if you've read my other fanfic "His Name Is Link" well this is how Alice and the Doctor met

"Hey you!!" someone called.

"Who? Me?" the Doctor asked, turning around as a young woman ran up behind him.

"Yeah you!" she replied, stopping next to him "you're not from around here are you?"

"No." the Doctor said, continuing to walk through the streets of the little town he had landed in. It was some planet he hadn't been to before, and felt as if it had been stuck in the Middle Ages for years. She followed. "How'd you notice?" the Doctor asked her.

"You stick out in a sore thumb in clothes like that" she replied "hasn't been anyone around in at least a hundred years wearing something like that."

"Oh." the Doctor said "hang on, a hundred years? Then how would you know?"

"I've got access to the largest library around" she said, quite matter-of-factly.

"Really?"

"Uh-huh"

"What's your name?" the Doctor asked, turning to her

"Alice" she said "and yours?"

"I'm the Doctor"

Alice laughed and nudged him. "No need to sticking to titles! I told you my real name; I think I deserve at least the same from you."

"No seriously, it's just the Doctor."

"Really now?" Alice asked. The Doctor nodded.

"So tell me Alice," the Doctor said after a minute or two "how large is this library"

She only grinned and took the Doctor by the arm and dragged him off.

"Are you sure about this?" The Doctor asked, peeking over the stone wall and looking at the Castle that they were about to sneak into.

"Positive" Alice replied, grinning.

"Yeah, but isn't someone from the Royal Family or something going to notice us and have us thrown out or locked in the dungeons or something?"

"No, it's the guards you have to worry about, and their all lazy, easy to get past as long as you don't run up to them. Besides, you've snuck into worse places haven't you?"

The Doctor looked at her, bewildered "How'd you know that?"

Alice gave him an "are you kidding me?" look and said "it's written all over your face. While you act like you are uneasy and unsure about the whole situation, you actually love the adventure of it all and are excited about the entire situation." She smiled "I'm very good at reading people."

"Well you have me figured out then" the Doctor said "Come on!" and he was up and over the wall before Alice had even registered his response. She followed quickly.

"Where's this library then?" the Doctor asked her once they had reached a nice little quiet spot out of sight of the guards.

"Well if you would let me lead…" Alice began, but he sent a stern glance at her and shut her up. "Left at the first turn, third door on the right" she muttered.

The Doctor peeked around the corner, and as soon as he was clear of the guards he darted to the next safe spot.

"So really Doctor," Alice asked as soon as she had caught up to him "who are you?"

"I thought I already told you" the Doctor said, darting round the corner and into another safe spot.

"You told me your name, not who you are" Alice reminded him.

"Like you've done any better" the Doctor replied "you said that we didn't have to stick to titles, so then how important is yours if you didn't want to tell it to me?" He started to dart to the next safe spot again but Alice caught him the collar of his shirt and pulled him back.

"Guard!" she hissed just as a guard passed by

"How'd you know he was coming?" the Doctor asked

"You couldn't hear him?" Alice asked, slightly shocked.

"I was too busy talking to you" the Doctor responded before darting across the hall again.

"Well aren't we feisty" Alice muttered to herself before following. The Doctor was already opening the door when she came over. He opened it and stepped in.

"Oh this is brilliant!" he said, striding to the center of the large circular room. Alice closed the door and watched him examine the library. He turned in circles upon circles taking the entire thing in.

"How many books do you have in here?" the Doctor asked, not pausing from looking at every detail of the library. It went up several stories, each one just being a little more than a ledge and having more bookshelves lined against the wall. It also had large windows that let in the light. There were books shelves everywhere.

"I don't know. Though we do have every book in Hyrule in here" she replied.

"Hyrule. Is that where we are?"

"How do you not know where we are?" Alice asked

"Traveler, just passing through" the Doctor replied, looking at Alice "Important thing is though, if this library has every book in Hyrule, then why did we have to sneak in? Or is all this knowledge only for the Royal family?"

"Who said we had to sneak in?"

"Then what did we sneak in for?"

"Thought it would be more fun" Alice said, smiling "and if we didn't we'd have to go ask someone and then we'd be escorted here by a guard, and it's impossible to get a good conversation going when you have a guard following you around. Especially when you're trying to find out who some mysterious man you just met is." Her smile grew wider.

"Got a good point there" the Doctor said "but I think there's something else to this, isn't there?" he started walking over to Alice "And you're not telling me."

"Why should I?" Alice asked "like I said, you're some mystery man who showed up here. Do you ever tell complete strangers who you are?"

"No, that's why I haven't told you anything about myself"

"And that's exactly why I haven't done the same."

The Doctor frowned at Alice, and she just smiled her cocky little grin back at him. After a few moments the Doctor burst out into a grin and ran up the nearest flight of stairs to a level of the library above them. "Books!" he yelled "gotta love them!!"

Alice suddenly got a terrible feeling that she had just let loose some strange man who would start acting like a little boy in a weapons shop as soon as he found out how much knowledge this Library held. And was she ever right.
