AN: Hey guys, so this chapter is more stuff, not lots of action, but I promise the next one will be more exciting. Also there's a little real life problems at the end. Environmental issues. You have been warned. Anyway, hope you enjoy either way. :)
"WHAT DID YOU DO!" I cried out to Donna. I tucked my head closer to my chest as an alien device went flying by my head, well... Many alien devices went flying by my head as the gravity shifted again and I was hanging upside down from the coral. I pulled myself closer to the decoration, hanging on for dear life and praying it was strong.
"I'm trying to fly the Tardis!" Donna explained in a high pitch voice, as the gravity shifted again and I was thrown against my lifeline, again.
"Brilliant job!" I muttered loud enough Donna heard. I wasn't angry, but it was fun to pull her strings.
"Oi!" Donna snapped, but she was clearly not feeling well. Maybe it was the fact the Tardis had somehow just become a roller-coaster with no seat belts.
"What did you press!" The Doctor yelped as something hit his hand that held to the bar at the edge of the main counsel.
"I don't know!" Donna cried as gravity swung around, nearly making me loose my stomach when I slapped back down against the coral.
"Stop pressing things!" I yelled as the colors of the Tardis lights began to change rapidly, making it almost like a dance floor.
"I'm trying to fix it!" She snapped again and the lights went out completely except for a slight haze of glowing yellow from the counsel. I heard crashes behind me as gravity swung around again, and I hoped they were okay.
"Donna!" I heard the Doctor sigh in annoyance. "Press the glowing green button." Donna must have done as he asked because the lights flickered back on. I heard the Doctor cry out a stop at Donna as she pressed another button, and suddenly there was no gravity. None at all. I pushed off from the coral, which was now sideways just as the Doctor pushed off his bar to run into Donna.
"Watch it!" She snapped and pushed him off, only to make herself flip backwards. The Doctor pressed some buttons before looking up at me. I was looking at him, but I was more excited to be floating then to wonder what he was doing. Even if I was focused on figuring it out, I rarely could. But I did have one question.
"Why'd you say not to touch that button, floating is awesome and a lot less dangerous." I pointed out and he shook his head.
"No, well, yes, by itself floating is cool, but unless I readied the Tardis, after gravity shifting so much in the poor old girl, I didn't know if she could handle it without destroying some of the side rooms. I don't want my wardrobe gone!" He said.
I couldn't follow the science, but I could understand why you wouldn't want your clothes gone, but then again, he must have like 100 pieces of the same suit, considering he never changed aside from a few accessories. I rolled my eyes at my thought and decided to just float around.
I could feel the Doctor's eyes on me, so I tried to do my best, but I'd never been without gravity, and I ended up running into the wall. I heard Donna stifle a laugh and I twisted in time to see her bump into a coral as she became too occupied with laughing at me. I grinned and she rolled her eyes, deciding to ignore me.
"Follow me, I'll show you the best room to float in. I made the blueprints myself." He beamed, very proud of himself as he floated to the stairway on the side. He opened the door into a hallway I hadn't seen yet. I recoiled, surprised.
"But, that was, that was a different hallway before! The walls were yellow, and, there were more doors!" I argued with the Tardis's nonsensical logic.
"Yea, it changes." The Doctor muttered, more concentrated on which door to go into. I looked to Donna for an explanation and she shrugged.
"Okay." I shook my head and pushed myself off the wall to reach the bar. I pulled myself strait and tried to walk, which of course didn't work. I ended up sideways with no understanding of how I got there, so I decided to just bounce off the wall.
"I think it's this door." The Doctor opened the door, and a roar echoed from within it. He slammed the door shut as something moved in the non-lit room.
"Nope." He smiled and pushed towards another door. I looked at Donna, a slightly scared look reflected in both our faces.
"Doctor, if after all the alien planets I survived, you kill me in here, I'll kill you." She warned and the Doctor beamed.
"I'm not stupid!" The Doctor shook his head as he opened another door and shut it just as fast.
"For a martian you're pretty stupid." She shook her head and I raised an eyebrow. Martian? I thought they went extinct a long time ago.
"Timelord. Time, Lord. I don't understand why you keep calling me a Martian! They, they have such a limited intelligence its extremely insulting to be called one!" The Doctor massaged his temples, and managed not to float into a wall.
"Martian." Donna smiled, looking up as though she was just studying something on the ceiling. The Doctor sighed and jumped to another door. He put his ear to it before opening it this time and a smile grew on his face.
"Here we are!" He opened the door and a glowing purple light spread from the room. I floated to the Doctor as I heard quiet music in the background. I didn't recognize it, but it had a very powerful feeling behind it, and I had a feeling it was from his home planet. "One at time." He smiled and I peaked into the room and felt my mouth drop. The Doctor pushed me into the room then closed the door quietly behind me, but I barely noticed. I was surrounded by stars. A nebula floated off to my right and I could see the colors in it dancing, like the comets that flew around my head. I looked at the planets, and noticed that in the closer ones I could see civilizations growing and falling as little cities popped out of the colors of the landmasses. I floated closer to the one on my right and it enlarged so much I felt as though I was flying through the stars as they blurred around me and the planet spanned across my vision until I had burst through the atmosphere around the planet and I had a birds eye view of the cities.
The sky was blue and the ground was grey, but I could see green tree's like sparkles throughout the city. I flew over the cities, stopping when I saw a huge statue of green in front of me, surprised by its largeness. I looked at the city, and watched as it crumbled and rebuilt itself. I looked away from the city and saw a stretch of blue water. I kicked on nothing and the blue below me became the only thing I could see. I looked down at the water as it flowed around me. I dove down into it, stopping my motion to just see the creatures as they swam around me. I wasn't wet even though I was surrounded by water. However as I watched the animals swim, I also watched them decay and less of them swam around me until there were very few left. I kicked back towards the surface and moved towards the other side of the world. The land mass was a strange shape, but the cities were beautiful. I could literally see the life in them as lifeforms walked through the streets.
"Earth." I heard a voice behind me and turned. The illusion was slightly shattered, but I still felt amazing, and I knew I could fall back into it, once the Doctor had said what he wanted. To my surprise he was laughing. "Ah, Tardis, you always did have a love for this old planet." He smiled as he looked at the city.
"What did you call it?" I asked.
"This is where humans came from, this is Earth. I'll take you there one day, maybe show you some of it's history. Well, knowing me you'll be dragged into the middle of a war. Aliens vs humans, aliens vs aliens. Humans vs humans even. I made this room because even though I can go to these planets, I don't think I could ever see it all. Time moves to quickly for that." He looked back at Earth and smiled sadly.
"What was in the water?" I asked and he looked over at me confused.
"Fish?" He asked and I shrugged.
"I've never seen those things before, but they were beautiful."
"Yea, you'll see some others like them on other planets, but not much longer on this one..." He looked down at the city below us and laughed.
"London, of course it's London." he beamed at it for another moment. "I'll let you continue, I have another copy of this room, Donna's in there now, I should probably go check on her. Don't want her arguing with an alien that's not actually there." He laughed and opened a door that wasn't there before.
I turned back to the planet below me and knew I'd ask to see this planet. It was full of life, even if the Doctor said it wouldn't be for long. I looked back into the stars above me and moved away from the planet, determined to see them all.
