Second Chances-Part II
A/N: Just FYI, this after Amy, but before Clara. I can wish upon a star as long as I want, but will-sadly-never own anything but my OCs *tear*
The doctor held on to the T.A.R.D.I.S.'s console as she flipped and spun wildly. Sparks flew from everywhere, and the lights were starting to flicker on and off, at random intervals. Sudden the spinning stopped. The lights flicker once, twice more then went off and didn't come back on, almost always a bad sign. Everything was still, so still. It was too quiet for The Doctor.
"Well, what did you do that for?" he asked out loud. In frustration The Doctor kicked the bottom of the console, and instantly regretted it. He hissed in pain and rubbed his toe.
Now that most of The Doctor's anger was gone he was mostly curious. He opened the door to find a woman of about thirty or so in her staring at him in shock.
"Oh, hello," he said with a friendly smile. "I'm The Doctor."

Tahiri stared at the man. The Doctor? Doctor who?
"The Doctor? Doctor who? Who are you? Why are you here? How are you here?" She rattled question after question before he could answer any of them. Finally she ran out of breath. The Doctor spoke before Tahiri could stop him.
"Yes, I am The Doctor, and this is the T.A.R.D.I.S." he stated animatedly, gesturing behind him to the big blue box.
"What is a T.A.R.D.I.S.?" asked Tahiri.
"Oh, yes, right. T.A.R.D.I.S., Time And Relative Dimensions
In Space."
"Excuse me?"
"It's a time machine." The Doctor stated as though it should be obvious.
"Oh, wait, hold on!" he yelled causing Tahiri to flinch. The Doctor zipped back inside his T.A.R.D.I.S., and rematerialized a moment later with a bright red fez sitting on his head.
Oh great, I get out of prison only to find one of the biggest nut-job in the galaxy, second only to Jacen Solo.
"Look, I'm not sure what your high on, but I think you should get to a med center to get it cleared out of your system. Clearly you're not thinking straight." Tahiri stated, pushing her visitor back inside his blue box-T.A.R.D.I.S.-whatever.
"Wait, the T.A.R.D.I.S. needs a twenty-four hour cool-down, before I can go anywhere." Tahiri groaned, throwing her hands above her head in exasperation. This man just could not take a hint.
"So Miss…-"
"Veila, Tahiri Veila."
"So Miss Veila, what exactly are you doing up here in a tiny hole like this?"
"Running." She stated emphatically.
"Well, why don't you show me around town? After the T.A.R.D.I.S. cools down, I'll take you anywhere in space and time you want to go."
Tahiri froze at the offer. Half of her brain knew The Doctor was just some lunatic, but the other half thought of the only boy she'd ever loved. Anakin. She realized The Doctor was talking to her, staring down at her with concern in his dark eyes.
"I'm fine." Then for the first time in a long time, she smiled, a true, genuine grin.
"Let's go see Coruscant."
