The Doctor wanted to relax.
Usually he found such things rather boring, but even he could admit it was sometimes essential; after, perhaps, an emotional upheaval, and a battle with rabid fluffy toys. Funny; usually such an adventure would help put such things out of his mind, but it didn't work.
Perhaps this would.
The Eye of Orion may have been a predictable choice, he supposed, even dull, but there was no need for the TARDIS to be so stubborn about it.
"Now, really - " He stumbled, banging his shin against the console as his ship roared in his mind; since when did she hate...

Slowly, he straightened, holding tightly to the edge, and listened. He'd been so closed off, so rigid, that he never felt her own desperation. He didn't know the cause, but he knew that emotion so very well.
So very, very well.
Softly, "All right, old girl. Take me where you like."
Soon enough, they materialised on a scorched, barren world that made his mind shiver.
Well, he can't go back now.
