[The (Second) Doctor is walking in the square idly trying to play a tune on his recorder. He doesn't seem to be pleased with his progress.]

If I didn't know better I'd swear this was out of tune.

[Looks around.]

Oh my, quite a lot of people about today. Many new faces. I wonder what's the occasion.

Comments

action;

[keepsticking]

Excuse me. [Harriet reaches out to tap on the man's shoulder.] Harriet Jones, MP Flydale North. I accepted an invitation to visit a place called "the City", and then I was whisked away to this location without so much as a by your leave. Can you tell me where I am?

[reallygreathair]

Welll it has certainly sounded worse.

[The voice comes from the tall thin man in a coat as he looks at the other with a goofy grin.]

[bubblewrapfashion]

What occasion, Doctor?

[seconddoctor_cia]

Zoe? Good heavens what are you doing here? I thought that you had...

[seconddoctor_cia]

Oh? And how would you know?

[Looks the newcomer up and down.]

Have we...? Oh. I see.

Re: action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well, this is the City--whatever that's supposed to mean. Must you flash that thing so quickly? It almost seems like you have a nervous tick.

[bubblewrapfashion]

Had what, Doctor?

[Zoe looks at him confused.]

Well I was showing Jamie this thing and then suddenly here I was. Slightly odd.

[seconddoctor_cia]

You're, I mean, we're still traveling together? All three of us?

[reallygreathair]

I know quite a bit actually. Wellll more than a bit.

[The Tenth Doctor nods.]

More than we'd like to count. But ohhhh have I missed that look! Just look at you! I missed the recorder too.

[bubblewrapfashion]

Of course we are.

[She grows concerned.]

Why wouldn't we be?

[seconddoctor_cia]

Yes. Quite. Which one are you supposed to be?

[seconddoctor_cia]

But, that can't be right! Oh, this odd indeed.

[reallygreathair]

This is our tenth incarnation. And probably our most dashing one yet.

[bubblewrapfashion]

Doctor, what happened?

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Face falls.]

Oh dear. I certainly don't get any better. I thought my replacement was bad enough. Am I really so smug nowadays?

[seconddoctor_cia]

Zoe, where were we before you arrived here? It's very important.

[bubblewrapfashion]

Why is it important, Doctor?

[seconddoctor_cia]

Just trust me, Zoe.

[reallygreathair]

No that's your sixth incarnation. Nice big coat.


I wouldn't say smug. Maybe a little, welll, brilliant. Dashing.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well at least I appear to be in better shape.

[bubblewrapfashion]

We just arrived in London on Earth in the 20th century. Why?

[reallygreathair]

Ohhh, we are in the best of shape. Love a good jog. Can never go wrong with a nice sprint around the block or two, really. And how have we been?

[seconddoctor_cia]

Being forced to work for the Time Lords. Sort of on my own at the moment.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Ah, yes, I think I remember now. Look Zoe, I am from a little while in your future. That's why I'm surprised to see you here. Now it's important to get you back to where you came from before you arrived in this City.

[reallygreathair]

I remember that. Don't worry though it'll get better.

Nothing wrong with that.
