The Doctor made his way to class. He was still working out the kinks on the next MAC upgrade. It was supposed to have the ability to momentarily make walls appear and disappear. Also it had the ability to push people back with sound waves alone, of course the Doctor hadn't been able to integrate that technology.
He managed to get it to take walls down from existence, but then the walls would randomly appear later on without command. And everytime he tried to use the sonic blast, he'd get repelled from the device. He attempted it one more time but ended up flying 20 feet up to hit the ceiling and fall down on his stomach.
"Oh.... that hurt..." The Doctor got back up and made it to his desk where he laid back in his chair. "Ahhhh this thing is comfortable.... I could just sleep all day in this thing..."
The Doctor patiently waited for his students to show up.

Slowly Michelle made her way to her first class, History. One which could interest her, but not always. It really depended on the time period they were studying. Being a new student one could never know what sort of curriculum they might have. She hoped for some hands one learning, or some stuff on Beethoven on of her favorite musicians.
However Michelle couldn't expect to learn about him here. She walked inside the class room. Now quite dizzy, all she could hope was to make it through class without falling unconscious to the floor. How weird would that look? Especially for her first impression.
She noticed the teacher sitting at his desk so she decided to set her things down at the furthest left desk in the front row and make her way up to him. Michelle enjoyed meeting new people and was looking forward to being here. "Hello sir, my name is Michelle Bashere, sorry for not coming to your other classes. I'm afraid I am new." She smiled warmly hoping he would understand.

"Oh, brilliant!" The Doctor said trying not to move, he had hurt his back a bit from his stunt and decided it best to just play it off like he was lazy. He twiddled his thumbs and finally spoke up, "Well Michelle, heh, that rhymed. Anyway, I'm the Doctor, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The Doctor was always glad to see a new face, he pulled out his sonic screwdriver and attempted a scan from where he was, the girl was a little weak looking. But the Doctor decided not to make a fuss of it. He decided to show her something to catch her up.
"Well... to bring you up to speed," The Doctor began, pulling out his first invention, the Mac/Sonic Screwdriver combination the Doctor decided to call the Sonic Mac version 1.0, "I'm a time-traveller."
He pushed the button on the Sonic Mac that brought the TARDIS to the Doctor, it roared into existence fading in to the right of his chair, "And this is my time machine."

"So you are a time traveler huh?" Michelle sighed in relief as he said that. For a moment and just a moment she thought she was going crazy. Or at least starting to hallucinate. Which was the first step toward crashing onto the floor.
She was after all still trying to avoid that. "So wait...if you're a time traveler teaching history..." It took a moment to click in her mind. "We go back in time for our lessons?" She said quite surprised.
So it would be hands on learning after all. Such an interesting kind too. Back in time, she could hardly fathom.

Jeremy stood outside the door, a little irritated.
There was a girl who was continuing to talk even though he had said "excuse me" twice. He sighed. Putting his MAC into his pocket, he reached down, placing his hands on her waist, and lifted, picking up her frail frame as though it was nothing, and set her down to the side. He didnt mean it to show off, he just wanted her to move. He ducked a little, entered, and gave a little nod to the Doc. Jeremy hadnt been very active in the last class, but then again, there wasnt much for him to do.
He walked over, took his seat, and leaned back a bit, looking up at the cieling and wondering where theyre next adventure would take them. He hadnt really noticed the other girl who had been talking to the doc. It wasnt that he was rude, he just had other things on his mind, and hoped she didnt take offence.

Matt made sure to remember a shirt this time. And pants, and everything else for that matter. He got ready in his dorm room, making sure he had everything before he left. He thought about where they might go this time, if they might go anywhere at all, and who they might see.
By far an interesting class... hands on learning and all, that's how most of the classes have been so far.
He ran down the halls to get to class on time and noticed Jeremiah moving a girl out of the way to get into class. Jeremiah continued into the door as Matt chased his way down the hall to try and get there on time, he slid through the door nearly sitting on the ground he was so close to it, just before the door shut behind Jeremiah. Luckily he hadn't accidentally taken Jeremiah out at the feet or anything.
He got up quickly recovering himself, getting back into his serious look. He took a seat a few desks to the left of the new girl, and sat back relaxing.
"So what we doin today Doc?"

"Back in time... forward in time... sometimes we leave earth altogether. Depends on the circumstances. Today I thought I'd do a little music history. Show you guys what it feels like firsthand to listen to Bach's Toccata and Fugue played in an actual cathedral with a proper pipe organ!"
The Doctor was shooting for something around the 200 ranks range. Something that would give the student's new meaning to good music. The purpose of this lesson of course is to show that something humans make can survive for centuries. Something like Bach's music is what humans used to date in order to read music. Of course the Doctor didn't teach music himself, he could play organ though. It was a good instrument for passionate and genious people to pick up. Gave a large outlet and it did exactly everything you could ever want it to do when it came to the range and the variety of notes played.
Just then Jeremiah came in, and Matrim shortly after, ""So what we doin today Doc?"
"You'll see soon enough Matrim."

