Stella followed the Doctor, and found herself standing in front of a blue phone box.
"Come on!" He gestured her to come inside, as he opened the door.
"What is that?" She said, looking at the box in awe.
"It's the TARDIS. Stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It's my time machine."
"Oh.... Wait wha-"
The Doctor pulled her inside, and she expected to be crashing into a wall, but instead, she felt as if there was bigger space inside. She opened her eyes, and saw something she couldn't explain.
"It's... it's-"
"Bigger on the inside, yes, yes, I hadn't noticed, really." He remarked, sarcastically.
"But... how?!"
"It just has a different interior dimension." He stated as a matter of fact.
Stella twirled around, trying to get a panoramic view of the TARDIS' interior. There was a large control panel in the middle of what seems to be the lobby.
"She's a beauty, isn't she?" Stella nodded. "There are a lot of other rooms. The TARDIS extends to infinity. There was a swimming pool here, but I can't seem to bring myself to find it."
"Now, what you said... about me wishing on a star..." Stella whispered.
"I'll tell you sometime. But for now- you have to wait."
"Wait for what?"
"Until you're older. I can't bring a six-year-old-"
"Eight." Stella corrected.
"Eight-year-old to get involved with some trouble, you know." He lifted Stella up, and sat her down on a couch, which she never knew was there; and sat down beside her.
"But why come now?" She pleaded.
"The TARDIS can get a little tricky, plus, she brought me to the wrong time. I should have met you 7 years later."
"That means..." Stella counted on her fingers. "...when I'm fifteen?" He nodded.
Stella was very frustrated. She wanted to see what's beyond of what she saw. She wanted to see more stars, more comets, more space, more everything. She wanted to go now. Heaven knows what she's going to do in those seven years. And then, she remembered the missing phone from earlier.
"But why didn't I find our house phone?"
The Doctor frowned. Something was wrong, and that's why he was here in the first place- to warn her. He decided to tell her the next time he comes around. "You'll know." He plastered a fake smile on his face. He waved goodbye, and the TARDIS whooshed into thin air.
Stella was too stubborn to wait.
She was on board, like a rebel.
