I would say 'It was a Dark and Stormy Night,' or 'It was a bright and Sunny Morning,' or some generic stuff like that, but it wasn't either. It was a Dull, Boring Afternoon. My Mom was at the store. I was in bed, reading the New Doctor Who Novel, when I was rudely shaken by what else? an Earthquake. Naturally, I ran to get under my Desk. I felt a transfer of Energy, like it was being drained, then filled up again. This went on for several seconds, as long as the Earthquake lasted. What I saw when I removed myself from under the Desk scared me like nobody's Business. Or, should I say nopony?
Cautiously, I said "Who the heck are you, and what are you doing in my house?" One of the Three females lying on my bedroom floor replied "I don't know were we are, and WHAT we are, but this isn't Equestria, and WHO are YOU?" "I asked first. But it IS rude to demand who someone is before introducing yourself. My name is John Brown. My friends sometimes call me 'Robin,' and my stage name is 'DJ Swag.' Now that I've introduced myself, Who are YOU?" I responded to the vague comment. Equestria? Wasn't that from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?
One of the Mysterious strangers jumped up, a caucasian female, about my age (They all were), with Blue-Light Blue hair, and said "A DJ? COOL!" and ran up to me. "Hmmmmm, you don't look like a DJ to me!" "You would think that. You don't look like one either." I responded, being the Smart-Butt I am. "Anyways," The first Girl said, a Mixed Race (Asian and Caucasian?) Girl with Purple-Magenta-Pink hair said, "My name is Twilight Sparkle. These are my friends. Now, tell me, what have you done to us?!" She said, the last part sounding not-at-all threatening, like she wasn't used to doing it very often. I said "I haven't DONE any thing to you. Last I checked, you appeared into My house- Wait a minute.... Did you say your name was Twilight Sparkle ?" "Yes. How is that important?" Twilight said. "Oh, this is were it gets confusing. You see, in this world, Twilight Sparkle is a character in the Television Show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic . You mentioned Equestria? That is from the Show, and I believe that somehow, the Earthquake-that-may-not-have-been-an-Earthquake that happened before you appeared somehow transferred some of my thought patterns into reality, scraping all of you from the show, and if that's true..."
Twilight Said "Well, that's fine and dandy, but what are we wearing?""Well, you would happen to be wearing a.... long sleeved shirt, sweater vest and skirt. Vinyl, your name is Vinyl, yes? Also known as DJ P0N-3? You would be wearing a tank-top (Yes, it is a Male writer, Barely into his Teens. Don't judge me) and Skinny-Jeans. Derpy..... is wearing a Mail-Man's uniform? I guess that is politically correct. I, myself is currently wearing Dark Jeans, A Black T-Shirt, Sports Jacket, and Hard-Rock Cafe Hat."
As i was saying that Derpy woke up as I said her name and said "Muffins". "And, Ms. Sparkle, I haven't done ANYTHING to you, It appears that the Earthquake-that-may-not-have-been-an-Earthquake, as I said earlier, Pulled you from the TV Show previously mentioned, and turned you into this worlds equivalent of your world, which is the Human Race. I don't know how, or why, but be glad that the E.T.M.N.H.B.A.E. didn't turn you into this worlds equivalent of Ponies. You wouldn't like That. And how do I know all your names? As I said earlier, TV Show." "OK, but that doesn't answer the question. HOW did we get here?" Twilight said. I simply said "Wait for it...." before Twilight could say anything and a noise materialized. VWOOOOOOOORP VWOOOOOOOORP VWOOOOOOOORP VWOOOOOOOORP VWOOOOOOOORP
A Blue Box started to appear. On the Top it said 'Police Public Call Box.' When the noise stopped, I threw the door in to the little box. "Hello, Doctor!" As I walked in, I said to all the Ponies-turned-Humans, "I wouldn't recommend coming in." An individual with striking resemblance to Matt Smith, wearing a tweed jacket, suspenders, a cream shirt, a bow tie, a fez, dress pants, and loafers, came up and said "Oh! Hello! Yes, it is bigger on the inside! Although, you don't seem to surprised about it, you little sports coat-wearing individual." I just said "This confirms my theory. Come on in, Everypony! It is safe, for the moment. Although, all of you should know that in this world, it is 'Everyone.' Now, Doctor, I should inform you that freaky Stuff is going on. I assume that some form of temporal Shift Occurred, for these Female Friends of mine are from a different universe where Equans are the dominant race of the Planet Equestria, where through magical means, the Sun revolves around the planet, and unicorns and pegasi are common sights. Also, in this universe, you do not exist as anything more than a TV Show, catagoring you adventures across the cosmos. Tell me, How are Amy and Rory? Or have I missed them in you time stream?"
