"Allons-y!" The Doctor and Martha stepped out of the TARDIS side by side. The Doctor looked around confusedly. He walked around and listened to the ground. "Yep, this is definitely Earth…"

Martha complained, "I thought we were going to Midnight! Sapphire waterfalls, anti-gravity restaurants—"

"Yeah, but for some reason we ended up here," the Doctor cut Martha off. "Well, the TARDIS always brings us somewhere for a reason….Let's stay and find out that reason! Well, off we go!"

"I wanted to bathe in the golden spas! Please, Doctor! Let's get back into the TARDIS and go to Midnight! It's made of DIAMONDS!" The Doctor dragged Martha into the situation against her will.

"Seems like it's modern day Cardiff. We're probably here to refuel….Well, we did refuel not so long ago, so there must be another reason."

"Doctor—"

"Maybe it's the rift!" The Doctor walked up to a random passerby. "Have there been sightings of anything…" He stopped and tried to come up with the right word. "…strange around here recently?"

"DOCTOR—"

"Oi! I'm in the middle of something!" He returned to speaking to the stranger. "I'm sorry about that. Anyway, has there?"

"Uhh, no?" The stranger replied.

"Are you sure?" The Doctor was eager to figure his predicament out.

"DOCTOR!" The Doctor spun around and looked. His mouth became the shape of a lowercase "o". "I think I know what brought us here."

"Blimey! How can I get rid of you?" The Doctor remarked. "The Time Vortex surely should of killed you when you hung onto the TARDIS."

Captain Jack Harkness smiled,"Doctor, I've told you before. I can't die!" He turned to Martha and said, "Looking good, Jones!"

"Not time for flirting," the Doctor inserted. They all burst laughing. "Now anyway, why do you need us?"

"I don't need you. You need me."
