"Rose! We're here!" The Doctor called.

He looked intently at all of the read outs of the main console. They showed that while they had landed on the correct planet they were around 10 miles from his intended landing site and in the year 2002.

Oh well, close enough, he thought.

"Just coming!" she called from one of the many rooms of the TARDIS.

"What's taking you so long?" he said moving to the door andwaitingimpatiently for her to show up.

"I'm making a picnic."

"Fantastic. But our picnic spot is 10 miles away."

"10 miles?"

"Yeah, for some reason the TARDIS brought us here."

"Does it still look like a picnic spot?"

"I wouldn't know; I'm waiting for you to take a look first."

"Aw, ain't that sweet. So if there's a puddle or a tribe of angry aliens just outside the TARDIS I'll walk straight into 'em. You first." She said stepping into the main console room and dashing across to the door, a picnic basket swaying all the while.

"What you worring about? It's just fine." He said simply.

"Yeah, so when the TARDIS changes the destinationit usually ends up just fine, does it?"

"Of course." He said smugly. "We're still here aren't we?"

" 'Spose." She said grudgingly. "But you're still going first."

"Alright." He said moving forward and sticking his head out the door.

Rose could see the tantalising sight of the orange sky and smell a wondrous forest fragrance.

"Ah-ha." He saidin hisall-knowing Doctor-like way.

"What?" said Rose moving closer to try and get a better view.

"I know why the TARDIS brought us here." He said simply before opening both doors completely to reveal the picturesque scene he described before with the addition of a huge stone ring at least 40 feetin heightand a large mushroom-shaped thing made of the same material as the ring.

A material, that if you looked closely seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, almost the colour of blackened petrol.

"What the hell is that?" she said in awe.

They stepped forward, the Doctor closing the TARDIS doors behind him.

"That is an Ancient's travelling device, more commonly known as Chappai'i or Stargate." He said brimming with excitement.

"So how does it work?"

"Well…Ah-ha!" The Doctor yelled. He pointed as the inner ring of the 'Stargate' started spinning then stopped as a notch on the outer ring moved and lit up a symbol on the inner ring then spun again.,"Like that."

"Such good timing." Rose muttered to herself, watching as the ring did this five more times. Sometimes she wondered if the TARDIS got things wrong on purpose.

"Brace yourself." Said the Doctor.

But it was only just too late and a great wave of water came from the centre of the ring and Rose jumped and yelped in fright.

"Told you. It's a wormhole that connects two points in space, a gate at each point, allowing matter to pass from one side to the other in seconds."

Rose stared and the ever moving pool of horizontal water completely amazed.

"Should we be worried about what's coming through?"

But it was too late once again as the pool shimmered and two people stepped through to this world from somewhere unknown.


Authors note; this is a work in two parts with each set in different points of view of two shows, both Dr Who (9) and Stargate SG-1, this other part should you wish to read it is called 'The Stargate and the Blue Box'. NOTE this will mainly be an SG-1 fiction at the moment then hopefully move into Dr Who
