"I had an unusual dream – or whatever you would call it."

"Really?" His friend beamed. "Then I'm near success, aren't I?"

"I dreamed I was human again, and best man at your wedding –"

"That doesn't sound too bad."

The Doctor's facial expression was priceless. "What?"

"A Dalek wearing a wedding gown and veil. You other selves were on the groom's side of the church, Davros and more Daleks were on the bride's side. Your mother-in-law wore a most fetching hat and cried into a handkerchief." If he could shudder, he would.

"Ah. Right. Well." For a moment, the Doctor looked like his fifth self. "Let me put things back in order and run a systems check. Or perhaps I should run the systems check, first…."
