Oops, Oracle was starting to think maybe she let that one out of the bag a little to quickly “Look the only reason I knew you where a Time Lord when I found you I checked to see if you where breathing and if you had a pulse when I felt the double heart beat the only species I know who have a double heart beat are Time Lords so I just put two and two together.”
Oracle stood up “Looks like Earth.” “That’s because it is Earth, Coleraine is just a city in Northern Ireland.” "And you look human." Oracle smirked she often forgot how little differences there where between her and humans “Ya and so do you what’s your point?” she went over to a closet and started digging in it “Look if it’ll make you feel any better I think I’ve got a fairly basic world map in here somewhere.” she started tossing stuff out of the closet.
She pulled out the map and knocked some dust off of it “Here we go” she went over to a table and smoothed it out placing something on all of the corners to hold it down.

Andi bit her lip and frowned slightly in embarrassment. Of course looks weren't everything, she knew she looked human. Squeezing her hands into tight fists Andi stood there in silence, embarrassed at her knowledge she had shown to this girl. Time Lords were supposed to be wise.... And Andi clearly wasn't.
Looking over at the map she shook her head. "I'm fine, I know where Ireland is."'she declared clearly. "I don't need to look at the map." she told her host. Then her brown eyes darted back to the window. Earth looked like what she expected, but she had never expected to find an alien her first time here.
Looking back at the girl she blinked slowly, appearing calm. "What did you say your name was again?" she asked softly. Since she was here and she hadn't the slightest idea if the TARDIS would even take her anywhere else she better get to know this girl.

Oracle smiled when she saw that Andi seemed embarrassed “don’t worry everyone makes mistakes.” She shrugged when Andi said she didn’t need to look at the map, Oracle took the stuff off of the map and rolling it up and chucking it back in the closets direction.
She noticed how Andi’s kept looking out the window “You can go out there if you want like I said nothings gonna happen.” "What did you say your name was again?" “huh oh it’s Oracle.” she offered her hand and smiled.

Andi nodded. "Well Oracle, I promised you I would be out of your hair once you answered my question. Thanks so much for not letting me get eaten by whatever is a threat in 2014." she added, smiling at her stupid attemp for a joke. "If you need me.... I'll be at some random tree in the forest."
Starting towards the door, Andi suddenly turned around. "Before I forget Oracle, why are you here on Earth? Assuming a human life none the less?" she questioned the girl, quite curious. Her hand rested on the doorknob as she waited for an answer. This girl didnt seem happy here. Maybe if Andi could work the TARDIS she could take her somewhere else.

“Not a problem happy to help.” Oracle half saluted when Andi thanked her “Random tree, heh right.”
She watched as Andi turned around and asked her a question with caused Oracle to shrug some “Umm...it’s the only home I really ever knew. So when my vortex manipulator gave up the ghost it seemed as good a place as any. Lucky for me I was planet side when it did go. For the most part the people are nice.” she stopped herself before she started to ramble.

Andi nodded taking it all in. "What caused you to flee with a vortex manipulator?" she asked, opening the door and feeling the fresh air. The light wind blew her new blonde hair. Frowning, she tucked it behind her ear, wanting it to go away. Remembering Oracle she turned back to her.
Again the idea of taking Oracle away entered her mind, but she had to first find the TARDIS. Then came the whole process of seeing if it would even work for her.

Oracle looked at Andi gauging what to say “Let’s just say, humans are a good species in a whole some of the one I’ve met are real good people, but when most find out you’re not one of them they get scared and people are dangerous when they’re scared...” She had met some good people on Earth some really good people but after a while she figured it’d be better for all if she kept her distance.
She smiled changing the subject slightly “If you need any help, you know where I am.”

Andi nodded. "I hope to see you soon too...." she minutes as she smiled slightly at Oracle. She stepped through the door outside and closed the door behind her. She breathed in the fresh air, and noticed how it wasn't so fresh compared to Gallifrey.
Her eyes scanned the forest and she sighed out in annoyance. All the trees looked alike, too alike. She didn't know where she parked exactly, since she was slightly unconscience. Looking over the forest, she decided the only way was to comb through the forest until she could find it, if it was still there. Starting towards the nearest tree, she knocked on it, unsure how to really tell. No such luck.
Walking further into the forest she knew that when she walked out, she had been surround by multiple trees, so she was deep in the forest. She walked around, staring at them all. Suddenly she stopped, feeling this pull. A slight hum that only she could hear was near. She knew the TARDIS was around.

