The Doctor and the Stone continued to run with Idris until they arrived at an empty area in what looked like a large junk yard as they stared at different parts from multiple TARDISes. "A valley of half eaten TARDISes." The Doctor said. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I'm thinking that all of my sisters are dead." Idris quietly replied. The Stones eyes widened at the thought. "That they were devoured, and that we are looking at their corpses."

The Stone winced. "I don't think he was thinking that." She murmured lightly rubbing Idris' shoulder.

"Ah. Sorry." The Doctor lightly nodded. "No, I wasn't thinking that."

"No." She looked between them. "You both were thinking you could build a working TARDIS console out of broken remnants of a hundred different models. And neither of you don't care that it's impossible."

"It's not impossible as long as we're alive."

"And anything is possible if you try hard enough." The Stone winked.

"Rory and Amy need us." The Doctor said taking the Stones hand. "So yeah, we're going to build a TARDIS."

"I think I'm going to enjoy this." The Stone grinned. "Something I've never built before."

"I think I'm going to enjoy doing this with you dear." The Doctor grinned back kissing her cheek.

The Time Lords were quick to start with two panels up. Parts of the console were still missing along with the time rotor and a couple other panels.

"Bond the tube directly into the Tachyon Diverter." Idris called to them poking something, the Stone huffed helping the Doctor to pull another panel with rope.

"Yes, yes, we have actually rebuilt a TARDIS before, you know." The Doctor grunted pulling the panel along. "We know what I'm doing."

"You sure sweetheart?" The Stone teased before groaning when she began to pull again.

Idris looked over at the Doctor. "You're like a nine year old trying to rebuild a motorbike in his bedroom. And you never read the instructions."

"I always read the instructions."

"Threw put the Manuel." The Stone called over her shoulder as she made her way over to the TARDIS they had started to make.

"Exactly." Idris nodded at the Time Lady. "And there's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?"

"That's not instructions."

"There's an instruction at the bottom." Idris pressed on. "What does it say?"

"Pull to open."

"Yes. And what do you do?"

"I push."

"The both of you do it." She looked over at the Stone. "Every single time. Seven hundred years. Police Box doors open out the way."

The Doctor dropped the rope and marched towards Idris. "I think I have earned the right to open my front doors any way I want."

"Your front doors?" Idris repeated before looking at the Stone as if to say 'you married this man?' "Have you any idea how childish that sounds?"

"You are not my mother." He pointed right at her face making the woman lean back slightly not fazed while the Stone winced walking over to them.

"And you are not my child."

"You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable."

"And you have?" She countered.

"You didn't always take me where I wanted to go."

"No, but I always took you where you needed to go. Look at the Stone for instance."

"Me?" The Time Lady pointed at herself.

"You think that the Daleks took over me and forced me into their ship?" She raised a brow. "I took him to you when you needed him."

"You took me to the Stone?"

"You needed your Stone just as much as she needed her Doctor."

The Doctor smiled his hearts swelled at the thought, without the TARDIS doing that he may have never found her, she may be dead or trapped on the Dalek ship forever with the Doctor not having any idea that she was still alive.

"You did." He whispered running up to the TARDIS pointing at her. "Look at us talking. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could always talk, even when you're stuck inside the box?"

The Stone swallowed hard already knowing it wasn't possible, she even tried it with her TARDIS a long time ago. "You know I'm not constructed that way. I exist across all space and time, and you both talk and flirt with each other and run around and bring home strays." Her kneels then bucked causing her to almost fall to the ground if the Doctor hadn't caught her, the Stone running and helping to keep Idris upright.

"You okay?" The Stone questioned knowing that something was wrong.

"One of the kidneys has already failed. It doesn't matter." She looked between them. "We need to finish assembling the console."

"Using a console without a proper shell." The Doctor whistled at the idea. "It's not going to be safe."

"Since when have we ever cared about safe, sweetheart?" The Stone chuckled.

"This body has about eighteen minutes left to live." Idris informed them. "The universe we're in will reach Absolute Zero in three hours. Safe is relative."

"Then we need to get a move on." He went back to the rope pulling it. "Eh, old girl?"

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

A short while later the Doctor was carrying a time rotor, the Stone by the console they had made, placing the last parts of the console they needed before they could place the time rotor.

"You'll need to install the time rotor." Idris called walking over to a pile of junk to go through. The Doctor with the Time Lady's help placed the time rotor in its place.

