Daniel stepped out of the school and sniffed the air. It was a ritual that several of his classmates had told him was strange, but they accepted it because he was the one they usually went to for homework help. Today though, something was different. The school didn't smell entirely normal. There was a smell he couldn't identify floating around. Something not human, or animal for that matter. He started following his nose and rounded a corner into an alley. Watching around him, the student searched out the source of the smell. Oddly, for being in Colorado, he found a British phone box in the back of the alley. "Hello? Is there anybody home?" He walked up to the box, still getting the wierd scent from it. The box itself smelled like wood and glass, but it felt like that was just a mask and someone was hiding something from him. The peculiar odor was coming from the middle of the door, so he stepped up close to it, following his nose up to the edge of the door. "Hmm, no response. I guess it wouldn't hurt to just take a peek." He wrapped his sleeve around his hand, to keep off fingerprints, and opened the door carefully. What he saw inside looked much larger than anything that could possibly have fit in that phone box. He walked around the box, looking in, and behind, puzzled. "That's not right..."

(So sorry it took me so long, business with four characters 'n stuff)
The Doctor was running. It wasn't such an odd thing for him, he did a lot of it despite the elderly form this regeneration had given him. He had dropped his Sonic on the nearby train tracks, and it was just his luck that a freight train was on its way to merrily crushing the tool.
The train tracks were now just ten feet ahead, the train itself was not far behind. He tried to go a little faster, and he was making it until his foot tapped over a rock, which slid and gave way under him.
The Sonic was destroyed. The Doctor grimaced at the sight of the broken Galifreyan technology.
Picking himself up and straightening his bow-tie, he made his way back to the school. It was the same school that Susan attended, though he chose not to think about her a lot. It brought too much guilt.
The Tardis was dutifully parked there, his big blue box of time, but there was something off about it. The door was open. It was never open, not when he had specifically closed it tightly to insure that no students got in.
"That's not right..."
"You are correct. Well, it's not right by human standards, but those don't really matter when it comes down to the Tardis." he said with a smile.
Offering a handshake, he continued, "Time And Relative Dimension In Space. In other words, this is a time-machine." he explained.
"My question is, how and why did you come inside?" he was still smiling, though now it was authoritative.

The boy looked at the old man, who seemed to be totally out of his mind, "Time machine? Those are impossible." He looked back inside, "So is that. Some sort of illusion, right?" He tried to think of what could possibly explain the situation otherwise.

The Doctor got a look, but he got those a lot. He simply drew his hands behind his back and smiled. "Time machine? Those are impossible." he said matter-of-factly.
"Are they?" he gestured to the Tardis.
"So is that. Some sort of illusion, right?" he assumed.
"Well of course not! It's a phone box. It travels through time. And..." he grinned, "It's bigger on the inside."
He opened the doors. "I'll prove it." he assured Daniel.

Daniel looked at the old man as he walked further into the phone booth than was physically possible before following, "It's really bigger inside? Incredible..." He spun around slowly, looking admiringly at the sculpted interior, "So it also travels through space?"
