The one at Blackpool
It had been a couple of days since the elevator incident and the timelord's apartment was full with a lively atmosphere because today, they were taking a trip to Blackpool. Ten dashed around, trying to find the sun-screen, Eleven was decided whether to bring his yellow bucket or red bucket, the Master was already prepared as he was dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, bright blue trousers, sunglasses and a sun hat.
"We're only going to Blackpool, not Hawaii" Nine said when he saw what the Master was wearing.
"Hey, if I want to dress like this, then I will, OK, big ears" the Master replied before he stalked off into the kitchen. Eleven walked up to Ten and asked him how they were going to travel to Blackpool.
"We'll be taking the Tardis" Ten replied "it's cheaper than taking the train and it will get us there much quicker." After an hour of getting everything sorted, the four timelords where all gathered around the Tardis.
"OK, has everybody got what they need?" Ten asked. The other three nodded and Ten was satisfied before he started stroking the side of the Tardis.
"With this baby, we'll get their much quicker" he said "and it saves us money on train fairs. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this beauty."
"Oh my god, you act like you're married to that thing" the Master pointed out "ha ha, I can just see the wedding now. Do you Doctor, take this Tardis to be your lawfully wedded wife, do you promise to love her, cherish her and treat her with respect until death do you part?"
"Thank you Master" Ten sighed "OK, shall we get going?" The four of them stepped into the Tardis and when they we're all inside, Ten set the coordinates for Blackpool and two minutes later, they arrived in an alleyway which was just round the corner from the seafront. When they stepped out, Ten took a deep breath and smiled.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh, smell that sea air" he sighed before turning to the group "OK, I've got everything planned out, firstly, we'll go and have a look around the Arcades, then we'll go and check out the tower then after that, we'll get fish and chips and eat them on the beach, after that, we'll hit the pleasure beach and then go home." So, the first thing they did was go into one of the Arcades and the Master was the first one to notice that there was a dance machine in this one.
"Now, we're talking" he said as he rushed to the dance machine, put a pound coin into the slot and started dancing.
"Do any of you Doctors want to compete against me?" he asked "Come on, don't be shy."
Ten was the one who volunteered and he jumped onto the dance machine next to the one the Master was using.
"I bet I can beat you, just like I beat you at guitar hero" Ten said.
"Oh no you don't" the Master replied in a threatening tone "I'm going to win this one and win this I shall."
"Oh, I'm not missing this" Eleven said as he stood to watch before he turned to Nine who was on the coin machines "Nine, are you going to watch?"
"Just a minute" Nine replied who was still facing the coin machine "I'm busy here."
"Suit yourself" Eleven replied before he went back to watch the Master and Ten compete in the ultimate dance off. After five games, the two finished on the dance machines and the Master was bragging about how he was a much better dancer. Ten rolled his eyes and went to one of the claw machines which had stuffed tiggers and stuffed pooh bears.
"Be careful with them, those things are rubbish" Nine warned "the claw doesn't even grip the toy properly."
"Well, maybe I'll get lucky" Ten replied with a grin "besides, I've always wanted a stuffed tigger." He then put the money into the slot for five goes, grabbed the joystick and used it to move the claw across, then down to one of the stuffed tiggers. It had hold of it for a few seconds then dropped the tigger before it reached the hatch, so he tried again and again until on the final attempt, he finally managed to get a stuffed tigger.
"OK, shall we check out another arcade before we go to the tower?" he asked the other three who nodded.
An hour had passed by and the four had been in at least four of the arcades before heading over to Blackpool tower.
"Are we actually going to go all the way up to the top and then back down again?" the Master asked.
"Yeah, we'll ride up in the elevator all the way up to the top, stay up there for a bit and then go back down" Ten replied as they walked inside.
"Well, let's hope the elevator doesn't break down this time" the Master joked "otherwise, we'll have to climb the cables to get up to the top." When the four had all arrived inside, they went up to the elevator which would be taking them to the top of the tower. Ten pressed the button to take them all the way up to the top and the elevator began to move all the way up to the top of the tower, carrying the four timelords, plus another few people inside. When it reached the top, the four got out and walked up to the window which gave off a view of the entire seaside.
"Wow, you can see everything from up here" Eleven said in amazement "the Ferris wheel on the beach, coral island, the Pepsi Max roller-coaster, it's cool." Ten took out a digital camera and took a photo of the view before asking the other three to get together for a photo.
"What are you going to do with these photos, put them on your face-book page?" Nine asked as they all ganged up together for a photo.
"Maybe" Ten replied before holding the camera out in front "Ok, everybody say Gallifrey."
"Gallifrey" the four timelords yelled before Ten hit the button to take the photo. After that, they spend a good half an hour at the top of the tower before going back down to buy some fish and chips. When they got their fish and chips, they sat on the beach to eat them and watched as children passed by on the donkeys, couples walked hand in hand, children building sandcastles or paddling in the sea.
