'You idiot' Donna's tone of voice on the other end of the phone told the Doctor that she wasn't impressed.
The Doctor looked at the situation he had managed to get himself into this time , and sighed.
'But Donna, I need for you to come here, and help me please…' he urged. He heard Donna snort on the receiver.
'I can't believe you did that.. actually, I can. What! You couldn't have used your sonic screwdriver or the psychic? Oh, I know what you did, you wanted to show off! I just wish I was there to see it!'
The Doctor pouted, he had gone into the service station to pay for the petrol , to help Donna, who was still waiting in the car. One day in living with Donna, Sylvia and Wilf was driving him insane, so Donna had suggested a road trip .
They were on their way to Cardiff , to see Jack, when the indicator told them they were nearly out of fuel. They had stopped at this service station, the Doctor offering to pay for the fuel, until he had noticed the vending machine.
He was giddy when he noticed what it was selling.
Banana M&Ms. He had put the correct change in the slot, but the small package containing the sweets had gotten stuck . He had shaken the machine, even rapping on the glass to make it move. He groaned when he reached into his trouser pocket for his screwdriver, then realised it was still in the car. So he had done something, he figured his hand could reach into the dispenser .
He was correct, it did, he had wriggled the rest of his arm up towards the shelf. He tried to reach, but it had gotten stuck.
'Donna, that's not helping' he begged, over her laughs. 'Can you please come in and help? I need my sonic.. and its sitting on the dashboard..'
Donna sighed.
'Of course I will Spaceman, just to see you like this!'
'Thanks'
Donna walked into the shop and burst out laughing at the scene , the manager of the service station was tugging on the Doctors free arm, and some curious customers were snickering. She twirled the sonic in her hands.
'Oi Homer' she spoke up brightly.
She regretted letting the Doctor watch that episode of the Simpsons last night.
The one where Homer's hand got stuck in a vending machine.
