"Where are we going today, Doctor?" said Rose as she walked around the main panel.
The Doctor ran around pressing buttons and pulling levers leaving Rose to talk to herself. Rose just watched in awe like she always did.
Finally he said, "Today, we are going to the beautiful planet of-"
The Doctor was cut off when the TARDIS started jerking around and almost lit on fire. Rose held on to the nearest thing she could find while the Doctor tried to fix whatever was happening.
"What's happening?" shouted out Rose while she held on to dear life.
"I don't know! It's like she's trying to-" The Doctor was once again cut off when the TARDIS drop landed where ever here was. Both Rose and the Doctor were thrown to the floor hard with a loud thump. The Doctor jumped up in an instant and tried to figure out what was happening. Rose sat up, scared to get up for fear of what might happen next.
"Nothing's responding.." said the Doctor while messing with every possible switch, lever, or button.
"Well after that fall, I'm surprised we're responding." replied Rose as she walked to the TARDIS doors to find out where they were.
"Rose, don't open those doors. We don't know where we are. Outside those doors may be an army of aliens wanting to kill you on sight. We might still be traveling in the time vortex, you can't even imagine what will happen if you manage to fly out somehow."
"Doctor, will you calm down? I'll take by chances; besides, we landed. Where were you through all that?"
Seeing he had no power over his stubborn Rose, he was quiet as she opened the doors. Standing two feet away from the TARDIS was Jackie Tyler.
"Well, almost as bad as a homicidal alien army."
"Oh, shut up Doctor."
"Rose!" said Jackie as she ran to hug her daughter, barely leaving her with any air to breathe. Rose, worried by how tight she hugged her, asked her:
"Mum, is everything alright?"
"Oh, of course it is. I just haven't seen you in six months, I have a right to miss you."
Behind Rose, the Doctor stepped out and looked around,
"Now, him I don't miss."
The Doctor gave Jackie a look and replied, "Lovely to see you too, Jackie."
"Oi, watch it you two."
Jackie squeezed Rose's hand and asked her,
"What are you two doing here?" Rose looked at the Doctor for answers but he looked just as clueless as she was.
The Doctor shrugged, stroked the TARDIS and said "I'm not sure. It's like she's completely shut down. She sort of.. defaulted, and landed here."
Rose wondered why the TARDIS would default to her home, but she found it best not to argue with the Doctor.
"Well, why don't you come inside for a cuppa tea? You can tell me about where you've been."
"Sure. Doctor, you coming?"
"Nah, I'll just stay here and try to figure out what's happening with her."
