Thank you so much for reviewing! My first story here isn't completely hated! This is going to be a lot shorter than my "pilot" chapter haha… I'll try to keep updating despite of nasty school.

"I need to see the Doctor." I numbly stated as I whisked up the passage. The information wasn't so much for Amy's ears as a way for me to provide structure for myself in this crazy mess.

"I actually wanted to talk to him too." Amy replied, her voice impressively steady. She followed up the hall behind me, creating an awkward silence broken only by the whirring of my machinery and the muffled shuffle of slippered feet.

"How long have you been traveling with him?" I asked after about fifteen seconds, trying to dissipate the cloud of awkward that had permeated the hallway.

"It's been… awhile." Amy said, quickening her pace until she was walking beside me.

"Do you usually fly around saving people?"

"Yup. But not only humans. We've seen lizard people, and giant eyeball spaceships, and even the end of the universe. You'll probably see some yourself if you stay here long." She looked at me and let a genuine smile light up her face.

"The end of the universe?" I questioned, letting my voice drip with skepticism. "We're still here, aren't we?"

"This is a time machine. The T.A.R.D.I.S. stands for time and… uh…relative... dimension in space. It all gets really complicated sometimes, but most of the time it's just a lot of fun."

Not sure what to say, I looked ahead, and saw into the main control room. The nose and the chin were standing around the console arguing. I caught the words Dalek and dangerous before I realized they were discussing me. I started to halt, but Amy draped her arm around like she would do if I was a normal human.

"Come on, don't worry about them." We entered the golden room together, a blessing I was grateful for. Rory glanced down at us and did a double take, obviously surprised at Amy's strange company. "Hello boys," Amy smiled.

"Oswin, Amelia!" the Doctor cried out childishly. "Is everything… happy again?" he asked, looking at my buddy.

"It's superb." I answered. "I was actually wondering if you could help me with something."

"Yes!" he grinned. "Name it."

"Is it possible to terminate the path web's connection to my consciousness?" I watched his face wrinkle as he thought about the implications of removing such an important portion of Dalekness. It seemed possible, setting up an impasse didn't seem too complicated…Unless! Was the path web connected to my mind or my Dalek shell? Was there even a clear line between the two? The Doctors brow was still creased in concentration as he muttered to himself, and I started to worry. "Is the path web stuck in my brain?!" I blurted out, desperate to know how bad it was.

"What?" He asked, looking confused. "No, no, it's inside your war computer, well, actually it's the heart of your war computer. I could try to remove the connective technology, but it could be… not good.

"Well, what's the worst that could happen?" I asked.

"Um. I could trigger a self-destruct sequence, or cause all sorts of things to get all jumbled together. Dalek systems aren't exactly created to be altered," the Doctor apologized.

Feeling slightly disappointed, I said "It's worth the effort if it keeps everyone un-exterminated. Is there anything I can do that would make it possible? I could shut my systems down?"

"Why didn't I think of that?"

His irritated voice sent waves of hope bouncing through me, and I answered: "Because you're not as genius as I am. The lights in the T.A.R.D.I.S. dimmed and a threatening groan resounded in the console room. Looking a bit peeved, the Doctor went to stroke the controls.

"Now now dear, don't throw a-" the Doctor was cut off as the ground bucked, throwing all four of us up in the air. The Doctor managed to grab onto the railings, Rory fell out of sight, and I saw a figure clinging outside catch Amy as she was flung out the T.A.R.D.I.S. doors. I slid back and felt a corridor appear behind that had definitely NOT been there before. Another tremor caused me to tip and roll into the silky darkness that was the passage.

As the wall closed in front of me I heard an unfamiliar voice say "Hello sweetie!"
