"Clara, pull that lever for me will you." the Doctor asked as the TARDIS shuddered.

"Where is it?" Clara asked in a panicked voice, searching for the lever. The TARDIS shuddered again and then tilted to the side.

"The one right there!" the Doctor answered, holding onto the TARDIS tighter as it jerked to the right. Clara spotted a lever and quickly pulled it down. Again, the TARDIS shuddered, but more violently this time. They were spun around in different directions and as the Doctor and Clara tried to hold on, the TARDIS spluttered and then the engine cut down.

The Doctor stared at the TARDIS, wide eyed. He slowly turned to Clara and asked, "Clara...which lever did you pull?" There was silence. The Doctor looked at Clara his eyes widening even further, and she in return looked at him, her eyes were wide as well and they were filled with clear worry.

"Wh-what do you mean? I can only see this lever!" Clara exclaimed. Clara pointed at the TARDIS showing the Doctor which lever she pulled. The Doctor's gaze followed Clara's finger, which was indeed on top of a lever. The Doctor rubbed his neck sheepishly. "You pulled it the wrong way. I forgot to tell you to pull the lever up, not down. My bad..." Clara's eyes widened even further.

"Th-then, what's happened to the TARDIS?" Clara asked. The Doctor looked down at the glass floor of the TARDIS sheepishly. "Parallel universish, kind of place thingy." The Doctor answered. Clara's expression changed from a look of worry to a look of confusion, "What do you mean by 'parallel universish'?"

"It's all timey-wimey and spacy-wacey." the Doctor began to explain. "When you pulled the lever it caused the TARDIS to make the sun in the TARDIS heat up even further which made the TARDIS travel faster and go out of control which caused a  pressured fluctuation in the time and space continuum which caused a tear in the universe to other parallel universes. Except if the damage is big, it might have caused gateways to several different universes which is really, really bad."

Clara looked at the Doctor blankly. "I'll just stick with timey-wimey, spacy-wacey problem. So, then, where are we? Are we just floating in space?"

"No, no, we would be in a parallel universe right now, we've landed, I know that much, but I don't know which universe we are in. The tear in time and space would have caused gateways to other universes as well. We have to find them and close them up before it causes any problems." The Doctor answered really quickly.

"I...I thought you said that gateways would only open if the damage was big or something?"

"The damage is big! The pressured fluctuation happened during the climax of the TARDIS's journey. There will be several gateways to several different universes!"

"Th-then what are we going to do?" Clara asked, panicking again.

"We've got to find them and close them! I know which universes have been opened up so it shouldn't be too hard...hopefully."

"Then which universes are they? And how do you know about this?" Clara asked more confused then ever!

"They would be the parallel universes I have already travelled to before. I know this because it's in the TARDIS's manual. Now stop asking stupid questions. I need to think..."

"I thought you didn't read the manual and just threw into a supernova!" Clara asked, making the Doctor sigh.

"I did! Well, kinda did. I just flicked through it then threw it away! I didn't agree with it! I only read certain bits, and I just happened to read about this but just happened to not read how to fix it! I didn't think it would actually happen!" the Doctor explained exasperated.

Clara sighed and rubbed her temples. "Then which universes have you travelled to?"

"Only three, that is including our universe. The journey to another universe drains the TARDIS's power a lot so I haven't been to many." The Doctor replied in a matter-of-fact voice.
