"Thanks for the help." The Doctor said, giving Shawn and Gus a hug.

"Anytime, Doc." Shawn answered, smirking.

"Doctor. I was a bit mad that you swanned of, but you followed through in the end. And to show our thanks, we're going to show you something really cool."

Once they got to the Psych office, he led them to a large blue box sitting behind a tree about a block away.

The box had doors, a lamp on top, and a sign on it reading,

'Police public call Box'.

The Doctor pulled a key from around his neck and turned the lock in the door.

Swinging the doors open, he gestured inside.

Shawn walked in, immediately stepping back out.

Inside of the not-that-large box was a huge room. In the center of the room was a strange control panel like you might see on Star-Trek. Coral-like beams supported the round ceiling, which, like the walls, was covered in hexagon shaped lights.

He circled around the blue box, looking for any clue to how the giant room could fit inside it.

"It- It's bigger on the inside." Gus said, amazed.

"Really? I hadn't noticed." The Doctor quipped.

"So..." Shawn said, trying to think it through. "If Gus stood behind the box and I ran in, I'd have to go all the way to the end before we'd be close?"

"It makes less sense the more you think about it." Rose said. "Believe me."

Shawn nodded, momentarily pushing the thought from his head and marveling at the strangeness of it.

"Why is it blue and called Police In The Box?" Shawn asked suddenly.

"...Police public call Box." The Doctor corrected. "It's a telephone booth from the 1950's. Camouflage."

"Camouflage? It's blue and weird!"

"Yes, but humans are funny. You stick a weird blue box on a street corner, and they just walk past it." The Doctor pointed out. "It's called the TARDIS. Time and Relative Dimension in Space. It travels anywhere in time and space."

Shawn nodded, finding nothing to say for the first time in his life.

There was a funny silence for a moment.

"We should be off, now." The Doctor said. "Allons-y, Rose Tyler."

"Do you think you'll ever come back?" Shawn asked.

"Maybe." The Doctor answered, but Shawn could tell he was lying. Anywhere in time and space? There was no way he was coming back to Santa Barbara. At least, not in the near future.

Shawn and Gus watched silently as the blue box faded from view, the indescribable sound of its loud engines echoing through time and space as it left.