The Doctor simply stared, and then, with a leap said " Weirder things have happened. I assume you talk like that because of the show. Which of my regenerations do you like the best?" "Personally, I think your a bit like Willy Wonka, and that you last incarnation was very serious. I like both of you, but we have a Problem! Both you and the Humans-that-were-originally-Equans don't belong in this universe!" The Doctor stopped jumping and said "Well there, we have a problem, because, this is a new universe to explore, for me and the Past tense Equans. I think I should stay, and if it will shut you up, would you like a Sonic Screwdriver? Maybe a Jelly Baby?" "A Sonic Screwdriver? For Me? Yes, that'll stop me from nagging about the Universes potentially Imploding. Does the TARDIS scan me and make me a personalized screwdriver?" I said, astounded by HOW MUCH this Doctor was naive to the possible threat. He simply walked over to the TARDIS Control panel and it spawned him a new screwdriver. He handed it to me and said that "Yes, it does scan your personality when creating a new Screwdriver." Mine was large for a Sonic Screwdriver, very much like The Doctor's Personal Screwdriver, but mine had a Blue Tip.
As me and the Doctor were talking, the girls walked into the TARDIS one at a time, and each of them gasped. Twilight witnessed the exchange of Sonic Screwdrivers and asked "What is a Sonic Screwdriver, and what is this place?" The Doctor ran each of them through the standard speech about the TARDIS that he gives each new companion. A rumbling sound came from outside the TARDIS. It was my Mother, back from the store. "Oh no! Doctor! My Mother is here! You can come to dinner, maybe. but we need to think of an Alibi. I'm not travelling with you just yet!" The Doctor said" Here's the Alibi, I am you History teacher, mister......" "Smith." I answered. He continued "Mister Smith! I am him, and I will ask her if you can come on a trip with me! To an observatory, very far away! And the Girls..... Are my Daughters! i never go anywhere without them! I'll take a little hop back in time, figure out the Alibi, and you are gonna just act as if nothing ever happened!" I was pushed out of the TARDIS and screamed "BUT DOCTOR! YOU LOOK LIKE CELEBRITY!" But it was too late, for the TARDIS was dematerializing, and my Mother was unlocking the Door. "OK, John. Just act natural......."
"Well, this has been a weird day!" Said the Doctor, with a twinkle in his eye. It had, in fact, been an EXTREMELY weird day, but by the Doctor's standards, it was just plain weird. The three Past-Equans were still amazed at the Science behind the TARDIS. A small little Police Public Call Box from London, 1963, was perfectly fine for them. That same box, holding a whole universe inside of it, however,only Twilight could handle, Barely.It's just that Ditzy just stared off into space, as if dreaming. "Doctor, Where are we going? And Who ARE you? This day is making no sense!" Twilight asked, in a rage. The Doctor just kept hitting switches. "Well, we are going to finish our Alibi, which John may have done for us, and then........" He said, pulling a big lever " We are going back to our friend John's house, and putting that Alibi into action."
"Honey, I'm home!" said my mother. "Hail" I replied. My Mother said "Hey, John, how do you feel about pizza for dinner?" Me, putting on my headset on the computer, said "Yeah, pizza will be great. Oh, by the way, did you get a call from my history teacher?" "No, honey, I didn't. Why?" She asked. Oh boy. " Because he said at the end of the school year that he would pick one student from a bucket and take that student on a trip with his daughters. He E-mailed me saying that I had one." I lied. "He will be coming over for dinner later tonight, and he is bringing his daughters." At me saying this, my mother immediately started to panic, like she usually does when people come over. "Well, don't just stand there! help me clean up!" She demanded in my general direction. I think I'm going to skip writing that part................
