One more chapter and then the meeting. Chapters will be getting longer too. :)
"So, the entire planet's an amusement park?" Amy asked.
"Yes, don't know why I didn't think of it before," the Doctor replied, flipping a lever.
"Don't you think I'm a bit old for an amusement park?"
The problem wasn't really the amusement park or her age it was the look her husband was giving her. That please, can we go home now? look. Not that she ever really listened to that look, but he'd been wearing it since the Doctor showed up at their house and…well, she was starting to feel bad…just a bit.
"You said fun and amusement parks are fun," he replied. She still wasn't sure, but then he put his arm around her neck. "Oh, come on, Pond. It'll be fun. I promise."
She laughed.
"All right. Why not?"
"Yes, why not indeed," he beamed and then returned to the control panel.
"It's a safe amusement park though…right?" Rory asked.
"Safe?" the Doctor inquired. "Of course it's safe, Rory. It's an amusement park."
"You know, no man eating dinosaurs or robots with killer death rays."
"Of course it's safe," he repeated without actually answering Rory's question.
"Oh, come on," Amy said, taking her husband's hand. "It'll be fun."
"Yaaay, fun," Rory replied in his I'd rather do anything than go to an amusement park that may or may not have man eating dinosaurs and robots with killer death rays voice.
An alarm blared through the TARDIS. It pitched sideways. Amy bounced off the control panel and into the railing. She grabbed it in both hands.
"Doctor, what's happening?" Amy yelled.
The Doctor held onto the control panel. It sparked. He grabbed the monitor.
"No…what?...no!" the Doctor yelled.
He flipped a lever. She glanced at him. He had his worried face on and that was definitely bad.
"Doctor!" she yelled as the TARDIS pitched the other way.
"No! No, no, no, no, no!"
Rory was bent over, trying not to throw up. Amy let go of the railing and made it to the control panel as the TARDIS rocked again.
"Doctor, what is it?" she demanded.
"It…it just can't be…it just can't!"
He flipped another switch. The control panel sparked.
"What is it?"
"A crack."
A crack? No, did he mean? But it couldn't be. They'd gotten rid of all of them. Fear crept up her spine.
"Like the one in my bedroom wall?"
"No…well, yes…but not really."
"Where is it?"
"We seem to have fallen through."
The fear gripped her stomach. They fell through?
"What?"
"Oh, great, and now I'm dead…again…right?" Rory asked.
"No, no one's dead, Rory. It's not the same kind of crack," The Doctor replied.
"What kind of crack is it?" she asked.
"It's a crack-" The TARDIS pitched sideways.
Amy grabbed onto the control panel to keep from falling.
"Doctor!" she yelled.
"A crack in the skin of the universe," the Doctor said.
"In the what?" Rory asked.
"Wait. Are you saying we fell out of our universe?" Amy asked.
"Oh, great," Rory remarked.
"Don't worry Rory I've been through one before and I'm still alive…see?" The Doctor spread his arms wide and then had to grab the control panel in the next moment as the TARDIS bucked. "Although that one led to a parallel world and this one…"
"What?" Amy asked in concern. The last time they left their universe they wound up on a living planet that kept itself amused by torturing her and her husband. "This one what?"
"Assume the position," he yelled.
Amy ducked down, hoping her husband was doing the same as the alarm grew louder.
