AN: This story follows the events in 'The Current Calamity,' so it would be wise to read that first. Many of the chapters are already written and will be uploaded periodically. Thank you for reading and please review!
Intro
Mae leaned against the TARDIS door frame, watching as the Doctor said his last good-byes. The native species of planet Tesla were more than happy to give the Amasdy a home in their technology, at least that's what the Doctor assured Mae. The Teslans' beaks made it difficult for her to tell one emotion from the other.
The Doctor made a final ceremonial bow to the Teslan leader before entering the TARDIS. "So, where to next?" he asked as he approached the center console and began fiddling.
"Next?" Mae asked, standing next to him. "So this wasn't just a one-trip ticket?"
"Of course not! If it was I would have said so. And even then, I'd probably change my mind later. When I fancy someone I keep them around."
"Oh! You fancy me, eh?" Mae turned around and leaned on the console.
"I fancy everyone I travel with," the Doctor said seriously, wanting to avoid any misunderstandings.
"There are others?" Mae asked. "How many?"
"Well, at the moment two." The Doctor walked around the equipment to play a game of pinball on the other side. "They're in Space Florida. We'll pick them up in about five days."
"And they won't mind me tagging along?"
The Doctor smiled at her. "My spaceship- my rules." He flamboyantly shot the pinball out of its socket and got a high score. "Now, as I was saying… Where to next?"
"Well, there is one place I've always wanted to see…"
"Name it and we'll be there in two heartbeats. From the beginning of the universe to the end, and anywhere in between!"
"Earth."
The Doctor stopped his fiddling and stared at her. "Earth? Are you sure? I've sort of already been there…"
"You said anywhere I wanted, and I've never been to the original Earth. I've only heard stories about it. It sounds so… alien."
The Doctor sighed. "Fine. I'll put the TARDIS on shuffle. That should keep it somewhat exciting."
"Don't you ever get tired of excitement?" Mae asked, stepping away from the console so as not to get in the Doctor's way.
He looked sideways at her and replied, "Never."
