The Rani pushed her fingers through her long black hair. Her eyes were open, but she could not see. Her body seemed intact, but numb. She thrust both hands forward but felt nothing. She appeared to be floating in endless black. Slightly worried and deeply perplexed her mind sprinted a million meters per hour trying to evaluate and determine a solution, or in the least find out what is occurring.
Without notice she felt a hand slap across her face. She gasped and found herself laying upright in a ultra colorful and bright environment. The Rani choked a moment, sputtering for air. Her eyes moved up to find the Doctor had her propped up in his lap. It was his hand that struck her.
"Rani...! It's okay now, correct your breathing. Everything is fine," the Doctor quietly soothed, patting her cheek.
The Rani sat up slowly, attempting to gather her bearings, murmuring slowly and softly, "Doctor.. What the devil...? Where are we? The TARDIS..."
"I am not sure. I know just about as much as you on this one," the Doctor replied gravely, gazing at her concerned.
"How long was I out?" the Rani inquired while standing up.
"Only a few hours. I was worried the sudden warp injured you, but your body functions gave reassuring signs. What exactly did you press on that stattenhiem remote of yours and where did it make off to?"
There was something infinity odd about this planet they found themselves on, the Rani noticed early. The ground was covered with small blue and yellow vegetation akin to grass and the atmosphere was a light green with wispy purple clouds, yet still breathable. Everything around seemed to be incredibly colorful and somewhat hurtful to the eyes. Tall thin conifer trees of midnight black were littered randomly in small supply. The Rani studied these things intensely trying to recall any familiarizing signs of recognition to name this planet.
"Rani?" the Doctor poked.
Springing from her thoughts, she answered the questions she only heard as a faint echo a moment ago, "I simply called my TARDIS to pick us up. I pressed nothing unusual. It was still in my hand though.. I don't recall dropping it."
The Doctor glared at her and slowly deliberately spoke, "You told your TARDIS to be in the exact same location as my TARDIS huh? Very wise Rani, very wise. I can imagine what kind of things that can cause, or I can just look around."
"You clearly had some other option up your sleeve Doctor!" the Rani snapped.
In the midst of visual surveying of their surroundings, their eyes met and locked. Slightly irritated and yet exceedingly worried and confused, both realized that they were stuck in this together. This surely will be a headache. The Rani thought.
"Well, no sense in standing about waiting for something to fall from the sky! We need to find this situation a solution!" the Doctor smiled and skipped forward.
"Ever the optimist!" the Rani sighed, following him, then adding with a laugh, "Well, I guess you should be since I am here, huh?"
The Doctor spun around and stared at her laughingly, continuing to walk, only backwards, "Oh Rani, do you honestly think I would be hopelessly lost without you?"
Before she could answer, a solid brown eyeball the size of hippopotamus fell directly in between them.