Oracle smiled as Andi left, then went over to a table and pulled out some electronic parts from a hidden drawer underneath, scattering them on the table before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a beat up mp3 player held together mostly by duct tape. Oracle pulled a chair up to the table and sat down, reaching over and pulling her messenger bag and pulled some goggles out of the bag before putting the ear buds in her ears and turning some music on. A mix of techno and classical could be heard coming from them as she worked on the manipulator some she knew she’d probably never get it working but she was gonna try anyway.

Closing her eyes, Andi listened to the humming and felt the tug of the TARDIS. Moving silently through the trees so as not to disturb the pull. Suddenly the pull intensified emensely as she snapped her eyes open. This was it. Reaching tentivly out, she layed her hand against a tree. Just by feeling she knew that this was the TARDIS. Now the problem of getting in.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Nothing. Sighing she stepped back and stared at the fake tree, pondering. How could she even get in a TARDIS that wasn't hers? Could it be as simple as just opening the door? Snorting out loud in dry humor, she felt stupid. What door was there on a tree? She felt dumb even thinking it.
Getting closer again she pressed her hand on the tree and ran it all along the tree trying to find a crack, a knob, a turn anything to open it. If she ever got inside she would have to remind herself to turn off the camouflage of the TARDIS. Growling in frustration she kicked the bottom of the tree and dug her nails into the side.
Luck seemed on her side since at that moment she dug her nails into the tree, a small click was heard. Slowly the tree swung open. Her hearts leapt through her throat. "Yes!" she cried out, her voice ringing through the forest as she pumped her arms in ecstatic joy.

Oracle touched two wires together, and a giant boom knocked the door off the hinges of her little house followed by a small emp surge large enough to take out the lights in the house.
Smoked poured out of the hole that once housed the door, Oracle stumbled out coughing and waving a hand in front of her face, “Don’t cross the blue wires.” she joked weakly to herself. She’d absorbed most of the surge which is why it knocked only the stuff in the house, only problem was it also knocked out the electricity she naturally built up in her body, leaving her weak and slightly disorientated.
Sitting down on the step she fell backwards on the door staring up through the trees at the stars waiting for the world to stop spinning.

Andi shut her mouth quick when she heard the explosion. Turning and looking towards the area where th house was she wondered what had happened. With a quick look at the TARDIS she held up her hands towards it. "Stay... Open" Then she was off, running back towards the explosion.
Getting to the edge of the forest she scanned the area til she saw the light trail of smoke. Walking over she saw Oracle sitting outside. "A cooking accident?". Her eyes trailed over to the doorless archway. Oracle didn't look hurt, just slightly annoyed Andi observed.
Putting one hand on her hip, Andi waited. At that moment she noticed how tired Oracle looked. What exactly had happened here?

Oracle held her hand up pointing at the sky, not really a reason behind doing it, for a second trying to figure out what to say “Yes...No.” she lowered her arm and set up blinking one eye at a time “Apparently there was still a bit of kick in that manipulator.”
She went to stand up and stumbled, she stopped going back to her sitting position “...nope not quiet yet.” she reached up and pinched the bridge of her nose as the voices in her head chattered at her at an almost deafening volume in her head.

Andi remained silent for a few moments. Silently she took steps until she was next to Oracle. "Hey... You okay?" she asked her, slightly concerned for her. Oracle seemed sick and hurt to Andi.
Taking notice of the slight crease on Oracle's forehead, she wondered what she was thinking. Maybe... Andi's mind went to the TARDIS. Maybe she could take her somewhere... She would have to see if the TARDIS even worked first. If it did she could maybe take Oracle.

Oracle looked up when Andi asked her if she was ok “huh...ya, I am or I will be” Oracle held up her hand slightly trying to get some spark going, nothing she sighed and said softly “Heh nothing like Emp to screw stuff up.”
She moved to stand up, dusting her hands off on her pants, still a little unsteady on her feet but better “Don’t worry I bounce back quickly” she hoped she’d never been hit directly from one but she had been around when one went off. “I take it you found your TARDIS then.”
