Living A Dream P30The TARDIS materialised in the workshop in exactly the same place as before, and the Doctor and Amy stepped out.Their mouths fell open at the sight before them."Doctor, what happened?"The workshop was thrown into chaos- scorch marks marked the piles of scrap metal, the lights hung from the ceiling haphazardly- flickering madly in a way likely to cause headaches- and the previously shining white clean floor gritted beneath their feet with a strange and melancholy mixture of oil and mud. A sharp, acrid smell sliced its way through their senses, bringing them to full alert. There was an eerie silence, broken only by the grating sound of th
Hearts aren't LifeHere I am, living lifeAccomplishing its feats,Yet if in fact it's my heart you've stolenThen why does it still beat?
Living a Dream P29The MITES locator powered up and started processing the energy imprint. Entis looked at them, "This is going to take a while.""How long?" the Doctor asked."Three days, at least."Amy looked at the Doctor, "Can we grab lunch? I'm starving."He nodded, "We'll go grab some chips. Fenn, I think we'll take a quick jump forward in the TARDIS, if you don't mind."Fenn looked at him, "You're not going to stay?"The Doctor shrugged, "What for? I've got other things to do.

Then he heard the TARDIS rotors going.He jumped up, pulled a dressing gown over his pyjamas and scooted down various corridors and fell into the console room.Fenn laughed as she fiddled with the console and Amy helped the Doctor up from the floor."In a hurry, Doctor?"He stood up, "What are you doing?""Well, I was bored and I couldn't sleep because of my leg. So I figured that I would go do something while you were catching your beauty sleep.""Like what, exactly?""Vi