Michelle's eyes lit up the moment he said Bach. 'Another one of my favorites. Goodness I will love this class.' She smiled warmly at Doc before nodding her head. "That sounds like a lot of fun sir. I can't wait." She turned on her heels and moved back to her seat.
A trained eye could see her stumble and catch her balance. Those not paying attention wouldn't see it. Soon she made it to her seat and hopped up onto the desk showing a bright smile. Musical History, one of her favorite things in life. Bach certainly wasn't Beethoven, but he would do.

The Doctor saw the girl nearly fall. He paid attention to detail. He learned from it. This was a common human thing, something common mostly in teenage girls. He would approach her about it later, but first he wanted to be sure by studying her more. He got out of his chair, and nearly fell himself, his back was healing up but it still had it's sore qualities.
"Well then, shall we? We're off to the Baroque period. There are clothes from that period in the TARDIS labeled 'Baroque/Classical', please pick something common enough but not loud. We don't want to make a fuss, we just want to be witnesses. Make sure it's church appropriate," The Doctor began, walking to the TARDIS and unlocking the door, opening it for people to walk in. "Go ahead and take a look inside and out Michelle, everybody ends up doing a double take their first time in the TARDIS."
The Doctor waited for the students to get inside, late students had another two or three minutes to make it inside, otherwise it would be just these three students.

Michelle left her desk and walked up, she first inspected the outside. It didn't look like anything special really, but having seen it appear like magic moments ago told her other wise. "So...this will take us all back in time?" She asked still a bit doubtful. It was one thing to appear, slight of hand smoke and mirrors could do the same thing.
It was by far another to transport even so across time. "I mean...don't get me wrong...it appearing and all was cool...but...you must be joking...I mean...I can see it perhaps spinning around and with a slight of hand and a few actors it looks like we are there..." Michelle didn't want to think her a brat, but she hadn't believed in something this farfetched in a long time.
"Just sounds like a Vegas show or something..." She whispered quietly trying not to offend him.

A vegas show. The Doctor had heard many things, but a Vegas show? That was just taking it on a personal level. Of course, the Doctor didn't feel the need to prove it to some kid.
"Well, you can either take a look inside of this thing and see for yourself, or you can doubt everything." The Doctor said with all honesty, she didn't have to go on the trips, and he doubted she'd believe anything he taught unless she saw everything first hand.
"If you require me to prove it, I can do that too... but maybe, just maybe you'll see that I'm not a magician. That I'm a scientest, through and through, if you would just step into this old blue police box I call the TARDIS." Once she saw the inside bigger then the outside, no tricks, no smoke and mirror, maybe she would see that he was a true scientist. Also, if she wanted proof. He'd prove it alright. He'd done it before, he'd do it again.

Michelle frowned as he seemed to take offence. Instantly she regreted her choice of words. It was clear she could have chosen better, but now was not the time to live in the past. For one his insistance told her he wasn't a liar, or so it seemed. Why would he have any need to lie to her? So she would go along with it. It wasn't as though he could make up showing her Bach in person.
She simply needed to see to believe, as soon as she set foot in the TARDIS he pushed her closer to believing. The inside was bigger than the outside. The TARDIS wasn't against a wall or anything, so there was no way for her to explain. She already knew from his tone of voice he wasn't to be considered a amagician. So all that left was genius.
"My god..." She whispered quietly looking around. It was all true, and all real. "I'm so sorry..." Michelle appoligized to him as she kept looking around. Lost in thought as she gazed at everything.

"Well now we have a believer, ok everyone in the TARDIS!" The Doctor said out loud as students walked in. He went to the control panel right away and turned around pointing to the closets, "Get some clothes, Baroque period, specifically 1714 Germany. We're gonna listen to Bach play some Organ!"
The Doctor gave the coordinates to the TARDIS and the door shut. The TARDIS roared to life, the cylinders in the center of the machine began moving up and down, and with a bit of a rocky landing they landed outside of a German cathedral. Inside Bach would be playing Toccata and Fugue. The Doctor didn't change, he never did. No matter what time line he wore the same clothes. In fact that's the way it's always been, people just don't notice his strange clothing because of his attitude about it all.
"ALRIGHT! Everyone, you are not to speak, not a single one of you. Come along, we will sit near the back and we will observe everything. And remember the golden rule!" The Doctor said, referring to nothing in particular but decided on a good rule for them to follow, "When in Rome!"
The Doctor lead them into a cathedral, sitting in the back middle section. He showed his psychic papers to trick people into thinking he was a court composer who was here to show his pupil's the work of Johann Bach himself.
"Yes, I'm actually from Vienna, believe it or not." The Doctor said, he then turned and whispered into Michelle's ears, "Believe it or not, we're speaking different languages, currently German. Neat trick the TARDIS does, as long as I'm awake and about, the TARDIS translates our language to theirs, and theirs to ours."
The Doctor knew someone would eventually ask him why everybody in Germany spoke english so he decided to tell one of the students so she could spread the word. He found a pew towards the back that was quite empty and took his seat allowing students to sit alongside him.
