Sat on the jump seat of the TARDIS, the Doctor let out another deep sigh. His long, thin legs were perched on the edge of the console, while his hands fiddled with the small device he'd been tinkering with for a good half hour.
"What more can I do to you?" He muttered to the device, holding up to his face. "I don't even remember what I was meant to be doing..."
He placed the small object beside him, removing his thick black rimmed glasses and placing them back into the jacket of his blue suit. Looking around, he realised just how quiet it was without Donna. Usually she would be sat beside him, laughing about something stupid they had gotten up to recently or joking about how skinny he was. But no. She was gone. Along with everyone else.
Suddenly, a loud bleeping noise began to emit from the TARDIS, bringing the Doctor out of his thinking trance. Instantly, the Doctor sprang to his feet, pulling the monitor around to face him so he could read the Gallifreyan symbols blurting all over the screen.
"Oh that's interesting," The Doctor commented to himself. "An alien signal,eh? Well, let's check it out!"
He ran around to the other side of the console and began to frantically push levers and press buttons as he locked onto the signal the time machine was picking up. The large green rotor began to groan into life and the Doctor sprinted back around to the monitor. After a few moments of being thrown about, the Doctor heard the TARDIS thump to a halt.
"Getting a bit rough old girl, were both not as young as we used to be, can't afford to be knocked around like that anymore." He said to his ship affectionately, giving the console a pat. He then glided over to the coral beam that his coat was hanging onto and he shrugged it onto his shoulders. "Right then, Allons-y!"
The Doctor walked over to the TARDIS doors and slowly began to open them, with no idea what to expect.
