Just A Girl by Reuben Nyssa walked calmly and confidently over to her room and opened the door. She shut it quietly behind her. Once inside, she immediately lost her confident look and she sat down so quickly on the bed, it appeared as if her legs had gone out from under her. Adric's off the cuff remark had bothered her. "Just a girl." Indeed. Nyssa considered herself a well educated pretty young woman. She was fairly sure the Doctor and Tegan thought of her in this way, but Adric. He was just a boy himself. Why should he think of her as a girl. She was older and more mature than him, and certainly had far more tact. She looked down at her self and slowly ran one finger down from the edge of her collar bone down to the center of her ribcage, directly between her breasts, pushing the material flat against her skin as she did so. "Well", she thought,"I certainly am not a girl in any aspect, even Adric should be able to see that." As her finger moved slowly across the crisp material of her dress to the swell of her left breast an idea started to form in Nyssa's mind. As was freqently the case Adric was having trouble sleeping. The Doctor and Adric had been discussing the effect that entry and exit from the vortex had on the relative wavelength of light, and not unusually Adric found himself out of his league. Adric sometimes got the feeling the Doctor treated him as one would a small child who can't grasp adult concepts. Adric hated it when he got those feelings. That was what usually kept him up at night, and what usually drove him to the TARDIS data library at ungodly hours of the morning. The TARDIS data library was a gigantic room filled with bookshelves, file cabinets, data access terminals, and various other equipment. Adric entered the poorly lit room and walked over to one of the data access terminals. Adric often wondered why the Doctor insisted on catelogueing everything on the dusty old text based systems when he has so many superior graphical and holgrapic based systems available to him. All the Doctor ever used those systems for was taping into the local planetary networks. Adric plopped down in front of the IBM 3151 and fliped the switch on. He performed a search for Lundebrek, the Earth scientist the Doctor had cited as being a pioneer in the field. To his dismay Adric discovered that all of Dr. Lundebrek's papers were contained on microfiche. He printed out a listing of the appropriate catelogue numbers and walked over to an even dimmer corner of the room where the microfiche player was housed. He pulled the correct material out of the file cabinet and fed it into the player. A few minutes later Adric heard the old wooden doors open and close. He thought this was a bit odd, as he was the only one who usually came into the data library. He turned off the microfiche player and remained quiet, curious to see who had entered the room. Nyssa sat down at one of the older holgraphic machines and put the holographic helmet over her head. She started accessing the Earth plantary net knowen as the Internet. In no time she was enjoying going through picture archieves of an interesting charecter know as Paul McGann. She found her favorite section and sighed. Adric watched with rapt interest. The holgraphic helmet she was wearing, he knew, completly impaired her vision to anything outside of the data nets. She was wearing a very skimpy nightgown, very unlike her usual high collored outfits. Adric noticed for the first time that she actually had a very shapely figure. He was usually too busy trying to one up her intellegence that he had never really noticed her as a woman before. Nyssa pressed both her hands tightly to her stomach. She spread her fingers wide and pulled the material of her nightgown up slighly under the pressure. She moved her hands closer together and then moved them up her torso to her breasts. She felt he firmness of her sensative nipples through her thin nightgown. Slowly she turned them between her thumb and forefinger, feeling the tingeling sensation inside of her growing as she invisioned strong hands touching her in the same way. Adric squirmed uncomforably in his chair. He didn't want to make any sound to alert Nyssa to his presence, but his legs were getting uncomfortable and he needed to stretch. He was also mildly uncomfortable witnessing this. He was enjoying it but it seemed very wrong to be invading her privacy this way. As he watched Nyssa gave out a low moan and spread her legs out wide. She hiked the nightgown up to her midsection, giving Ardic a clear view of her Traken glory. All thoughts of trying to sneak out abrubtly left Adric's mind. Nyssa tentatively brushed her fingers across the top of her pubic mound. The dark hair was moist and tangled. She slowly ran one finger down from the top of her mound across her slit. She moaned appreciatively. In sharp contrast to her earlier slower action she quickly thrust one finger deep into her womanhood. Her entire body shuddered in response. She began to satisfy herslef with the solitary finger, while at the same time moving her thumb further up to the top of her opening, where she located her small sensative nub. She began flicking her thumb from side to side becoming further and further engrossed in her own actions. She ceased paying any attention at all to the images flickering in her helmet and closed her eyes. Before long her entire body convulsed tightly around her finger and she felt her thighs becoming wet with her own juices. After a moment or two, she extracted her finger and stuck it up to her mouth, savoring her own flavor. She opened her eyes and the images on the helmet came into focus again, but they no longer held any interest to her. She pushed the nightgown back down from her stomach, and severed the connection to the Earth network. She lifted the helmet off her head and put it back in it's cradle. Standing up she, straightend her hair and examined the front of her nightgown. There was a slight dampness around her crotch, but at this hour she felt sure she could make it back to her room without encountering anyone. Adric moved only once she had left. He felt enormously relieved she hadn't noticed him. He would have hated dealing with her if she had discovered him watching. Women were such illogical creatures at the best of times, he shuddered when he thought of how she would have reacted if she would have caught him here. The next day Adric, eagar to show of his new knowledge of Dr. Lundebrek's work brought up the subject of how the TARDIS would appear to an outsider when it was dematerializing. He described his theory of how light would bend around the center of the area where the TARDIS was to appear, looking as if someone was pushing through reality, and then snap radily back into normality as the TARDIS appeared. The Doctor dismissed this thory with the wave of a hand. "I said Dr. Lundebrek was a pioneer in his field, I didn't say that his theories were totally correct." Nyssa entered the room and addressed Adric, "If you really wanted to see what the TARDIS was like when it appeared, why didn't you just examine the scanner recordings of the Master's TARDIS materializing. The TARDIS has certainly been near enough when that has happened." Adric threw up his hands in disgust. "Nyssa you don't understand. That would take all the challenge out of it. Women just don't understand the whole point is the challenge." Nyssa's eybrow raised a bit at that comment. "I thought you said I was a girl, Adric.", she said. Adric looked at her and she gave him a knowing wink. Adric felt weak and quickly left the console room. The Doctor looked at Nyssa. "I wonder what got into him?", he enquired. "Ohh, you know how young boys are Doctor." Nyssa replied. The Doctor looked at Nyssa for a long moment, and then returned his attention to the control panel.
