A/N: Hello! 😀

I do hope that all of you enjoyed "Hide". 🙂 However, now it is time for another episode! 💚

And, here are our guest stars for said episode.

<><><><><><><><><>
Guest Starring

Emma Stone as Jupiter Pond
~o0o~

Richard Madden as Skyler "Sky" Pond
<><><><><><><><><>

I know we all know who these two are, but I still like introducing them whenever they're in an episode. 💛

P.S. ~ Is it just me, or does 11 look REALLY good not wearing his coat and just his waistcoat with his shirt sleeves rolled up? 😊

So... moving on! 😂

This episode ended up being more fun for me to write than I originally thought. I actually quite enjoy this episode whenever I watch it. I love getting to see more of the TARDIS than we usually get to see.

Anyway, in this episode we get a team of three that get ejected from the TARDIS and a team of three that get thrown somewhere else that's deeper within the seemingly infinite spaceship/time machine. We also get a few subtle shoutouts to some characters and moments that have long past for the Doctor and Lexi. ❤️

Now, without further ado, I gladly present to you... "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS"!!! 🎉💙

Enjoy! 😘

Inside, Ship, Living quarters...

A computer screen was scanning as brothers Gregor Van Baalen and Bram Van Baalen slept on bunks. while a third man, Tricky, was sitting at a table as he polished some equipment. Said man had a barcode on his throat, his eyes zooming in on his task like a computer.

"Incoming salvage, please validate. Incoming salvage, please validate." The computer system announced, beeping. "Incoming salvage, please validate. Incoming salvage, please validate."

Being woken up because of the computer's announcement, Bram stood and walked to the screen as Tricky did the same. The screen read 'Zero Salvage Value'.

"Rusty garbage." Bram said, waving it off. "It's not worth lacing up my boots."

"Wasting our time." Tricky stated. "There's no salvage this far out."

"You're a lucky boy, Tricky." Bram told him. "You're an android - you don't get bored."

Tricky glanced back at where Gregor was sleeping. "He won't turn back. Not with half a cargo."

"He's not captain." Bram reminded. "We're equal partners."

"Yeah, right." Tricky rolled his eyes before taking a sip of his drink.

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

"You said–"

"I know what I said." Clara snapped, arms crossed as she and the Doctor walked around the console while Lucas, Jupiter and Sky watched with amused smiles. "I was the one who said it."

"You said it was looking at you funny!"

"I was tired. Overwrought. I didn't mean it. It's an appliance. It does a job."

"It's a pretty cool appliance." The Doctor told her, tapping the console. "We're not talking cheese grater here."

"You're not getting me to talk to your ship." Clara shook her head. "That's properly bonkers."

"No hard feelings meant, Idris. Don't pay them any mind." Lexi smiled, patting the time rotor as the TARDIS whirred at her.

Clara rolled her eyes, looking over to Sky, Lucas and Jupiter. "Does he remind any of you of one of those guys who can't go out with a girl unless his mother approves?"

"Obviously his mother did." Sky chuckled, pointing over at Lexi. "Otherwise Jupiter and I wouldn't be here."

Lexi giggled as the Doctor rolled his eyes.

"It's important to me you get along." The Doctor explained. "I could leave you two alone together."

"Now you're creeping me out." Clara responded, making a face.

"Why not have her take the wheel, Dad?" Jupiter suggested.

"Good idea!" The Doctor snapped his fingers at her. "Wait, you know what? Not the wheel. I'll make it easy and shut it down to basic mode for you."

"Basic?" Clara tilted her head while looking at him incredulously as she leaned against the console next to him. "Because I'm a girl?"

"No." The Doctor shook his head before turning a key

"Are you ever gonna teach me how to fly?" Lucas questioned, looking to Lexi.

"Do you want me to?" She asked, smiling as she came and leaned against the railing next to him.

"I wouldn't mind it." He smiled back as he ran his hand along the edge of a control panel, the TARDIS letting out what could be perceived as a sort of purring noise. "She is a pretty cool ship."

Inside, Ship, Living quarters...

The TARDIS appeared on the computer screen as Gregor woke up before then walking over to Bram and Tricky.

"Everyone suit up." Gregor instructed. "It's good salvage. I can smell it."

"It's just trash." Bram tried to tell him.

"No, look." Tricky said, pointing at the screen. "There's something tasty in the magno-field."

Gregor squinted, leaning forward and pressing a spot on the screen.

"Magno-grab ready." The computer announced. "Engaging."

"Move yourself." Gregor told them before they all went to their lockers and put on heavy duty boots and cover-alls, Gregor taking a device from the shelf of a locker and pressing the button on top.

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

"So... Where do I start?" Clara questioned, gesturing at the controls of the console.

"Right there." Lexi pointed to a lever as she walked past her and the Doctor on her way over to where Jupiter was standing.

Clara smiled, enjoying that she was actually learning how to fly the TARDIS.

And as soon as she flipped the lever Lexi had pointed at, the TARDIS went dark and the power shut down which made everyone freeze.

Clara blinked, pulling her hand away from the lever. "What have I done?" She asked as the lights started flashing red.

"Er..." The Doctor tried to come up with words as he looked to Lexi, the two of them sharing a look. "Okay."

Lexi quickly came up to one of the monitors, Jupiter and Sky crowding around her so they could try and see.

"Okay... Bad. Very not good." Lexi breathed out as the screen started cracking.

"Glorious?" Lucas asked, looking back and forth between Lexi and the Doctor. "Doctor?"

"All the electrical impulses are jammed. I can't get the shields back up." The Doctor said, grunting as he pushed on a lever, Sky going over to try and help. "The TARDIS is completely vulnerable."

Clara held her hands up. "I swear I just touched it."

"We know you did, Clara." Lexi said as she moved around to the other side of the console, flipping a few switches. "This wasn't you."

The Doctor and Sky soon succeeded in moving the lever. However, sparks began to fly as the TARDIS lurched, throwing everyone backwards.

"Magnetic hobble-field!" The Doctor shouted as he made his way back to the console, shielding his face as he tried to work on controls. "We're flying right into it!"

"Everyone, stay by the Doctor!" Lexi pointed before everyone slowly tried moving in that direction as more things started exploding.

"Please tell me there's a button you can press to fix this!" Clara begged.

"Oh, yes!" The Doctor nodded. "Big friendly button!"

"You're lying!" Lucas shouted, wincing as he heard a popping sound.

"Yep! Rule One!" Lexi agreed, jumping as something exploded by her.

"Is it to stop us freaking out?" Clara asked.

"Is it working?" The Doctor asked her.

"Not so much!"

Lucas then looked down, seeing a grenade-like device rolling across the floor. Frowning slightly, he bent down to pick it up, only to gasp and drop it when it burned his hand.

"Lucas?" Jupiter asked, going over to check on him.

However, another and much larger explosion stopped Jupiter from moving any further than a step ahead of where she had been.

Jupiter barely even saw Lucas be thrown towards the Doctor and Sky as she herself, Lexi and Clara were all tossed somewhere else, everyone's vision going black.
