The TARDIS lurched a little as the TARDIS soared into the future.

“Let’s get as far away from the 1970’s as possible,” the Doctor decided.
“Can we go into the future?” Korena asked excitedly.
“How about the far future?” Conner asked, “The furthest forward we’ve been in a while was the year 3 billion and something.”
“When was that?” Korena asked.
“Well there was this super-evil monster who killed loads of crew members,” Georgia explained, “It’s sort of hard to explain.”

“Far future it is,” the Doctor agreed, “This is the furthest you’ve been.”
“Past the year 5 billion?” Georgia asked.
“Yeah,” the Doctor replied.
“You’ve been to the year 5 billion?” Korena asked in an interested voice, “What happened then?”
“Well we went to New Earth,” Conner replied.
“Because Earth was destroyed recently,” Georgia explained, “The sun expanded… again.”
“I thought Earth was only supposed to be around for a few million years,” Korena said, “I thought it would have died long before the year 5 billion.”

“Are we going to New Earth again Doctor?” Georgia asked.
“No, I thought we’d go somewhere else,” the Doctor replied, “Pulling a lever as the TARDIS stopped.” Korena looked around at the others, as she tried to contain her excitement; she knew it would be the same every time they landed somewhere new.
“You can go out first,” the Doctor said, and Korena smiled widely like a small child as she rushed out of the TARDIS. The others followed quickly afterwards, they were in a huge deserted building with white walls and huge shining windows. There were golden coloured doors on the sides of the rooms and huge tapestries that looked very old but well kept. Korena was already staring out of one of the windows, Georgia and Conner walked up to Korena, while the Doctor leaned on the TARDIS.

“It’s amazing,” Korena commented. The land she was staring out onto was beautiful, but strangely deserted, with beautiful futuristic buildings and castles.
“This city is beautiful,” Georgia replied, “Where are we Doctor?” Georgia turned to see a green light surround the TARDIS and the Doctor.
“Oh I hate teleports,” the Doctor said as he vanished.
“Where did the Doctor go?” Conner asked anxiously.
“He was teleported, with the TARDIS,” Georgia answered annoyed.
“We must find him or will be stuck in the future forever,” Korena observed.
“The future forever,” commented Georgia, “Sounds like the name of a book.”
“What books do you read?” Conner asked.

“Can we focus please?” Korena replied, “We’re stuck on this unknown planet and the Doctor and the TARDIS have vanished.”
“That’s a point I wonder where we are?” Conner said.
“Maybe we’ve finally come to the Planet marshmallow!” Georgia exclaimed.
“What do you mean finally?” Conner asked, “We’ve been there before.”
“Well not really,” Georgia replied, “We only saw the inside of that old people’s home.”
“Shouldn’t we try and explore or something and try to find the Doctor,” Korena suggested, “I mean he could be anywhere so we should start searching now.”
“Yeah, but knowing him he’ll turn up when we least expect it,” Georgia replied, “Come on lets try this door.” Georgia walked over to the door and opened it; together Georgia, Conner and Korena stepped through the door into a room that looked exactly the same. It had the same tapestry, the same windows, the same golden doors.

“I thought we just left this room,” Conner said.
“Come on let’s try that door,” Georgia replied, walking over to an identical door on the other side of the room. She opened a door and they stepped through it, into another identical room.
“I think we’re experiencing déjà vu,” Conner commented.
“Maybe we should try a different door,” Korena suggested.
“Alright,” Georgia replied, “But if I walk into this room again I will scream.” They tried another door on their left and walked straight into another identical room, but this time there was a blue-skinned alien and a human-like alien sitting in the middle of the room.

“It’s the Doctor!” Georgia exclaimed, beginning to run towards the aliens and then stopping when she got closer, “Oh no wait, it isn’t, but his hair...”
“I can see what you mean Georgia, his hair is so like the Doctors,” Korena said.

