"Fantastic!"
The Doctor grabbed for Lucy's hand and lead her, laughing, to where she last parked the TARDIS. "That's her," she announced, pointing, and unlocked the door for Lucy to enter and inspect the interior. "The TARDIS."
Lucy should be used to bigger-on-the-inside things.

"She's... science," the Doctor explained somewhat hesitantly. "Very beautiful, delicately balanced science. But she could make the transition to a magical world without.. damage."

"There's everywhere else," she assured Lucy. "Anywhere in the universe, if this doesn't work." She stood up and made a few adjustments to the bewildering array of knobs and buttons and thingamajigs on the console. "I don't have any co-ordinates," she thought aloud. "Might be a way around that. I don't recognise the planet, but the TARDIS might." What could she do? She tapped her fingers as she considered it. "Do you still have access to that Wardrobe you found? I could take the TARDIS to that, should still be some residual energy, some sort of link to Narnia."

"The wardrobe is somewhere in England," Lucy said with a sigh. "Professor Kirke has it, and I don't have his address anymore, Peter was going to mail me a letter from there so I'd know where to write. So I'm afraid I don't right now..."

The Doctor's enthusiasm deflated somewhat, but she wasn't the type to give up easily. "Did his house have a name? Was it near any cities or anything with a name you remember?"

"...it's a small cottage with one spare room." Lucy said with a sigh. "Peter had to get off at the Redbridge railway station in Southampton but if I wait a few weeks, I'll have an address for sure."

She deflated fully. She didn't have another idea to get there now. But, then again... "We have time," she decided. "Narnia can wait until we have the address." She immediately began running through the list of planets she knew that could interest her companion. "There's a planet in a galaxy just a bit off from your own. The majority of their light comes from their three moons, makes everything silvery and bright. And there's not much gravity, imagine the games of hopscotch you could have on it." She watched for Lucy's reaction. "Or we could pick another planet."

"...oh that sounds beautiful," Lucy decided at once. "I haven't played hopscotch since I was... oh, six or seven. There must be so many worlds, though, how could you ever pick just one?"

"I used to have a randomiser installed into the TARDIS. Mostly it was to avoid someone who didn't like me much and could have tracked me, but it made picking planets easier." In the sense that she didn't have to pick planets then. "Mostly, whichever planet catches my fancy at the moment is the one I go with."

She set the co-ordinates with care, not wanting to end up anyplace else. "The ride can be a bit bumpy, I'd hold onto something if I were you."
