[A big blue box just materialized in front of you. Wherever you are. Doesn't matter where--you could be on top of the Radio Tower or in the middle of the Ice Path.]

[And when the door opens with a creak, the box's resident madman pokes his head out with a grin.]

Right, here we are--Raxacoricofallapatorius, lovely place for a vacation. Smells like cinnamon.

[Beat. An Abra floats out of the phone box as well, yawning before draping himself over his Trainer's shoulder.]

Wait, hang on. Hang on. Adric, do you smell cinnamon?

Aaaabra.

No, no, of course I know where I'm going! We're not lost!

Abra. Aaaab.

Now you're just being silly. And it's pronounced 'Raxacoricofallapatorius'. [The doctor takes out a device--and points it at various things--the end glows bright green as it makes a noise. It stops after a moment, Eleven examining it as though reading something.]

Oh, still here? Come on, now that's just boring. Well, no, traveling between words is hardly easy, but this place makes it look like tying shoelaces. Ever tied shoelaces, Adric? Always easy after the first time.

Abra.

Yes, I know you don't wear shoes.

A Raxacori-what? [That's... just weird.]

Rax-a-cori-co-fal-la-pa-tor-i-us.

[Said about as slowly as the Doctor can possibly speak, because GEEZ ASH GET WITH IT.]

It's a planet, nice planet. Nice, purple planet.

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

[And Ash repeats it perfectly this time!]

Huh... I'd like to go there some day! [And his Pikachu wholeheartedly agrees with him.]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

See, ordinarily this is the part where I say 'get in the box and let's go'. But as it turns out, this old girl really doesn't seem to want to get off this planet.

[Woah. This random crazy stuff just keeps happening, lately. What's with that crazy blue box thing? And... that hue-man looks kind of familiar.]

...Whooves? S'that you? When'd you get here?

[Doc, have an orange pony.]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[DOESN'T HE JUST LOOK SO FAMILIAR, APPLEJACK?]

Just now. Or, well, a while ago. But right here as in this specific spot? About ten seconds ago. Give or take a bit.

Wait, what did you call me?

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

... Really? That sucks.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That would be the summarized state of things, yes.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[SO FAMILIAR IT'S SCARY]

Whooves? Your name? That is you, ain't it?

[Does she need to start looking for your cutie mark? >|]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[no AJ honey he wants to keep his pants on for now.]

Nnno. Not really, no. Not at all, actually--I'm the Doctor. Just the Doctor.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[Huff. What kind of trick are you playing, mister?]

Alright, if you wanna play that game, 'Doctor' Whooves. I never understood why you wanted folks t'call you that. But... how come you're still a hue-man? Ain't everypony back to normal now?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Nope, just the Doctor. No Whooves or Who or What or anything else. And I'm not human--not now, I was earlier. Back to being a Time Lord now, if I'm hearing the double heartbeat right.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I... you... what?

2/2

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Oh my.

I'm r-real sorry, 'bout that, sir. I reckon I mistook you for somepony I knew back home.

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

It would've been cool to visit another planet, too!

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't usually get mistaken for other people--don't even get mistaken for myself half the time.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

It's brilliant. You know, in the future there's a planet where the grass smells like apples? Love that, it's fantastic.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir. Looks just like you, in fact. Got your hair an' everythin'. 'Cept he's a pony.

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

That seems pretty neat! [A pause.] Nobody actually eats the grass, do they?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Now how would I know that? I can't keep track of everyone on one planet, there could just be a whole group of people milling about like cows somewhere.

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

That'd be kind of weird to see, though.

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

[Pony on top of your box, sir.]

Oooooooooooh.

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

[Have a spandex-clad harlequin looking suspiciously at your police-box, Doctor. She hasn't committed any crimes in England as far as she knows, so she hasn't brought out the mallet yet... but you are getting the cold shoulder. As much as Harley is capable of, anyway.]

Your flashlight ain't very bright. ...Looks kinda like Kryptonite, actually.

MAN, I should sit myself down and watch this show sometime

[tower-trapped.livejournal.com]

[Have a confused Rapunzel in front of you, sir. Confused as ANYTHING. Who are you? How did you get here all of the sudden? What's that thing you're in? What are you talking about?

What is this I don't even--]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

How do you know, maybe you'd be the weird one.