After a while of cleaning, I looked out of the window, and saw the Doctor, Twilight, Vinyl, and Ditzy starring at me. I opened the door for them, and called my mother. "Mom! Doctor Smith is here!" "Oh, good!" called back my mom. After getting settled down, (The Doctor was eating with my mom, who was a little annoyed at the Doctor's last minute appearance. I was eating with the girls.) I had a chat with the girls. "So your telling me, that In this world, Wearing clothes casually is normal?" said Twilight. "Yes, and around here, that is a very touchy subject, so let's change the subject....." I said, taking a bite out of my cheese pizza. "Oh, I forgot to tell you girls something," I said, lowering my pizza. "Human diets aren't exactly like Equan diets. We humans are omnivores." At this, Twilight put her hand up to her mouth and gasped. Ditzy and Vinyl looked at her questioningly. "Glad to see someone has been learning their biology." I said. I then turned to Vinyl and Ditzy, who were sitting opposite me and Twilight. "An omnivore is an organism that eats-" Before I could finish, however, Twilight interrupted me. "An omnivore is an organism that eats both vegetation and-" She gulped." Animals." I would ave laughed at their horrified faces, had I no had some respect for what they were saying. But, really, I archived the looks on their faces in my memory banks to laugh at later. It was just. that. funny..
I'll let you imagine their looks while we go check on the Doc. He was in hot water, in fact, my Mom was sending wave after wave of hot water at him. after she was done scolding him for such last minute appearances, She started to talk about the trip. The Doctor lied about the majority about it, but he kept to the story he had, wich may have put him into even more hot water, Like if you went to Hell, and it was full of hot water, and it was raining hot water, and that Hot water was on fire, maybe that would be remotely close to this amount of hot water, but probably not....... Warcraft references aside, he was just the Doctor, making a deal with the most dangerous creature in the universe..... a slightly annoyed Mother. Needless to say, the Doctor struck a deal, and Me, Twilight, Vinyl, and Ditzy, followed the Doctor into the cool night air.
I started laughing when we got into the TARDIS. When everyone started to give me looks, I explained that it was the looks on heir faces when I told them about us being omnivores. After a pause among them, they started laughing too, not because they thought I was joking about that, which I wasn't (Of course), but because they got good looks of each other's faces too. After the laughing ended, I leaped out of the seat and said "Doctor, take us out." With permission to do so, he started pressing seemingly random buttons and flipping seemingly random levers. Me, exited about what was happening, laughed among the TARDIS seemingly shaking out of control. I said what any Whovian would say in my place. "ALLON-Y!"
"Well, Doctor, If you's care to open the door." I said when the TARDIS landed. The ride was a little more than bumpy, but I knew what to expect. Poor Girls, sucked out of their own dimension and forms, meeting a strange 13-year old boy, then shoved into a rackety old TARDIS with a Mad man. I can see why they were annoyed after we landed. "Ugh, I think I broke my back" said Twilight. "What was that shaking?" At this, the Doctor turned to Twilight. "We've moved. That's what it does when it moves." And leaving Twilight to whine about the vague answer. "The ride is supposed to be smoother. The Doctor just likes to leave the brakes on." I whispered into Twilight's ear. Vinyl was up and ready, and so was Derpy. The Doctor flung the door open.
"Welcome, my friends, to the Gallaheim Expedition, the year 30052, the largest gathering of Human colonists sent out to find, catalogue, and colonize any and all planets they come across! We are currently standing on the surface of Gamma 5, the Primary Base for the Expedition." the Doctor said, walking coolly out of the TARDIS. "FREEZE! YOU ARE TRESPASSING!" Screamed out a Man's voice. The sound of a gun cocking shortly followed.
Needless to say, we all complied. The Doctor, ever the man of negotiations, said "Ok. Not like this hasn't happened before, witch it has, mind you, but isn't this the Gallaheim Expedition?" The man just stared at the Doctor, pulled out a clipboard, and said "Yes, but you aren't on the Roster. If you are here to join, you shouldn't wander into the ammo stores. Who let you in here?" Everyone lowered their arms. "Terribly sorry about that. I let us in. My ship was designed to fly to the Gallaheim Expedition, not a specific place on Gamma 5, mind you. Here is my Identification." The Doctor said, waving his psychic paper. Twilight whispered "What's that." to me. "Physic Paper. It show people what you want to believe." I whispered back.
