"Oh no, not again." The Doctor moaned as he grasped at the TARDIS railing he'd just fallen against. His spikey brown hair was even messier than usual, and he ran his fingers through it distractedly.
"What's happening?" Rose Tyler asked, pulling herself up from her new, unexpected, seat on the floor.
"Sort of a temporal storm in the Vortex. The TARDIS monitors should have warned me," He did a quick check as they were tossed about again, "Ah, I shouldn't have muted the warning system."
This was greeted by a pretty pair of brown eyes being rolled. He pushed a few levers, straining to reach across the consol.
"Rose, I can't quite reach the stabilization mechanism, and the brakes need to be pulled while the temporal antimat is pushed." He held onto the consul while digging around in his suit pocket for his glasses.
Rose was quick to take a place across from him, but had no idea how to help.
"You want what pulled when?"
"That button there, push it when I pull this, but first click those switches."
The Doctor waved at her section of the console before frantically diving for another lever that was suddenly switching to the wrong position. Both hands were full and a converse clad shoe was holding another button, making him rather distracted.
"Alright, push the button!" He declared.
The Doctor glanced up just in time to see Rose push the large yellow button next to the switch board he'd directed her two. He tried to call out a warning, but it was too late, the button was pressed and Rose Tyler disappeared in a shower of golden sparks.
"ROSE! Oh no."
He moved around the console, levers and temporal storm forgotten in his horror. A sharp sensation in his head caused him to stop, and he sighed in relief as an old, but new, memory surfaced. He pushed it away before moving back to weather out the storm and get his precious friend back.
