Chapter Two

The lid of the oyster shaped ship crept open slowly, a blinding pink light emerging from within, dimming quickly at the hiss of the engine turning off. Two large figures clambered out with as much grace as two blind elephants, whispering to one another in hushed voices, the light from the ship only just showing their outlines.
“I thought you said it was here..” the larger one growled in a low voice, scratching his pig-like nose.
“It is.. I’m sure of it..” the other figure looked up at his friend, and boss, and pulled out a small item which looked like a cross between the standard Earth PDA and a small satellite dish. “Look..” he pointed at the screen and his friend grunted in reply.
“Look at the date, Ophamech…” the larger figure pointed a stubby finger at the top corner of the screen, which read January 25th 1905.
“What about it?” Ophamech looked up, clearly puzzled.
“It hasn’t been found yet!” the larger creature growled, running a hand through the short about of hair he had before whacking Ophamech over the back of the head “Now what do we do?”
“Well, it’s not the end of the world, Chapivosh” Ophamech shrugged “Only a few hours to go..”

“Where are we going?” Donna asked, clearly irritated. They’d been walking now for what felt like hours and the noise the insects were making in the tall grass they were currently walking through was slightly creeping her out, and slightly just bugging the hell out of her.
“Donna…” the Doctor had, by now, pulled out his sonic screwdriver and was using it to scan the area for.. well, whatever had made the TARDIS crash land.
“Well you always have me walking aimlessly..”
“Never aimlessly, Donna.. there’s always a point… most of the time” he flashed her a grin before raising his sonic screwdriver to his ear, listening to the gentle buzzing. “I just.. can’t work it out”
“What is it?” Donna raised an eyebrow, her eyes scanning the surrounding area as she secretly looked for lions while contemplating just why the Doctor was always full of contradictions. Not that she really minded, it was more interesting that way.
“There’s two signals…”
“And that means?”
“I’m not sure yet..”
“Oh, well that’s helpful” she replied, sarcastically, glancing around once more before looking straight at the Doctor who’d begun searching through his pockets.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m looking for a torch or something.. It’s pretty dark.. Are you always so full of questions?”
“Do you have to ask that? Really?”
“See.. two in that one sentence.. Ah-ha..” he grinned, pulling out a wind-up torch and beginning to wind it up.
“Trust you to have a wind-up torch” Donna mocked, but was secretly glad of the break in the darkness.
“Well it saves on batteries..”
