"I'm feeling alright, are you feeling alright?" she pressed, closing the book in her hand and starting forwards towards the Doctor to see what was going on with him just then. "There was a little...girl, I suppose, but she was just here just a moment ago and you were talking to her and it sounded rather serious. But you seem to have forgotten she was even there..." She blinked wide green eyes up at him her thin eyebrows drawing in in concern about him.

"I feel fine. Are you sure there was a little girl? I think I'd remember talking to a little girl." The Doctor looks at Trixi intently. "Alright tell me about her. What did we say?" The Doctor slides the book he had pulled down back into it's spot on the shelf. "What did she look like? Anything you can tell me will help me."

"Do you honestly not remember?" Trixi pressed, looking horribly confused at him now. How could he forget something so quickly as that. She placed the book in her hand down on the shelf again but didn't put it back in the right spot. "Well it could have been a boy, they were at that age where it's rather hard to tell. I believe you called her Maggie though. Small, blonde, girlish. Said things about promises and saving her and that she couldn't stay..." She trailed off for a moment trying to remember it all. "And then you were talking about being able to speed read as soon as she left like nothing happened..."

"Ok so I have promised a phantom little kid named Maggie that I would save her. Well if you are sure it happened then I better keep good on my promise shouldn't I." The Doctor smiled. "Let's go back to the TARDIS I'll see what it says about the whole situations. I wasn't so smart as to scan her with the screwdriver now was I?" The Doctor shakes his head a bit disappointed in himself and leads the way back to the TARDIS. He stops goes back to the book shelf and returns the book to its proper place before heading off back towards the TARDIS.
"Now, if she can't stay, why? What keeps her from staying here?" The Doctor scratched the back of his head utterly confused. "If only I could remember her, that would help a good deal. What else was said Trixi? If anything else" The Doctor slowed down from his normal pace to look at her.

She nodded and shook her head as needed to answer his questions. She was starting to get that sometimes he just went on without an answer. "You talked like you knew her though, so scanning her seems a little silly....did you scan me?" He's just scanned her for the bug, right?
"She said she tried, but she couldn't only in..." she trailed off for a moment, trying to remember what the girl had said. "She said only in Gallifrey could she stay. That she was sick..."

"No I didn't scan you. I only scan with I need to. For some reason a little girl popping up randomly and disappearing doesn't warrant on my radar of things I need to do." The Doctor sighs. He raises an eye brow when Trixi says that Maggie said she could stay put in Gallifrey. He remembered telling Trixi he was from Gallifrey so maybe she was making it up. The Doctor pushed that thought aside. He'd trust Trixi. He had to just as much as he needed her to trust him.
"Sick hmm. Interesting, very interesting." The Doctor opened the TARDIS door and skipped up the steps to the consul. "Alright dear old friend did you pick up that little girl? Give me anomalies." The Doctor typed away at a screen for a few minutes.
"Ok so there is one tiny little beep there. As if someone used one of watch things the time police get." He turned around to Trixi, "Did she have a watch on? Big leather thing around her wrist." He turned back, "but that doesn't fit with her being sick. What kind of sickness would make someone pop through time? She has to pop through time and space to have been in Gallifrey." The Doctor spun around. "To the library! Suppose it's a good thing we're here. Maybe there is some sickness I haven't heard of," he scoffed." That she has." From the TARDIS the Doctor led the way to the medical history/medical disease section. He started digging through the texts for a clue.

Trixi nodded, accepting that just fine. Though, she supposed him scanning her couldn't be all that bad. It wasn't like he'd stripped her down and probed her or something equally as silly and perverse. "Oh because you know everything?" she asked as she followed after him, watching him type away and not really expecting an answer right then as he was rather absorbed in figuring this girl situation out first.
She followed after him again, pulling a lock of her hair over her shoulder and started twisting it around her fingers as she followed after the Doctor almost blindly. "Isn't Gallifrey where you're from?" she asked after a moment, blinking a bit. "And didn't you say that it was gone...? How can she be there if it's not around anymore?"

"I try to know everything." The Doctor smiled. When she brought up that Gallifrey was gone, he nodded.
"Yeah it's gone. That's the weirdest part. She shouldn't have been able to have been there. Gallifrey is time locked. No one can go there anymore. I can't even get there, past of present."

Trixi blinked rather more confused at that. "Time locked?" she asked with utter confusion on her face, she'd even stopped twisting the lock of hair over her fingers. "So it's not gone...it's just not accessible. Can you get away from Gallifrey if you were there, just not get back? How can you...time lock and entire planet? Better yet, why? Aren't you a lord of time though....." So many questions that popped up then.

The Doctor let Trixi ramble about her questions for a while. With a sigh he replied. "Gallifrey is time locked because of a great war. Between my people and the Daleks. When the war became too much to prevent the destruction of the entire universe throughout all time, Gallifrey had to be time locked. What it means is no one can go there or come from there. It is locked away from even me. That's why my people are extinct." The Doctor didn't mention that it was his fault that Gallifrey was time locked.
