Chapter Two.
"So, would you be surprised if I told you I was an alien from another planet? And that, most likely, going by the looks of this place, from another dimension?" The Doctor asked. By now the pair where striding through Castle Town together. Both had mutual feelings of fascination towards each other, and thought the other mysterious. What caused them to trust each other so quickly is unknown to either of them.
Link simply smirked at the question. "Not at all."
"You have potential..."
Link quirked an eyebrow. "...Potential? For what, exactly?"
"You'll see. I need to get back to my ship first," He smiled, like he had some big secret.
"Your ship? Do you mean like a boat?"
"Nope! Even better! It's a space ship. It disappears one place, and appears somewhere else!"
Link rolled hid eye. "Thank you for explaining it to me like I'm stupid child."
The Doctor shot him a look that basically shouted 'shut up.' Link just giggled.
"Well... It's a ship, nonetheless. Is your ship called something?"
"Yep! Sexy!" He clamped a hand over his own mouth, blushing bright red. "I- I mean, I meant, she's called the TARDIS!"
Link burst into laughter. Men and their ships. "Honestly, Doctor. Keep your pet names to yourself!"
The Doctor stomped his foot, obviously still embarrassed. He decided a change in subject was much needed if he were to survive the whole day. He had no idea what compelled him to say his nickname for the TARDIS in front of a boy he just met. "A, anyway... TARDIS stands for 'Time And Relative Dimension In Space.'"
Link paused and took a moment to analyse the words. His laughter from only seconds ago was gone from him and his blue eye turned a shade of icy gray. "So... It can time travel as well..."
The Doctor beamed proudly, nodding, until he noticed Link's grim expression. "What is it?'
"I just never really had any good experiences with time travel."
They walked in unsettling silence for a while, until the Doctor stopped in font of a large, blue, rectangular box. Link looked at it in confusion.
"What is a... Police... public call box?"
"This is my TARDIS!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"But... It's a tad small... And made of wood..."
The Doctor opened his mouth to protest, but Link spoke first, smiling. "But i bet that's what's so clever about it, huh? It's only disguised."
"Damn, you're clever," The Doctor muttered, smirking. He pushed open the door, and motioned for Link to step inside. For a moment, the boy just stood and marveled at the warm light emanating from inside, then slowly steps inside. His eyebrows shoot up high on his forehead, as he dashes over to the large circular console, which seemed to have been built from random items and switches.
"I've never seen a machine like this before!" He shouted as the Doctor came up the steps and joined him. The awe-struck boy ran a hand over the large cylindrical glass tube in the center of the console. The TARDIS seemed to per with affection. "I think she likes me!"
The Doctor stared at Link. Not only had he managed to connect with the TARDIS almost instantly... But... He didn't say the THING yet!
"She's alive, isn't she?" Link asked. The Doctor nodded. Link noticed the staring. "...What?"
"You... You seriously haven't noticed the fact that all of this fits into a tiny blue box?!" He finally gasped. Link just shrugged.
"Of course I noticed. ...It's not really a big deal."
The Doctor gaped at him. "What?!"
"Um... Yeah. my pockets are like that." He patted the brown pouches attached to his belt.
"But that's Time Lord technology!"
"Time Lord...?"
"That's my species..." He mumbles quietly, so Link doesn't hear. "Or at least they were..."
"Oh. Look, I can prove it!" Just to prove his point, he pulls from his four inch pouch a seven foot long, heavy looking sword, that looked like it was giving him problems.
Just then, a thumping noise echoed throughout the TARDIS, along with a strange, wheezing, groaning noise.
"Is that supposed to happen?!" Link yelled as he hung on to the railing to keep upward, for the TARDIS was now rocking violently.
"NO!'
