AN:
Hello it's me again.
Second chapter up and the third will be up
soon. Hope you like it.
Oh and Billie is the name of Roses little
brother, which I know is a little ironic considering Billie Piper
plays Rose but I thought it fitted the character quite well and his
birthday had no relation to Billie Pipers birthday what so ever.
Hope
you like it.

Chapter Two: All aboard the TARDIS.
Martha watched as the Doctor jumped round the console in his usual manner, flicking switches and pressing buttons. Sometimes she wondered if he did all this just for the sake of passing some time. Nine hundred and three years old and she would assume things got a little bit boring sometimes. But then he had a TARDIS that could take him anywhere in the universe, wouldn't that occupy him instead whenever he became bored.
"And then I told them, I said to them that they needed to get away from there. Because if they didn't then everything would explode, 'course they didn't take any notice what so ever. So the entire planet went boom! Until someone very clever: not as clever as me of course, managed to stop the bomb by using a Banana. Can you believe that? A Banana managed to save the universe. It was… it was like watching something out of a cheesy film." The Doctor ended his story, which he'd been explaining for the last twenty minutes. Martha was glad Donna had gone to make tea, at least then she'd have missed the long and miraculous story about a Banana saving the universe.
"Doctor?" Martha asked looking at him seeing him go quiet all of a sudden, now that wasn't quite right. He'd stopped all of a sudden, and was just staring at the console.
He looked up at her and grinned before setting off round the console once more in his usual manner. Martha chuckled "I'll go see if Donna needs any help" Martha said before wandering down the hall and into the kitchen. Considering they were on an Alien space ship… well sort of. The Kitchen was pretty Earth like; Martha did sometimes wonder if the TARDIS did that for of the companions. Make kitchens that would accommodate their needs, then again the Doctor might just like it that way.
It didn't take long to start laughing when she saw where Donna was, she was standing on a chair, on top of the kitchen units and had what looked like a very large bunch of Bananas in her hand. "Donna…" Martha started looking at her, "What are you doing?"
"Well if 'e thinks 'he's gonna make me drink a Banana smoothie first thing in the morning 'e has another thing comin'" Donna said, her London tones coming out well.
"Well don't let him catch you doing that, besides the Health and Safety risk he's not gonna like you hiding his Bananas" Martha replied laughing again as he turned the kettle on.
"Well that's just tough then isn't it?" Donna said grabbing some cups from the counter.
Martha laughed again waiting for the kettle to boil she'd only been back on the TARDIS a few days ago. So far it'd proved to be quite a funny trip, Donna and the Doctor got on but once one started the other did so the amounts of disagreements and arguments were at the highest peek. But then something would happen and they'd get along smoothly. Donna was certainly something completely different to Martha, but then that was good. They certainly got along with each other.
"You know that was only a joke Donna" Martha replied, indicating to the Banana smoothie incidence earlier in the day.
"Oh yeah I know that," Donna replied laughing "So hiding the Bananas… did he play jokes on you when you were here before?"
"Yeah he did… occasionally. He hid a coat of mine once… then the TARDIS threw water over his head."
"Oh I bet that was hilarious!" Donna said pouring some tea for her "The look on his face was priceless"
"Certainly a mock the Doctor moment…" Martha replied laughing again. "He's great though isn't he?"
Donna nodded and smiled at her, "Yeah, although I don't… I'm not here because he looks handsome"
"Oh yeah I know," Martha replied quickly "I wasn't… I mean…" Martha cut off as a large bang sounded from down the hall. They were thrown to the floor when a large bump surrounded them. The cups they'd needed for the tea were now smashed on the floor and the kettle had fallen off the side sending boiling water all over the floor. The room was shaking; cupboards were opening sending the pans flying from inside them. The lights flickered off plunging the room into darkness; the TARDIS had obviously lost its power wherever they were. The banging had stopped, as had the bumps. They'd obviously landed somewhere.
"You alright?" Martha asked getting up off the floor.
"Yeah I think so no damage, you?" Donna asked taking her offered hand and getting up off the floor.
"You two ok?!" The Doctor said bursting through the doors to the kitchen; he was holding the sonic out in front of him obviously to aid his vision as all of the lights were still out. This was probably not necessary considering he was a nine hundred and three year old Time Lord who had other abilities that humans only dreamed about.
"I'm fine" Donna replied looking round at Martha who was looking at her arm.
"Martha?" the Doctor asked quickly "You hurt?"
"Burnt my arm on the water from the kettle, nothing serious" Martha replied.
