The TARDIS was rocking around as usual, sparks flying everywhere, wires falling off of the places they were supposed to be, noise EVERYWHERE. Rose smiled. Perfect.

The Doctor laughed in delight, punching buttons and hitting things with mallets and pulling levers all the while absolutely spewing his techno-babble. Inside though, he was afraid, excited, confused, roused, nervous, and this weird melty feeling the Doctor liked to call love.

Rose had come out wearing a shirt that made him want to destroy his Time Lord dignity completely. Plus, she had converse on! (Pink, of course). He knew that his best friend would probably reject him, because he was a weirdo with a big blue box. She already had her own weirdo, Ricky the Idiot. But it was worth a shot!

The TARDIS landed. The Doctor opened the door with a creak and peaked out. He dropped his mouth. "Oh no." Instead of being greeted by blissfully empty magnificent beaches and forests, he had landed right smack in the middle of the American Revolution.

There were two sides, each pointing muskets at each other. One side was wearing red coats and the other side blue. They stopped the firing and stared at the blue thing that had randomly appeared in the middle of their battle. A person in a red coat said, "What in the blazes is that?"

The Doctor walked out awkwardly while saying, "Hello, I'm the Doctor, and this is my companion Rose." Rose heard her name, went scurrying out, and wiggled her fingers up as a "Hello!" She leaned over to the Doctor as the men whispered among themselves. "Where are we?"

"Definitely not Florencia, I'll tell you that."

The two sides had stopped their talking and each ran to get to the blue box. "Food!" One side said. The other screamed, "Weapons!" They clashed in a mini battle just outside the TARDIS!

Rose and the Doctor could not fight their way through to get back inside the TARDIS, which was now surrounded by men. The Doctor, being taller and stronger than Rose, got there first. Rose was still a little far from the TARDIS, and a wave of men kept bringing her out further, like the ocean.

"Doctor!" she screamed. Rose began to hustle her way through until she elbowed a man wearing a red coat in the stomach. "Oi!" he yelled.

"I'm General Gage, I am! Who do you think you are?!"

"Rose Tyler, now let – me – through!"

The Doctor screamed, "Rose!" but General Gage had already seized her by the arms and hit her over the head with his musket. She went limp and he dragged her away. "Rose!"

The Doctor ran inside the TARDIS. He shooed all of the mesmerized people out, still pointing their fingers and saying "Blimey." Then he pushed a button rather harder than he needed to before a loud noise emitted from the box.

He ran out and all of the men had stopped what they were doing. "Come on then, move your lazy bums!" The Doctor screeched. "I'm looking for a girl, wearing pink, blonde hair, unconscious, kidnapped by a man in a red coat, look around!" The blue coats hastily obeyed, while the red coats (which the Doctor recognized a the Loyalists) protested.

He pointed at the TARDIS. "You people, obviously, don't understand what's going on here and probably never will. This is way beyond you, and if you knew everything behind this –," He waved wildly in the direction of the TARDIS, "you'd have thought you'd gone mad. But I will tell you this. If you aren't going to obey me, then you have the entire Oncoming Storm coming your way and you are not going to like it. After everything I just said, do you think you are going to disobey me?"

The Loyalists protested again. The Doctor groaned. He mumbled, "I just gave a whole monologue, come on!"

One of the Loyalists shouted, "Why are you any more important than us?"

In response, The Doctor opened the TARDIS door. And in response to that, everyone ran away. It was too bad that Rose was too far away for any soldier to possibly find her.

Rose woke up with her head screaming. It was hard for everything to come into focus, but it didn't matter, because all there was to see was a brown sack over her head.

General Gage was carrying her on the back of a horse, and the ride was none too comfy. There were rocks and bumps and hills and all of the stuff that made her ride almost unbearable.

"We're almost there." He said in a snide voice. "I'm afraid you're going to have to like it there. Otherwise, that's too bad."
