It was the biggest conference on plant life that the Doctor had ever been to. Not just Earth plant life, but all sorts of alien planets. All the biggest names in botany would be there. It was exactly the type of thing his companion would love. The Doctor had already been to it, of course. Back when he was actually fascinated by plants. Indeed, he had sorted out a murder attempt on one of the professors. But that was several lifetimes ago. Peri wouldn't recognize his former self if she ran into him, so he didn't worry about that. And he didn't have any memory of meeting her. So he assumed if there was a meeting between them, it was just a one time thing where he didn't remember her. The Doctor knew it would make Peri happy, and that's why he did it.<br/><br/>Closing the doors behind him, the Doctor came back into the control room and started pressing buttons. "Ah. Where to now?" All of a sudden there was a large bang as the TARDIS lurched. The Doctor was thrown to the floor and the hat rack behind him fell over. "What the hell!" The Doctor quickly stood back up and frantically pressed buttons on the console. "What's the matter old girl!" he said grumpily. Annoyed at whatever was happening. It hadn't ever happened before either. The TARDIS was being pulled off course. Being plucked out of the vortex. HIS TARDIS! How dare whoever was doing this! He'd have to give him a piece of his mind.<br/><br/>His thoughts were cut short as the console read something absolutely impossible. "PRE-UNIVERSE! Now that is impossible. Come on old girl, you know better than this!" Though he was cut off again as the TARDIS suddenly just stopped. Everything went dark, the entire console was offline. He tried pressing buttons, but nothing worked. He couldn't even get the scanner to work. But the door controls were working. "Well now. Let's see who this mysterious entity is who thinks they can pull me off course."<br/><br/>As the Doctor stepped outside, he was immediately struck by the ruins. He was on a ruined world. In the pre-universe? Somehow he doubted it. That was impossible. Even for a TARDIS. The Time Lords had never been able to go back that far. To the time when the universe didn't exist. It was just impossible. Though what he saw next distracted him from the ruins even more.<br/><br/>Five other TARDIS's stood around him. The same blue police box that he had. The Doctor's jaw dropped as he looked at the other people around him. Two of them he recognized as himself, but three he didn't recognize. But since the other two were also him, he assumed the three he didn't recognize were also him. He looked at them and began shouting. "Do you five have any idea how many laws we're breaking just by being here! Not even the Time Lords have been able to go back this far! And look at us. Six of us here. I'm getting a headache just thinking about all the paperwork!" He walked towards the others in the group, a frown on his face.