"How is this going to make it through the rift?" The Doctor said in wonder. "How?

"We're almost done." The Stone grinned. The Doctor moved around the console checking everything. "Thrust diffuser? Er, retroscope... Blue thingy."

"Thats the blue stabilisers." The Stone corrected fondly shaking her head. He never listened.

"Do you ever wonder why I chose you two all those years ago?" Idris questioned examining a wired coat hanger before tossing it over her shoulder.

"The Stone chose you." The Doctor softly smiled remembering it clearly. "The Stone was curious and I also wanted to explore, you were also unlocked."

"Of course I was." She chuckled. "I wanted to see the universe, so I stole two best friends who were in love and let them share their stories in my console room and then when you were old enough I ran away and you were the only two mad enough."

"Right." The Doctor nodded. "Perfect. Look at that. What could possibly go wrong?"

The Stone groaned before sending the Doctor an annoyed look when something fell of the console. "You just had to say it didn't you?"

"Its fine." He waved off. "That's fine. That always happens." He then saw some red rope out the corner of his eye. "No, hang on. Wait." He ran over and placed the items back where they were before, using the rope to hold it in place. He hooked ot to the console and made sure everything was in place.
"Right." He nodded as the Stone grinned proudly of what they had made, never had she actually made a whole TARDIS. "Okay, let's go. Follow that TARDIS." The Stone pulled a lever and nothing happened causing the Doctor to groan. Idris didn't seem bothered while she poked at her face looking in a mirror.

"Oh no, come on."

"But there's rift energy everywhere." The Stone said in confusion.

"You can do it. Okay, diverting all power to thrust." The Doctor stated pressing buttons. Let's be having you." There was then a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere causing the Stone to yelp.

"No, no, no, no." The Doctor groaned flicking a switch to try and get it to work.

"What's wrong?" Idris frowned looking at them.

"It can't hold the charge." The Doctor shook his head moving his arm so he could wrap it around the Stones waist knowing that there was nothing else they could do. The TARDIS would be eaten, Amy and Rory would be dead. House would most likely rip the universe apart trying to find more TARDISes before tearing into the universe the Stone was in as a human. "It can't even start. There's no power." The Doctor swallowed hard shaking his head. "We've got nothing." He shook his head kissing the Stones hair pulling her closer.

"Oh, my beautiful idiot and his beautiful love." Idris looked between them making the Time Lords blink at her words. "You have what you've always had. You've got me."
Suddenly the woman's eyes turned gold as she kissed her fingers transferring gold energy to the console before smiling as the rotor began to move, dematerialising the TARDIS they had made.

"Whoo hoo!" The Doctor exclaimed.

"We've locked on to them." Idris said. "They'll have to lower the shields when we're close enough to phase inside."

"Can you get a message to Amy?" The Doctor asked as the Stone added: "The telepathic circuits are online."

"Which one's Amy?" Idris asked: "The pretty one?" The Stone snorted knowing it was most unlikely that Idris meant the fellow redhead and instead meant Rory. The Time Lady didn't interrupt as Idris lightly touched the time rotor, a picture of Rory appeared on the mirror Idris was staring at herself before.

Rory groaned while the Stone silently chuckled seeing the image of Rory our the corner of her eye while she pressed a button and turned a dial on the console. The man groaned and lightly touched his temple, Idris completely ignored his distress: "
Hello, Pretty." The Stone let out another snort. The Doctor frowned and moved around the console to see what was amusing his wife.

"What the hell is that?" Rory gawked.

"Don't worry." The Doctor moved so Rory- or who Idris was meant to contact- Amy would be able to see Telepathic messaging. The Doctor frowned looking at Idris for a moment catching on to what was so amusing. "No, that's Rory."

"You have to go to the old control room. I'm putting the route in your head. When you get there use the purple slider on the nearest panel to lower the shields."

The Doctor looked back at Idris again. "The pretty one?"

The Stone lightly shrugged when he looked at her before she went back to focusing on the console so the TARDIS they had made didn't loose their TARDIS. "You'll have about twelve seconds before the room goes into phase with the invading Matrix." Idris explained. "I'll send you the pass key when you get there. Good luck." Idris then cut the connection off. The Stone frowned in slight confusion wondering how the humans will be able to take the shields down while House was inside.

"If House is still in the control room how are Amy and Rory going to take down the shields. How's he going to be able to take down the shields anyway?

"I directed him to one of the old control rooms."

