"Well then, Doctor. Where are we headed to this time?" Sarah Jane entered the white console room from the interior of the TARDIS. She was dressed in a pink dress with white polka dots and white sandals.

"Oh, good. You're done dressing. Actually, I was thinking about having you fly her this time."

"Me? Oh, I couldn't do it. I'm not that kind of person.

"And yet, I can sense a slight hint of eagerness in your voice. Come on. Just once."

"Oh, all right. Let's do it then." She walked over to the console. "Now, what do I press?"

"That depends. Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know. How about 100 years in the future."

"Okay then. Well, this panel right here is the one you'll use." He moved them over to the panel facing the door. On the panel were buttons flashing many different colors of light, and levers and switches. On the panel to the right were many more buttons and switches, with a computer monitor in the middle. In the center of the console was the time rotor. It moved up and down to signal that it was moving through time and space.

"Okay, but which button do I press?"

"Oh, right. Yes, well, actually, you use this button right here for 10 years into the future. You press it 10 times for 100 years."

"Isn't there an easier way to do that?"

"Actually, no, there isn't. That's as easy as it is. 10 presses of a button is all it takes."

"I thought there would be another button that would do 100 years."

"Well, there is, but it doesn't work properly."

"Really? How so?"

"Well, that I'm actually not quite sure of. It just doesn't work. I've pressed it before, and it does nothing. Look. I'll do it now."

With the press of the button, the room was bathed in red light, and an alarm sounded loudly throughout the console. Sarah Jane and the Doctor both covered their ears. The noise continued for what seemed an eternity, before dying down. The light in the TARDIS was also gone. The room was completely dark. No light emitted from the round things in the walls, or from the lights in the ceiling.

"Doctor! Where are you!" Sarah Jane could not see where she was. She could not find the switch for the door.

"Right here Sarah Jane. Let me see. Now, which one of these turns the lights back on? Ah, here it is! No, wait, no that's not the right button. I'll just try and open the doors. Now, where is that switch?" He fumbled around the console, moving to each panel, feeling the buttons and switches because he could not see. Finally he found the switch and flipped it to the "on" position.

"Finally. Some light!" Sarah Jane could finally see, as could the Doctor. She went to step out of the TARDIS for some fresh air, but stopped at the doors. In front of her was the vast expanses of space. Shades of purple, red, and blue were floating like a liquid throughout.

"Doctor! You might want to take a look at this," she called out. "There's just nothing out here. Nothing but space."

"What? Really? Let me see?" He came rushing over to the entrance of the box. "Well, you certainly are right about that. I can't do anything about moving us though. The TARDIS still won't turn on from the console."

"Isn't there like a backup generator, or something inside the ship?"

"Well, there is, but it's been moved around many times. We'd have to do some searching for it. Is that alright with you?"

"Yeah. That's fine. As long as you can get me home." Sarah Jane turned around and walked back to the console room.

"You know, unless we can turn the power back on, we're trapped floating in space indefinitely. That is, until we lock on to a center of gravity." He poked his head out of the phone box, his scarf floating wildly around. "Oh! Now, that's trouble."

"What's trouble?" Sarah Jane inquired as she walked back to the entrance.

"That. That planet there." He pointed to a large aqua-colored planet with white splotches. "If we crash into it, that's the end of both of us."

"How long do we have?"

"I'd give us about an hour before we crash. If we can't get the TARDIS working again by them, we'll crash. Even I can't survive being in a crash to a planet. Even in this."

"So, then. Into the TARDIS we go. Right?"

"Yep. Into the TARDIS." He led the way into the Console room. "Oh. I forgot about this." He pulled a red and black handled chrome torch out of his pocket, and moved the switch up, and there was a beam of light emitted from it."

"You had a torch, and you forgot about it?"

"Well, I do have a lot of things in my pockets. They are bigger on the inside, you know."

"You are completely unbelieveable!" She laughed a bit while talking.

"Well, at least we can see where we're going now. Did I say that I have no idea where the generator is exactly?"

"Yes. You did say that. Right when I asked you if there was one."

"Yes, right. So, then. Onwards." The Doctor opened the interior door, leading to the rest of the interior. Inside was a corridor, filled with many doors, and many other passageways. The walls had round things in them, like the console room, although they were about half as large, and there were about half as many of them.

"Is there a general location the generator could be, Doctor?"

"Hm? Oh, yes. General location. Umm... that would be in one of the secondary console rooms. I think. Could be elsewhere."

"So, should we check those rooms first?"

"You know what, Sarah Jane? That is a good idea. The first one is just up ahead on the right." They entered a room that had a raised platform in the center. In the middle of the platform was a console, like the main one, but wooden. So was the rest of the room. It was wood. Roundels were embedded into the walls; some contained stained-glass windows.

"This looks like a nice room. Why don't you use it more often?" Sarah Jane was quite curious as to why The Doctor always used the same room when he had other ones hidden inside.

"Well, that's because that one is my favourite. I like the round things. Although, I have no idea what they're for, or what they are. They look nice."

"This one has round things too. And, some of them have windows. It's like a lounge. A bit smaller than the main room, but still just as nice."

"Maybe, after we get this sorted out, we'll use this room once. But only after we get the lights on. Come on, we're looking for the generator. Remember? We'll crash if we don't."

"How could I forget? You told me that already. It's not like I forget everything I hear right away."

The Doctor got down on the floor of the room, and opened a panel on the console's base. After a minute, he put the panel back, and opened another.

"Sarah, could you shine that light over here?" There was no response. Just then, the lights came on in the room. The Doctor looked over to where she was standing, and saw her frozen where she stood.
