Hello, this is a remake of an old story I wrote some time ago, as I upgraded my writing skills since I started to write, I thought I should remake this episode, the old story is already deleted to avoid confusions, and now without further ado, let the adventure unfold.
The Doctor was walking around the TARDIS´console panel holding an extremely bored look. Clara, clueless about how to help him, sat down in a chair observing him, suddenly a phone ring echoed throughout the room.
The Doctor pointed at the phone, and then he smiled.
"Do we have a phone?" inquired Clara surprised.
"Oh, come on just look at where we are" he picked up the phone "Yes? Speaks the Doctor" he paused for a bit "uh… wha… who? A mission?" he paused again, then he suddenly looked delighted "Oh, red buttons?" he placed the phone on his shoulder and turned to Clara "I love red buttons" he whispered to her, Clara stared weirdly at him and the Doctor listened to the phone again "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I´m still here, and of course you can count on me" He hung up the phone with a really happy expression
"Who was it?" inquired Clara curious.
"I don´t know" he became thoughtful "Female voice, a weirdly familiar female voice actually, but she insisted on not telling her name… anyway" he clapped once "We are going to Vorlith, we are going there to explore a cave, but none of that matters, the point here is:" he smiled, he seemed very excited "There are red buttons" Clara became astonished "Big red buttons involved"
"Big red buttons?"she cried out in a shade of surprise "Don´t you think it is a bit weird description about the mission?" the Doctor made a face "I don´t know, but I believe they should tell you about the risks, er… the treasures, I mean, the mission itself, not about… buttons"
The Doctor looked insulted.
"Hey, shut , buttons are important as well, they are even more important…no" he corrected himself "much more important than those little… silly…things" he ran to the console panel and pulled a lever "Anyway, off we go Clara!"
The TARDIS shuddered for a few seconds, and then she stopped.
The Doctor opened the TARDIS´door and saw a lonely, rocky dark planet, he also saw some people walking around with great reconnaissance equipment.
The Doctor left the TARDIS holding a really enthusiastic look and Clara smiled when she noticed it.
"You look a bit overexcited, what is it?
"Nothing" he replied "It´s just I´ve never been on this planet before" he looked at everywhere "This is completely new for me" he turned no Clara "And new is cool… but" he emphasized the 'but´ word smiling "The most important thing is: There are red buttons in here"
The doctor moved towards the people there.
"Hello" he greeted them "I am the Doctor, this is" he pointed at Clara "Clara, my companion… but you should probably know that already" he began to look everywhere as if he wanted to find a specific person "Some of you invited me after all… anyway" he shuffled his hands "Where are the buttons?"
"Buttons?" the man asked clueless, the Doctor looked suspiciously at him "Oh" he seemed to understand "Those buttons… they are inside that cave" he pointed at it "Over there, you see?" both Clara and the Doctor turned to the cave "Your mission starts there" the man finished.
The man bowed before them, the Doctor made a face and Clara laughed.
The Doctor and Clara entered into the cave, there they saw a small cubic room with some ancient stone inscription at its end.
"But" the Doctor looked annoyed "Is this the cave?!" He shouted and Clara looked rapidly at him, surprised by his shout "Is this little cubic annoying box the cave?"
"What were you expecting?" Clara inquired.
"I don´t know" his voice tone remained loud "Some fancy sciency wiency stuff here, some cool buttons o…ver …there" his voice tone lowered down when he realized there were no seeable buttons "And where are the buttons, anyways?"
"Something else?" Clara asked while looking suspiciously at the deepest part of the cavern.
"Yes, actually there is… this could be also slightly more bigger than" he looked annoyed at the cave "This"
"More bigger, seriously?" Clara exclaimed while approaching that weird object.
"Oh, come on, you are not willing to teach me grammar" he stared at her for a few moments "Are you? I invented it… and yes, you can say more bigger, it basically means it is bigger than… bigger"
"You… invented grammar?" She asked, turning to him surprised.
"Yes" he replied "Don´t ask me why, not important" he made a thoughtful face "Actually, it is, but not for today"
Clara then observed cautiously that thing, the Doctor was already about to leave.
"Hey" she shouted at him "Look at this"
The Doctor looked back at her.
"Yes? What is it?"
"I…" she looked again at the inscription "I don´t know, some kinds of letters… I guess"
The Doctor became intrigued. Consequently, he ran towards Clara and observed it.
"Oh" he recognized those letters"It is Maarean" he turned to Clara "An ancient language…" he started to think "One of the first, if I´m not wrong"
"Can you read it?" she asked promptly.
"Maybe… I had some classes of it as a student" he took the inscription from Clara´s hands "Let me see"
The Doctor began to study the lettering, and then he read it
"You won´t pass, ever
If you are not clever"
The Doctor smiled "A puzzle" he turned to Clara still happily "I love puzzles" Clara made a face at him.
"Ok, you love buttons and you love puzzles, quite a coincidence don´t you think?"
"Maybe" he looked thoughtful "But I´m in a rush now…anyway, it doesn´t matter, I already know what we have to do, or better… to have"
"What?" she said clueless.
"Oh, c´mon, isn´t it obvious?"
"No, are you still talking about the inscription?"
"No… I´m talking about the cinema you watched last night" he said sarcastically and Clara started to seem thoughtful "Of course I´m talking about the inscription" he finished.
Clara looked suspiciously at him.
"How can you possibly know what I did last night?"
The Doctor seemed embarrassed.
"That doesn´t matter" he said "Anyway, the answer is: Intelligence, we need intelligence to move on" he smiled and acted all cocky "Luckily… we got…" he pointed at himself "Me!"
As soon as he pronounced these words, a big red button popped up from the ground right in front of them.
"He ha, " he laughed "A button" he shouted "A big red button as they promised " he looked at Clara "I think we should press it, right? That´s what buttons are for, I guess"
Clara nodded and the Doctor was about to press it.
"Ok Clara, prepare yourself… 3…2…1…GEROONIMOOO"
He pressed the button, and then they suddenly dematerialized and materialized again in a similar, however bigger, cubic field.
"But" Clara looked everywhere confused "The room changed"
"No" the Doctor said, scanning all the area with his sonic screwdriver "We changed… don´t ask me how and why, I don´t know either"
"Hello sweetie" someone behind them said with a sensual voice tone.