"There aren't any old control rooms." The Doctor corrected. "They were all deleted or remodelled."

"I archive them, for neatness." Idris replied making the Stone chuckle, it was something she could picture actually happening. "I've got about thirty now."

"But I've only changed the desktop, what, a dozen times?" He looked at the Time Lady who nodded.

"So far," Idris said in thought before nodding. "Yes."

"You can't archive something that hasn't happened yet." The Doctor protested.

"Doctor." The Stone rolled her eyes. "She's the TARDIS and most likely is living in many different parts of our timeline." She rolled her eyes before wincing. "That must hurt."

Idris wordlessly shrugged at the Time Lady. The Doctor laughed pulling a lever as the TARDIS they were currently in got closer to their own TARDIS.

"Keep going." The Doctor shouted. "You're doing it, you sexy thing."

"See, you do call me that." Idris told him. "Is it my name?"

"Er..." the Doctor looked at the Stone who laughed.

"Definitely your name." she nodded clutching onto the console so she wouldn't fall.

"Whoo!"

Idris then looked at the Time Lords. "They got there." She then touched the time rotor, "Crimson. Eleven. Delight. Petrichor." She told Rory before breaking the connection again.

The Doctor and the Stone continued to move around the console pulling levers and grinning at each other.

Soon after Idris moved around the time rotor to talk to both Time Lords. "They did it. Shields down." She then touched the console. "We're coming through." She told Rory. "Get out of the way or you'll be atomised."

"Where are you coming through?" The Time Lords heard Rory.

Idris just shrugged helplessly. "I don't know."

"Oh, great." He sarcastically replied, rolling his eyes. "Thanks."

Idris then looked between the Time Lords after ending the connection.

"It's not going to hold." Idris shouted over the sound of the console materalising inside of the TARDIS while sparks flew in all different directions making the Stone yelp

"Doctor.!" Amy shouted seeing them both. "Stone!" She ran up and tightly hugged them both.

"Not good." Idris winced stumbling away from the TARDIS that just materalised and towards the console, choosing to lean against it. "Not good at all." She looked at the Time Lady. "How do you walk around in these things?"

"We're not quite there yet." The Doctor quickly made his way over, his arm moving over Idris' shoulder, sharing a worried look with the Stone. "Just hold on. Amy, this is, well,"

"She's the TARDIS." The Stone chuckled lightly patting the Doctors shoulder when he grinning excitedly nodding his head like a small puppy.

"Except she's a woman." He beamed. "She's a woman, and she's my TARDIS."

"Your TARDIS?" The Stone playfully raised a brow.

"Our TARDIS." He quickly corrected.

Amy frowned pointing at the mad woman. "She's the TARDIS?"

"And she's a woman!" The Doctor cut in excitedly while the Stone lightly patted his back seeing how excited he was getting. "She's a woman and she's the TARDIS."

"Did you wish really hard?" The Stone snorted while the Doctor frowned not catching on until too late before his eyes widened and he shook his head. "Shut up." He pointed at his wife playfully. "And you Amelia." He pointed at the human woman. "Not like that."

"Hello. I'm Sexy." The Stone couldn't help herself when she started to laugh having to lean onto the Doctor for support. The Time Lord sighed holding his wife around the waist to keep her upright while he looked over at the humans who both looked confused and slightly concerned with what they had missed. "Still shut up."

"The environment has been breached." They heard House. The Stone straightened fixing a glare around the TARDIS. "Nephew, kill them all."

Rory frowned. "Where's Nephew?"

"He was standing right where you materialised."

"Ah." The Doctor nodded. The Stone grimaced at what had happened. "Well, he must have been redistributed."

"Meaning what?" Rory asked noticing the fowl look on the Time Lady's face.

"You're breathing him." The Stone muttered.

"Oh, come on." Amy mumbled through the hand that flew to cover her nose and mouth.

"Another Ood I failed to save." The Doctor signed.

"Don't worry sweetheart." The Stone lightly patted his shoulder. "Not even you can be everywhere at once.

"Doctor." House addresses him. "Stone. I did not expect you."

"Well, that's me and my wife all over, isn't it?" The Doctor said into the air, the Stone linked her arm through his. "Lovely old unexpected us."

