You're living it all over again. The Hospital. Waking up to the Doctor crying. The Judoon. You feel the same in your dream as you did then, nothing. Then you're back with the Plasmavore. But this time the woman doesn't come. Humm....

You wake up in a cold sweat. You feel the room cool down, and another concerned humm...

"I'm fine!" You snap. "Sorry." You wince. She gently warms the room back up, and you sigh as the TARDIS throws a really concerned humm as you walk towards the bathroom, knowing what you want to do.

Wait... could she read your mind? The thought really disturbs you. Your fears are concerned when she gives you a sympathetic hum... then a reassuring humm... at least she doesn't tattle.

You re-asses your options. You decide to change into a pair of black leggings and long, loose black top. You put your hair up in a messy bun, grab your phone, and start wandering.

The floor heats up below you and you follow the TARDIS to a door.

"Thanks." You smile and open the door to a beautiful dance studio.

One wall is a huge mirror, and the walls are a TARDIS blue. There are golden spots all over the ceiling for light. It fit the theme in the control room perfectly.

You stretch with the beams, careful to keep your breathing and heart rate in check. Eventually you start to scroll through your playlists, looking for the perfect song. The TARDIS, of course, is telepathic when it comes to music too. The sound seems to come from everywhere. Well, at least you don't see any speakers.

Never be so kind
You forget to be clever
Never be so clever
You forget to be kind
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive you're alive in my head...

You dance exactly how you feel. Sad. Your parents are gone, but you still felt them in your head. Sometimes.

You leap, twirl, split, everything. You were self taught, and quite flexible. Gracefully you take advantage of the space in the room.

At the end of the song you do the splits, letting your arms rise above your head. You let your hair out if the bun and comb your fingers through it, trying to catch your breath. You probably over did it, you are very light headed and hear your heart beating in your ears.

Suddenly you hear a small laugh. Your eyes dart to the door and see Missy standing there. She was still in her pajamas, a long sleeve dark purple shirt and matching shorts. Her hair is down and flowing past her shoulders in small waves and curls. You feel your whole body heat up...

"I didn't know you could dance." She smirks, leaning against the door way with her arms folded across her chest.

"H-how long have you been standing there?" You mumble, embarrassed you stand up, putting your hair back up.

"Long enough." She smiles. "What are you doing up this early?" She raises an eyebrow, slightly concerned but still amused.

"Woke up early, bored." You lie smoothly. She seems to buy it, but in her eyes you can see she knows your lying.

"Ah, well then." The playful smirk returns. "I know a planet."

"Sure." You shrug. You follow her and wait outside her room, and moments later she comes out dressed, hair done, and the umbrella...

You follow her to the control room where she flicks a few switches and walks to the door.

"Well, are you coming or not?" You stand there confused.

"We moved?"

"Stabilizers!" She throws her arms up as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. You follow her out of the room, gasping at the sight in front of you.

You are at the bottom of a glowing purple waterfall. The water at the bottom shimmers with little flecks of silver glitter. The sky above you has four moons!

"Welcome to Pegasi, home of the Pegasus." She says, walking into a bunch of trees. The trees looked like Earths, but the ends sparkles with different colors. Some blue, silver, gold...

"It's beautiful." You gasp, completely awestruck. She turns around and smiles.

You keep walking until you reach a clearing. She whistles long, low, then high. Two Pegasi come down, letting out a small grunt. They let down there wings. They're white with a beautiful mane. It's white too, but sparkled purple like the water.

"Come on!" She says, hopping up on one, gesturing you to a second. You hesitate. "Oh don't worry, completely safe!" She winks, flying up. You don't know where the TARDIS is, so you get on one against your better judgement.

You fly straight up, level with each other. You keep a tight grip on the mane, terrified but loving the view. The planet is beautiful. The sparkling trees, the rivers and waterfalls are everywhere! You loosen your grip and decide to trust the horse. They both graze over one of the rivers, lightly sprinkling you and Missy with water.

Eventually your rides land in front of the TARDIS. You stroke it's mane. He... or she... gives you a little goodbye neigh before joining the other Pegasi in the sky.

You aren't ready to go back, so you walk over to the bottom of the waterfall you first walked past. You slip off your shoes and socks, carefully dipping your feet in the water. It is quite cold considering the warm air. You let out a small smile of content. You hadn't felt this calm in ages. The beautiful sight, sparkling water, and quiet melody of the leaves in the wind made you close your eyes and drift off into a peaceful sleep.
