This is a story that happens straight after 'Aftershock'.
Unfortunately at first I had no idea where this story was going. Until Adric finds the 'room'...
Well, I'll let you read it now...
Adric had been hanging there for an hour or so, and was still waiting. The Doctor and Aisha were absorbed in a memory replaying on the TARDIS console, and frankly Adric was getting bored. He wasn't sure though whether he could move, as he didn't want to be spotted by the Doctor. But he wasn't sure if he could stay still any more either.
He started to inch across the TARDIS' ceiling, slowly so that it wasn't obvious. And then it happened…
The TARDIS shook violently, sending him flying across the room. He might have been only soul and memory at this moment, but not even he could withstand that without being flung somewhere. He shot through the far wall and started to fall…
Aisha watched the memory dance before her eyes and had to laugh. Her father had been so funny when he was younger! What on earth had he been thinking wearing that scarf? As it ended and the Doctor urged her to play the next Aisha had to shake her head, each of the Forth Doctor's memories left her with a craving for jelly babies and quite frankly she couldn't be bothered to get up and get some out of the food machine. So she decided to load up one from his Sixth self's era ('I have to warn you, the coat I was wearing back then could hurt your eyes' The Doctor said), but as she clicked it…
Then the TARDIS shook violently, and as she and the Doctor went flying and the wire from her cyber ear yanked out from the console she saw the golden blur. She had no idea what it was until she saw it disappear through the wall, and then she hit the floor hard.
"That was a rough one!" the Doctor said, straight to his feet, "You okay down there?"
"Ouch…" Aisha mumbled.
He helped her up, and she wound the wire up into her ear again. The TARDIS hummed her protest to Aisha, having called up the memory they weren't now going to watch, and she sighed.
"Well you shouldn't have turned so sharply." She scolded it
The Doctor looked at her, he still wasn't used to his clone having a closer relationship with his TARDIS than he did. So when her eyes suddenly shot wide, and she darted out of the console room without a word he stared at the console.
"What did you tell her?" he asked
Adric had gone through the wall and due to some twisting timey-wimey stuff of the TARDIS other rooms' dimensions; he landed in a disused room. He landed on the dust covered floor and thanked whoever was in charge up there at he had no solid presence now. If the Doctor had happened to browse the rooms and found his imprint in the dust it really would have caused problems. He went back to his normal self and passed through the door, finding himself on a stretch of corridor unfamiliar to him. He looked around and wondered how on Alzarius he was going to get out of this one without getting caught.
"I have to find Aisha's room." He said
He ran at the wall in front of him and leapt in, he was thrown about by the dimensions again, being battered by the forces, torn this way and that… At this rate he'd be too dizzy to find Aisha!
Aisha had stopped at a crossroads; she looked around, listening for any signs of Adric. Silence. She looked up to the ceiling.
"You know who I'm looking for!" she yelled at the TARDIS, "Do you know where he is?"
The TARDIS hummed and whistled, Aisha shook her head.
"What do you mean you did but now he's gone? He might not be solid any more, but surely you can…"
Then the TARDIS whistled sharply, Aisha flinched then realised what she'd said.
"What do you mean 'NOOO!'?"
Adric had finally been spat out, and he landed on a thick carpet. As he got up his eyes registered little more than darkness, and he stumbled forwards. His hands were out in front of him, and he moved his feet slowly, his instincts making him although he no longer had a body to feel pain with. As his eyes began to grow accustomed to the darkness suddenly the light came on and he had to blink several times till his eyes stopped hurting. It was only then that he noticed the oddness of the room.
The walls didn't seem solid, almost like liquid glass, moving sluggishly and changing colour constantly. In the centre of the room was a weird column, like two glass bottles on top of each other… As he walked over the carpet ended and the walls started to turned from silvery to yellow and red… He stopped in front of the console. He wanted to touch… but what had he been told…
There's investigating Adric, and then's there's meddling…
The Doctor had already warned him about messing with technology he didn't understand… But he was just so curious… So he rested his spiritual hand on the bottle column. Instantly he knew he'd made a mistake…
Aisha was running down the corridor, directed by shrill whistling from the TARDIS when suddenly the TARDIS… fell silent. The lights went off and the engines that echoed through the corridors stopped… Then as suddenly as it had stopped everything started again, but everything was in chaos. The lights flashed on and off randomly, the engines stalled and the TARDIS began to throw itself about wildly. As Aisha struggled to keep her balance she heard the voice of the TARDIS. Except it wasn't the TARDIS…
"AARRRRRGH!" the voice screamed, "What's happened to me?"
Aisha tried to get down the corridor, heading the way she'd been told by the TARDIS but now the machine was bucking wildly back and forth. She could hear Martha's voice yelling out at the Doctor asking what was going on, and she could bet that V'int was trying to keep his balance long enough to use those eyes of his to evaluate the TARDIS. She had to take the chance. She had to speak to the new mind of the TARDIS…
"Adric! Stop!" she yelled, "You're going to crash!"
Yes, that's right. Adric has some how become the TARDIS!
How the flaming heck is this going to end? (Badly most likely)
