A Place In Time

Chapter Four

The TARDIS landed on an uneven patch of land And was propped up against a tree.

"That little minx!" The Doctor pointed towards me, "Your mother.."

I couldn't help myself but to laugh.

The Doctor was still anting when we came out of the TARDIS.

Sarah saw the position of the TARDIS first and pointed it out, "You know, Doctor, you never told us the TARDIS was a tree hugger."

"Where are we?" I ask to either of them.

"Try and guess." The Doctor replies sassily.

"Umm, alien planet where the cave men here worship you instead of the sun?" I tease.

"Now, you're just trying to flatter me." He teased back.

We all came back together and The Doctor started of, "We are on a planet called Javor, in the 52nd century. Humans populated this entire planet with Maple trees."

We started off walking again. Then, I noticed a glimmer of something on the forest floor.
"Doctor wait-" I shouted, too late.

He was snagged up in a beast-sized net.

"Doctor, I think you'd better hurry and get yourself out of there."I looked up at him, holding in a smirk, " I do hear cave men coming."

"Dont you tink im trying that?" He shot back, "Be a darling and get my sonic screwdriver out of my pocket."

"Your sonic-what-driver?" I asked.

"Sonic. Screwdriver. Pocket." He dumbed down.

"Your..." I bent my head around the net trap, "back pocket?"

"No," he flapped his arms as much as possible in front of him, "My coat pocket."

"Alright, alright." I laughed, looking up at him as I reached up for his pocket, "you know, this might be a little easier if you could sink down a bit."

He just rolled his eyes

I got inside his jacket easily, its not like this was the first time. "Ooh, do you work out?"

I get the sonic screwdriver out and look at it in awe. This is much more eccentric but undoubtedly the same tool. I turn to Sarah only to be blindsided for a second time, "Sarah, its kind of like-"

Grimy tribal cave men had Sarah at the throat.

I turn back to Doctor, "Doctor, what do I do? What do I do?"

"Easy, now." He said calmingly, "Just point and think."

"About what?" I closed my eyes.

I heard heavy footsteps retreating. I didn't hear Sarah, they must have been carrying her.

"Doctor!" I nearly shouted.

"About the strands of this net losing potency, the fibers ripping apart, until there is a hole in the net." He said calmly.

I wanted to think about his head exploding, but there wasn't any time for that.  So, I did what he said, I thought of a hole ripping, strand by strand- I heard a thud.

I opened my eyes to see that doctor had fallen out of the bottom.

He got up, rubbing his back.  I held out the sonic screwdriver for him to take, "No apologies for the rough landing?", he took the sonic.

"No, that's what you get for treating this as a game," I crossed my arms, "Now, get Sarah back."

"You're right, my apologies." He said walking then turned back to me, "They probably already have her  at their camp site."
