A/N: This is completely random and has nothing to do with the plot whatsoever. But the Doctor at an American football game was what sparked this whole story in the first place. So I am writing it. Hurray for random football games, French fries and Pringles.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Doctor, the Tardis (the Doctor's or anyone else's for that matter) the Vikings, the Packers (Yuk! Who'd want to own them anyway?) or Pringles of any flavor.

The Doctor looked long and hard at Rixil Atha. He had seen her before somewhere. But he could not remember, no matter how hard he tried. She was right, because of her being on Earth, likely something had changed on Dexal 5. Besides, he was ready for another adventure. Rose would jump at the chance… he thought. Stop thinking about Rose! He immediately mentally reprimanded himself. Does no good to you or anyone else to be thinking about her.

"Ok, Rixil. You can come with me." Rixil grinned, showing her pointed teeth again. "But—there's no guarantee that nothing will happen to you or that we'll even end up on Dexal 5. And even if we do, it may or may not be in the right time, got that?"

Rixil smirked. "I knew what I was getting into, Doctor."

This time the Doctor grinned. "So," he said in his British accent. "Where should we try to go first?"

XXXXXXXXXXXX

"Where are we again?" the Doctor asked for at least the seventieth time.

"Minnesota. USA."

"I know that. But where?"

"This is a football game, Doctor. I had tickets."

"A football game?"

"American football, Doctor. More specifically, a Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers football game."

"And that means exactly…?"

"It's important. Sit down. These were good tickets and I don't know why I'm wasting it on an alien who has been living in Britain and has very British ideas about sports. Sit down!" Rixil pushed the Doctor into his seat and sat next to him. She had put on a purple jersey that said Vikings on the front and 'Peterson 28' on the back.

"I'm going to guess that all these people who are wearing purple like the Vikings."

"Yes."

The Doctor suddenly saw a couple of Packers fans sporting green and gold jerseys and cheese head hats. "I want a hat like that!"

"No, you don't."

"Hats that look like cheese. Only humans would think of something like that."

"You're right. Only humans would. Now be quiet. The game is starting."

About halftime, Rixil got hungry. She waved over the snack guy. "I want a hot dog, hold the ketchup and sauerkraut, French fries, a Mountain Dew, and those pizza flavored Pringles. Doctor, you want anything?"

"Chips."

Rixil rolled her eyes. "He wants French fries too."

They soon got their food. "How did you know what they called chips in America?"

"I've been living here for years, Doctor. Look," she held up a French fry. "This is a French fry." She held up one of her Pringles. "And this is a chip. Got that?"

The Doctor nodded. "French fry." He said. "French fry, French fry, French fry." He took one of her Pringles. "Let me try one of those. Hey that's good. That's real good."

"Of course it is." Rixil said, and cheered loudly as the Vikings scored a touchdown.

"So what just happened?"

"The Vikings just scored a touchdown. That means that they got the ball to the end zone. It's worth six points."

"Ok…" the Doctor replied, feeling very out of place. "French fry." He muttered. "French fry. French fry. French fry."

Rixil cheered again. "Now what?" the Doctor asked.

"They intercepted the pass."

"Is that good?"

"Of course! It keeps the other team from scoring."

The Doctor went back to muttering about French fries.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The game was over and the Vikings had won, 33-24. Rixil was elated. Her faviorite team had won for once! And beaten the Packers too! The Doctor still had no clue what was going on, and Rixil guessed he didn't care too much about football anyway.

The Doctor had gotten a hold of a cheese head hat and was wearing it. He looked ridiculous, with his tan trench coat, his striped suit, white Converse sneakers and a cheese head hat. Rixil was walking as far away from him as she could get. She was still wearing her purple Vikings jersey. The Doctor had learned that it was like the one that Adrian Peterson wore. Not that he knew who Adrian Peterson was. Rixil had tried to explain it, but had given up when the Doctor had still looked blankly at her after trying to explain football to him for more than an hour.

They arrived back at the Tardis with none of the bizarre problems that seemed to follow the Doctor.

"So, Rixil," the Doctor said. "Got a place where your stuff is? We could swing by there on the way out of town."

"Yeah, actually, I do. It's on the other side of the Twin Cities."

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The Tardis materialized in Rixil's living room, between the couch and the window. She opened the door and blinked in amazment. "This is my living room!"

"Yep. So it is."

"Just a minite and I'll be ready." She walked into the kitchen. There was a note on the table. She picked it up.

Dear Tammy,

I stopped by and you weren't home. Call me, or come over or something. I've got something really cool to show you. It's about aliens, and I know that you are even more obsessed than I am. Anyhoo, I was on the internet and found something cool about time travel and an alien who apparently does it, called the Doctor. You talk about time/space junk all the time. So just stop over whenever.

Lisa

"Hey, Doctor!" she went back into the living room. "You might like to check this out…"

The Doctor read the note. "First, whose Tammy?"

"That would be me. Rixil Atha isn't exactly the most human name out there. I've been called Tammy Harrison since I came. I forge documents, like driver's licenses, birth certificates, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera."

"You also pick locks and are quite good at it too."

"I couldn't get the one on your police box."

"Tardis."

"What?"

"Tardis. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. T-A-R-D-I-S."

"Oh."

The Doctor looked at the note again. "I'm on the internet? I thought that Mickey got that Bad Wolf Virus on there."

"The Bad Wolf Virus? That was you? It totally killed my computer for days!"

"Sorry. But let's get over to your friend Lisa's and see what she's found."

A/N: Woohoo! Longest FanFiction Chapter I have ever written. Hurray for Pringles! Please comment!
