A Girl Named Willow *The Adventures of the Tenth Doctor/COMPLETE*

Chapter Five

A/N: they're finally going to travel somewhere guys :-)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Willow explored the Tardis with the Doctor as her guide, pointing out buttons, levers and rooms.

After a while, Willow let out a small laugh as she relaxed on a small chair away from the control panel. 

"What?" The Doctor said, making his voice high pitched.

"I have so many questions, that's all."

"I thought you said you wanted to keep it a 'mystery'," the Doctor replied waving his hands around slowly.

"Not about how this works. More about you," Willow bent her head back as she spoke, savoring the way her voice bounced off the walls of this contraption. "You said travel. What do you mean?"

"I mean travel," the Doctor said. "We can go anywhere. You want to get away, this is your chance. Anytime, any place. We could go back to Ancient Rome or to the moon of Poosh if you'd like." 

"Moon of… Poosh?" 

"It's far beyond your solar system. There are planets and galaxies waiting to be seen by you and me."

"Doctor…" Willow said with denial in her voice. She could obviously see that this was no ordinary box, but the idea of traveling to another planet? It was outrageous and crazy, but she enjoyed the thought of it.

"You need proof, don't you?" The Doctor said hesitantly.

Willow laughed out loud before standing up and twirling around. 

"Doctor, I'm in a box that's a hell of a lot bigger on the inside. I don't think I need proof," she stopped spinning after she reached where the Doctor was standing. Willow looked into those mysterious eyes.

"Somehow, I trust you." 

A big grin spread on the Doctor's face. 

"Oh I like you, Willow." 

He turned to the panel and flipped a bunch of switches and punched a few buttons. After he pulled a massive lever, the floor beneath them rumbled and groaned, and a strange sound, a woosh surrounded them. 

"Don't worry," the Doctor assured her. "It's a perfectly normal liftoff." 

The ground shook again, this time more vigorously. 

"Are you sure you know how to fly this thing?" Willow shouted. 

"Oi, of course!" The Doctor said to her confidently. Quietly he turned around and added, "I failed to get my license, but so what?" 

The Tardis wooshed and rumbled one last time before everything ceased. 

"And we're here," the Doctor pushed open the door. 

"I can go out there?" Willow asked.

"Of course, why wouldn't you?" He said it in the high pitched voice from earlier. 

"I dunno," Willow said sheepishly. She cleared her throat and walked to the entrance of the Tardis. The Doctor gestured for her to go out. Before she did, Willow glanced at him. 

"You know so much about the stars, Doctor." 

"I tend to travel to them quite often if you haven't noticed," he gently patted the Tardis door. 

"Yes, but this is beyond anything a human could do." 

"Maybe. Maybe not."

"It's the eyes give you away," Willow stepped closer to the Doctor and gestured for him to lean down. They were face to face and Willow could see it all, including the way the Doctor blushed at how close they were.
