Interacting with the Interface.

Peaceful days within the Tardis where almost unheard of. Rare where the days that could be spent exploring the vast and random disarray of rooms that awaited it the corridors of the time machine or simply sitting down and enjoying the peace. Today was one of those golden days, the days where Amy could simply catch her breath and watch the world pass her by.

And then, all too soon, the peace was shattered by a loud chorus of bangs coming from the control console and a shout of surprise from the Doctor.

"Doctor?" Amy called out, slightly worried that this last series of bangs was much louder than the previous ones that had been occurring all day and had been accompanied by billowing smoke being issued by one of the nearby panels.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" replied the Doctor hastily " just a glitch is all" Amy had to refrain from rolling her eyes at hearing this, this same glitch was the reason that so far today nobody had set foot outside of the Tardis, not that Amy and Rory minded but the Doctor tended to become slightly…unmanageable when trapped inside.

"Anything I can help with? You know like, finding the manual for this thing or something?" Amy asked looking for anything that might indicate a manual " 'cause you know, you've been down there for most of the day and nothing seems to be any closer to working." she said while looking down through the clear glass of the floor to see the Doctor trying diligently to fuse together two wires that seemed to be sparking more than was probably healthy.

"Well, you see…I don't…" the Doctor sighed and looked up at her before mumbling something unintelligible.

"Speak up, I can't hear you." said Amy as she bounded down the stairs to be at the same level as him. The Doctor looked up her with a slightly guilty look upon his face,

" Well, I did have a manual for the Tardis but, well the thing of it is see, we had a slight disagreement.."

"You had a disagreement?" asked Amy disbelievingly.

"Ah, actually it turned out the manual was wrong, so I … threw it out" replied the Doctor, his eyes cast down at the floor.

"Great, so no instructions. Have you tried turning it on and off again?" asked Amy unaware of the look of amusement that was creeping into the man's eyes "You could try kicking it, always worked with my old Tv. Oh I don't know" she said defensively catching the smile that was beginning to form on the Doctor's face " You must have some sort of built in help program or something-" Amy broke her rant after seeing the suddenly hopeful look on the timelords face. "Doctor?" she asked hesitantly and was surprised when he jumped up from he floor where he was crouching and ran around to the other side of the space they were in and began fusing and splicing wires at a impossible speed.

"Amy I need you to go back up on deck and ask for the voice interface, it should work, hang on a sec" the Doctor broke off as he retrieved his sonic screwdriver from his pocket, used it and looked at the reading it displayed "yep, ask for the voice interface and tell it to run a diagnostic"

"Right got it" said Amy before turning to walk back up the stairs " hang on," she said pausing at the bottom of the stairs and looking back around at the Doctor with a confused look on her face " What is it? The voice interface, I mean?"

"Oh, just a help program" replied the Doctor without looking up from the wire in his hands that he was frowning at " should be able to tell us what's actually wrong" he said looking up with a smile as he watched Amy accept his words and bound up the stairs.

Standing by the console Amy looked around, where was she supposed to ask for the program? When she saw nothing that looked like it might give her any help she spun around to face the console.

"Okay… I need to use the voice interface" she said addressing the console and feeling extremely stupid as nothing happened. After a few seconds jut as she was going to go back down the stairs and ask the Doctor an image flickered to life in front of her.

It was the Doctor.
