The Doctor entered the TARDIS with a man, who walked right up to Neffy and Elise.

Elise wasn't too fond of the Egyptian Queen, but she'd promised the Doctor she would try to be nice.

"And who might this lovely creature be?" the man asked, kissing the back of Elise's hand. Neffy laughed at the uncomfortable expression on Elise's face.

"Riddell, this is Queen Nefertiti of Egypt and my daughter, Elise," the Doctor said.

"Daughter, eh? Where were you the last time I saw the Doctor?" Riddell asked.

Elise yanked her hand out of his. "With my mother."

"So he was keeping you from me?"

Elise blushed furiously. "I am no man's property!"

Neffy smiled seeing the fire in Elise. Maybe the younger woman wasn't too bad after all.

The TARDIS took off again and a few seconds later, Amy, Rory, and an older man on a stepladder were standing in the TARDIS.

"Hello! You weren't busy, were you? Well, even if you were, it wasn't as interesting as this probably is. Didn't want you to miss it. Now, just a quick hop."

The TARDIS landed.

"Everybody grab a torch."

The man on the stepladder dropped the light bulb he was holding. Elise grabbed a torch and walked over to the older man. "I'm so sorry," she told him.

They were the last two out of the TARDIS.

"What the...?" he asked.

"Don't move!" the Doctor yelled. He spun around and walked towards Elise and the man. "Do you really think I'm that stupid I wouldn't notice? How did you get aboard, eh? Transmat? Who sent you?"

"Doctor. That's my dad," Rory told him.

"Well frankly, that's outrageous."

"What?"

"You think you can just bring your dad along without asking? I'm not a taxi service, you know."

"You materialized around us!"

"Oh. Well, that's fine, then. My mistake. Hello, Brian. How are you?" The Doctor shook his hand. "Nice to meet you. Welcome, welcome. This is the gang. I've got a gang. Yes. Come on then, everyone."

Everyone followed after the Doctor, except Rory and Brian.

There was a persistent thudding noise echoing through the spaceship.

"All right, where are we?" Amy asked, "What is that noise and hello, ten months?"

"Well, I sense it's orbiting. More like pre-crashing. On a spaceship, don't know, and hello, Pond." The two of them hugged. "Ten months. Time flies. Never really understood that phrase. This is Neffy, this is Riddell. They're with me." The Doctor gestured to his two out-of-time companions.

"Charmed," Riddell said.

"With you? They're with you? Are they the new us? Is that why we haven't seen you?" Amy asked.

"No. They're just people. They're not Ponds. I thought we might need a new gang. Not really had a gang before. It's new," the Doctor told her.

At the end of the corridor there was a door with red lights on either side of it.

"It's coming down."

"What is it?" Riddell asked.

"No idea."

The doors opened and two large creatures walked out.

Elise's mouth dropped open.

"Not possible," Brian said.

"Run!" the Doctor told them.

The group of companions ran and hid, while Elise and the Doctor stood their ground.

"Doctor! Elise!" Amy yelled.

"I know," the Doctor said. He turned to Elise with a smile. "Dinosaurs! On a spaceship!"

Amy grabbed the Doctor by the arm and pulled him away from the dinosaurs. Elise looked at the dinosaurs before joining the group.

"In here!" Neffy said, leading them to an alcove.

Riddell pulled out a knife. "I could take one of them. Short blow up into the throat."

"No!" Elise protested.

"Or not. We've just found dinosaurs in space. We need to preserve them," the Doctor told him.

"Who's going to preserve us?"

Amy shushed them as the dinosaurs walked past them.

"Okay, so, how and whose ship?" Rory asked.

"Well, there's so much to discover. Think how wise we'll be by the end of all this," the Doctor said.

"Sorry, sorry. Are you saying dinosaurs are flying a spaceship?" Brian asked.

"Brian, please, that would be ridiculous. They're probably just passengers. Did I mention missiles?"

"Missiles?"

"Didn't want to worry you. Anyway, six hours is a lifetime. Not literally a lifetime. That's what we're trying to avoid. And we're all really clever. Ooo, let's see what we can find out. Come on."

The four of them walked over to a blank monitor and the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to turn it on. "Oh, well done, whoever you are. Looking for engines. Thank you, computer. Look at that. Different sections have engines, but these look like the primary clusters. Where are we now, computer? We need to get down to these engines."