"Terribly sorry about that, Dr. Smith. You should get to the sick bay and start treating right away! I'll lead your kids to their rooms." And with saying that, the soldier walked away with us. "Well, isn't this convenient." I said, walking with the gang to our room. Along the way, Twilight kept trying to ask me about what was going on, and I kept responding with "I don't know, but this is pretty cool!" I think I made her mad, hehe. Anyways, when we got to our room, it appeared to be quite spacious, with many luxuries. It was rectangular with a two square bedrooms attached to the main living room. A large window let us see out into the world. Before, all we could see was a warehouse, but through the window, we could see that Gamma 5 was a forest planet, similar to Endor's moon in Star Wars. A large TV was across the room from the couch, and as I sat down, trying to fight the nervous panic that entered me as I realised that this was real and not a TV show, the man who lead us here said "OK, I expect all of you to be polite... we aren't exactly in a soundproof room, and there are guests to your left and right sides. I gave him a thumbs up and he left. Vinyl grabbed a soda from the mini-fridge (if you cannot already tell, there is a hotel on this planet) and sat down next to me. Derpy stopped looking wide-eyed and just sat down as well. Feeling overcrowded, I got out of the couch and stood in the square-shaped kitchen area with Twilight. "So, we are here, I am on a different planet, and you all are in a different Universe entirely!" I said, trying to ease the silence caused by nothing to do.
"This way, Dr. Smith." said an armed soldier, letting the Doctor into the medical wing on a ship labeled 'The Gallaheim.' The Doctor looked to his left and right, seeing all of the wounded men. "This isn't correct, this expedition should not have any wounded, how did they get hurt?" Upon closer inspection, the Doctor found eerily familiar burn marks on the wounded men. "I am not sure, they claim that some pepper-shaker shaped metal things ambushed them." The Doctor got a worried look on his face, but then pretended that it never happened and looked at the patient, saying "I'm sorry, I am so sorry," and the wounded man looked at him as if he was going to die, but the Doctor then said "but you are going to be ok." The man that he was talking to looked near death, but upon hearing the news, regained color in his face, and smiled when saying, "Thank you, but how can you be sure?" The Doctor said "Because, if it was going to kill you, those things you saw wouldn't have kept you alive." Realisation reached the Doctor and he got up and said "Take me to my room, I need to say something to the kids." The corporal looked slightly surprised, but it passed when he realised, 'oh hey, this guy seems worried about what was described, it is probably some serious s***.' "This way, sir." was all that he said.
"Well, I see your point, but I think that a smoother style of music can be better at times." I said to Vinyl, as we were talking about musical genres. Twilight was off in a corner, trying to use her magic, to no avail. Derpy was seated squarely on the couch, watching some cartoons. Seeing Twilight's hands glow with a violet hue, I felt a strange sense of amazement come upon me . One of Vinyl's empty soda cans that Twilight had set 5 yards away from her, started to erupt in a similar glow, and began to lift off of the ground. I stared, wide-eyed at the spectacle, but Vinyl and Derpy just looked as if it was a common occurrence. "Hey, what's the matter, haven't you seen magic before?" asked Vinyl. "No, actually, as I have said before, our universes are different, this is amazing!" I said in reply, amazed at Twilight's abilities. "Well, do you want to see more?" asked Twilight, whose concentration was put onto the can with amazing precision, but still having enough will to put her mind to other challenges. "Well, I certainly would," said the Doctor, entering the room. He seemed legitimately interested, but he looked distracted, which, knowing the Doctor, worried me heavily. "Doctor, you seem worried, what is wrong?" I asked, and the Doctor looked at me with the thought of hiding his trouble shattered by me. "Doctor, I've seen and heard enough about you to know that when you get a worried look, we should be worried."
"Well, John, um... You know the metal pepper-shakers?" He said, and I, being familiar with the jokes, started to burst out in a cold sweat. "What's a pepper shaker?" Asked Derpy. " Oh, right, you don't have hands, so you aren't familiar with pepper shakers... we can discuss it later, but by giant metal pepper shakers, I mean-" The Doctor started, but I interrupted with "The Daleks, so we should be really, really scared."
