//------------------------------// // Chapter 1, Time and Relative Dimensions... // Story: The Author's Auto Biograhy // by Cool writer //------------------------------// Before we begin, I should mention I'm using a magic quill that writes down anything I say. I should also tell you who I am, I am The Author. If that gives you flash backs to a certain other timelord... then it's because I was... "little" when I came up with that title, I just haven't come up with anything better. My life started... well not started... more like, "got exciting" in my back yard. It's a little weird sounding, "my life got exciting in my backyard," but it did. So one day, I was... I think seven... and just sitting in my backyard, looking up at the night sky and thinking about what else could be out there. "It would make a great story," I said to myself. At this point in my life, I already knew what my purpose was,(meaning, had a cutie mark) writing! So I was constantly coming up with ideas that I might follow, or just leave the to clutter up my idea drawer. I also wasn't called the Author back then, I was actually named "golden straw," but changed when I got a little older. Then, I looked up at a bright star. A REALLY bright star. Suddenly, BOOM! A large, metal cylinder, crashed in my backyard! There was a small hole in it, and that hole had a key sticking out of it. I, tentatively approached the object. When I got to it, I did what any child would do to a strange object: I poked it with a stick! The object did nothing. After waiting for a bit, I got a little bit closer. I turned the key in the hole and heard something click. After I turned the key, I levitated it out of the lock. I looked closer at the object, and then I noticed something: the wall was a panel. 'It must be a door or something!' I thought to myself. So, going on that theory, I pushed the panel and it gave way, opening. I was genuinely awestruck at the inside of the object. I took a few steps back, to examine the outside to see if I had it correct. The object... was bigger on the inside! Not like when a house looks small but it's actually big... no. This thing... was LITERALLY, bigger on the inside! Inside of it was a small room, with white walls, floor, and ceiling. The walls had small circles in them, producing light for the room. The center of the room had a strong table thing, with controls and a small piece of cylinder glass sticking out of it. I stepped inside the room and took a closer inspection on the table. There were all sorts of levers, buttons, knobs, dials, gauges, and meters. I wasn't sure what any of it did. Suddenly, my brain started to go fuzzy. New knowledge filled my brain. This machine... was called a TARDIS. "T-A-R-D-I-S, that's time and relative dimensions in space." A voice in my head said. It was a spaceship, and a time machine! I knew something, that I could find a book to tell me to fly the TARDIS in the TARDIS library. So, I walked to the library. After a long time of searching for the library, searching the library for the manual, reading the manual, and practicing simulated flight... I was finally ready to start flying the TARDIS. I walked to the console, and started to type in coordinates. "Ok, so... I want today, right now... in... canter...lot!" I hit something like an enter key. The monitor displayed a picture on canterlot, at night, with today's date in the corner of the screen. I grinned, as I had entered the coordinates correctly. Now, came the hard part: flying it. I walked to the handbrake. I gulped. "Here we go!" I said nervously. But before I pulled the lever, I heard my mother calling my to go to bed. I sighed angrily. So, I switched off the console, and the light dimmed down. Then, I walked out of the TARDIS, closed and locked the door, and went inside.