"I'll have a look when we get the lights back on" The Doctor replied going out the room and going down to the console room yet again. The control panel was sparking slightly.
"What's happened?" Martha asked looking at the console, feeling a small sort of sadness
"We fell through the void, and there must have been a crack in Time and Space. That's why there was all the turbulence a minute ago. But that's the thing there shouldn't be a hole in the vortex, everything was fine. I run checks on these things all the time, it should have detected something like that. But it didn't, so we're here. And we're probably floating through the middle of nothingness. That's what the void is nothing, there's nothing to it, no land, no light just… nothing"
"But we've landed" Donna said going to the door, "We've got to be somewhere to have stopped moving completely"
"Well yes, but that something might be nothing" the Doctor said looking at her, "Go on, open the doors but just don't step out until you know it's safe to" He said going round the console, the hum of the TARDIS was shallow and quiet, quieter than it had been before now, as if it was only just there.
"If it's nothing out there, then how would we breathe? Surely there'd be no oxygen," Martha asked looking at the Doctor. "We can't go outside."
"The TARDIS would keep us safe," the Doctor replied smiling at her "We're safe."
"I don't care." Martha said.
"Oh that's what I like about you Miss Jones. Always make the best out a bad situation… not much different from Rose really." The Doctor chuckled grabbing his coat and going to the door standing next to Donna. "You can always see the good in things. Like when we were on the Moon and we stepped out onto the veranda. You didn't care if all the Oxygen was going to go you just thought it was a beautiful sight. Defiantly signs of a novice there…" The Doctor replied admirably.
"What am I then, the invisible Ginger?!" Donna exclaimed, walking out the door and looking out over a hillside in some sort of remote island.
"Well, we're not in nothing Doctor" Martha said laughing slightly as she followed Donna out.
Donna laughed, "I think that's the first time he's been wrong"
"He's not gonna like that" Martha replied laughing gently.
"Too bad for his ego" Donna replied looking up at the sky, "Oh reckon I need my hat?"
"Good to see you again Doctor" the voice of Peter Tyler came from behind them. "But it would be nice to have your ship removed from on top of my Car"
"Ah…" was all the Doctor had the nerve to respond with.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The Doctor was now trying to work out how they'd managed to fall through the void without it being detected. He'd had a very long and quiet discussion with Pete about something. Martha was sure the words "Void, Rose and Banana" had come up, or at least she thought she'd heard them in their conversation somewhere. But all he could get was that there was nothing wrong with anything, which really doesn't help matters. For all he knew there could be something very wrong with it, which would explain how they'd managed to get through into this universe. Just neither he nor Torchwood could find anything wrong except some strange rift activity which had stopped a few days previously.
"What are you doing here Pete?" The Doctor asked looking round at him from his place up near some controls. "You didn't come because of the Rift activity did you? There's something else isn't there?"
"No I came here because of the Rift activity. Things have been coming through the void a lot recently"
"What kind of things?" The Doctor asked looking at him, Pete only stayed silent. "Pete, if there's a problem with the rift then we need to know now so we can sort it. Because if we don't then two universes are at stake" The Doctor said looking at him, "And I don't know about you, but I'm not going to cause genocide of two universes if I can help it. Now tell me what's been coming through."
"Metal, small bits of metal, nothing that could ever have been produced on Earth." Pete replied, "People started finding them in the village, but when we've gone to get them they've vanished. They just vanish all of a sudden before anyone can pick them up."
"Where do they come through… and why Jersey? Surely if things are coming through the rift then they'd go to Cardiff. Cardiff has the rift running right the way through it…"
"Yes I know. That's another reason we're confused." Pete replied watching as the Doctor looked at the controls again. "We did however manage to recover one piece of the metal before is disappeared"
"Martha, Donna!" the Doctor shouted looking round for his current companions.
"Yeah?" Donna asked looking round the door. "What is it?"
"You found something?" Martha asked looking round the same door.
"Take the sonic," the Doctor asked throwing it to them letting one of them catch it. "Pete do you know where this metal is?"
"Down the corridor third door on the left" he replied.
There was silence in the room as Donna and Martha stared at the Doctor, awaiting more instructions.
"Well go on then, hop to it you two down the hall third door on the left." The Doctor replied laughing as he watched the two women disappear down the corridor. "Now then Mr Tyler, where did these unusual sightings begin to appear?"
"The bottom of the cliffs…" Pete replied seeing the Doctor run out of the room his long fawn coat swinging out behind him before Pete could do anything to stop him. "Well…" Pete thought to himself, "That's the Doctor for you…"
