Setting coordinates on the TARDIS was an art. Anyone could call it a science, they could put anything they wanted into books and manuals, but to truly fly a TARDIS properly, one had to have the passion, the muse, the pure fire that came with a love of travel ( Read more... )

All of this was exciting and every once in a while she needed to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Almost every dream she had involved the Doctor and his phone box time machine.

Amy was pulled from her thoughts when she felt herself stumbling around and braced herself against something solid. Her eyes were closed tightly. This was going to take some getting used to; maybe they needed to practice landing the TARDIS?

When they finally landed, she cracked open an eye and looked around. "Am I still alive?"

mr_grumpyface April 28 2010, 02:40:20 UTC

"Nothing broken," the Doctor replied, only half-acknowledging her as he darted around the console, checking on the TARDIS's vitals. "No concussion, no injuries and---ah. The TARDIS appears to have landed us on a waterfall. So..."

He looked back at his companion apologetically.

"Hold on tight."

The turbulence started again as the ship took a plummet down the long drop outside.

She pulled herself away from the wall and looked around. Quickly she looked herself before she looked him over. Amy's eyes widened when he said something about a waterfall. She was about to press herself against a wall again, but she didn't move fast enough.

The sudden motion caused her to fly towards the Doctor and she clung to him.

The Doctor wrapped an arm around Amy and gripped onto the side of the console as the TARDIS shook. He grinned at her, then let out a laugh as the monitor screen flashed with the sign that they'd landed.

"Whoo-hoo!" he cried, gleefully. "Now that is the only way to see an interspacial waterfall."

"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself," she said with slightly annoyance. When she felt it was safe, she pushed herself away from him and straightened herself out.

"Are we safe or should I find somewhere to hide until we are?"

mr_grumpyface April 28 2010, 03:01:07 UTC

"Oh, we're in the Delta Quadrant of Tessy Major," the Doctor said, as if this all made total sense to someone (and to him, it did). "Nowhere is safe."

He ran across the console room towards the door, clearly pleased with himself. "Come on, Pond! Better than a planet, I'll give you a dual-planet system!"

canberewritten April 28 2010, 03:14:45 UTC

"Of course nowhere is safe, but I'd like to know that I'm not going to die from being slammed against the control panel." She had no idea what he was talking about, but she was going along with it.

"Ooooh, a dual-planet system. How exciting!" She hurried to where he was and peeked over his shoulder to look out the door.

mr_grumpyface April 28 2010, 03:22:29 UTC

Outside was a jungle-like world with vast, sparkling oceans and a clear night sky. The Doctor nodded upwards, where their waterfall crashed down behind the TARDIS. It was more than just a waterfall, it was a waterfall that fell from the planet directly above them into the great river the TARDIS now floated on.

"Dual planet system. Symbiotic relationship between the two worlds keeps them moving and rotating around one very large red giant you can't actually see from here but it's about sixty times the size of your sun. Completely wild world. Untamed. Dangerous in all the right ways."

"This is amazing," she said in a hushed voice from over his shoulder. There were places like this on Earth but knowing the whole world was like this was indescribable. Amy stepped out of the TARDIS so that she could get a better look at everything that was around them.

"Will we be able to see the sun at all?" She turned around to get a look at him. There was a smile plastered to her face that went from ear-to-ear. "How wild? Are there any humanoid creatures here?"

mr_grumpyface April 28 2010, 19:31:39 UTC

"We should!" the Doctor said, excitedly. "Five hour days for these worlds. The sun should be coming up within an hour or so."

He pointed up to the second planet. "There are ice fields on the top of Tessy Minor, full of some of the most intellectual species in the universe. The Sensorites, colonized here some ten thousand years ago. Mostly humanoid. On this world, they have intelligent flowers and savage but moderately intelligent serpentine creatures in the water. We'll need to be careful when we hit land, don't want to disturb one of their nests. They nest in the mud, then swim out to hunt."

"I've always wondered what it would be like to experience a sunrise on another planet," she was a little giddy, but that faded a little when he mentioned danger. Really that was something that she needed to keep in mind at all times, but it was hard to go get overwhelmed by the amazing sounds and sights that he promised her.

"Well, Doctor, we should get going. I'd hate to waste what time we have."

mr_grumpyface April 28 2010, 20:15:05 UTC

As she spoke, he hopped back inside and pulled an oar out from underneath the console. He stepped back to the door.

"Get going? But we just got here!" he said, looking particularly crestfallen. "And it's brilliant, isn't it? Wrong, of course. But brilliant. And I've got this, so we can steer the TARDIS to the closest bank without hitting a nest."

canberewritten April 28 2010, 20:17:44 UTC

"I didn't mean leave the planet," she eyed the oar before stepping away from the door so he could have some room. "It was in the, let's get going to have more adventures, sort of way."

She switched sides so she could lean against something and look out at what was passing by.

mr_grumpyface April 28 2010, 20:30:29 UTC

"Well, good. The TARDIS took quite a smack to the water with that landing, I think we'll let her rest before we take off again. And did I mention wrong? I'm beginning to think something's very wrong with the whole universe." He leaned down to a crouch in the doorway and stuck the oar out, awkwardly paddling the TARDIS towards the shoreline. He grinned once the ship caught some speed, and gestured outside.

"Star sailers," he said, nodding. Sparkling bird-like creatures soared up from the waterfall, spiraling around it towards the upper planet.

canberewritten April 28 2010, 20:35:53 UTC

"What do you think is wrong with the universe?" She moved her gaze from outside towards him. If he thought there was something wrong then there must be. He was more in tuned with the universe than she was and it would make sense that he would notice if something was off.

When he mentioned something outside, Amy moved so that she was behind him and glanced out. "They're beautiful," she said in a hushed voice and tried to lean forward a little, like it would give her a better view of them.

mr_grumpyface April 29 2010, 00:41:52 UTC

"I don't know," he admitted. "Yet. But we'll figure it out together, eh, Pond?"

He had a number of ideas and most of them involved the girl standing over him. He couldn't talk to her about it. Not yet. Not until he knew more about the crack in her bedroom and what she did to electronic devices when she stood near them.

He'd figure it out.

"Careful," he said, tapping her leg. "Don't want you falling out."