The next thing they knew, they were standing on a beach.

"Find out..." the Doctor trailed off, "What?"

"We're outside. We're on a beach," Brian said.

The Doctor threw a small temper tantrum, stomping his feet and flailing his arms.

"Teleports...Oh, I hate teleports! Must have activated on my voice."

"Ah, yes, well, thank you, Arthur C Clarke. Teleport, obviously. I mean, we're on a spaceship with dinosaurs. Why wouldn't there be a teleport? In fact, why don't we just teleport now?" Brian stormed away from them.

"Is he all right?" the Doctor asked Rory.

"No, he hates traveling. Makes him really anxious. He only goes to the paper shop and golf."

"What did you bring him for?"

"I didn't! Why can't you just phone ahead like any normal person?"

Elise rolled her eyes, wishing she was with Amy and Neffy right now. There was too much testosterone for her liking.

"Somebody tell me where we are, now," Brian demanded.

The Doctor stuck his tongue out, tasting the air. "Well, it's not Earth. Doesn't taste right. Too metallic."

Brian pointed to a creature in the sky making squawking noises. "Is that a kestrel?"

"I do hope so."

Rory knelt down. "The beach is humming."

Elise did the same. "Rory's right." She looked at Rory. "You're getting better at this."

"Thanks," he said, sheepishly.

"Right, well, don't just stand there, you two. Dig. Elise and I are going to look at rocks. Love a rock."

"Wait, what?" Elise asked as the Doctor grabbed her.

"Dig with what?" Rory asked, as they walked away.

"Ah, well," Brian said. He pulled out a trowel and started digging.

"Did you just have that on you?"

"Of course. What sort of man doesn't carry a trowel? Put it on your Christmas list."

Rory knelt down next to his father. "Dad, I'm thirty one. I don't have a Christmas list anymore."

The Doctor spun around with his hands in the air. "I do!"

Rory gave him a thumbs up while Elise rolled her eyes.

Brian dug until he hit metal. "There's a floor under this beach."

Rory jumped up and ran over to the Doctor and Elise. "Doctor! Doctor!"

The two of them discovered a computer disguised as a rock. "See? Metal floors, screens in rocks. It was just a matter of a short range teleport. We're still on the ship," the Doctor told them.

"No, we're outside on a beach," Brian argued.

"It's part of the ship, Dad," Rory said.

"Don't be ridiculous."

"Well, it is quite ridiculous. Also brilliant. That's why the system teleported us here. I wanted the engines. This is the engine room!" The Doctor spun around with his hands in the air. "Hydro-generators! Ha!"

The Doctor put his hands on Rory and Brian's shoulders. "Fabulously impossible. Oh, think of the things we could learn from this ship if we manage to stop it being blown to pieces."

"Plus not dying," Rory added.

"Bad news, can't shut the wave system down in time. It takes..." The Doctor and Elise turned around to find the creature in the sky getting closer to them. "It takes way too long."

"If these are the engines, there must be a control room," Rory said.

"Exactly. That's what we need to find. Now, what do we do about the things that aren't kestrels?"

"Oh my lord. Are those pterodactyls?" Brian asked.

"Yes. On any other occasion, I'd be thrilled. Exposed on a beach, less thrilled. We should be going." The Doctor grabbed Brian's hand and Elise grabbed Rory's.

"Where?" Brian asked.

"Er, definitely away from them."

"That's the plan?" Rory snapped.

"That's the plan. Amendments welcome. Move away from the pterodactyls." "I think they might be noticing."

"Amendment passed. Run!"

The four of them started running.

"Why don't we just teleport or something?"

"No! Local teleport burnt out on arrival. There's an opening in the cliffs over there!"

"Come on!"

"I'm trying!" Brian yelled.

They finally reached the cave entrance as one of the pterodactyls snapped at Rory's shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Elise asked him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Right, what do we do now? There's no way back out there."

"Through the cave. Come on," the Doctor told them.

There were loud thuds coming towards them.

"That suggestion was a work in progress."

"We're trapped," Brian said.

"Yes, thanks for spelling it out."

"Doctor, whatever's down there is coming this way," Rory noted.

"Spelling it out is hereditary. Wonderful."

"That sound's getting nearer," Brian observed.

Soon, two large robots were standing in front of them.

One of them looked at the group and said, "We're very cross with you."