"It's nice to get out now and again isn't it" Ten said "especially the seaside, all the fresh sea air, the fish and chips, candy floss, rock and the beach." Nine was being attacked by a seagull that was after his fish and the Master was filming it with the video recorder he had bought with him.
"Look at this, Nine has made a new friend" he teased "what's the name of your new friend, Nine?"
"Will you stop filming me getting attacked by a flaming seagull" Nine snapped.
"But I want to upload it to you-tube" the Master replied as he carried on filming "I was thinking of calling it something like Timelord gets harassed by a seagull." Nine grumbled in frustration as he attempted to swipe at the seagull which was still trying to steal his fish and Ten decided to step in and help his previous incarnation by using his sonic screwdriver to drive off the menacing bird.
"Thanks for that" Nine replied "now I can eat my fish in piece."
"Well, at least I got the whole thing on tape, now I'm going to upload it to you-tube" the Master announced before he put the camera away "so, what are we going to do after we've finished our fish and chips?"
"We're going to the pleasure beach" Ten said " maybe we should give the Pepsi Max a go and some of the other rides."
"Oh, can we sit on the front row because it's more better that way" Eleven asked.
"Sure, if we manage to get a front row seat" Ten replied. After they had finished their fish and chips, the timelords set off for the pleasure beach and when they first arrived, they joined the queue for the Pepsi Max roller-coaster.
"My god, look at how long the line is" the Master pointed out when he noticed the really long queue for the big roller-coaster "we could be here for years."
"That is not possible" Ten replied "it might be an hour or so until we get out turn. All we have to do now is be patient and wait."
After an hour of waiting, they finally got their turn on the roller-coaster and they also managed to get the front row seats. Eleven and Nine where in the front seat, the Master and Ten were in the seat behind and they listened as the voice over guy instructed all riders to keep their hands and feet in the rides at all times.
"Better do what the gentleman says" the Master said "don't want any nasty accidents do we?"
Ten was about to say something when the ride began slowly moving up the track and when it reached the top, it stopped there for a mere few seconds before rushing down the hill, round corners and up another hill. After the ride was over, the four got off and discussed on what ride they should try out next.
"How about the teacups?" Eleven asked, pointing at the map "they look interesting." When the three Doctors were discussing on what rides to go on, the Master decided it was time to cause some trouble, so he quietly sneaked off to do so.
"We'll go on the teacups first, then we'll head for the iron-bru revolution, then after that we'll go on the Valhalla and then we'll check out avalanche ride" Ten suggested.
Meanwhile, the Master was walking around the park, trying to find a way to cause some havoc when he noticed an empty announcement booth nearby and with an evil smirk, he went inside the booth, picked up the microphone and opened his mouth.
Ten had just finished looking at the map when he noticed that all the people where running around screaming and shouting, pushing past each other to get out of the park.
"What's happening?" Eleven asked before a very familiar voice was heard over the loud speakers.
"EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, THE BOMB IS GOING TO GO OFF AT ANY SECOND, GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN."
"Just wait until I get my hands on him" Ten growled in frustration as he walked through the crowds of very scared people, his previous and next incarnation following behind him.
"HURRY, RUN EVERYBODY OR YOU'LL ALL BE BLOWN TO KINGDOM COME" the Master's voice said over the loud speakers.
Back in the announcement booth, the Master put the microphone down and exited the booth to find three very angry Doctors waiting for him.
"Guys, did you just hear, there's a bomb in the park" he said acting all shocked. Ten raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"There isn't a bomb is there?" he asked.
"No" the Master replied, rubbing the back of his head "I made that up." Ten nodded and grabbed the Master by the ear, dragged him through the now empty theme park and all the way back to the Tardis.
"Well, that was a good day out wasn't it?" the Master asked as Ten finally let go of his ear.
"It was until you scared the entire pleasure beach into thinking there was a bomb counting down somewhere in the theme park" Ten said in an annoyed tone before he opened the door to the Tardis and the four of them stepped inside.
"Well that wasn't the only thing I did while at the pleasure beach" the Master said as Ten set the coordinates for back home "I stole all the plastic spoons from one of the cafes." The Master then tipped the plastic bag he was holding and a million blue plastic spoons dropped onto the Tardis floor, clattering everywhere.
"Now that is what I call a souvenir" the Master said with a grin "every single plastic spoon from one of the pleasure beach cafes."
"Why on earth do you want to have plastic spoons for?" Nine asked.
"I don't know, I just felt like stealing them" the Master admitted. The other three timelords groaned in dispair, but the Master paid no attention to them as he was busy messing around with he plastic spoons.
Coming up next time, the timelords look after Charlene and Emily Mitchell when their parents go on a night out, that's to come next folks.
