A/N:

Thanks for all the reads, guys! It really means a lot! 200 is a very happy number, don't you think? Hey, why not tell your friends about my stories? Tell your dog! Tell your uncle! Tell the creepy man across the street! Even tell the weird squirrel in your back yard!
Any suggestions? Put them in the comments.
I will do a shoutout if I feel anyone has been a really good supporter of me, and really nice!

"Right then, so where exactly can this thing go?" Hazel asked excitedly.

"Anywhere."

"Well, anywhere is an awful lot of places, don't you think? I think that means we should start now."

"I couldn't agree more." The Doctor smiled at her enthusiasm to get going. The Doctor fiddled around with the console-thing in the middle of the TARDIS. Hazel couldn't hide her excitement. She bounced up and down, like a small child who had just been told to grab an extra bit of cake. She was going to see the stars. Up close! She shivered with delight at that thought.

The TARDIS started to make a sound. A few moments after the sound started, it stopped with a great lurch and shudder of the whole thing. Hazel Grace fell backwards and landed on her bottom. The Doctor took one look at her and had to cover his mouth to stifle a laugh.

"Shut up," Hazel muttered. "Anyways, where are we? Jupiter? Saturn? Venus?" With every guess, the Doctor's smile widened. "What?" Hazel finally asked. "What's so amusing?"

"You're guessing the planets most familiar to you. There are so many more planets, stars, galaxies than you could even imagine. You're in the wrong solar system."

"Well, then tell me where we are!" Hazel demanded to know.

"The planet Kiiloth."

"Kiiloth? What kind of planet name is that?"

"The planet name of this planet."

"Well, what lives on Kiiloth?"

"Hardly anything. It's a starter planet, just to get you to know what this means."

"What what means?"

"You travelling with me." The Doctor turned to look her in the eyes. "That is what you want to do, right? That's why you're here, in the TARDIS, about to explore the planet Kiiloth of the 32nd region of Lothal?"

He's trying to test me, see if he can get in my brain. Well, I guess he is partially right, I do want to travel with him, learn more about him. But he's only a part of the equation. I just want to see the stars. My mom talked about star people. Maybe I'll see them. "Yes," Hazel answered finally.
