for [livejournal.com profile] faiththatfuelsu: Trip to Frioro 8.

Following this.

Frioro 8 was a lovely planet just outside of the Daystar Nebula. Highly advanced but fairly welcome to tourists, it wasn't a bad place to take Faith for her first outing. And it would be good for her, he decided. She didn't deserve to think that living without proper sleep or dinner was normal. No matter how much excitement was in her life (and he had a feeling she rivaled him in excitement), she deserved the basics.

And maybe she'd be good for him, too. After Mars, after everything that had happened, he was loathe to run off to Ood Sigma anytime soon. Maybe enjoy himself with Faith for a bit, see a few stars in the meantime, then find out just where his song ended.

"This is the TARDIS," he said to Faith, gesturing to the big, blue box. "Our method of transport."

"Ever wanted to change something big?" She didn't know if she'd have the same kind of will he apparently did. Her curiosity would end up getting the better of her.

"To what?" Because breaking something was not on the agenda.

He glanced over the console at her again, this time with less flippancy. "More times than I should've."

He nodded to the console. "Just the side there. The coral's pretty tough. And you might want to now..."

He pulled the parking brake, sending the ship hurtling through time and space.

She did as he directed and grabbed hold of the coral just in time. Even with Slayer reflexes she nearly lost her footing, and her eyes went a bit wide in surprise.

"Thing has some wicked get up and go, Doc."

"Power of a black hole, Faith. That's about a billion times more horsepower than you're used to. Certainly a lot more fuel-efficient, too."

He grinned madly and grabbed the hand brake, pulling the ship to a sharp stop. He lost his balance and tumbled backwards onto the grating. All in a day's driving.

"Brilliant!"

"You really don't do anything in halves, do you?" She was pretty sure that if she'd been someone else, she'd have gone into a state of shock with all of this.

She was also sure she would have laughed when the Doctor went tumbling if she hadn't nearly landed on her ass again herself. "You do this how often?"

Just because she hadn't laughed, didn't mean that she wouldn't take the chance to rib him good naturedly.

"All the time!" the Doctor replied joyfully, hopping back to his feet. He pulled the monitor towards himself and grinned madly at the calculations on the screen.

"Perfect landing! Not that I don't always have a perfect landing, but---I might not always have a perfect landing." He grabbed his coat and hopped towards the doors.

"Bite to eat and a long, dreamless sleep. Sound like fun?"





OOC: Sorry for the long delay!
