I sighed as I walked the way too familiar road back from school. The kids at school always bullied me because of my hair. Who cares if I decided to dye it green? Tears started forming and I looked down. I kicked a rock and heard it hit something. It sounded like wood. I looked up and saw something weird. A blue police box. The tears fell as I just couldn't shake the kids' cocky jokes about my hair. I raised my hand and let it glide on the wood. My hand fell on the handle. I opened the door and my eyes widened.
"It's bigger on the inside.." I mumbled to myself.
I quickly closed the door and walked around the mysterious box. When I reached the doors, they opened and a man looked out and saw me. He had dark brown hair and a weird bowtie. His choice of clothes were quite funny.
"Ah, hello!" he said with a warm smile.
I gave him a shy smile. His smile faded and he gently pushed me inside the box.
I turned around and gave him a confused look: "Why is it bigger on the inside? What is this? Why-"
"One question at a time," he said and walked towards me.
I took a deep breath and asked: "Who are you?"
"I'm The Doctor"
"Doctor who?"
"Exactly," he smiled and took a seat in a worn out sofa and patted the empty seat next to him, "now can I ask you a question, miss?"
"Just call me Diana" I smiled and sat next to him.
"Why were you crying?" he looked at me stiffly, but his eyes were warm.
I took my hand up to my cheek and whiped the tear stains. I felt my cheeks getting warm.
"I.. uhm.. Well you see...." how was I supposed to tell him? I took a deep breath and sighed: "Bullies..."
"I see.." he mumbled.
"Why is the box bigger on the inside?" I broke the silence between us.
"There are some things you have to look at from a different perspective," he proudly said, "this is my TARDIS. Stands for Time And Relative Dimention In Space."
"What can it do?" I got more and more confused.
"Travels in time and space,." he shrugged.
I nearly choked on air. What was this guy talking about?"
"T-time and space?"
The Doctor studied my face before jumping out and pressing some buttons.
"Is there anywhere you wanna go?" he smiled at me.
"I uh..." I thought hard about where I wanted to go, "show me the stars!" I gasped and a huge smile spread across my face.
"Alright!" he yelled and pulled some levers and pressed some buttons.
The box shook and made a lot of noises. When the shaking stopped, The Doctor opened the doors and guided me towards them. I gasped in surprise and I could feel tears starting to form.
"As a little kid, I always wanted to see the stars," I said as I whiped some happy tears away, "never thought I'd be able to see them this close."
I let out a little shriek and turned around. I looked at The Doctor and gave him a huge hug.
