[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.

[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.

[And Ash repeats it perfectly this time!]

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

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.

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

... Really? That sucks.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That would be the summarized state of things, yes.

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[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.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

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

[nicepartner.livejournal.com]

Then I guess... it's normal?
