Sitting on the broken sofa which tilted slightly to the side the two of them stared at the television. "Do you always eat major meals while watching cartoons?"

"Sorry did you want something boring on, like the news perhaps?" Phil said while waving chopsticks in his direction. The two had arrived home ten minutes or so after they discovered the TARDIS signal was coming from B & Q. No sooner had she got in did Phil pluck her mobile out of her pocket and ring up the nearest Chinese restaurant which did take aways. While she was doing this Doctor had taken to strolling around, he ended up standing in front of the bookcase in the front room. By the time she'd ordered food he had read about ten of the books from different shelves.

"What's wrong with the news? You know one day Phil something amazing, and life changing will happen. Not just to you, but to everyone! And it will be on the news, and you won't be watching it because you'd rather watch reruns of cartoons."

Phil pouted and ate some more noodles, she was brooding up some sort of retort to that. The Doctor smirked and noticed her deep thoughtful expression. Give her a few more moments and she'd have figured something up to say.

"Shush." Was the reply he got eventually, the only thing which made it funnier than usual was her pouting and waving pieces of noodles in his direction.

"I feel like we need some sort of action music. You know, like the theme tune from Mission Impossible?" Phil peeked around the corner and eyed up the orange garden centre. The Doctor stood beside her tinkering with the screwdriver, the signal was just as strong as it was earlier on. Which meant that the TARDIS was still in the building in front of them, and that it hadn't been moved.

"Maybe sing the theme song in your head?" He gave her a sidewards glance, Phil put a hand under her chin and started bopping her head slightly. "Got it?"

"Yup."

"Lets go then," he grinned and walked around the corner of the building they were standing near. Phil walked quickly next to him – still bopping her head – the two crossed the road and stared up at the building. It was very tall, looked like it was three stories which was strange, Phil always thought they were only two stories. Which lead to what was on the third level?

Shaking her head thinking she was looking to into something she had to run after The Doctor when he walked briskly across the road. "Are we seriously just going to shimmy on in there? There's witnesses left, right and centre!"

"Phil my home, my ship, my oldest and dearest friend is in this horrid orange excuse of a building." He looked at her, "These people walking around don't even notice us. They won't notice us even when we slip on in." To prove his point he ducked under the red and white striped barrier to stop cars from parking in the car park. He put his hands on it and looked at her, "See." He grinned, Phil looked around. Sure enough no one paid the slightest piece of attention to them.

Ducking under the barrier and standing up she smiled at him, "You seem very hesitant."

"Well I've had bad experiences with this place."

"Care to tell while we sneakily break in?" He questioned while sneaking over to the nearest wall. The two walked slowly and quietly along and managed to avoid the CCTV cameras which were scanning the area around.

"I nearly got ran over by those...erm...whatcha call it...they're used to lift crates and that."

The Doctor gave her a confused look before clicking his fingers. "A forklift?"

"Yeah yeah! One of those things!"

"What happened?"

"Well me and Darren got bored while we were forced out to come shopping. Basically we ended up sneaking off and were running around in the flower and plant part right? Next thing you know I dash out in front of a forklift which is carrying bags of what appear to be pebbles and gravel and I freeze." Phil leant against the wall as he pulled out the screwdriver and aimed it at the locks. The two of them were entering the building through the fire escape. Pointing the screwdriver at the alarm The Doctor pulled a hesitant expression as he pulled the door open. He gave her a wide smile when the alarm didn't go off and he actually successfully disabled it.

"So it was your fault entirely then that you almost got run over? By the way you said it, you made it sound like someone else's fault."

"But it wasn't there! I mean, Doctor what sort of forklift is silent? It's not possible, they're loud and clumsy looking. The reason why we ended up playing about out there was because there was hardly anyone else up there." She crossed her arms and stayed close to him. They didn't turn on the lights and were basically relying on the sonic screwdriver to act as a torch. "All that was up there was flowers, trees and a bunch of creepy statues."

"Automatonophobia," The Doctor said while looking to the side at her. "That's the fear of anything which roughly resembles a human."

"Automatonophobia," Phil repeated slowly trying to pronounce it right. He gave a nod and a smile, she just smiled happily getting the word right. "But seriously statues are unneeded." She shook her head. "They bring nothing to a garden. Garden gnomes are the worse!"

"Stop hating against the poor garden gnomes, it's not their fault you're afraid of them."

"I am not afraid of them!" Phil exclaimed, Doctor just smiled and looked around. They were currently walking down the isles which had lawn mowers and other garden appliances on the shelves. "I just think they're a little creepy. With their happy smiles and...fishing rods..."

"What?" He laughed and turned to her, Phil winced at the bright light of the screwdriver, "Sorry!" He said and directed the screwdriver in another direction. "Not all garden gnomes have fishing rods."

"I thought you were going to say not all garden gnomes have happy smiles."

"Well I've not discovered a miserable looking garden gnome in all my time of travelling. But then again there is a first time for everything." He mused and started walking again, Phil walked after him quickly. The dark still bothered her, "Achluophobia," Doctor said slowly while looking down at her quickly. "Fear of the dark." He looked at her a little sadly, "It still bothers you."

"Of course it does! It isn't every day that I get attacked, and shot, by moving shadows."

"Sorry Phil."

"It honestly isn't your fault, it's my fault for being so awesome."

"You seriously have been around my company to long. Your ego is starting to get boosted by every little detail."

"At least you just admitted to the slight tendency you have to boost your own ego." Phil giggled and put her hands in her pockets, he just pouted and rolled his eyes.

"Oh shut up you and help me find the TARDIS."

"Aye aye sir!"

"What did I say about being called sir?"

"You don't like it." Phil said while scuffling along beside him. They eventually got to the end of the long isle, nodding his head, Doctor gestured to batteries and torches at the end of the opposite isle. Getting the hint Phil ran over and pulled a packet of batteries off of the rail along with two torches. Ripping the packet open Phil quickly slipped two batteries into one of the torches, turning it on she handed it to him. Putting the screwdriver back into his jacket pocket Doctor waved the torch around, Phil looked up at him oddly.

"Are you having fun?"

"So much!" Doctor grinned childishly while waving the torch around some more. Phil shook her head lightly, slipping two batteries into the torch she had left she switched it on.
