"So, where next?" Tadzi asked his friends.

"Erm, I don't knowwwaaaaaaaghhhhhhh." Ellen started to scream as the ship started shaking uncontrollably, taking them to who knows where.

"What's happening?" Betty screamed as the ship shook uncontrollably.

"I don't know. But this thing's going crazy!" Tadzi bellowed to his friends.

The ship suddenly jerked to a stop and Tadzi ran over to the door as his friends fell down with a sigh full of fear and relief.

"It's locked." Tadzi stated calmly, trying ever so much not to panic.

"What are we gonna dooooooo?" Betty asked/sang.

"No, I do not want to build a snowman!" Rosalinda replied sarcastically, both females obviously obsessed with the Disney movie 'Frozen'.

"Rosalinda, Betty, shut up! Tadzi, where are we?" Gina snapped.

"Exactly the same place we were before. We're still in Dojkol. The ship is just not moving."

"Can we go and explore?" Abigail pleaded.

"You did say this place went on forever..." Ching-Ching agreed.

"Ok, let's start the tour. Hi, I'm your tour guide Tadzi. I hope you have a safe, enjoyable yet educational time here. In the case of an emergency, the exits are not there, not there, and here." Tadzi jingled about as they strolled down the magical corridors.

"This is my study. I haven't been in here since I was in college! But it's boring so let's move on."

"What's in here?" Abigail asked.

"Oh, that's my bedroom. But don't go in ther-"Tadzi screamed but it was too late.

"Was Queen Elizabeth I in your bed?" Ellen accused as Tadzi slammed the door behind them.

"Moving on!" Tadzi squealed, trying to change the subject and avoid the disapproving glances of Gina, and Betty.

As they walked into another room, Tadzi started, "This is...an observatory, I guess."

"The stars are pretty!" Ching-Ching whispered, as if in church and saying a prayer.

"I think we should split up!" Rosalinda suggested.

"What a great idea!" Betty, Gina and Abigail sang in unison.

Abigail, Rosalinda and Ellen were skipping down a corridor,msneaking into different rooms. Abigail expressed her opinions by saying, "Tadzi is a right nutter! He's got a whole room dedicated to 'The Hobbit' and David Walliams is tied up, topless in this cupboard. Not that I'm complaining!"

For some reason, Abigail gets a tiny bit really hyper once a week. No one knows why, but she just freaks out.

Anyway, Abi ran past the closet and through a door further on, which was followed by a........SPLASH, Splash, splash splash, "aaaaaagh!"

She had fallen into a swimming pool. Rosalinda saw the water and just dived in. She hadn't even put her swimming costume on so she stripped off in the pool down to her bra and knickers. After an hour of swimming, Ellen and Abigail were getting a bit bored.

"Please, go on without me! Leave me here. I'm in my element! Don't worry, I can find my own way back to the control room. I'm not an idiot, you know!" But Ellen and Abigail had already escaped, leaving Rosalinda peacefully swimming to her heart's content.

The girls passed a cinema, which was showing Abigail's favourite movie. Abigail obviously wanted to stay, so Ellen decided to explore alone. Not that she had much of a choice.

As Ellen was walking, she noticed a puddle of milk on the floor. She tried to go around it and slipped.

"OOOWWWW!"

......."AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!" She screamed in fear, agony and curiosity.

Ellen had slipped and fallen down a pipe which lea dr an unknown destination. She landed with a bump and had entered a whole new type of cinema. An ordinary cinema. But with one chair. Ellen sat down cautiously and patiently waited for the movie to start.

Ten minutes later, a documentary started playing with a rather strange, rather familiar voiceover, which began their speech, "The planet Alderwhit is located in the Molcover Nebula, in the Sondramot Galaxy. It has been a noble planet ever since it was discovered in 1239. It's capital city, Alderwhit City, was refined and sophisticated, until the huge intergalactic war of Nightmares and Beasts, which destroyed he much-loved city. But now, we owe our lives to one man. And his name, is Tadzi. Prince Tadzi Millington, son of King Janto, made everyone pull together to help rebuild the town. And the city. And the planet. He brought us to where we are today and we are eternally grateful! Tadzi, we salute you!"

Ellen immediately recognised that the voiceover was Gina. Anyway, Ellen, who was now on the edge of her seat, sat back and room a huge breath. She started muttering to herself, as she often did when she was scared, saying, "The War of Nightmares and Beasts! That's horrible. Wait, Ching-Ching said her home planet, Fregon, was fighting in that war."

Ellen ran out of the cinema and sprinted to the other cinema.

"Abigailllll!" She screamed impatiently.

Abigail's movie had finished, so they ran back to the control room. They came back to a very busy Tadzi, Gina, Betty and Rosalinda.

Ellen took Tadzi over to the corner of the room.

"Why did you never tell me what happened to Alderwhit?" Ellen asked sympathetically.

Tadzi, now knowing she had discovered the discarded derelict documentary, replied with, "It's all in my past. I've learned to let it go! I don't want to remember what happened in that awful war. Stupid Brotons."

"But you're a time traveller!"

Betty piped up, "I don't think we should explore the ship anymore. It's too dangerous! If Harold were here, he'd tell me something stupid like 'It's a big old universe out there, Bet. Don't go getting into trouble where I can't find you.'"

Everyone agreed.

"I know! I know!," Abigail squealed, "let's think of a name for your ship, Tadzi!"

Everyone agreed.

"What about 'The TARDIS'?" He asked everyone.

"It's makes you sound like a Doctor!" Gina joked.

"He needs a doctor!" Betty sighed quietly to herself.

"What about Gail?" Abigail suggested.

"You seriously want to call this thing Gail?" Rosalinda pointed out.

"Yeah, we're not half-naming it after you!" Gina snapped. Again.

"That thought never even crossed my mind. Actually. Anyway, it could stand for something. Like, Go Anywhere In Life!" Abigail pitched.

"I like it!" Ellen said proudly to everyone, standing at Abigail's side.

And so, Ellen, Tadzi, Abigail, Gina, Rosalinda and Betty set off on a new adventure in GAIL.

Alone and afraid, the only thing that Ching-Ching could see was darkness.

"Help...." She whispered pathetically.
