Ch 6 - Flying Through the Air

They placed the Doctor gently on the floor of the Tardis with Rose holding him in her lap. Donna grabbed Wilf and hugged him, relieved to see that he was ok. "Rose" Donna said looking down at the woman sitting on the floor. She was wearing the same outfit she had on when she took her mind to the parallel world.

"Donna" Rose said nodding her head and looking at the Doctor sadly. She gently placed his head on to Wilf's hands as he sat down while she stood up to help Jack.

Jack walked in backwards still shooting at the Daleks in front of him, once he was in Rose shut the Tardis doors. They all looked at each other frantically.

"There's more coming!" Donna shouted looking at the Daleks approaching the Tardis from the screen in front of her.

"We can't let them take the Tardis" Jack said running over to see the screen. He looked down at the Doctor, Wilf looked up at them. "What do we do?"

"We fly the Tardis" They heard Rose say from across the room.

"He taught me how to steer it" Donna said looking down at the various controls "I never saw how he started it, there's not like a key is there?" she asked walking around the console looking for someplace a key would go seeing nothing but buttons, gears, levers and various other devices.

Rose walked over to the console placed her hand on top of it gently and closed her eyes. No one but her could see the soft light come from her hand. She felt the familiar warmness roll through her body, she breathed it in. She opened her eyes and they all looked on in shock as they heard the engine of the Tardis start up.

"How did you…what did you…?" Donna asked unable to finish her sentence as she watched the Daleks fade from the screen.

"I asked" Rose replied walking over to the Doctor.

"You asked who?" Donna asked grapping the controls praying she'd remember how to do everything correctly.

"The Tardis" Rose answered.

"You asked the ship?' Donna asked confused. "How did you do that?"

"Politely" Rose answered with a little smile.

"This…is…alive?" Wilf asked amazed. "A space ship that's alive!"

Rose smiled at the old man, happy to see an innocent face see the wonders of the universe for the first time. Jack smiled along with her happy to see that his Rose was still in there somewhere, he walked over to help her take the Doctor to his bed so they could make him more comfortable and try to find out what happened.

Donna was hitting the controls gently afraid she was going to hurt the Tardis, so she left the Doctor's hammer leaning against the side. She'd seen him use it plenty of times, but she figured she was new driver and Tardis might not like her using it. She was also trying to stand up right and her grandfather was holding on the chairs behind her because the box was flying in all different directions. She hoped that Rose and Jack were able to make it to the Doctor's room without going into any walls; she didn't want to injure the Doctor even more.

"Who…are….they…" Wilf asked trying to keep his balance as the box tipped back and forth and side to side "Rose…and…Captain…Jack…Harkness?"

"Rose is the Doctor's…well…I…don't…know what she…is…to him." Donna said hitting even more controls. There were many times she wanted to hit her car for not working right but she wouldn't want to drive the thing that way. Whoever invented flying these things was mental she thought to herself. "He…lost her to…a parallel world" She continued trying to get as many words out as fast as she could. "I don't…know about…the other one…never seen…him before"

"He traveled…with him…too…the Doctor" Wilf said.

"Oh…he does…like traveling…with pretty people…doesn't he" She said mostly to herself.

"…..Rose…do you…copy…"

They both looked around at the sound of static and then a voice.

"It talks too?" Wilf asked looking around at the walls.

"No, I don't think so…it never said anything before" Donna said trying to find out where the voice was coming from. She saw a tiny white device on the floor. "There it's coming from that" She said pointing to it, then hitting the button on the left then the right. "It's Rose's, it must've...fallen out of...her ear"

Wilf walked up to it bent down and picked the device up between his two fingers and stumbled over to show Donna grabbing the corner to hold on too when the Tardis suddenly lurched forward and slowed down.

"Sorry" Donna said pulling on the lever again much more slowly.

"I never…got the point of making things smaller." He said holding the device gently afraid if he squeezed too hard it would break.

"Rose…I repeat…do...you…copy" the voice said again.

Wilf held the device up to his mouth. "Hello" he said into it.

"Who is this?!" the voice shouted.

"WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER!" shouted a frantic female voice.

Startled Wilf held the device out to Donna. "Rose is fine…the Doctor he's hurt…she's with him" she said guessing the woman was Rose's mother.

"She found him"

"He's hurt"

"What happened?"

Donna and Wilf looked at each other listening to the three voices talking to each other. "We don't know, they are trying to find out"

"Tell them they better hurry, there's more Daleks on the way" Jack said entering the room after hearing Mickey's voice.

"Who are they?" Donna asked handing the device over to Jack.

"Mickey, where are you, we'll come pick you up" Jack said into the ear piece.

"Jack, she found you good…" Mickey started when Jackie interrupted him.

"Who's the American?" She asked.

"I told you, that's Jack, that's who Rose went to get" Mickey answered "Were in Sarah Jane's Figaro…"

"Who's Sarah Jane?" Donna asked looking at Jack.

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "Never mind I see you" Jack said seeing the only moving car on the street on the Tardis screen. "We're right above you"

"You want me to land it now!" Donna shouted nervously.

"Try too" Jack replied giving her a big smile.

That relaxed her a bit as she tried to bring the box down slowly. She hit a button and pulled the lever up slowly but they were coming in to fast.

Sarah Jane stopped the car as she saw the blue box coming to them in the distance at a very fast speed.

"Slow it down a bit" Jack said trying to sound comforting as the Tardis started picking up more speed heading right for the little car.

"I can't I don't know how, we didn't practicing landing!" She shouted.

Jack watched the screen as car started appearing closer and closer. "Get out of the car!" he told them. "GET OUT OF THE CAR!" He shouted into the ear piece. He watched the three figures jump out of the car and fall to the street with their hands on top of their heads as the Tardis came barreling down at them.

Donna started pulling random gears and levers trying to anything to slow it down. Her heart was racing as she was holding on the main lever. She saw the hammer and used her right hand to hit a few buttons and gears with it, and then pulled down on the lever quickly, hoping it would work like a brake.

Sarah Jane watched in horror as the blue box looked like it was going to smash right into her car, then watched as it just skimmed the top of it and landed softly a few feet next to it.

"Did I hit it?" Donna asked because she had closed her eyes very tightly and was afraid to open them.

"Nope, perfect landing" Jack said smiling at her as she opened one eye and than the other.

Sarah Jane finally took a breath and laid her head on the ground. Mickey went to help her up as Jackie ran towards the Tardis.

Tbc...
