CHAPTER 1:ARRIVAL

"Wait till you see the surprise I have for you."said the Doctor,grinning and truly showing he's madman side. "And before you ask,it is not another attempt to get you into wearing bowties."

They were standing around the TARDIS console,waiting for the TARDIS to land at it's next location.

"I bet it involves aliens again though. Your surprises always involve alien invasions and things going wrong."complained Amy.

"She has a point."claimed Rory,hugging Amy tightly.

"Well,it's not my fault. They just turn up with their big fancy spaceships. I'm kind of used to it by now."The Doctor pointed out in defence.

The TARDIS continued to wheeze and groan. Amy and Rory decided that this was so far probably the longest TARDIS trip they'd ever been on. This was nothing out of the ordinary for the Doctor,though. Finally,the TARDIS landed.

The Doctor flipped open the TARDIS doors and said "Amy,Rory,behold the Caribbean. We're on a ship but not a space ship. No,this one's a pirate ship. You know,a bit like Captain Avery's. But this one's not any old ship. Recognize it?"

"Yes,that's the black pearl!"exclaimed Rory,like a excited puppy who's just found a bone. "But this can't be true."

"It is,Rory. Ever wondered what Pirates of the Caribbean was really based on?The theme park ride thing was just a excuse. If the movie was based on the ride,then what was the ride based on?Well,I can tell you both the ride and the movie were based on THIS. One thing though,one thing Hollywood forgot to include. Us."Taught the Doctor.

Footsteps approached. They got nearer and nearer. The man they belonged to neared the Doctor and he's companions and spotted them straight away. Amy recognized him straight away as Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Hey,before you probably kick us off to drown,what about a bottle of rum?"The Doctor asked.

"Well,I'd never say no to rum. As a matter of fact,I wasn't going to kick you off anyway. But what I want to know is,who are you?"Captain Jack Sparrow answered,in a drunken tone.

"Doctor,why have you got that on your head?"Amy wondered out loud.

"I wear a pirate hat now. Pirate hats are cool."replied the Doctor.


They were inside the TARDIS,preparing for their drink with Captain Jack. Suddenly,a gun sounded from within the TARDIS,the bullet hitting the pirate hat to smithereens.

"You'll have to blame River Song for that."explained Amy.

"Never mind,I'll just get another one. I have plenty of pirate hats you know. Same with fezes and stetsons."boasted the Doctor. "Now,help me cart these boxes of Rum out of the TARDIS will you?"

"Ah,this is the life."said Captain Jack Sparrow,after guzzling down he's hundredth bottle of Rum. "You know what they say,don't you?Every rum should marry the bottle it fancies. I don't believe a word of it."

"Doctor,I think he's drunk."Rory pointed out.

"And I thought I was the madman."The Doctor exclaimed.

"You are."Amy and Rory both informed him at the same time.

"Let's all have a sing song shall we?"Said Captain Jack Sparrow,getting up and partying around the nearby plank. "Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum. It's a pirate's life for me."

"Doctor,I think we should leave."Rory pointed out.

"Ah,yes,good point. I think our new friend here has gone a bit mad."Decided the Doctor. "Right then,back to the TARDIS. Come along,Ponds!"

And so they headed back to the TARDIS,but little did the Doctor know he was going to notice something disturbing.


"Amy,Rory,where to next then?Barcelona,planet of the noseless dogs?Never got to take Rose there. Shame really. We could go to Hogwarts. Did you know it actually exists?What about Cadbury world?"asked the Doctor,as if he was a little kid waking up to Christmas.

"Hogwarts sounds promising!"exclaimed Amy.

"Hogwarts is is then!"the Doctor said,grinning wildly.

The Doctor tried the TARDIS controls. They didn't respond.

"Somebody's locked the controls!"exclaimed the Doctor,clearly surprised.
