This had been confusing. Unsettling. Would be unsettling. Is unsettling? "Oh, tenses," the woman muttered. "They are confusing, aren't they?" The accent on her words turned them into light, dancing things.

It was difficult to see. An eleventh dimension matrix had no business seeing things in only three dimensions. She tried to see everything around her and ended up spinning in a circle, tendrils of golden energy trailing from her face and hands. "Bother," she muttered after stumbling and catching herself inexpertly against a wall. "I should very much like to be when this was."

The blue wall under her hand caught her full attention, and she stared at it with something akin to wonder. The woman backed up a few steps, and looked at the blue box. Then she looked down at herself. Her eyes widened in surprise, then shock. She lifted her hands to her face in amazement.

Which quickly turned to panic. She strode forward and began to slap at the walls of the blue box. "Thief!" she called. "Thief! Where's my thief?!"

Amy had just gotten dressed and was still towel-drying her wet hair when she heard someone pounding at the walls. Thinking at first that it was just the Doctor, Donna, or one of the other current residents of the TARDIS, she opened the door and cried, "Gimme a minute, yeah? I'm almost done!"

But the hallway was empty, and the noise was even louder out here. As Amy made her way towards the control room it got louder and louder until she realized it must be coming from outside. Amy swung open the door, shivered a bit as the cold freaky-winter chill hit her still damp hair, and yelled "OI! Quit yer bangin'! People live in here, yanno!"

	She immediately turned to the door when it opened. "Orangy girl!" She marched right up to Amy, looking directly past her and into the console room. "That's me, there! Why am I in here? What has my thief done? Thief!" She nearly shrieked the word into the open doorway. "Thief, what have you done!?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Orangy... what?" This woman was babbling nonsense about some thief or another. Is she a tramp or something? Amy thought. When the mad woman raised her voice Amy tried grabbing her shoulder to quiet her. The TARDIS wasn't parked in the middle of Times Square or anything, but it was by no means a deserted street. People passing by were beginning to give the pair of them strange looks. "Hey, calm down now. Look, nobody's stolen anything, okay?" She reiterated her point for the benefit of the people gawking. "I repeat, nothing's been stolen, so we can all go on with our lives now!"

Amy pulled the strange woman out of the TARDIS entrance and closed the door behind her. She put on her best defensive stance as she stood between the woman and the TARDIS, arms crossed and face serious. "Alright then, who are you and what are you on about?"

She focused a bit more on the orangey girl. "Ginger, he calls it. Ginger, but still orange. Jealous, you know." She giggled a bit. "Never gets to be ginger himself, my thief."

She tilted her head oddly, like the motion of a bird. "You don't recognize me? I'm right there!" She pointed again at the police box doors. I'mmmmmm....." Her face flickered into abrupt confusion, frustration. "Oh, what does he call me? You should know, he's always picking up strays. We travel. I go" Her lips parted, but the sound of the Tardis engines came through her lips instead of any kind of speech.

	Amy was taken aback by the sound coming out of this woman's lips. At first she thought the TARDIS was taking off without her, but one glance over her shoulder assured her that it was staying put. Amy looked back at the woman, more confused than ever. "Are you tryin' to tell me, that you're the TARDIS?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space. Yes, that's me. Model Type 40 TARDIS. I want to see the universe, so I steal a Time Lord, and all those years, he still believes he will only borrow me." The mad woman touched her fingers to her lips, and her eyes glowed faintly, but strikingly, with the golden energy of the TARDIS matrix. "Silly of him, my Doctor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"But," Amy protested, still not understanding, "you're a woman." Then a thought occured to her. "Did he wish really hard?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[haha! that episode had some great lines]

That quick, birdlike tilt of her head returned. "Did he? I suppose it's possible. But the Time Lords discovered that if you pull an eleventh dimension matrix into a frame too small to contain it, it would punch a hole in the universe, and trying to destroy one outright would cause a singularity to erase the attempt and attemptor from history, resulting in a type four paradox that the existing matrix would settle with absolute prejudice. But humans are so much.... bigger on the inside. Still, I won't suppose it shall last. I'll never be designed to exist in a flesh body."

