I still don’t like this whole… sleeping thing. Is it really necessary? You lose so much time of the day if you sleep it away like that! I would much rather be outside in the snow or be doing just about anything else whatsoever than sleeping.

Especially since I continue to have those annoying dreams that humans have…

( she sounds bitter and annoyed rather than tired )

I’m not entirely certain I like this body anymore.

Of course it necessary. It's how you replenish your energy, though I understand what you mean.

Though I don't really find dreams annoying. I think they're rather nice. Well, unless it's a bad one. They're not so great. Have you been having bad dreams lately?

Been having? Been having? That's all I have! You mean you don't? Excellent, tell me your secret! I should like them to stop.

I love sleeping, waking up to a new day with all sorts of adventures waiting to happen!

...Well, at home, here waking up is much less fun.

Why sleep? Adventures can happen in the evening and during the night too, you know! Possibly the grander ones.

Waking up here is fantastic. It's the going to sleep part that's uncomfortable.

But I'm twelve, I'm suppose to have a bedtime. It's what human children have.

I think my adventures at home are pretty grand, I don't need grander ones.

Do they? Well that's interesting. I suppose if you're meant to have one then you should have one. But I'm not familiar with what's typical for human children, having never been one myself.

Its what I've been told, children have a bedtime. Sarah Jane and the others were pretty clear that it was normal.

Is that because you were never a child, never human, or both?

Sarah Jane? Sarah Jane Smith?

I suppose both, really. I was a seedling, at one point, does that make me have been a child at some point? I hardly think it's the same thing, though.

That's my mum! You know her too?

I think that's more like a baby than a child, which isn't the same thing at all.

Mum? Mother? Sarah Jane Smith is your mother? No, that can't be right. When she and her child were with the Doctor and the others inside of me, she had a little boy. So, her child is male. Male and not a girl at all.

Unless!
Did you change bodies as well, Luke?

Yes, that would be more like an infant than a child. I suppose I skipped over childhood and went right into adulthood.

I'm not Luke, he's much taller than I am. I'm Sky. Sarah Jane was only given me fairly recently.

Is skipping childhood a good thing?

...Wait, why are you talking as if you're the Doctor's TARDIS?

Sky? Sky? Like the atmosphere? Well, atmosphere works well enough to describe it, anyway. There isn't much else to call the sky apart from the sky, after all. Sky. Interesting name. Are you indigo colored? You should be indigo in order to match your namesake, I think.

It could be. I seem to be rather spectacular, after all, and I skipped mine.

Silly child. I'm talking as thought I'm the TARDIS because I am the TARDIS. That's my name. Well, one of them. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. That's me.

No, I'm Red 217, Greeen 175, Blue 164... but it varies depending on lighting and other hard to account for factors. I like the color I am, I think its very pretty, sorry I'm not indigo.

Really!? It's nice to meet you. Is it complicated navigating the temporal vortex while holding a conversation?

Well... I suppose that will suffice. Although you should look into becoming indigo at least once. It could be interesting!

Ah! It's lovely to meet you too, little miss Sky Smith! It's certainly draining when it comes to my power supplies, or rather, health consuming I should say. ( her voice gets small for just a moment ) Sometimes it burns... Talking is fun, though. I've never gotten to talk like this before, well, that's not entirely true. I did before this body died the last time I was within it. Which makes it interesting that I'm within it again anyway. But that's a whole other complicated mess and story that I'm not entirely certain where to begin on how to explain.

Unfortunately, I can't keep up with it anymore. I see things, I know things... But it's slower than I'm used to and it hurts from time to time... But I can't see as much as I used to. It causes me to feel... What is that emotion called... The one that causes your chest to tighten, heart rate to increase and breathing rate to increase?

( after a minute of thinking ) Ah, that's right...

Fear.

Edited 2011-12-20 03:44 (UTC)

It could... but I don't think that's something I can actually do, sorry!

That does sound complicated... I didn't think a time machine could be put into a human body. *She also didn't think it was, she thought she was just talking to the TARDIS.* This world is amazing.

That's terrible, especially feeling fear. I- I don't really like fear, I like the other things I experience a lot better.

Oh that's alright. We'll find a way.

My, shall we say consciousness, should not be placed into the body of a human being. It burns up the body too quickly. Human flesh does not really... Sustain something like myself very well. Which is why I'm surprised I have not died already again.

Fear is complicated. Thrilling and undesired all at once. But I agree with you. I like the other things I have felt much better than fear. Well, apart from these nightmare things. They're dreadful, I highly suggest you avoid them if you can.

It's necessary.

It shouldn't be. I hate it.

[]

You still need it.

I wouldn't if I were my real self. I'm not entirely certain I like being a human this go around. It would be much nicer to be a box right about now. Boxes don't have nightmares.

...Boxes?

Do you not know what a box is? Oh dear, let me think back to when I had the programs necessary —

( she takes a moment and then speaks as though she's reading something )

Box, noun — a container, case, or receptacle, usually rectangular, of wood, metal, cardboard, etc., and often with a lid or removable cover.

Does that clear it up for you?

I know what boxes are.

Well of course you do. I just defined it for you.

[]

I wasn't asking what boxes are.

( audio )

Are you quite certain? You did say the word "boxes" with a general tone of inquiry which leads me to believe you were questioning boxes.

I was asking why anyone would want to be a box.

Because that is what my thief chose as my design when my chameleon circuit broke. I've gotten rather used to being a police call box over the past eight hundred years or so.

You aren't human.

[It's less of a question then it is a sort of equivalent of 'I should have guessed'.]

Well of course I'm not. Who would want this silly, fragile, flesh body?

The people who were born to it.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

Oh?

Chronic nightmares are a sign of something gone wrong, and since they're spread out...

No, it's not your body, dear. But something is causing this.

Whatever it is, I don't like it. I don't like needing to sleep, either. It's times like these that I would much rather be a large, blue box again.

You can always wake me up if they're troubling you. I'm right there.

Nonsense, if you're sleeping I should allow you to sleep. I don't believe you get much of that otherwise. Or rather, you never much used to when you were living inside of me.
