"Fine, let's go." the Doctor agreed. Susan was stunned by his sudden change of mind, the Doctor was normally quite stubborn.

Lucas followed the Doctor and Susan back to the TARDIS. Pit was unconscious at this point, having been unable to keep fighting for his consciousness.
The Doctor took Pit to the medical room and began to fix up his side. When he had finished, he, with the help of Susan, moved Pit to a bed for him to rest. "Okay, now we need to stop the matrix from being finished." the Doctor said. They had left Robin Hood at the castle, with the instruction to help free the servants labouring away in the workroom. Susan had ordered Lucas to stay in the TARDIS, and about an hour later the two returned, tired but in good spirits.
"Did it work?" Lucas asked hopefully. "Pit hasn't woken up yet. Is that bad? I checked and he doesn't seem to be unstable, but I'm not really a doctor…"
(I gtg to bed now. Byeee)
(Byeeee) "He's just tired. We stopped it from exploding. The ship took off, but thanks to an extra boost of gold from that arrow it escaped from the atmosphere and exploded in space." the Doctor said.
"That's good… are we going anywhere else, or is this the end of the road for us?" Lucas fidgeted with his hands. He'd have really liked to learn how to control his powers before parting with them.
"Well, do you want to leave? I mean, I was just about to give you this," he said, holding up a small but ornate key decorated with beautiful and elegant circular patterns like the complex cogs of a clock. "Key to the TARIDS. Frequent fliers privilege, but you don't have to have it if you'd rather not come with us." the Doctor said.
"Oh, no! I don't want to leave, I-I was just wondering whether… well, whether you wanted me to stay…" Lucas looked away awkwardly. "I mean, I can't say I've been particularly useful…"
"If you don't want to leave, then stay." the Doctor said, holding out the key.
Lucas hesitated before accepting the key, examining the intricate details curiously. It was a bit surreal, really, that he'd actually be allowed to come back.
"Susan, why don't you show Lucas around? This is a pretty big place, and I have some things to do, just a bit of TARDIS maintenance and so on." he said.
Show me around? How much bigger can this place even get? Lucas looked up, still holding tightly to the key as though it might slip away at any moment.
"Right, come on Lucas!" Susan said, walking down a corridor and waving for him to follow.
"Er… alright." Lucas trotted after Susan to keep up, looking around as he did so.
Susan walked down a hallway with several interesting doors, most of them she skipped over. She came up to a glass door and opened it, walking inside. "This is the swimming pool. There's also a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and spa. We have no idea why this room exists, it just does." she said.
"…You have a hot tub? I don't know what I was expecting to find here, but it probably wasn't that." Lucas laughed, tucking the key in his pocket as he looked into the room.
"Yes, but let's move on." Susan told him, exiting the room and leading him to the kitchen. The kitchen, like every other room the TARDIS held, was designed to be unique. It was basically like a 1950s ice cream shop, with black and white checkered tile and a counter with bright red stools lining the side. Behind the counter was a fridge, along with cabinets and shelves stocked with snacks and a stovetop, oven, and microwave, along with many other cooking gizmos all around the area. On the wall was a bright orange clock with gold numbers. It was a very cheerful room. "This is the kitchen, it's one of my favorite rooms to be honest." she said.
"Wow… how many rooms are in this thing? I mean, how could it all fit in an old telephone booth? Obviously it's not possible by any ordinary laws of physics or anything, but I doubt the Doctor cares much about laws like that."
"Actually, there is science behind it. As for how many rooms there are, not even I know that. Hundreds, certainly."
"But how does it all fit in this little telephone booth? It shouldn't be possible at all." Lucas fidgeted with the key.
"It's basically like another dimension." she said. "Well, that's the best explanation I can give. It's difficult to explain."
"So the Doctor has somehow managed to contain his own personal dimension within some small, old object that was originally designed to hold only one person?"
"Well, it's not supposed to look like this, it was a disguise to blend in, be inconspicuous. But the chameleon circuit broke and it got stuck like this. Mind you, the Doctor could fix it whenever he wants, but though he won't admit it he likes it in the shape of a big blue wooden police box."
"Hmm…" Lucas was quiet for a moment, looking around the interior of the TARDIS. "What became of Robin Hood, if you don't mind my asking?"
"He's fine, back to robbing the rich to give to the poor." she gave a light chuckle.
