This popped into my head last night before I fell asleep and I decided to write it down, even though I've already used this song title. So here's a silly little ficlet that I had fun writing.
Song: "Hope and Survival" – Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure soundtrack
Doctor: 11

"There's hope for your fashion sense yet, Doctor!" cheered Amy. "Now can we please get out of here?"
