The TARDIS' door slam open and the Doctor and Amy ran through like two whirling dervishes. Amy shut the door and leaned against it to apply as much pressure as possible; she started laughing as soon as she saw the goofy grin on the Doctor's face.

"What was that then?!" she yelled at the gangly doctor who was running around the main circuit board pressing as many buttons as he could, and the TARDIS gave out the familiar gasping noise it always did as he pulled down a lever.

"That, Amelia Jessica Pond Williams, was our daring escape!" he gasped out as he paused to straighten his hound's-tooth patterned bowtie.

"That? Did it take you a grand total of ten-seconds to think that up?" Amy said as she swanked up the steps, still feeling rattled after being chased by the Sontaran hunting party.

"Tut, tut! It doesn't become a young lady to be snarky." Said the Doctor, putting on a false stuck up tone. "Oh really!" Amy said still grinning.

But before she could add another clever comment, the TARDIS gave a violent jerk and a harsh thud onto something that sounded and felt like ground.

"Doctor, what was that?" Amy asked, clinging on to the railing of the circuit board. The Doctor ran his hand through his hair and started to press all of the buttons again.

"Um, well. It may be a simple hiccup of the…the…uh, thrusters. Thrusters! Yes, thrusters…." The Doctor stammered. He looked up at Amy who had her hands on her hips and was giving him the 'I know you have no idea what you're talking about' look.

"Right, the thrusters." Amy said. She stalked off toward the door and flung it open. Outside was the most brilliant and gleaming land Amy had ever imagined. It was sandy and glowing, as if every particle of sand was a tiny burst of sunlight. It wasn't hot, but warm and windy, and far off in the distance there was an army of tall, majestic mountains. Amy gasped and turned to the Doctor.

"Doctor, look." She said.

He ran over to see, but his reaction was much different than Amy's, who was still wide eyed and opened mouthed. "Oh! Yes yes yes yes yes! Why am I so dense? Of course the magnetic pulses from the energy stream of this planet would have…." The Doctor yelled and jumped around, turning and twisting all around the TARDIS. Amy finally closed her mouth and glared at him.

"DOCTOR! What is going on?" she yelled. He finally stopped running around but started to mess with the TARDIS screen and mumble incoherent words under his breath.

"Fine, I'll just find out for myself!" Amy exclaimed. Not even noticing that she had said anything, the Doctor continued his silent ranting. Amy pursed her lips and walked onto the gleaming sand of the strange world where she now found herself. She didn't really want to go off alone but she definitely didn't want to listen to the Doctor's obscure mumblings for half an hour.

"Well then," she said to herself. "Where would one go if one wanted to find out where they were on a giant sandbox then?" she walked a few steps and turned to look back at the TARDIS, but it was gone, the TARDIS completely vanished from sight.

"What in the…oh no. Doctor! Doctor where are you?" she screamed as she whirled around to search the surrounding area. She didn't hear the familiar whirring of the large, blue box. She clasped a hand to her mouth as if trying to mute any exclamation trying to escape, and waited for a few seconds hoping that the Doctor would be somewhere beckoning her to get in the TARDIS.

"Why do you go off alone Amy? You know that when you do, you always get into trouble." She said to herself as she started to walk toward where she thought the TARDIS was before.

"The Doctor better be around here close by, I'm not going to be left here while Rory gets to stay on that planet with the crystal waterfall getting a spa treatment. The man is insane if he thinks that I'm…" Amy didn't finish her sentence because she stumbled and was now falling, falling down a smooth, pipe like tube that seemed to have come out of nowhere. ~
