The Doctor ran around the controls. "Now, where were we going before we landed on Licosis. Oh yeah, the Gardens of Tondola."

"Wah!" Sophie screamed as the Tardis doors open and she was sucked out.

"Well that's not good," the Doctor bit his lip. "At least I'm ginger."

"Doctor!" Max yelled.

The Doctor snapped his fingers and shut the Tardis doors. "Dont worry, I'm sure she'll be fine," he gave Max a half hearted smile, staring at him with his kind, green eyes.

"Well," Max gulped. "This has certainly been a rollercoaster of emotions."

"Did I hear you say rollercoaster," the Doctor jumped up and down excitedly. "Oh no," he collapsed to the floor.

"Doctor!" Max sighed and went down to help him. "Here we go again."

Sophie was hurtling through the atmosphere, crashing down towards the bright green planet.

She was getting closer and closer to impact, slamming into the surface.

Zap!

She put out her hands and shot out lightning to stop her fall.

With a thud she painfully hit the ground. The Lightning had stopped her death, but she was still unconscious.

Max ran around the exploding console, trying to stop the Tardis crashing onto the planet.

"Argh!" Max groaned. "The dematierialisation circuit has blown!"

The Doctor got to his feet, his vision blurry. "Hello," he walked into Max.

"Yes," Max moved away, trying to sort out the Tardis.

"Hello?" The Doctor felt Max's face.

"Yes, hello!" Max slapped the Doctor's hand away as he worked the controls.

"Hey!" The Doctor hugged Max and slid down his body until he was hugging Max's legs.

"Doctor!" Max groaned as he shook the Doctor off.

"Uhhhh," the Doctor lost consciousness again.

"Oh no, no, NO," Max dragged the Doctor away from the console. "Of all places to lose consciousness."

Max returned to the console and pulled the front off a hexagonal panel. Behind the panel the dematierialisation circuit had been knocked out of place.

He put it back in place and the central column began to rise up and down.

"Yeah!" Max celebrated as the ship landed.

"Whoo hoo!" The Doctor regained consciousness again and ran to the Tardis doors. "I did it."

Max crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Excellent job Doctor."

"Thanks," the Doctor bowed as he opened the door and a tree branch smacked him in the face. He fell to the floor and felt his cheek. "That was unexpected."

Max helped the Doctor up and observed what was outside the ship. "I think we've matierialised inside a bush."

"Really," the Doctor was actually suprised. "Whoah! I'm so interested!"

"Yeah," Max gave an uneasy smile at the Doctor. "You didn't take anything before you regenerated did you."

"Drugs are bad!" The Doctor shoved his finger in Max's face before he walked into the bush outside the Tardis and dissapeared behind some branches.