"Well, John, I can see that you are well learned of my adventures." The Doctor said, and I followed up nervously with: "So, uhm, why are we still here?" "WHAT IS A DALEK, AND WHY ARE YOU TWO SO SCARED?" Shouted Vinyl, as I had left our conversation to talk to the Doctor. "Like death incarnate. A Dalek is death and metal, and fire, and hatred, all rolled up into one big ball." said the Doctor. I then said "Except that we have a secret weapon on our side, you, Doctor!" He gave me a surprised look and I said "Well, to them, you are the destroyer of worlds. You are the one thing the Daleks are afraid of." Silence filled the room, until I turned to the three ex-ponies. "The Daleks are a long time enemy of the Doctor, and were created to be the so-called 'perfect beings' in the universe, created by Davros, on the planet Skaro." Turning to the Doctor, I said: "Doctor, Skaro is in another universe, or so I can tell by the fact that you are not from this universe yourself, nor are these girls. What is going on?" The Doctor turned to all of us and said: "I have no Idea, but the Daleks are my mess to deal with. Now, I don't feel great about the fact that you all are children, practically, but I think that this is going to be dangerous, so don't wander off." Derpy said "I wish there was something like how in cartoons they show you inside the bad guy's planning room and they say something important!"
"REPORT!" Shouted the strange, pepper shaker shaped metal pod. It was larger than the other, similar creatures around it, and it was painted with a rusty reddish color. Large copper plates with half-spheres decorated it's lower area, while it's mid section was split by a rectangular black box, with what looked like a plunger coming out one of it's sides, and an egg-beater shaped device out of the other. "Dalek Commander, we have taken heavy damage!" shouted one of the smaller Daleks, looking at a monitor through it's strange eye stock. "Prepare for landing." said Dalek Commander, and they landed in a forested area, about 500 miles away from a large encampment. "Hmm..." said the Dalek Commander. "My scanners inform me that these humans have Plaranite! We should take it and use it to fix our ship! That firefight has damaged us badly!" A nod of approval went around the room, as the Dalek System Operators agreed. "Also, find and shoot one of the human's scouts. Let them know that their doom is approaching!" And with that said, every Dalek in the room started to do an evil laugh. Don't ask me why, they just did.
The Doctor started running around in the TARDIS, which he had moved to our room last night. "Well, we should do something about these darecks." said Vinyl, punching her hand. "They are called Daleks" I said. Derpy had decided that she didn't like what we were talking about, and so decided to go play video games in the massive entertainment center on the TARDIS. The Doctor turned from the console and said "no violence. No guns, no killing, no harming anything or anyone of any sorts." He wagged his finger at Vinyl. Twilight looked at us with a new interest, and said "Doctor, if harming them is not an option, and I never agreed that it was, can we by any chance talk to them?" The Doctor said "They would open fire on you as soon as they saw you. They are merciless killers." Everyone went quiet, until I suggested "Doctor, they are afraid of you. If Daleks are like humans in this respect, then if we showed them something that they feared -you- , they would possibly leave out of fear. If I know anything about you though, that is not an option, so why not tell them that you are here, so that they would feel obligated to put their plan into action. There is nothing that a general fears more than acting upon an unfinished plan." The Doctor contemplated on this, and finally spoke. "I agree that that would show the Daleks hand on the matter, but what about the people that they would reach before we could beat them?" I shrugged, and said "Not everyone survives. You can have the best weapons, the best armor, but casualties will still flood in." The Doctor reluctantly nodded his head and said "That's Right, and those are wise words for one so young, so we should do this. Now."
RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING went the Red Phone on the desk. The man sitting at the desk picked it up and said "Hello?" Just telling by his voice, he was having a bad day. "Yes, hello this is the Doctor. I just wanted to inform you that there are some very hostile aliens just a little ways away, and they are planning on taking something from you, and we can help you stop them." Hmph. Who was this guy? "Who are you? Tell me who you are and what game you are playing!" he barked. As soon as he said that, a large blue box appeared in front of his desk, and it made him jump out of his chair and press the security button about 5 times. VWOOOOOOOORP VWOOOOOOOOORP VWOOOOOOOOORP Whent the strange... thing, appearing to come in and out of reality. After the guards had come in and also jumped at the box, they took a firing position with their rifles. Opening the door to the sight, the Doctor said "For a military commander, you certainly have less guards than Nixon!" and jumped out and smiled at the commander, for it was indeed Commander Robert Gallaheim, the man who had led the initiative for the expedition in the first place. "Who are you?" asked Gallaheim, pointing at the Doctor "and how did you get in here? This room is surrounded by all sides by 30 feet of concrete and 5 feet of high-power force fields." The Doctor gladly said, you know, before I answer any of these questions, I would hope that you would call down your men. I have kids with me!" and on cue, Twilight, Derpy, Vinyl, and I stepped out of the TARDIS. Commander Gallaheim looked at us with wonder, and called down his men.
