The Doctor's Wife [Part 4 - FINAL]

Outside, Planet surface, Night...

The Doctor ran across the surface of the planet, scanning with the sonic screwdriver, Lexi and Idris following. They all climbed atop a mound and looked down on a collection of varied ships.

"A valley of half-eaten Tardises." The Doctor smiled. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I'm thinking that all of my sisters are dead." Idris stated sadly. "That they were devoured, and that we are looking at their corpses."

"You're a cheery one." Lexi commented, as she gazed out over all the 'half-eaten' TARDISes.

"Yeah, that's not exactly what I was thinking." The Doctor said in agreement with Lexi.

"No." Idris said. "You were thinking you could build a working TARDIS console out of broken remnants of a hundred different models. And you don't care that it's impossible."

"It's not impossible as long as we are alive." The Doctor said, looking over at Idris and Lexi. "Sky, Rory and Amy need us. So, yeah, we're gonna build a TARDIS."

With that, he headed down into the valley of the broken ships.

"Has he always been like that?" Lexi asked Idris.

"Oh, dearie." She laughed. "700 years and I can honestly say he's as stubborn as they come."

Lexi laughed.

"That's for sure." She giggled as she and Idris began making their way down into the valley of broken ships.

Inside, TARDIS, Corridors...

Sky, Amy and Rory all ran down the corridor.

"So, are we having fun yet?" House asked. "I'm rather enjoying the sensation of having you running around inside me."

"Stop!" Sky shouted, stopping abruptly just before he almost fell into a pit. Amy and Rory came to an abrupt halt right behind him.

"I have turned off the corridor anti-ground, so do be careful." House told the trio.

"Come on." Sky instructed, leading the couple as they made their way around the thin ledge. Sky reached the other side first and pulled Amy to safety just as she was about to slip. He watched and made sure Rory got around the ledge just fine before they all continued running.

Outside, Planet surface...

The Doctor, Idris and Lexi had put together a shell of a room with a small console in the middle.

Idris popped up and tapped a small piece of equipment with her finger. "Bond the tube directly into the Tachyon Diverter."

Lexi popped up right next to her. "The what?"

"Yes, yes, I have actually rebuilt a TARDIS before, you know. I know what I'm doing." The Doctor rolled his eyes as he dragged a piece of wall by a rope.

"You're like a nine-year-old trying to rebuild a motorbike in his bedroom." Idris commented. "And you never read the instructions."

"I always read the instructions!"

"There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for 700 years. What does it say?"

"I know." Lexi said in a sing-song voice.

"Yes, I know you do, dearie." Idris smiled over at her.

"That's not instructions!" The Doctor objected.

"There's an instruction at the bottom. What does it say?" Idris pressed on.

"Pull to open."

"Yes, and what do you do?"