"The big question is, now you're here, how to dispose of you?" House said as if he was teasing the Time Lords, like he knew what he was going to do and he just wanted to try and annoy them. "I could play with gravity." He hummed while they were all pulled to the floor, the Time Lords feeling their bones where being crushed by an invisible force, the Stone tightly held her eyes shut for a moment before panting when the gravity was returned to normal. The Doctor quick to move his arm to the Stones wait, pulling her closer. "Or I could evacuate the air from this room and watch you choke." House added seeming to enjoy himself as even the Time Lords struggled for breath, feeling all the air in their lungs had been empty and their respiratory bypass systems deemed pretty useless while they choked.

The Doctor sharing a concerned look with the Time Lady, the Doctor more worried about his wife than himself. "You really don't want to do that." He managed to say before sucking in all the air possible when the oxygen was returned to the console room and their lungs. Amy and Rory also panting for breath looking extremely worried and tired.

"Why shouldn't I just kill you now?" House questioned.

"Because then we won't be able to help you." The Doctor spoke loudly, making sure the Stone was right beside him.

"Listen to your engines." The Time Lady spoke up. "Just listen to them."

"You don't have the thrust and you know it. Right now we're your only hope for getting out of your little bubble through the rift, and into our universe."

"And my old ones the one with the food in." The Stone added rainsing a brow only to see the Doctor look at her in slight alarm. The House wouldn't know what she meant, that could be dealt with later.

The Time Lady gave the Doctor a reassuring look,the Doctor nodded and looked up addressing House once more. "You just have to promise not to kill us. That's all, just promise."

Amy shook her head at them, the Stone had told her about when she was in the parallel world and how the Doctor found her again. "You can't be serious."

"My wife is very serious." The Doctor said. "I'm sure it's an entity of its word."

Rory now had moved over and was kneeling beside Idris who was lying on the grating of the old console room, the Doctor leant against the old jump seat with the Stone catching their breaths even a a couple of minutes after the House had taken all the air. "Stone, she's burning up." Rory told the Time Lady who quickly moved over to Idris with the Doctor. "She's asking for water."

"Hey." The Doctor and the Stone softly smiled trying to reassure her with the look on their faces.

The Doctor swallowed hard at how much they could see Idris was hurting. "Hang in there, old girl. Not long now. It'll be over soon."

"I always liked it when you call me old girl." Idris smiled up at the Doctor. "And when you talked to me even when you didn't know I could hear you Stone." She looked at the Time Lady. "Even as a human you treated me as an equal."

"You want me to give my word?" The house cut in making the Stone grow cold remembering who did this. "Easy. I promise."

"Fine." The Stone jumped up nodding. "Okay. I trust you. Just delete, oh, er..." she looked to the Doctor for help.

"Thirty percent of the TARDIS rooms, you'll free up thrust enough to make it through. Activate subroutine Sigma nine."

"Why would you tell me this?"

"Because we want to get back to our universe as badly as you do." The Doctor said. "And I'm nice."

"Yes. I can delete rooms. And I can also rid myself of vermin if I delete this room first. Thank you, Doctor, thank you Stone. Very helpful. Goodbye, Time Lords. Goodbye, little humans. Goodbye, Idris."

The Stone smirked with the Doctor who grabbed her hand as a bright light blocked their vison of anything else until it stopped showing that they were now in the TARDISes console room again.

"Yes." The Stone grinned. "You could do that and it would have worked if there was no hardwired fail safe."

"Living things from rooms that are deleted are automatically deposited in the main control room." The Doctor added. "But thanks for the lift."

"We are in your universe now, Doctor, Stone. Why should it matter to me in which room you die? I can kill you just as easily here as anywhere." The House said his voice growing dark. "Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords."

"Fear me. I've killed all of them."

"No." The Stone growled having had enough of the House by now. It had killed her friend and no doubt her grandfather. "Fear me because my grandfather created the box that killed them all and guess who finished it off for him when you tricked him to come here so you could use him." She said her voice growing cold and dark because she had enough of feeling hurt and alone day after day. "Me."

The Doctor worryingly glanced at the Stone before speaking up. "Yeah, you're right." He quickly nodded. "You've completely won. Oh, you can kill us in oodles of really inventive ways, but before you do kill us allow me my wife and our friends Amy and Rory to congratulate you on being an absolutely worthy opponent." He stood up pulling Amy up and clapping to the air.

"Congratulations."

"Definitely defeated us." The Stone nodded.

"Me, the Stone and our lovely friends here, and last but definitely not least," the Doctor started to grow angrier as he spoke. "The TARDIS Matrix herself, a living consciousness you ripped out of this very control room and locked up into a human body."

