[ The video clicks on to reveal two familiar faces: the City is, once again +1 Scottish redhead and +1 floppy-haired bow-tied Doctor. Even if said Doctor is currently hiding the floppy hair under a sombrero.

They're both grinning wildly. ]

Do you want to do the honours? I think you should.

[ The Doctor looks pleased, taking a deep breath and then he is doing a truly remarkable impression of a drum roll. While Amy is not giggling. Really. ]

Guess what, City? We're back. Did you miss us?

[ A beat. ] You better have. Roll call, who's here? Barnes, you better not have left while I was gone or I will confiscate all your alcohol.

[waitedforyears]

No, no, I promise. [ IF ONLY YOU KNEW DOCTOR. The only way she's leading Bucky astray is by educating him in the art of gay sex, okay. But you don't need to know that. At all. For the sake of your sanity. ]

Think they remember us there?

[wearafeznow]

[ Gay sex = extra happy scones, okay? Good. ]

I'd hope so, we're unforgettable, aren't we?

[waitedforyears]

[ Clearly. ]

In that hat you certainly are.

[wearafeznow]

I like the hat.

[ Holding the door open. ] You're just jealous.

[waitedforyears]

I'm really, really not. [ Nope. Linking her arm with his. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ He grabs a basket and they're off round the aisles like a sweet old married couple. ]

It's colourful. And zany. [ A beat. ] Do people still say zany?

[waitedforyears]

[ Oh but Doctor, that would imply texting and scones. ]

Nope. No one says that. Can we get cookies?

[wearafeznow]

Chocolate chip? [ He's pouting about the zany though. ]

Nifty? Swell? Zimbob?

[waitedforyears]

Yes. [ Into the basket they go. ]

Cool? Awesome? Sweet?

[wearafeznow]

Boring.

[ And into the basket also go bendy straws. And party rings. And wafers. He has coins, it's fine. ]

[waitedforyears]

Well, no one's expecting you to keep up with the times.

[ Bread. Someone's gotta be responsible and she wants breakfast tomorrow, okay. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ That's what the party rings were for though! ]

I'm a Time Lord, Amelia. How up with the times do you expect me to be?

[waitedforyears]

[ Oh, okay. But they'll still need bread. And drinks, there should be drinks. ]

Yeah, somehow that doesn't translate so well into your vocabulary.

[wearafeznow]

I'm hip!

[ Can he have a chocolate milkshake? ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Yes. Chocolate milkshakes are a-okay. ]

Nah. You do have a bit of that hipster thing going but unironically, so.

[wearafeznow]

What on earth is a hipster?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, you don't really need to know that one.

[wearafeznow]

They sound strange.

[ Fish finger frozen section. How many boxes do they need? ]

[waitedforyears]

[ They should stock up on them, shouldn't they? ]

They are strange.

[wearafeznow]

You'll have to tell me if we run into any.

[waitedforyears]

I will. [ Cheerful. ] I'll shout, they'll hate that.

[wearafeznow]

Don't they like loud noises?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, no. You'll figure it out.

[wearafeznow]

So avoiding hipsters is a must then, gotcha.

[ Pausing in front of a display of glittery balls. Because glittery balls. ]

[waitedforyears]

No. No, Doctor. [ Dragging him away from the glittery balls. ]