“They’re Humans!” the blue-skinned aliens exclaimed, as he saw them.
“Yes, we are,” Georgia said proudly.
“They look a bit digi-humanish to me,” the human-like alien said.
“We are humans,” Conner said, “I’m Conner, this is Georgia and Korena.”
“I’m ZigZag,” the blue alien replied.
“I’m Fwarr,” the human-like alien said, “I know I look human, but I’m actually half android.”
“Cool,” Georgia said hastily, “Now how do we get out of this endless room.”
“We don’t know,” ZigZag answered, “You see we arrived and then somebody teleported our transport away.”
“Oh that’s what happened to our transport and pilot,” Korena said.

“We’ve been stuck here for a day,” ZigZag said, “I am so thirsty.”
“And me,” Fwarr added, “We wandered for half an hour, but I swear this city is desolate and every room we go into looks like this one.”

“Why did you come here?” Korena asked.
“Why did you come here?” ZigZag asked.
“Why did you come here?” Conner asked.
“Why did you come here?” Fwarr asked.
“TRAVELLING!” Georgia shouted, then looked embarrassed at her outburst.

“Yeah, we went on a bit of a magical mystery tour,” Conner explained.
“We came here to see if the stories were true,” ZigZag explained.
“Stories?” Korena asked.
“Apparently, anybody who ever comes here never leaves,” Fwarr answered, “Strange thing is I’ve seen no skeletons.”
“Maybe they leave you to die, then when you do, they dispose of your bones,” Georgia suggested, “Bonekickers!”
“Right...” ZigZag muttered.

“This place does look very well kept,” Korena observed, “Those tapestries look centuries old, but they look so clean, and the windows are clean and every where’s clean.”
“Maybe the person who owns this place has OCD,” Conner suggested.
“No but you don’t get it, if we wait long enough surely some cleaner will come along and... clean,” Korena finished lamely.
“I can see her point,” Fwarr said.

“Seriously, you have an uncanny resemblance to the Doctor,” Georgia told Fwarr randomly.
“That’s nice, who’s the Doctor?” Fwarr asked.
“He’s... somewhere,” Georgia said.

“Maybe we should shout,” Korena suggested.
“Because this place is populated so somebody will hear,” Conner said sarcastically.
“I don’t want to do any shouting,” ZigZag said, “I haven’t had anything to eat or drink for over a day, and I feel incredibly weak.”
“The Doctor must be somewhere around,” Georgia said.
“He could have been transported to another galaxy, depending on the strength of the teleport,” ZigZag said.
“Well he can save us then,” Georgia said.
“I’m sorry, I think we’re going to die here,” Fwarr said.
“But you don’t know the Doctor,” Georgia replied, “He’s got to...”
“Stuck in the future forever,” Korena commented, “I’ll never get to see my family ever again, and I didn’t even say goodbye to them.”


The Doctor, meanwhile, had been transported to what looked like a spaceship parking lot. There were hundreds of vehicles and spaceships in the area, but strangely no people. The Doctor had walked for a long time before he had finally reached a door, which was locked. He took out his sonic screwdriver, which made a high pitched sound, and the door opened. The Doctor entered a strange looking control room. There were screens on every wall, even the door and there were buttons and control panels beneath the screens. There was a chair by one of the screens and sitting in it, was a large blue-skinned alien.

“Hello?” the Doctor said.
“Argh, how did you get in?” the alien asked.
“I was teleported into that huge spaceship parking thing,” the Doctor replied, “You have quite a collection.”
“Thank you; of course I don’t use them,” the alien replied, “Some of them are genuine antiques, I’m Boom by the way.”
“I’m the Doctor,” the Doctor answered, “Were you the one that teleported me here?”
“Possibly,” Boom said.
“I was leaning on my blue box spaceship,” the Doctor explained, not wishing to reveal that it was a TARDIS, in case this alien knew what one was, it was the far future after all.
“Oh, I accidentally teleported you here,” Boom said, “Sorry about that... I’ll just send you back.”
“Don’t you dare,” the Doctor said, “You don’t think I realise what’s going on?”
“I don’t think you realise what’s going on,” Boom replied.

