." There was a pause, and Arya decided to break it. "This may or may not sound strange, but where I'm from, you and your story are a TV show." The Doctor leaned forward at that. "That's how I know who you are, and all you do. Hopefully that clears some things up."

"Ah. That it does." The Doctor said.

"Any idea of how I can get home?" Arya asked.

"Other than the TARDIS, no idea. If you've seen my life, you know about multiverses..."

"Yup."

"And how it's very hard to get from one to another. My TARDIS was drained the first time I did that, and that was an accident, as you know."

"So you're stuck with me for a while."

"Or I could drop you off with a couple of my friends."

"NOT Jack. I refuse to be dropped off with Jack."

"Yes, he is one possibility."

"Can't I just stay here on the TARDIS, not touching anything important, while you go on your little adventures?"

"Possibly. You know what not to touch?"

"Console for sure. Never know what could happen if you mess around with it."

"True." She saw him laugh a little at that.

"May I? May I stay on the TARDIS?"

"We'll see. Give me some time. The TARDIS will make a room for you in the meantime."

"Grazie. To her and you."

"Do you need any help?"

"I think I've got it, thanks though." Arya stood up. "It really is great to meet you. Never give up hope though, ever." she said, looking him straight in the eyes.

Arya headed towards the doorway, and pulled them open when she got there. She asked telepathically, Would you please show me my room? She had no idea if it would actually work, but hoped. Arya thought she heard something behind her, and she turned around. There, in front of her, was a TARDIS blue door with her name in Orbonian, one of her favorite fictional languages. Thank you. she thought, hoping it got through.

She reached for and turned the handle, and walked through the door. The walls were covered in paintings of stars and galaxies. There was a bed with a light blue quilt on it, a nightstand and a lamp. She saw another door, and walked over to it. She opened it and saw a shower and a walk-in closet across from the shower. She walked back out, and saw a book on her bed. She picked it up, and was amazed to see the copy of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." It was the same book she was reading back at home, including the bookmark. On the nightstand was also her Youth Conference copy of "The Book of Mormon," with all of her notes and quotes.

Thank you so much Idris! Thank you, thank you , thank you! she thought. She had wondered how she was going to keep up with her reading. She set her books down, and walked out of her room.

She suddenly felt hungry, and asked politely, Kitchen please? Another door showed up. Thanks. She turned the handle and walked inside.

She saw an average looking kitchen, and looked through the cupboards to find something to eat. She found bowtie pasta in a cupboard above her head. She took it out, and put it on a counter. She saw a pan appear on the stove, and she filled it with water. As she set it to boil, she found the bananas. As soon as she pulled one off the bunch, she saw the water was boiling. "That was fast." she said to no one, as she put the lone banana on the table. She went over and picked up the box of noodles, and poured them in the pan.

A few minutes later, her noodles were done. They were in a bowl, made the way she always did, butter on them, not too much, but not too little. She put the banana in her jacket pocket and picked up the bowl of noodles and a fork. She went through the door, asking for the console room. Before she was through the doorway, she started to eat her noodles, just in case the Doctor was midflight.

Out in the hallway, still eating, she saw the entrance to the console room, and carefully made her way to it. She walked in, and saw the Doctor preparing to start up the TARDIS. At that moment, she decided to sit down and lean against the wall, just inside the room.

AN: If you catch the 'exceedingly astonished' reference, kudos to you. I am LDS (a Mormon), so if I offend you with religious material inside my story, I am sorry. (The rules said nothing about religious material...)

Orbonian is from the "WondLa" series ("The Search For WondLa" and "A Hero For Wondla" [I suggest them to people who like/love SciFi]).

Translations: Grazie = Thanks (Italian). I like different languages, OK?
