"She's gonna crash!" the Doctor yelled as he tried to get the TARDIS under control.
Rose was unsuccessfully trying to steady herself as she kept getting flung around.
"What's wrong with the TARDIS?" Rose asked over the tremendous noise.
"I think she hit a meteorite as we were taking off! But it's okay! I've got her stabilized enough so that we'll crash-land safely," he answered.
After more tumbling around inside the console room and lots of tremors, the TARDIS finally stopped.
The TARDIS started to fill with smoke, and the Doctor and Rose rushed out the door to escape.
They fell outside, coughing and gagging, smoke pouring out the doors behind them. The Doctor quickly shut the doors and slumped against the wooden frame of the TARDIS, catching his breath.
Unexpectedly, the TARDIS started to make the familiar take-off sound, and it started dematerializing in front of their eyes.
The Doctor quickly sat up and tried to open the doors before it disappeared, but they were locked.
"No no no no!" he cried as he pounded on the TARDIS with his fists. But then he was pounding on air as she vanished.
"Argh!" he exclaimed. "Very reliable, aren't you, old girl!"
He crossed his arms, pouting.
Rose was panicked. "Doctor where'd the TARDIS go? Are we stranded?"
"Ah, she'll come back eventually. She's wounded so she decided to take off to somewhere safe while she heals. Unfortunately, she left without us."
Rose looked at the Doctor, worried. "Somewhere safe? Is this place dangerous? Where are we anyway?"
The Doctor surveyed his surroundings. They seemed to be in a sort of tropical forest. An island, maybe. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the area. He frowned.
"What is it?" Rose asked.
"Well, we're somewhere off the coast of Australia. But I'm getting some very strange readings from my sonic. I don't recognize this place, either."
"Well I guess we gotta do what we always do, then," Rose told him.
The Doctor grinned. "Let's go explore then, shall we? Allons-y!"
