A few days later it was early hours of the morning aboard The TARDIS, Clara was fast asleep in her room, The Doctor was once again fiddling with bits on The TARDIS and Sarah was in tbe huge libary filled with every book ever written. She was laying on her front on a huge floor cushion infront of a cozy fire reading a book on the rise and fall Nazi germany. Her head still hurt slightly from being knocked out by The King and she sat her book down to rub her forehead wincing when she touched the gaze by accident. She went to lift her book back up to find it missing. confussed she looked all around the cosy little corner she was in finding no sign of it.
"Alright Little Blue was this you?" Sarah asked stroking the wall.
Clara had said The TARDIS liked to play tricks on her and Sarah wondered if this was The TARDIS playing tricks on her now. A low hum came in response and Sarah felt a small brushing against her mind and the sudden urge to go to the console room.
"Alright Little Blue but I want my book back" Sarah sighed before heading to the console room
She managed to find it quite easily altho she had a feeling The TARDIS was guiding her there. The Doctor was up on the upper level drawing strange circular designs on his chalk board. The designs looked abit like the ones on the rotating part of the console.
"What are you drawing? those designs are everywere" Sarah asked.
The Doctor turned round and raised one eyebrow at Sarah which made him look abit like a loopsided owl. He was still holding his chalk im the air as if he was mid drawing.
"Drawing? I'm not drawing I'm writting. It's Gallifreyan the language of my home planet" The Doctor explained in disbelief that she didn't know
"Wait hang on your not from earth?" Sarah gasped standing straighter in shock.
"You thought I was?" The Doctor asked matching Sarah's shock
"You look Human" She stated
"You look Timelord, we came first" The Doctor retored sounding offended "Hang on did The TARDIS not give it away? its hardly human made"
"I thought you were from the future" Sarah shrugged
"Pudding brains the whole human race pudding brains" The Doctor muttered "What are you doing here anyway shouldn't you be sleeping" The Doctor snapped
"Cant sleep. I was reading in the libary but Little Blue took my book and led me here" Sarah explained
"Little Blue?" The Doctor asked puzzled
"The TARDIS" Sarah blushed she hadn't ment to say Little Blue out loud
"She's far from little, Sarah" Said The Doctor
"I know but she likes it" Sarah shrugged running her hand along the console edges
"How do you know she likes it?"
"I dunno just do" Sarah frowned stroking the glass collum which glowed slightly brighter and hummed peacefully at her touch.
"She certainly seems to like you. two thousand years and I've never seen her react to anyone apart from me like that" The Doctor commented walking down tne steps and over to the console
"two thousand years? You're two thousand years old?" Sarah asked in disbelief
"And a bit yea" The Doctor smiled
"You don't look it" Sarah complamented
"Im genetically inhanced so that when im dying I change get a whole new body personality everything" The Doctor explained.
As The Doctor finished his explaination, the monitor beside Sarah turned on flicking through pictures of different men. one older looking man holding onto his lapels, one with dark curly hair huge wide eyes and a long multi-coloured scarf. A man with blonde curly hair and a very bright multi-coloured coat. The TARDIS flicked through a few more before settling on a man whose hair was sweeped over to one side he had a huge goofy smile on his face and a red bow tie which made Sarah laugh
"Yea I thought they were cool then" The Doctor said embarressed
"These are all you?" Sarah asked
"Yep and a few more she left a few out" The Doctor said turning the monitor off "Left the most embaressing ones in tho" He muttered to himself
"So have you had many people traveling with you then?" Sarah asked folding her arms over her chest in curiosity.
Before The Doctor even had a chance to say anything the monitor sprung to life again flicking through images of different woman and men. The list seemed to go on forever.
"Was that a leather bikini? Didn't think you were into that sort of thing" Sarah giggled
"I'm not" The Doctor shouted angerly
"I'm just teasing Doctor" Sarah laughed
"Yea well don't" He snapped back
"Doctor I'm sorry" Sarah appologised backing away as he glared at her "I didn't mean to make you angry" She'd backed up against one of the railings. She was frightened now very frightened.
"What's going on?" Clara's voice rang from behind The Doctor.
"Nothing" The Doctor grumbled before storming passed Clara and down the corridor.
"You ok?" Clara asked Sarah. Who just nodded in responce still stunned by what had just happened. Her heart still pounding in her chest.
"You don't look it. You look terrified" Clara said walking over to Sarah
"I'm ok really I over reacted just. Habit I guess" Sarah shrugged trying to pull herself together
"Habit?" Clara questioned
"My mum's boyfriend used to get angry alot and take it out on me. That was the first time I've seen someone get angry like that since I left" Sarah confessed feeling really stupid.
She'd only known The Doctor a few days but she knew he'd never be violent towards her, She'd no reason to be frightened. Sarah looked down at the ground in embaressment and spotted her book on the floor under the console unit. She walked over and picked it up.
"Looks like its not just you she likes playing tricks on" Sarah laughed showing Clara the book "I was reading this in the libary and it disapeared"
Clara read the title "Bit of a strange bedtime story"
"Im studying to become a History teacher and Nazi germany is part of my assignment" Sarah explained
"You want to be a teacher?" Clara asked smugly
"After my Gran died, teachers were the only people nice to me I want to be able to do that for someone else. It ment alot to me" Sarah answered shyly before heading back to the libary with her book. Leaving Clara rather stunned at the information she'd just learnt.
