(I dedicate this chapter and the chapters here on to Doctors_Son. Thanks, Em! You helped me a whole lot with my writer's block!)

I ran outside and stood outside of the TARDIS. I looked around in amazement. This part of Gallifrey looked so much different than the part of Gallifrey where we were born. The grass was greener, the trees were, well, healthier, and the buildings were... wait...

"Ash, look!" I pointed at the buildings.

Ash sighed as he stood next to me. "Yeah, they're buildings... what of it?"

I chuckled. "We've never seen a building before." I pointed out.

Ash pointed to the TARDIS behind us. "We've never seen a blue box that's bigger in the inside, either. And there that is..."

As soon as he said that, the TARDIS disappeared, making a noise that sounded like a race car and a blender. "Guess we're stuck here..." I sighed.

Ask pointed to a tree in the distance. "Look, there's Dad!"

I gasped. Sure enough, sitting under the tree, was my father, Theta. I saw Koschei walk up to him smiling. They shared a conversation and I ran towards them, yelling, "Daddy!"

Ash sighed and followed me. I ran and gave Koschei a hug. He hugged me back. "Hey, Kiddo."

Ash couldn't contain himself any longer. He ran up to Theta and hugged him. "Daddy!!!"

Theta stood up and hugged Ash. "Hey, Ash! Where have you guys been?"

I unattached myself from my Dad and looked at him. "We were in a scary cave, and then these mean trashcan guys chased us, and then an older version of you saved us!!!" I said, really fast.

Theta frowned. "Mean trashcans?"

Koschei shrugged. "I think he means Daleks..."

Theta gasped. "Daleks? Here?!?!" He looked around expecting to see a Dalek.

Ash shook his head. "I think that was in another time zone..."

That's sighed with relief. "Oh, Good... I just learned what a Dalek was in class today. I do NOT want to meet one of those..."

I shook my head in agreement. "No, you don't."

Theta looked at Koschei. "We are terrible parents. We didn't even know that they were gone..."

Koschei nodded. "Yep. Absolutely terrible..."

Theta lightly smacked his shoulder. "You're not supposed to agree with me..."

Koschei shrugged and looked down at me. "So, Scar. How old are you?"

I put up my whole hand and wiggled my fingers. "Ash and I are five."

Theta nodded. "I think that calls for a family trip! What do you think Koschei?"

Koschei looked at Theta, surprised. "A trip? In what?"

Theta grinned. "A TARDIS, of course!"

"But, we don't have a TARDIS! And the only ones that we COULD use are locked away in the Academy Lab..." Koschei said, whining slightly at the end.

Theta reached into his pockets and brought out a pair of keys. "Already on it. Swiped it during recess."

Koschei sighed. "You scare me sometimes..."

Theta stuck out his tongue at him. "Good! ... Come on, boys! Family trip!"

I held Dad's hand as we walked up to the reddish building. I gasped.

"Is this the academy?" I asked.

Theta nodded and opened the door for us. "Yup!" He said, popping the 'p'.

I looked around at all of the TARDISes inside the building. "Which one are we taking?" I asked, curiously.

Theta wiggled the keys. "Whichever one these open." He replied, going to every TARDIS and trying to unlock them. He finally found the TARDIS that the keys belonged to and opened the door. "Ah, here we are!"

We all walked in and waited for There to start up the TARDIS. As soon as he did, the TARDIS started shaking.

Koschei looked at Theta warily. "Are you sure you know how to drive this thing?"

Theta nodded eagerly. "Yu'p', only had one lesson, though, so we'll see how it goes!" He exclaimed, rather excitedly.

Koschei's mouth dropped open. "ONLY ONE LESSON? ARE YOU INSANE?" He yelled over the loud rose of the console.

Theta laughed like a maniac and we all held on for dear life, as the TARDIS sped through the vortex. "YU'P', YOU KNOW IT!"

As soon as the TARDIS landed, Koschei ran outside and fell dramatically onto the ground. "LAND!!!"

Theta rolled his eyes and stepped outside, Ash and I following more slowly. "Where are we?" I asked.

That's grinned and dramatically opened his arms wide. "Welcome to the zoo, boys!"
