Electrifying
There was a flash of light followed by a roll of thunder. Rain turned the fields into mud, leaving trees standing amidst the soggy ground as islands of refuge for meandering cows. The Doctor shifted his arm slightly, the long metal pole in his hand wavering in the wind. "That better?" he called down from his perch in the top of a tall oak tree.
Brittany checked the gauge strapped to the side of the TARDIS. "I still don't think this is a good idea," she shouted back, "but we're ready to go. Lightning strike in twenty seconds."
The Doctor grinned at her, and stretched his arm out as far as it would go, raising his metal pole by about another inch.
Lightning speared down out of the sky, striking the top of the pole with a resounding boom. The Doctor yelled with pain as thousands of volts of electricity coursed through his body, completing the circuit, and he fell out of the tree in a shower of sparks.
Behind Brittany, the TARDIS began to hum with power but she ignored it, instead running over to check on the Doctor. "Are you alright?"
He blinked blearily at her, eyes slightly crossed. "Look at all the pretty purple lights. Pretty pretty puuuurple lights!" He giggled.
Brittany slapped her forehead in exasperation. "Oh, great. Just great."
