Clara woke up to the violent shaking of the TARDIS. Looking at the clock she groaned with annoyance, it was six thirty AM London time, she had expected to get at least another half an hour of sleep. The TARDIS didn't normally experience this amount of turbulence so either this was one of the mean tricks the TARDIS loved to play on her or something was very seriously wrong. As the movement worsened she knew either way trouble was at hand. Jumping out of bed she grabbed her dark red cardigan and ran into the corridor, at exactly the same time as a very topless Jack Harkness.
"Why hello Clara Oswald fancy meeting you here of all places, it must be fate drawing us together." He said seductively, turning on his charm with the flick of a switch. He looked her up and down causing Clara to realise she was only wearing a very short pair of shorts and a crop top. She wrapped her cardigan around her tightly.
Having finally got over Jacks charm, which in her eyes was just pure arrogance, she spoke. "Oh shut it Jack. I'm guessing you felt the shaking too?" Right on cue the TARDIS jerked out of control knocking Clara off her feet and straight into Jacks open arms. Clara laughed nervously.
"Oh for the love of god! You two haven't hooked up have you?" Called Mickey from down the corridor at his and Martha's open bedroom door. He was dressed more appropriately than Jack in track suit bottoms and a plane white top.
Jumping away from Jack, Clara shook her head "N...n...no. Err I was inspecting the shaking of the TARDIS and happened to walking into...him." She pointed at Jack. "Did you feel it?" She questioned Mickey.
"Of course we felt it! It was impossible not too!" Martha snapped as she sleepily pushing past Mickey and into the hallway.
"Sorry she gets a bit cranky if she lacks sleep." Mickey whispered in Clara and Jacks direction.
"SHE, has a name you know. It's 'Mrs if-Mickey-doesn't-shut-up-he-will-regret-it Smith Jones. Now are we going to find out what that shaking is or not?"
"Yes Mrs Smith Jones" the group chorused before starting down the labyrinth of corridors in the direction of the control room. The journey took them far longer than usual as every so often they had to stop for the TARDIS would jerk uncontrollably before dying down, only to begin again minutes later. On one of these exhausting stops they ran into a stressed out Sarah Jane in a light blue dressing down.
"Sarah!" Jack exclaimed, happy to see his friend.
"Morning team, I'm guessing you've felt the shaking?" She questioned.
"Duh." replied a still grumpy Martha. Mickey glared at his wife.
"Yes we have, do you know what it is?" Clara asked sweetly, wanting to make a good impression on the group.
"I have no idea whatsoever, lets find out!"
Together they all managed to eventually get to the control room which contained a very panicky Doctor. The room was a mess, bright lights were flashing angrily on the walls, a shrill ringing noise was erupting from the speakers and the shaking felt even stronger. The Doctor was running round the control room like a madman. Well, Clara thought, he IS a madman.
"Doctor?" Sarah Jane called out, "What's happening?"
"I don't know! We are travelling somewhere, I think." He yelled from the over side of the room.
"Oh I never would have guessed that!" Martha said sarcastically, "We are in a time machine you know!"
"Martha. Shush!" Mickey snapped.
"Well all i know is that i doubt its your house!" The Doctor said with attitude. "I mustn't have set the coordinates correctly...oops."
Signing Jack ran up to the hectic mess which was the control panel and started pressing buttons. Clara joined him there and searched the monitor screen, calling out to the Doctor she said, "Yeah Doctor the location was predetermined."
"Well do you know where we are going?" He asked. He felt useless, like a tin dog.
"Err let me check," she started typing away, "Er nooo. It says that the location is unknown." Clara called out, "Stupid snogbox." She muttered, before yelping as she received an electric shock from the machine.
Slowly Jack managed to get the TARDIS to calm down, the ringing grew silent, the lights stopped flashing and the TARDIS became more steady.
"What did you do?" The Doctor asked Jack, he face full of awe for the Captain.
"I landed her." He replied calmly, smiling away to himself.
"But...but...I haven't taught you...and she she she didn't make the noise." The Doctor wined.
"What noise?" Jack asked tauntingly, well aware of how The Doctor would keep the brakes on. The woman who taught him to drive the TARDIS had told him that.
"Oh you know the one." The Doctor said quietly before imitating the noise his beloved TARDIS would make. Laughter burst from the rest of the group.
"Well who taught you anyway!" The Doctor moaned.
"Spoliers." Jack winked, foreknowledge could be dangerous.
"God if you are all going to behave like that I'm going to find out where we are!" He stormed off in a huff and slammed the TARDIS door behind him. Moments later a crash and clanging could be heard from outside the TARDIS followed by a high pitched scream and what could only be described as someone being slapped. Managing to claw his way back inside the TARDIS the Doctor locked the door before leaning against it and panting heavily. He had only left for what felt like a minutes but he looked a state. His bowtie was undone, his favourite tweed jacket missing, his hair was a mess and he was clutching his bright red cheek.
"What the hell happened out there?" Clara asked with concern for her chin boy.
Between pants the Doctor managed to whisper two words which could make anyone, even the oncoming storm, shudder with fear. "Jackie Tyler."
