I quickly started up the TARDIS's engines much to the Doctor's delight. I watched as the ship seemed to come to life and I felt an overwhelming sense of joy. It had been far too long since I had traveled and the traveling bug had certainly found me. I couldn't remember the names of half the buttons, levers, and other gadgets that were needed to fly the TARDIS, but I definitely knew which ones to push for that had never left me. I turned around and looked at the Doctor who had made himself quite comfortable. "You're not going to help me fly her?"

He shook his head. "No. I've been flying her forever it's about time I got a break. Speaking of which you forgot something." I watched his eyes shift down to a large lever which was situated below the control panel.

"Oh fine." I pushed it forward and the mechanical wheezing noise commenced. "You're going to regret leaving the brake on like that." I turned around just in time to see him finish mocking me. Before I could say anything the TARDIS jolted forward violently the sound of it scrapping against metal could be heard coming from outside. The Doctor jumped up trying to keep his balance as the TARDIS seemed to tumble out of control. "WHAT'S GOING ON!" I shouted gripping on to the handrails for support.

"WE'RE CRASHING THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON! THANKS FOR REMINDING ME WHY I NEVER LET WOMEN DRIVE MY TARDIS!"

My jaw dropped and for the first time I wanted nothing more than to smack him right upside his pretty little head. "LOOK WHO'S TALKING! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO FAILED YOUR FLYING TEST!"

He whipped around a look of anger crossed his face. "HOW? HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!" I opened my mouth to speak only to be hushed. "We've stopped." He raced towards the door opening it and breathing a sigh of relief. "Well at least you didn't park us next to a dumpster which would be just about your speed. Come have a look then."

I walked down the stairs and poked my head out the door. "It's the..."

"Spascia Spaceport III located beneath the city of Leporis Prime on the planet Qetesh known for it's rather maze like corridors."

"Do you always do that?"

"I can't help it that I'm clever."

"And long winded." I rolled my eyes and looked around the spaceport becoming more familiar to me. "I came here once with my parents. It was a lot more crowded back then. Where is everyone?"

The Doctor shrugged rolling back on his heels. "I don't know and I don't really care."

"Liar."

"I've helped enough besides places like these are bound to go out of style sooner or later I mean how much fun can running down a bunch of metal corridors be anyways?" We stared at each other for a moment each of us thinking the exact same thing. "Last one to the middle is a rotten Time Lord."

I gasped as he rushed off seemingly intent on beating me. "NOT FAIR!" I giggled and ran after him the tail of his long trench coat leading the way as we ran down one corridor to the next. Suddenly the lights began to flicker on and off making it very hard to see. I tried my best to keep up, but once the lights came on and I rounded the corner I saw that he was gone. "Doctor?"

The Doctor stopped taking note of the odd way the electricity was acting. "Hmmm that's not right." He exclaimed before turning around to face me. "Ann?" He whipped out his sonic screwdriver to take a reading of the place where I once stood. "This thing must be broken. It says you're still right here. ANNIE! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" The lights began to act up again and the sound of television static pierced the Doctor's ears which he covered immediately. He crouched down on the floor before catching a small sign of light out of the corner of his eye. "What?" He mumbled turning his head and staring at the thing before him. It was television static alright, but in the shape of a human figure. He stood up as the sound began to cease and the person began to come into view almost as if someone was tuning the channel on a TV set. "Annie!"

I stood there and watched as the supposed picture of the Doctor continued to become clearer until it was obvious that he was there in the flesh. I threw my arms around him in a tight embrace I could feel his hearts beating against my own. "I thought you were gone!"

He pulled away and reached up to touch my face only to find that the strange occurrence was happening yet again. "No, no, no STAY WITH ME!"

I watched as he began to fade and I could no longer feel his touch. "Doctor what's happening?"

"Don't worry! I'm going to fix this!" Those were the last words he said to me before he disappeared and the lights completely went out. I waited hoping he would come back just as he had mere seconds ago, but the seconds turned into minutes and that's when I knew he was really gone.

Here I was once again scared and alone in the pitch black darkness of the corridors. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my own sonic screwdriver given to me when I was very young. It was pink with a purple light two of my favorite colors, though I'm sure the Doctor would find it's coloring to be completely repulsive. The thought of him standing there moaning about how pink my screwdriver was caused a smile to cross my face and it gave me the push I needed to find him. With only my purple light to guide me I began making my way deeper into the heart of the spaceport or so I thought. It wasn't easy finding which way was the right one after all they all looked the same. For all I knew I could have been going around in circles for hours. Then I heard a child's voice singing in the distance. I stood there unsure if I should follow it or keep going my own way. The last time I followed any one's voice I ended up stuck on Mount Perdition for 3 days so going my way seemed to be the better option of the two, but the voice could not be ignored. I followed it and with every step I took the voice became louder and I became closer to unlocking the mystery of the spaceport. I turned the corner and stopped the voice was no longer singing. "Hello?" The voice that called back was completely unexpected.

"ANNIE!"

"DOCTOR!" I turned into what should have been yet another corridor expecting to see him standing in front of me. "Doctor?" I walked into the tiny room which housed a single wooden chair promptly placed in front of an old worn out television set. "Where are you?"

"I'm in the telly! Well you're in the telly. Oh I don't know just..." My eyes widened as I stared at the black and white image of the Doctor that was being projected onto the television screen. "Listen to me whatever you do, do not turn off the television. There's some sort of strange energy coming from it, but I don't know what it is." I pointed my sonic screwdriver at the television set more then willing to try and discover what type of energy it was emitting. "Hold on what's that? Is that your screwdriver?"

"Yeah it is. Why?"

"It's pink."

"Hold on how can you see in color? The image I have of you is only in black and white."

"I don't know, but why pink? I mean really of all the colors in the universe Cerulean, Gold, Orange, why pink?"

"Now is not the time to argue about why pink!"

"Right now I'm not sure what's going on just yet, but I have an idea..." Before he could finish the child who had been singing threw himself in between me and the television scaring me half to death. I tripped over the chair and landed on my back staring up at the ghastly looking person that stood before me.

His face was twisted with anger, his face covered in sores. He then began yelling out uncontrollably. "HE'S MINE! YOU CAN'T TALK TO HIM! LEAVE HIM ALONE! HE'S MINE! YOU CAN'T TALK TO HIM! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

I covered my ears as he continued to shout the same repetitive thing causing me to go slightly insane. "Doctor make him stop!"

"HE'S MINE! YOU CAN'T TALK TO HIM! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

"DOCTOR!"

And then everything went completely silent.
