What I saw was my old friend Liam, someone I hadn't seen in a month. The reason is because I run away every night in my T.A.R.D.I.S. and go to other planets, time periods, and universes. The reason I do this is because I age VERY slowly, so I need to look like I've aged a day. Anyways, back to Liam. I first met Liam back in 6th grade. We would have lunch together, and then we would play Marble Blast Gold. Liam showed me how to input cheat codes on the game, and using the zero gravity cheat plus the spawn items cheat, I was able to get a record time of 00.00.00. That was 339 years ago for me. I didn't recognize him right away, and he clearly didn't either. I didn't know where I was, so I asked him "Where am I?". He answered, "Welcome to Minecraft, I'm Liam.". "Liam?" I asked, because I couldn't recognize him with his new clothes. Then I asked, "Is it really you?". He seemed confused, and then I realized why. I was also wearing new clothes, and my new hat was partially covering my face in shadows. Basically, I was a 4th Doctor cosplayer. To clear his confusion, I told him my name. I said, "I'm Jackson, remember?". I could see it in his eyes that he finally recognized me. "Ohhhhhh," he said, "I almost didn't recognize you." I motioned for him to come inside, hoping that we could catch up on everything we missed. Since he had never seen a T.A.R.D.I.S. before, I was half expecting him to say "It's bigger on the inside!", but he didn't. As we entered the console room, I pointed to the console and said, "The T.A.R.D.I.S. is damaged, but it can fix itself". Then, Liam pointed at my right hand and said, "What happened to your hand?". It took me a second to realize what he was talking about, but then I answered "The flesh coating on my hand must have burned when I electrocuted myself on the console. I lost my whole right arm in a sword fight in the Percy Jackson universe. It's almost completely grown back, but it will take a few more regenerations to finish it." I should probably have mentioned earlier that even by Timelord standards, I'm abnormal. I can regenerate infinite amounts of times, while all the other Timelords could only regenerate 12 times. Back to the story now. Liam looked pretty confused, and then he asked me, "How long does it go on for?". It took me a second to figure out what he meant, but then I responded, "Oh, the T.A.R.D.I.S.? It goes on forever.". Then I pulled out my Sonic Screwdriver so that I could scan and see how bad the damage was. My screwdriver was a recolored version of the real 11th Doctor's screwdriver, mine is green and black instead of blue and silver. Anyways, when I pressed the button, Liam jumped in surprise and wings pooped out from his back. I nearly peed my pants. I told him, "I've known you for 339 years, and not once have you told me you've had wings. What is wrong with you?". Liam seemed surprised about how old I was. He said, "Wait, 339 years? You're only 13!". I could understand his confusion. After all, I never told anyone what I really was, except my sister, and now she hates me because I'm an alien. But that's a story for another day. I then explained, "I'm a Timelord, I can live for thousands of years and never age. You're the only one besides my sister that knows this.". Then he said, "You mean you're sister and us?". Then, he motioned to two girls who were looking around the T.A.R.D.I.S., with an awed expression on their faces. I jumped, and then mentally scolded myself for not closing and locking the T.A.R.D.I.S. doors behind us. I was pretty mad at Liam for letting these two humans follow him into the most powerful ship in any universe. I'll have to wipe their memories later, to make sure that they never tell anyone about my T.A.R.D.I.S.. I sighed in exasperation, then I told him, "Liam, you need to stop adventuring without me.". I heard him chuckle, but I was too busy preparing for my departure to notice that he had snuck away.

*Author's Notes* Thank you DragonHunter747 for letting me do this. If any readers want to find out what happens next in the story, go read Tactics: A Minecraft Story by DragonHunter747.

Enjoy Chapter 3!!!!!!