Amy listened as the (woman? TARDIS?) TARDIS-woman rattled off a string of technical-sounding words at a pace only the Doctor could keep up with. "...Right," she replied, not sure what else she could possibly say. "So, if I'm understandin' you correctly, you're the TARDIS," she gestured to the blue box behind her, "inside the body of a woman. Except that's not supposed to happen 'cause TARDISes are big an' complicated."

	"Isn't that what I've been telling you? Told you? Will tell you? Oh, bugger. Tenses again." She looked at Amy again, up and down, then back into her eyes. "Aren't all women complicated?" Then her head tilted slightly. "Because he stole me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's what my husband would say," she replied. The Doctor too, probably, though with all the women he seems to surround himself with, you'd think he'd get a handle on them somewhat.

"I still don't understand, though. Why are you here?" Amy stopped and remembered what ~~the TARDIS~~ she just said. "Hang on, did you just answer my question before I asked it? That's a mad trick."

"Eleventh dimension matrix. I see the whole of time and space as one, and it's mad, just... just mad to see in only three dimensions at once. How is it you function?"

The TARDIS nodded, her eyes going out of focus as she watched the tendrils of time. "Absolutely. A possible future. Normally I can see them all, every thread, every shape, every branch of choice as they go farther off into--" She suddenly giggled. "Goodness, I might have looked like that!" Then she looked down at her dress, her hands, and touched the hands to her face, feeling it along the bones eyes and cheeks. "Oh, I suppose I do."

She shifted her head back to Amy. "It's fading. I'm not meant to be in a flesh body. Can't see very far at all."

"Yeah, I'm beginning to see the mad bit." Amy wished she knew where the Doctor was at that moment. He'd know how to deal with Ms. Eleven Dimensions Matrix or whatever. Amy was just confused and more than a little out of her element.

All this talk of fading was beginning to worry her, though. "Can I help? Do you need to, like, lie down or something?" She turned to reopen the TARDIS door but hesitated. "It's not gonna tear a hole in the universe or anything if I bring you inside here, is it?"

	"Not typically. Only the once, but that was to close a crack, not tear it open again. I don't count the others. My thief was doing what he thought was best, the poor idiot, and I simply had to save him from himself." She stepped to the door, ready to enter. "Why would I lie down? Human potential rises exponentially when standing and moving." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"...Yeah," Amy replied, once again lacking anything better to say. "I feel like I ought to apologize for those cracks, like they were partially my fault somehow." She shuddered, remembering the crack in her bedroom wall so many years ago. "Still," she continued, lightening the mood, "I remembered him-- and you-- and brought you both back, right? That ought to make up for something."

Amy sighed as she found herself faced with trying to explain to a time machine the basic needs of human anatomy. Where was Rory when she really needed him?

"That's true, but when a human's not feeling so well, sometimes we need rest. Granted, I don't know if that'll help your problem of fading dimensions or whatever it was. I just thought I'd offer."

"You have my appreciation Orangey Girl. The Doctor had not been so foolish as others when he brought you home. Some strays can be entirely clever and lovable."

Her eyebrows widened as the idea caught hold. "Rest! Rest sounds excellent. I'll just see if there's an off-switch." She turned on a heel, and immediately sagged, body going utterly limp and unconscious... and sound asleep.

"Thanks, uh, I think." Amy wasn't sure whether she ought to thank the TARDIS-woman for calling her a stray, even if she did in effect call her a nice stray. "And you can call me Amy, you know. We humans use names."

Just as Amy was going to ask the TARDIS-woman if she had a name, she said something about an off-switch and started falling. Amy rushed to catch her under the arms, but the weight and momentum were too much, and they both ended up on the floor, Amy pinned underneath.

"Oh...kay, now what?" Amy muttered. She extracted herself from underneath the TARDIS-woman (She needs a name quick, Amy thought) and started half dragging her towards the bedrooms. Lucky for Ms. Tardis that they were in this TARDIS instead of Amy's usual one, as this one had a ramp instead of stairs. Still, it was a bit more than Amy was prepared to handle, and by the time she'd half-dragged, half-carried the woman's limp body to the nearest bedroom (which was very thankfully empty and open) and propped her onto the bed, Amy herself was exhausted to the point of sleep, and dozed off, curled on the floor in front of the bed.