I skipped most of the Doctor's explanations, mainly due to the fact that long-time Doctor Who fans know all of this, and went right ahead to the exciting bit. "Hmph, I can believe all of that, but before you appeared, you said that there are 'strange aliens' nearby, and that you can help me. Explain." They were all sitting at a couch, the Doctor and the rest of us. and Gallaheim sat opposite. " I mean that we can help you stop the intruders." "Hmm, how can I be sure that you aren't after the Plaranite?" the Commander said, suspicious at our timely arrival. I half whispered, half loudly asked the doctor "What is Plaranite? That isn't on the periodic table." Gallaheim looked at me, as if I had sprouted another head, and curiously asked me "By any chance, son, could you tell me what school you go to? Plaranite is the rarest and most valuable element in the Galaxie, and you have never heard of it?" The Doctor quickly responded "He's homeschooled. Not gotten that far into the elements yet." "Hmph. Well, we use it to power our ships, and it is used to make some pretty important parts." The Doctor shouted "That must be what the Daleks want!" and shot off of the couch. He then ran into the TARDIS, and I ran after him. Not knowing what to do, the girls ran after us. The Doctor shoved his head and an arm through the door, and said "Thank you commander! You have told me what I needed to know to stop the Daleks!" and gave a thumbs up through the door. The TARDIS dematerialised and left a baffled and enraged Commander Richard Gallaheim behind.
The Doctor picked up a phone and used his sonic to attach it to the TARDIS monitor. A Red Dalek appeared on the screen, and it began to scream "AAAAAAAAAAAHG. WHAT IS THIS INTRUSION?" The Doctor said "Oh, you're an old model, aren't you? Anyways, hello, I'm the Doctor, and I know what you want from this base, and I suggest that you leave." The Dalek Commander, not sure of what to think, said "We cannot. we either die here or escape. These humans will be EXTERMINATED for the mighty Dalek Empire!" Following that was a chorus of 'DALEKS REIGN SUPREME.' The Doctor decided to use another tactic, and chose to sonic the screen, with a confused Dalek Commander staring at him. "What have you done?" "Nothing much really, just fixed your ship with my sonic, don't mind me being a bother." I gave him a questioning look, with a Dalek Commander yelling "Is this true?" to its Engineers, painted yellow. "It is true, Dalek Commander, all systems functional." said one peon, looking up from it's screen. The commander looked at the Doctor through his massive projector screen and said "Doctor, I do not know what game you are playing. Dalek Engineers, engage the ship. Start slow to make sure there is no foul play." After the Daleks were satisfied with their ship, the commander said farewell with a "I have guessed you wrong Doctor. Daleks, destroy the humans!" The video cut out, and the Doctor looked not a bit worried.
"Doctor, you have just slaughtered all of those people!" I shouted at the Doctor, who actually smiled to himself. He clicked his screwdriver once, and on the monitor appeared the Dalek's Command Area, with the Dalek Commander yelling "DOCTOR! I KNEW BETTER THAN TO TRUST YOU! YOU ARE THE DESTROYER OF-" the Dalek's shouting was cut off by a message reading 'Out of Range.' After all of us had given the Doctor strange looks, he decided to share with us what he had done. "So, I fixed there ship, yes, but I had linked the navigation arrays to a toggle on my screwdriver. Now, they are flying off into space without knowledge of where they are going, which is into deep space. No one will ever hear from them again." The Doctor put all of us at ease, and me and the girls decided to retire to our rooms on the TARDIS. Before we left, however, the Doctor decided to keep me behind and said, "We aren't from here, the Daleks and I. I assume that an Earthquake happened before we arrived?" I nodded my head, and the Doctor said, "Well, that was my fault. Anyways, I'll let you go to sleep. How about somewhere peaceful in the morning, eh?" I said that that would be wonderful, and I left the room. The Doctor started stroking the TARDIS, which gave a slight hum. "Hows about that, old girl... somewhere peaceful..." He started to dose off mid sentence and he fell asleep on the seat next to the console, swept off to sleep by the gentle hum of the TARDIS, almost as if it was singing him to sleep.
