Who: Nine and Eleven. (Get it? Who? OH THE PUNNY.)
When: This evening.
Where: Space. Specifically, Gallifrey.
Warnings: Abuse of space travel, bowties and British slang.

Nine was doing a valiant job of pretending that he wasn't annoyed that they had taken Eleven's TARDIS rather than his own. After all, he was a grown man, and he certainly had to acknowledge that the newer TARDIS was a much smarter idea. Either way, his primary emotion was anxiety at the moment, and jealousy over the said new and improved TARDIS was taking a back seat.

He hadn't asked Rose if she wanted to go; this was something he (and he) had to do alone. His gut instinct told him that Gallifrey was gone for good, and that they'd likely find only dead space. But oh, how he ached to find it whole. To know that maybe somewhere, somehow it still survived would make everything just a little brighter.

"All right then?" They were just about ready to leave.

Eleven had probably never unlocked the doors with quite so much... bounciness. Sometimes, he missed the old way, that big lever you just pulled and the door swung open, but this way worked too.

Pushing them open, the sight through them was enough to make him simultaneously stop still and start laughing. It was relief, pure and simple - not only had he landed right, he'd landed right in a grove of trees he'd known as a boy. It looked the same still, right down to the specific shade of silver the leaves had.

"We're home!" He sprang out the door, spinning around in a circle. A giddy Time Lord was probably a rare sight, but he had an excuse. "Beautiful, beautiful Gallifrey. Shining World of the Seven Systems..."

To be honest, he was about ten seconds away from hugging a tree.