"And look at her." The Stone growled.

"Stone." Rory swallowed, Idris' head on the mans lap. "she's stopped breathing."

"Enough." House tried to stop them. "That is enough."

"No." The Stone firmly cut the House off. "It's never enough."

"You forced the TARDIS into a body so she'd burn out safely a very long way away from this control room. A flesh body can't hold the TARDIS Matrix and live. Look at her body, House." The Doctor pointed at Idris.

"And you think I should mourn her?" House question almost sneering at the thought.

"No." The Doctor replied. "I think you should be very, very careful about what you let back into this control room."

"You took her from her home." The Stone added. "But now she's back in the box again, and she's free." She softly smiled taking the Doctors hand as they watched as golden energy streamed from Idris and around the console, moving through the time rotor.

"No. Doctor, Stone." House cried. "Stop this. Argh! Stop this now."

"Oh, look at our girl." The Doctor loudly called to House. "Look at her go. Bigger on the inside. You see, House?"

"Make her stop."

"That's your problem." The Doctor continued. "Size of a planet,"

"bBt inside." The Stone continued from the Doctor. "You are just so small."

"Make it stop."

The Doctor turned around one of his arms moving around the Stones waist while he used the other to wave at the console. "Finish him off, girl."

"Ow." House cried. "Don't do this! Argh!"

The Doctor and the Stone stood together at the console looking at the time rotor, the Stone then saw a bright light in the corner of her eye before Idris spoke to them in an echoing voice, her figure glowing gold as she stood at the stairs. The Time Lords having both turned around. Swallowing thickly knowing that this was now goodbye.

"Doctor, Stone." Idris said staring off into the distance. "Are you there? It's so very dark in here."

The Doctor swallowed hard feeling his eyes start to become glossy while the Stone tightly squeezed his hand not even able to imagine how he felt. He had a much deeper connection to the TARDIS than she did, she couldn't begin to understand how hurt he currently felt. "We're here." The Time Lady whispered knowing that if the Doctor opened his mouth now he would most likely choke out a sob.

"I've been looking for a word. A big, complicated word, but so sad. I've found it now."

"What word?" The Stone questioned.

"Alive." Idris whispered making the Stone faintly smile while the Doctor frowned. "I'm alive."

"Alive isn't sad."

"It's sad when it's over." She added making the Doctor swallow hard. "I'll always be here, but this is when we talked, and now even that has come to an end. There's something I didn't get to say to you both."

"Goodbye?" The Doctor whispered unable to even look at Idris.

"No." She faintly smiled. "I just wanted to say hello. Hello, Doctor. Hello Stone. It's so very, very nice to meet you both."

The Doctor choked on a sob. The Stone squeezed his hand even tighter hoping that she wasn't breaking his hand at the moment with how tight she was holding it, she blinked rapidly trying to push back her tears and hold them at bay for now. At least until she and the Doctor were alone in the console room or somewhere else. "Please. I don't want you to- please." The Doctor whispered.

"I love you both..."

The Doctor sniffed his hands slightly shaking. The Stone silently pulled him closer to her. Wrapping her arms around his neck she pulled his head down so his face was hiding in the crock of her neck. Her hearts broke for him. She let out a shaky breath before her own tears started to fall unable to hold them in any more.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------- 

The Stone sat under the console in a harness next to the Doctor, the two of them fixing under the console after House was inside it.

"How's it going under there?" Rory peered down through the glass with Amy watching them.

"Just putting a firewall around the Matrix." The Doctor called up.

"Almost done." The Stone smiles ip before almost jumping out of her skin when under the console sparked.

"Are you going to make her talk again?" Amy asked them.

The Stone let out a quiet sigh gently patting the Doctors shoulder when Amy and Rory walked down the stairs to talk to them under the console. "We can't."

"Why not?"

"Spacey wacey, isn't it?" Amy guessed stopping just on the last stair.

"Well, actually, it's because the Time Lords discovered that if you take an eleventh dimensional matrix and fold it into a mechanical then-"he rambles before getting cut off as Rory touched something making the Stone yelp again and where the Doctor was working to spark. "Yes, it's spacey wacey." He snapped.

"Sorry." Rory winced the Stone soothingly rubbing the Doctors back. "At the end, she was talking. She kept repeating something. I don't know what it means." Rory frowned.

"What did she say?" The Doctor asked mindlessly connecting to wires together.

