Doctor Who and the Serpent's Mask

Chapter 2 - Free-Fall

"I'm sorry what?!" the Doctor said as he walks along the TARDIS Corridors which the ship is in current flight. His companion, Samantha Grimshaw is walking beside him.
"We should invite Gabby on the journey." She said, the Time Lord stops on his pace and turns his view to his companion. Gabby knows the look that the Doctor is giving her.
"I think it will be best."
"Why do want her to join all of a sudden?" Asked the Doctor. Samantha couldn't think of a response that won't be embarrassing to her, the Time Lord began to study her.
"Do you like her or something?" He asked and immediately she replied with a No. The Doctor cocked one of his silver eyebrows then just shrugged it off, he looked ahead and spot on that's leaning against on the walls of the Corridors. "Oh, there you are!"
The Doctor began to walk towards them which is guitar and his Amplifier. "This old girl has a tendency to move my things without my knowledge." He began to tune his instrument then look back at his companion which he found her looking back at him with her arms hugged her upper body.
"What?"
She let out a sigh. "I do like her ok!"
The Doctor taps the end of his Guitar with his index finger while keeping his fix on Samantha for a brief moment. He took his gaze off as he walks to one of the Doors, he opens it which leaves the path to the TARDIS Control Room. "You know you don't have to keep that kind secret from me, Sam, You can love who you want to love, I had a companion who's like that and If memory serves that Sammy likes men" He took a pause on his thought. "And Women?"
The Time Lord shakes his head. "I don't know, He can be complicated."
"I thought the way of the Control Room was 50 ft. down?" Said, Samantha, as she enters in the Control Console as well.
"Yeah, it probably was." The Doctor places his Guitar on one of the rails then walks back to the Control Console as he leans close to one the sides to where there is a Glass Jar sitting next to the Time Rotter. Inside is a Glowing speck with a simple face. "How are you doing little fella?"
"Does it still have the frowny face?" Samantha asked.
The Doctor leans back. "Yeah." He began to work is way around the controls. Samantha leans against on the opposite side of where the Doctor is.
"You know you can't get rid of me that easily." She said.
"Even if I tell you that; you are a handful." The Doctor said.
"I'm still here in the TARDIS, traveling."
The Doctor didn't say anything else after that, he just grins slightly but really trying not to, he flips one of the small switches of the panel he's standing in front off then suddenly Sparks began shooting out of the center as the Ship itself began jolting violently causing the Doctor and Samantha to lose their balance and hold tightly to the Control Console.
"Doctor, what's happening?" Samantha shouts over the loud distortion of the TARDIS Engines.
"We're falling!" the Doctor shouted back.
"Is that Possible?"
"It Shouldn't be. I can't get the TARDIS to keep in flight as if something is pulling her towards something."
