Summary: There’s a slight problem with the TARDIS.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
“What’s happening?” Belinda shouts over various alarms as a pall of smoke fills the vast console room of the Doctor’s gleaming TARDIS.
“Temporal overload!” the Doctor shouts back, racing around the console so fast it makes Belinda dizzy to watch him. He’s pressing buttons, pulling levers, flipping switches, and it all looks random to Belinda, but whatever the Doctor’s doing, it seems to be working because the alarms are shutting down and the smoke is starting to clear. “Nothing to worry about. Everything’s under control.” He flashes a smile.
“Oh good. I was starting to think something had gone wrong.”
The End
