Because of the slightly sad last chapter, I decided to make this one more light hearted. Feel free to review.

Chapter 5
As I slowly woke up, I felt a warm thing around my shoulders. I look at my clock. It says 5:00 pm. Good, I have only been asleep for about three hours. Then, I realized that the warm thing was a blanket, and I had defiantly had not covered myself with a blanket before I went to sleep. Then I remembered what had happened last night, right before I went to sleep. Then, the worst thing possible popped into my head. I had left the key in the door. If SHEILD had unlocked the door and come in here, I don't know what I'd do.
I was just about to make it out the door, a girl, about my age, walked into the door with a tray with a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee and hair the color of yellow and purple. When she looked at m and smiled, I noticed her eyes were the same color. The longer she smiled at me, the more her hair turned from yellow- purpleish to dark purple, along with her eyes.
Just like my TARDIS.
Just like my… OH GOD.
I grabbed one of my bed posts to help steady myself.
"You're, you're the TARDIS."* I said my eyes wide. She just put down her tray. "You're the TARDIS. Wow! I was certainly not expecting that." I laughed. She laughed back with me.
"Wow, you certainly are full of surprises." I say again out of shock. "You have a name right? I mean I have always called you TARDIS, but do you have a proper name?" "Yes, I do believe I have a proper name. You can call me Nevra, or Neva for short." I just look at her with a look that hopefully says, seriously?
"You know, those people, I do believe you call them shields, how can a person, a human being be a shield… well any way, those people outside, on the plane have been knocking on my front door for quite a while now. It is getting quite annoying now. That was one of the reasons I kept on messing up with the soup. Also, the fact that I have never made soup was a contributing factor." I just looked at her. Then, I realized what she had said about the soup and I ran into the kitchen. Which happened to be an absolute mess. I turned around to do something to Nevra's face, but she was looking kinda scared. "What?" I asked her. "What is wrong?"
"Oh, nothing… Ijustthoughtthetoasterwouldhavecaughtonfirebynow." She said very rushed and mumbled. "What did you say?" the only part of that sentence that I had caught was toaster and fire and that was enough to worry me. "I said, I just thought the toaster would have caught on fire by now." She said, very embarrassed and hesitantly. I just had hardly enough time to process what she had said before the toaster caught on fire, then exploded. We both made eye contact for a split sentence, in which, I swear we were thinking the same exact thing, then we both bee lined it towards the front door. Pushing it open, I began coughing around the same time as Nevra did. We both came falling out of my van choking on smoke and almost laughing because neither one of us had expected that to happen. Well, maybe Neva did a bit.
The looks on every ones faces as we came tumbling out of my van were so priceless, that we both started laughing again.
After we had calmed ourselves down again and were safely sitting in some folding chairs, Fitz and Simmons were starting to take an interest in my van, because it was still heavily spewing black smoke. I turned my head towards Nevra. "How is it possible for a toaster to make all that smoke?" I whisper. I notice Ward, Coulson, and May all move a little closer to try to listen in on our conversation. "Well…" she says, this also must be bad. "Just spit it out." I say a little harsher than I should have; her hair goes a bit yellow for a split second before turning back to normal. "Instead of plugging in the toaster into a regular outlet, I plugged it into the main power source, because of lots of reasons." I nod, not exactly following where she was going. "I do believe that this smoke is everything connected to the main power source, including…" I stare at her with wide eyes, just realizing how bad situation was. Now everybody, including Fitz and Simmons were looking at us, one of the reasons was because Nevra's hair was turning light pink from embarrassment. "the outer connected engine!" we both finish. The outer connected engine is what helps the bigness of the TARDIS fit inside the tiny outer shell. It is the part of the TARDIS to first start wearing down when the TARDIS is dying. Everyone is just staring at us like we are crazy, but do nothing to stop us when we run inside the van. In fact, they all follow us.
As I close the doors behind everyone with a snap and begin to look through the cabinets for air tanks, Nevra turns on the fans to at least get the almost toxic smoke out of the main control room. I turn around to watch their faces as they realize that the room they are now standing in is way larger and may actually fit multiple engines. Nevra disappears from the main console and appears next to me as we count the seconds.
One…
Two…
Three…
And then mouth along in almost pure delight, despite the situation,
"It's bigger on the inside!"
*I hope you enjoy Nevra. And no, her character idea did not come out of the blue. In chapter 3, I wrote 'Apparently every 230.7 also comes with a built in body that the soul of the TARDIS can inhabit. I have yet to figure how to turn on the body though.' On my profile page, I will have all of Nevra/TARDIS moods with the corresponding colors in case anyone is wondering.
