A/N - Sorry about the short chapter. I've had a difficult day and I didn't have much write in me. This is the best I could do. I'll make tomorrows chapter extra long to make up for it.

Disclaimer - Nope, Nada, Zilch.

"Mail?" Rose asked him again. The Doctor seemed to be unaware that she was talking for he was too entranced in what he was looking at. "Doctor?" she called, walking up behind him and tapping him on the shoulder. He jumped at the contact and spun around, his smile falling from his face.

"What? Ah yes, mail." He smiled again, admiring the glowing box in his hands. "It's a Time Lord emergency messaging system. In an emergency, we'd wrap up thoughts in psychic containers and send them out through time and space." He explained as he ran up to the console. "Anyway, there's a living Time Lord sstill out there, and it's one of the good ones!"

"Doctor, what if this is just a delayed message? Or a message form another species?" Rose asked him softly. She knew he'd be crushed if this was a false lead.

"Yea, you said there weren't any other Time Lords left." Rory said, adding to her point.

"There are no Time Lords left anywhere in the universe. But the universe isn't where we're going. Besides, I think I know the things made by my own people." The Doctor said harshly, looking directly at Rose.

"I'm sure that's what you thought before you saw the Genesis Ark." Rose retorted coldly. The Doctor glared back at her for a second while Amy and Rory watched the exchange. Both were too scared to get between them

"See the snake?" he asked, pointing to the image of a snake eating its own tail. "The mark of the Corsair. Fantastic bloke. He had that snake as a tattoo in every regeneration." He said, reminiscing. He turned back to the controls, working on pulling them out of the universe. "Didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo. Or herself, a couple of times. Ooo, she was a bad girl." He said with a wicked grin as he flipped a lever. "Sorry." He added quietly out of impulse when he saw Rose's disapproving look. They were all thrown around the console room when the TARDIS gave a loud bang and spun this way and that.

"What is happening?" Rory shouted, sounding very tired of saying hello to the floor with his face.

"We're leaving the universe!" the Doctor yelled back, struggling to stay upright against the console.

"How can you leave the universe?" Amy asked, holding onto one of the bars surrounding the console for support.

"With extreme difficulty." The Doctor replied, flipping switches as he ran around the console. "Right now I'm burning up TARDIS rooms to give us some welly. Goodbye swimming pool. Adios, scullery. Sayonara, squash court seven." The group screamed as the ride got rougher. The Doctor in joy, everyone else, in fear. They landed with a sizeable thump, everyone was still to make sure that it was safe before standing.

"Okay, where are we?" Amy asked slowly.

"Outside the universe." The Doctor grinned. "Where we've never gone before." The Doctor looked at Rose, who also had a mad grin on her face. Neither one could get enough of the unknown. There was a hum as the TARDIS lights began to dim before fully going out.

"Is that meant to happen?" Rory asked, worried as he made his way over to Amy.

"The power, it's draining. Everything's draining." The Doctor said, disbelieving. "But it can't. That's, that's impossible." He whispered.

"Why is that?"

"It's as if the Matrix, the soul of the TARDIS, has just vanished. Where would it go?" he wondered, reaching out to stroke the time rotor.
