Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor who, because if I did, Rose would have never left! NEVAAAAAAAAA!
I was watching the debates the other night with my sister, and I just got inspired. Sorry.
And for the record, I have nothing against Romney or Obama :)
Just a normal day at the 2012 presidential debate.
Or so Amy Pond initially thought.
As usual, she and the Doctor were hurdling at impossible speeds through the time vortex, on their way to the next adventure. When they finally came to a jerky halt, the Doctor let go of the controls.
"Do you even know how to drive this thing, Doctor?" She teased.
He smiled at her remark. "Of course Amelia, or else we wouldn't be in-" He stuck his head out of the TARDIS door, taking a deep breath, "The United States, the year 2012, about nine o'clock at night, and chances of rain later."
She laughed. "You think you're so cool when you do that, don't you Doctor?"
"Yep," He replied, giving her a comical wink and dragging her out the door.
Later that day, they settled in with about a hundred other people to watch the 2012 debate.
"Aw, Doctor, just a debate? I thought you had something more exiting planned!" She pouted.
"Hey!" He protested. "I heard that these things get pretty lively! Plus, I think human politics are interesting."
She rolled her eyes at him, settling down in her chair. Soon the debate started to broadcast live across the nation, and the two presidential candidates entered, current president Barak Obama and presidential candidate Mitt Romney. They both awkwardly shook hands and smiled politely at each other.
"I sense tension," Amy whispered.
"Me too."
Both sat down, and the debate began. Amy couldn't really follow the technical stuff, but the Doctor looked utterly entranced. They were basically saying things about the other saying things that were untrue or making false accusations. It was actually getting pretty headed. A thought occurred to her, and she stifled a giggle.
"What?"
"I was just thinking... D'ya reckon there's a Weeping Angel backstage, behind Obama, and Romney is blinking because he wants it to get Obama?"
At this, the Doctor doubled over with silent laughter. "You're just too much, Amy," He finally said after catching his breath. She grinned in response.
After that, things started to die down. Both seemed to be perfectly calm, so Amy just sat back and tuned it out. The Doctor, of course, was still watching intently.
She snapped out of her thoughts quickly when she heard commotion. When she looked up, Romney was laying across the table, shaking the president by his TARDIS blue tie. The Doctor was laughing and clapping in amusement.
"What on earth happened?"
The Doctor explained that they had just been debating, but Romney had kept interrupting Obama and vice versa, and finally the emotions had exploded and Romney said something to the effect of, "Oh, do you wanna go? DO YOU WANNA GO?!" and Obama responding with, "Bring it!"
When security guards finally calmed them both down, the whole room was full of commotion. Amy turned to the Doctor, smiling.
"Are all debates like this?
"I sure hope so!"
