Note: Just a bored Time Lord socialising with anyone and everyone on his new phone. This idea merely spawned out of my boredom in a Maths lesson, so thank my Statistics teacher! Time Lord Texts is what it says on the tin. There will be an awful lot of crossovers for each chapter, so ideas are very much welcome. The possibilities are endless. Well, this could go on for a while!
I guess this also counts as a quick break from Hesitation? No? C'mon! Okay, for those who are reading the story, I promised to update weekly. But Maths, Physics and Chemistry like to squish me until I pop. I promise chapter 15 will be out once it's finished!
And without further ado, I shall explain this nice and clearly: I WISH I own Doctor Who. I don't own the show, nor do I own the Doctor and any characters mentioned in this chapter and future chapters.
Chapter 1 – Introduction to Apple
Starring Jack Harkness
"Rose, what is this?" the Doctor murmured, glaring at the most Earthly IPhone 5 in his hands as if it personally insulted him. He leant against the TARDIS console.
"It's called a phone," she chided. The Time Lord stared at her incredulously and clapped very slowly in mock applaud.
"Yes, well done, Rose."
"You know," she began, arching a brow. "When you clap, you repeatedly high-five yourself for someone else's accomplishments. So thank you." The Doctor rolled his eyes at her and jabbed at the device in his hand. It flickered to life and the 'Start up' menu appeared. The Doctor peered at the screen in slight interest. "I've put in the SIM card already," Rose announced, taking off her coat and tossing it to a nearby coral strut by the TARDIS console. "I've also downloaded some apps, but chances of you using them will be the same as me reincarnating as an olive." The Doctor barked a laugh at that remark as the blonde companion began to disappear into the TARDIS hallway. "I've given your number to a few close people. Their numbers should be logged into the contacts list. I'll be in the pool..."
The Doctor couldn't hear any more as Rose faded into the depths of the vast hallway. He shrugged and continued to experiment with the mobile phone - not that he needed to use it again, unless Rose somehow managed to persuade him like she'd always do when she wanted things her way. He sighed, seriously wondering why he needed a phone in the first place. Besides, he still had Martha's phone. Perhaps it was a little outdated... The Doctor whipped out his sonic screwdriver from his inner jacket pocket and sonicked the phone. After a few seconds, he hummed in approval. Universal Roaming should do the trick. But within a few seconds he activated the Universal Roaming mode, his phone lit up and a speech bubble icon appeared on the screen. He hesitated before tapping the icon and read the following message:
Unknown Number: Doc! Heard you got the new IPhone 5! Martha's mobile not working wonders for you?
The Doctor frowned and craned his neck towards the direction Rose walked in not so long ago. Then he looked back at his phone and proceeded to write a reply.
The Doctor: I'm sorry, who's this? Sorry, I'm pretty bad with names and you know… I'm pretty busy dashing around the universe in such a short amount of time.
Unknown Number: Aw, can't you tell? It's your friendly neighbourhood ex-Time Agent!
The Doctor: How in the name of Rassilon did you get my number?!
Jack: Martha gave it to me, fool! LOL
The Doctor: "LOL"?
Jack: Oh, you got a LOT to learn…
The Doctor: Am I missing something?
Jack: Urgh, nvm.
The Doctor: What?
Jack: NEVERMIND.
The Doctor: No tell me!
Jack: I did! "Nvm" means nevermind. LOL.
The Doctor: What does "LOL" mean?!
Jack: Laugh Out Loud.
The Doctor: … That is SO human…
Jack: I'd take that as a compliment?
The Doctor: You humans are so lazy to type the full thing! Anyway, this autocorrection thing is bugging me… I KNOW HOW TO SPELL BY MYSELF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Jack: Ah… One of Apple's greatest flaws… So wuu2?
The Doctor: What?
Jack: What are you up to?
The Doctor: Oh, just chilling in the TARDIS. Rose is here. She says "hi". Much llamas to you from Rose.
Jack: Eh?
The Doctor: Whoops! Butter fingers. How do you tell off autoerrection?
Jack: You're turning me on and you're not even in front of me. :P
The Doctor: Stop it. How do I tell off autocorrect?!
The Doctor: HOW DO I TELL OFF ON AUTOCORRECTION?!
Jack: Enjoying Apple's finest phone?
The Doctor: This was Rose's idea to get me a mobile phone… Says I'm too hard to get a hold of when we're out and about. Oooh, I got a message from her, wait a sec… I just need to text her back.
Jack: You're in the TARDIS and you're sending text messages to each other? Talk about being sociable…
The Doctor: Did I forget to mention she's miles away from me inside the TARDIS enjoying a relaxing swim at the pool?
Jack: Sounds nice! Well, you got her, I got my Ianto. Wanna swap?
The Doctor: Stop it. What does "IDK", "IDC" and "TTYL" mean?
Jack: I Don't Know, I Don't Care and Talk To You Later.
The Doctor: Fine, I'll ask her herself. Blimey…