“Honestly, you’re so thick,” the Doctor said harshly, “You thought you’d be able to get away with this spaceship stealing and the murder.”
“I have not stolen these spaceships!” Boom snarled.
“So you teleported my spaceship here to give it a clean did you?” the Doctor asked.
“Alright I never murdered anybody,” Boom snapped.
“Then what happens to those who are left stranded on Ytee?” the Doctor asked.
“How do you know the planets name?” Boom asked in a demanding voice.
“What happens to those stranded on the planet?” the Doctor asked in a raised voice.
“They are stolen, by my cleaners,” Boom replied.
“Your cleaners, hang on do you own Ytee?” the Doctor asked.

“Yes, it’s mine, by rights, my brother never should have got it,” Boom explained, “He was mentally unstable. All I got was a mildly huge spaceship thing from mum and dad, and a lot of money. They were thick to be honest, giving me all that money, but not giving me the planet. So I killed my brother, once my parents were dead, and then sold the population of Ytee into slavery, secretly.”
“You did what?” the Doctor asked.
“Yes, some of my slaves... I mean cleaners, remove anybody who they find there,” Boom continued, “While I teleport any spaceships I see on my camera system, to my huge spaceship, which is here. Once my collection is big enough I’ll sell it for trillions of Ytee pounds.”
“Nice money-making plan, but stupid since you’ve already got lots of money,” the Doctor pointed out.
“Damn...” Boom said, “You’ve ruined my plan, for that I KILL YOU!” Boom pulled out a gun from his pocket, while the Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver.

“What’s that?” Boom asked.
“Sonic screwdriver, what’s that?” the Doctor replied.
“A compact zooton ray,” Boom answered.
“Good, that means I can do this,” the Doctor said, as his sonic emitted another high-pitched sound and Boom’s gun exploded in his face. The Doctor made his sonic emit the sound for another minute, as the screens in the room smashed and the control panels exploded. A green light surrounded the Doctor and he vanished. He appeared next to the TARDIS, and several other spaceships, in the white-walled room on the planet Ytee.

Korena, Georgia and Conner looked shocked as spaceships began to appear in the room.
“What’s happening?” Korena asked.
“I’m guessing somebody reversed the teleport!” ZigZag exclaimed.
“That means we can all get home!” Georgia said happily.
“There are an awful lot of spaceships,” Fwarr said, “I wonder what happened to the previous owners.”
“They died,” Conner said unsympathetically.

“Let’s go and find the Doctor!” Korena said.
“Alright,” Conner replied, “See you later ZigZag and Fwarr, we’re a couple of rooms along.”
“OK, look Fwarr there’s our ship!”ZigZag said happily running over to a large blue spaceship.
“WATER!” Fwarr yelled, as he ran towards it.

A few minutes later and the Doctor had been reunited with his companions. Korena seemed very relieved. They were about to leave when ZigZag and Fwarr turned up.
“Look Doctor, its your lookalike!” Georgia squealed.
“He doesn’t look like me,” the Doctor muttered.
“Nice hair,” Fwarr told the Doctor.
“Same to you,” the Doctor replied, “What hair stuff do you use?”

“The police are coming,” ZigZag explained, “They seem very relieved that this mystery may be over. I just hope all the owners of these ships didn’t die.”
“Same here,” Georgia said, “Well goodbye!”
“Nice to meet you,” ZigZag said, “And nice to finally meet you Doctor.”
“Nice to meet you too,” Korena said. The Doctor waved as he opened the doors to the TARDIS and stepped inside followed by Georgia, Conner and Korena. As ZigZag and Fwarr turned away a strange noise filled the air, when they looked back the TARDIS had gone.

The End.