"'The only water in the forest is a river.' She said we'd need to know that someday." He frowned. "It doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Not yet."

"She said something else as well," Amy spoke up. "'A rock is as strong as blood.' what could that mean?"

"It could mean anything," the Stone shrugged. "The TARDIS matrix has every timeline moving at once. What she said now couldn't be useful to us for days, months or even years." She shrugged before seeing the slightly hurt look on Rory's face. "Rory are you okay?"

"No." He admitted with a sigh. "I watched her die. I shouldn't let it get to me, but it still does. I'm a nurse."

"Letting it get to you." The Doctor patted the mans shoulder. "You know what that's called?" He faintly smiled. "Being alive. Best thing there is. Being alive right now, that's all that counts." He looked at the Time Lady who gently cupped the Time Lords cheek before lightly patting it and then turning back to the harness and sitting down again.

"I suppose you two are getting bored up there?" The Stone raised a brow and nodded up to the console. "We're nearly finished. Two more minutes, then we're off." She grinned. "The Eye of Orion's restful, if you like restful." She shrugged.

"I can never really get the hang of restful." The Doctor admitted. "What do you think, dears?" He grinned at the Time Lady taking her hand and kissing the back of it while patting where he was working under the console. His hearts warming with the soft look in the Stones eyes. "Where shall we take the kids this time?"

"Look at you three." Amy smiled at the Time Lords. "It's always you two and her, isn't it, long after the rest of us have gone. The two Time Lords madly in love with each other and their box, off to see the universe."

"Well, you say that as if it's a fairy tale." The Doctor said making the Stone chuckle. The Doctor lightly squeezed the Time Lady's hand while looking at her. "But honestly, it's much better than any fairy tale, it's the best thing there is."

The Stone lightly coughed remembering Amy and Rory were both standing there watching them stare at each other. "The House deleted all the bedrooms." The Stone sighed slightly. "I think there were a few hidden ones it managed to save." She winked at the Doctor then looked back at the humans.

"Yes well I should probably make you two a new bedroom." The Doctor cut in from the Stone. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"Okay." Amy nodded. "Er, Doctor, this time could we lose the bunk beds?"

The Stone groaned. "No. Bunk beds are cool." The Doctor protested. "A bed with a ladder. You can't beat that."

"I can't believe you gave them bunk beds." The Time Lady gave the humans an apologetic look. "Giving Rose and Mickey bunk beds all those years ago was bad enough. Do you seriously think they would have wanted bunk beds?"

"But they're really cool!"

"Doctor." The Stone sighed pulling him aside and quietly whispering to him. "They are married..."

"And?" He frowned.

"Oh dear Rassilon." She muttered shaking her head. "Honestly sweetheart do I have to spell it out for you?"

"Yes." He slowly nodded before his eyes widened at the pointed look the Time Lady gave him. "No."

"Don't worry Amy and Rory." The Stone smiled at them. "There won't be bunk beds." She narrowed her eyes at her husband. "And if there is or if you have any other issues with anything." She looked at the Doctor. "In your room give me a shout and I'll fix it and then make sure my husband understands why he is an idiot."

Amy snorted at the idea before taking Rorys hand and moved up the stairs while the Doctor quietly grumbled only loud enough for them to hear. "It's your room. Out those stairs, keep walking till you find it."

"You are adorable when you don't understand." The Stone chuckled kissing his cheek before she picked up the wires again while he sighed in defeat.

---------------------------------------------------------------- 

A short while later the Doctor and the Stone were up and leaning against the TARDIS, staring at the time rotor the Doctor flashed his sonic at it before tossing it on the air, catching it and then placing it in his pocket while the Stone lightly rubbed some dust off the console with a yellow cloth before letting it rest on a lever for a while.

"Are you there?" The Doctor whispered making the Stone softly smile and quietly make her way over to him. "Can you hear me? Oh, I'm a silly old-" he stopped feeling the Stone place her hand in his, entwining their fingers he smiled down at her.

"We're both silly." She smiled at him in return.

"Okay." He nodded not sure if he was now talking to the Time Lady beside him or their sexy. "The Eye of Orion, or wherever we need to go."

They both snapped their heads to see a lever move on its own. The TARDIS then wheezed. The Doctor grinned at the Stone who grinned back up at him before they both ran around the console. The Time Lords moved in complete sync knowing where and what the other was to do before they arrived back where they started. The Doctor laughing as he spun his wife around. "Whoo hoo!" They both exclaimed.
