It was the whole proposal situation over again but so much worse. Dearest had been acting rashly and she knew why, she was worried, but he had shut down and was refusing to speak of it, she knew he was sneaking out during the night and she knew he was worried about the warning he had received wanting to fix it and not worry her but that was far too late.
They had spent countless years together and she was hurt and offended that he wasn't confiding in her
"let's go to mars sweetheart, there are some rocks I want to find, fascinating really" he rambled as he came running into the TARDIS tossing a crystal 'that he simply must have' over his shoulder carelessly, he'd be obsessing over that crystal for a weak straight and they'd broken into an ancient museum and gotten shot at only for him to have no need for it anymore. His behaviour was becoming more and more erratic, and she didn't know what to do, she was useless. She abhorred feeling useless.
"so, we're still in denial about everything?" she asked
"I'm not in denial about anything" he retorted keeping a fake smile on his face "come on, you'd look good in a red spacesuit" he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the wardrobe, she sighed and rolled her eyes, allowing it for the moment.
They were soon bundled into matching red suits and he led the way onto the red planet, bouncing with excitement as she followed him cautiously, keeping a careful eye on him, they looked over a crater rim and down onto a base with five outlying domes and a shuttle pad, all connected by walkways
"Oh, beautiful." He beamed as he held onto her hand
"it is rather" she agreed but closed her eyes in annoyance as something jabbed into her lower back
"Rotate slowly." Came the order and they did so, she looked at the little robot in surprise
"You are under arrest for trespassing. Gadget gadget." The robot said
"well, not the worst thing we've been arrested for," Morgana said
"I still say that fire wasn't my fault" Dearest grumbled at her as they were forced towards the base
"Dearest, you were holding the magnifying glass" she reminded him
"How was I supposed to know the precious paper was flammable? They should have treated it" he continued to defend himself, they were directed into the base where they took their suits off when they stepped into the heart of the base they were greeted by a blonde woman and a gun
"State your name, rank, and intention." The woman demanded glaring at them
"The Doctor. Doctor, husband, Father. Fun." The Doctor quickly listed off eyeing up the gun distastefully
"and you?" she turned to Morgana still holding the gun threateningly
"Morgana, Queen, wife, mother and I sort of follow him around and laugh when there's chaos" Morgana replied
"that's it?" she arched an eyebrow at her
"well, you can't expect a Queen to do servants work, can you? I suppose I occasionally help out" Morgana snarked back as a dark-skinned man came running in and gaped at them
"What the hell? It's a man and a woman. A man and woman on Mars. How?" he wondered
"magic" she rolled her eyes
"He was wearing this thing. I have never seen anything like it." Steffi said as Morgana's eyes alighted onto a chart with names and pictures
"What did Mission Control say?" Tarak wondered
