I look around in amazement. It's one thing to see it on T.V. and a completely other thing to actually be inside of it. Especially when you thought it was... well... fake.
"What's it like?" Zach whispers in my ear. I'm still holding his arm from when I guided him in.
"Incredible," I whisper back. I wish he could see it for himself.
"Now then. Who are you, and why were you in a room full of Weeping Angels?" My attention directs itself to the other man in the room: David Tennant.
"Well, David-" I begin.
"Do you call everyone you meet that or just me?"
"Uh..."
"No, Doctor," Zach jumps in. "You may just remind her of someone else is all." The Doctor looks between the two of us.
"How do you know each other?"
"Well..."
"We ran into each other," I state.
"How did you contact me?" I swallow, not sure as to why I am so paranoid with this situation.
"I contacted you."
"How?"
"With the force." My cheeks start to burn and I feel like this isn't even reality anymore. Maybe it's all a dream that will go away.
"Look, Doctor." I step forward with a sense of confidence I didn't have a minute ago. I let go of Zach's hand. "My name is Lila and this is Zach. While we were there, Zach, uh, ran into the situation of-"
"Looking an Angel in the eyes?" I nod. He thinks for a moment. "I don't know if I can help him."
"I could be blind forever?!" I turn around and look at him. His faces shows his fear, even though his eyes are closed.
"There are two possible ways this can happen. The first way, you tell me where I can drop each of you off because your outfits show you're not from the same world. It's the easier way, too."
"What's the catch?" I ask. I had to many experiences where things aren't always what they seem. I turn around and the Doctor avoids my eyes, a sadness filling them. I recognize the look. "We forget all of this." The Doctor looks up at me in shock for a moment, as if surprised I figured it out. His eyes then start to study me like I'm some sort of wonder in the world.
"None of it."
"Not even each other?" Zach steps forward and grabs my hand, almost in a way he wasn't use to having fingers, and pulls me back towards him. "I wanna do the second way." I stand there stunned. Then I remember he can't see me.
"You're sure? We're probably not suppose to have me-"
"This has been the best day of my life. No way I wanna forget it."
"But we still could be breaking some laws. I mean, you're from Tatooine and went to Ninjago which is-"
"So?" I sigh, feeling slightly defeated. I just met him and I could tell there was no way I was going to change his mind. I turn around.
"What's the second option?" A glint of mischievous forms in his eyes, almost as if he had hoped we would pick this choice. A look I had loved seeing on the show that somehow filled me with dread.
"Well there is a special type of water somewhere and the last time I tried going to it was on Mars when-"
"The Flood had infected the water and was infecting the people there that you then saved." The Doctor gives me a look I would of laughed at on the show. A look saying, "How on Earth could you possibly know that?"
"Who are you? I could of sworn I was on my own then. Have we met before?He's in my face by the last question and I have catch myself before backing up into Zach.
"N-no."
"Who are you?"
Appologies but I'll have to upload the rest either later or Monday seeing I'm running out of time in this class period and I'm afraid to be in the middle of a post when I have to leave.
I look around in amazement. It's one thing to see it on T.V. and a completely other thing to actually be inside of it. Especially when you thought it was... well... fake.

"Looking an Angel in the eyes?" I nod. He thinks for a moment. "I don't know if I can help him."
"Doctor," Zach says. The Doctor stares at me for a moment longer before going back to the controls of the Tardis. I swallow.
"Right. You two are going to be dropped off in a place I am fairly certain has this sort of water. Getting there, however, is going to be the tricky part." I guide Zach to the controls so he can have a good grip to keep him from flying everywhere.
"Where is it?"
"Naboo." I freeze, my hands dropping to my sides. This was the second time a reference to Star Wars has been mentioned today and I've been standing in the Tardis with the Doctor... Maybe I'm dreaming. "Hold on!" I grab the bar around the controls with one hand just as the Doctor flips a switch. The engine begins to whirl and the lights flicker in and out. Before I know it, the room is tilting and I almost feel like I'm spinning in a circle. I use my strength and grab the bar with my other hand to help steady me where my feet are on the floor.
After a minute that felt like an hour, we stop and the engine falls silent. I take a breath that I was apparently holding and swallow. Without even realizing it, I sink down in a crouch, trying to comprehend what just happened. I think the word for this is shock. Why am I going into shock? Because everything is now kicking in that I am in a different dimension than when I started and I have met the Doctor and I'm probably in another dimension then I was originally in. I guess the "flight" just made it all sink in.
"Lila?" I let out another breath and close my eyes. I'm still holding on to the bar of the controls.
"I'm... here, Zach." The next thing I know is I feel a presence on my left. It has to be the Doctor because Zach is on my right. I feel like if I open my eyes and look at him I might just throw up, so I just keep them closed for now. I focus on my breathing. In. Out. In. Out.
"You know, you never made the comment that everyone usually makes." I swallow.
"C-comment?" I sense him squatting down next to me, getting in my ear. Chills go down my neck and back.
"It's bigger on the inside. Why didn't you say that when you first entered, Lila? Why are you suddenly in shock now?" They're not really questions I have to answer. It's more him pondering aloud as usual. I open my eyes and turn and face him. He's studying me.
"Of course you're not. Not anymore, at least. But why did you go in shock? Why... did you all me by another name?" I feel myself blushing.
"I know a lot of things."
"Not as much as me."
"You'd be surprised." He studies me, a hint of mischievousness in his eyes.
"Alright. What are you in?" I swallow.
"Lila, maybe we shouldn't-" I stand up and the Doctor follows suit. I then turn around and look at him confidently in the eyes.
"We are in the TARDIS. It stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It could turn into anything, but then got stuck on the police box as it's look. It's Gallifreyan Technology that makes it bigger on the inside. You are a Time Lord, who once lived on Gallifrey. You differ from humans by regenerating and you have two hearts instead of one."
"How do you know this? Wait... wait... I know. You do resemble him... prehaps..." Before I can question him, he rushes towards the doors. "Right then. We have arrived. Let's get him to that stream." He walks outside and I'm left to guide Zach carefully to the door.
