//------------------------------// // Chapter 2, First Flight // Story: The Author's Auto Biograhy // by Cool writer //------------------------------// The next day was another day of school, I came home, to take the TARDIS out for a spin. I raced into my backyard shed, where I stored the TARDIS and produced the key. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. I slammed the door shut and took a moment to marvel at this amazing alien machine, that had psychically given me the ability to fly it. Something I did not know at the time but do know now is that TARDISes are living organisms! They also have a small psychic field that translates any language in the universe. But, I didn't know that. I switched on the console, and the dim lights turned up, and the screen came on: still showing canterlot with the date. Unfortunately, it was yesterday's date. I hit a little button, making this a spacial travel (meaning it would only teleport). I gulped. "Here we go," I said, nervously reaching a hoof for the handbrake. I pulled it. BAM! The silver grey cylinder TARDIS took off! VROOP! VROOP! The room shook violently and rocked back and forth, as the TARDIS vanished from my shed and flew through the place between places: the time vortex! I had turned on the auto pilot, so all I had to do was hold on tight! "Woo hoo!!!" I cried out, holding onto the console for dear life. The room shook so much, it was like being on "the saucer" amusement park ride, the one where you spin around and around so fast, that you're held to your seat by centrifugal force! VROOOP! VROOOOOP! BUM BUM! All at once, the central glass column stopped it's up and down motion, the room settled down, and I landed. I stood up, looking around the room. I was in a different place, I was in canterlot! More specifically, I was somewhere in Canterlot castle. It was the middle of the day, when I landed. I saw a few guards pacing the halls. A short walk down the hall led me to a bridge between two towers, from which I could look down and see the whole city, even some of my home in the distance. "Wow! This is so cool!" I said to myself. I heard some more guards coming and rushed back to the TARDIS. Inside, the screen had some words flashing on it: DATABASE UPDATE. I clicked around on the monitor and saw something. My eyes bulged almost entirely out of my head. Now, the TARDIS could take me anywhere... even off-planet! I grinned with glee as I realized that I had all of time and space at my hoof-tips. I was going to see every planet, and every starI couldn't wait to get started.
