It's a calm day, isn't it? Maybe it's supposed to be calm, and I said supposed to, because if you got two aliens from outer space standing on the stage, being introduced as the new workers slash teachers, what else would be making it calmer, right?
Oh, no. Not for team RWBY and team JNPR, at least. These two teams have been chasing them for almost half a day, only to found out they're really friendly and doesn't even mean harm. Adding to the worse side, now they have them as their teachers, for who knows how long.
Now, the Doctor and the Caretaker were just chatting to each other, talking about what to do next with their backs to the students so they couldn't hear what the two was talking about. "So, any idea for a speech?" The Doctor asked the Caretaker, who shook his head as a response.
"I don't know why do you want to give a speech in the early morning, considering it's only 6:30. I don't think they even had breakfast yet. So, if you want to make a speech, make it short and simple. Understood?" The Caretaker said, checking the time. The Doctor nodded before making his way to the microphone.
He tapped it to make sure it's on. "Hello, everyone. My name is..." He coughed, clearing his throat. "I mean, I'm the Doctor, just like what your headmaster said earlier. No actual name will be given to you all, remember that, as our names is only with your headmaster, Ozpin himself. He promised not to expose our names, as they could be threatening. Those are only rumors, though. Don't work on it too much. So, yeah, I'll be a teacher, a professor to be precise, in this glorious Beacon Academy, starting from today. You can only call me the Doctor. That's all from me."
He walked back to the Caretaker and nudged him. "Come on, it's your turn. I had already made my move. Now I want to see your speech." The Doctor said to his future self.
"I don't even want to give short speeches, moreover some simple ones. I already had enough giving speeches about how war is a bad thing." The Caretaker said as he remembered a moment where he was facing the commander of a certain human-imitator species.
Ozpin then came over to check on them. "So, do you want to give a speech about yourself? I'm sure the students would like to know about your position as the Caretaker, right?" Ozpin said to them, making the Caretaker sighed before walking to the microphone.
"Okay, I'm just going to keep it simple. I'm the Caretaker. My job is to take care of any problems that I see within this academy, like some broken circuits that I will rewire, or maybe, some faulty school equipments that I will fix, or maybe, even some dirty places that I have to clean. So, to sum it up, I take care of things that you students don't dare to do alone. Also, I hate bantering in the forest, okay?"
He walked back to the Doctor and Ozpin. "There, how do you like mine, huh? At least now you're satisfied, right?" The Doctor nodded while Ozpin went to the microphone.
"And that sums up this assembly. You can now go to the mess hall for your breakfast." Everyone was going to the door, when,
"One last thing, Yang Xiao Long, hope your teammates and friends and sister get the Yang of your antiques, okay, bye!" The Caretaker said in a few seconds before running into the TARDIS, the Doctor following after. The assembly was quiet for a few seconds, with team RWBY and team JNPR still processing what the heck did the Caretaker just say.
"Did he just..." Weiss trailed off, Blake continuing with, "Yes, he just did. He just made a pun about Yang." Both teams' eyes were on Yang, who had a similar facial expression as them, before turning into a small smile, and then a bigger smile, and then a grin, and then she burst out laughing holding her stomach.
"He-he-he likes puns, too! Finally! An alien slash worker I can relate with! I need to find him after our classes today." Yang said between her laughter as she ran towards the mess hall for her breakfast, everyone else in the assembly hall following a few seconds after.
Back in the TARDIS, however,
"Tell me you did not just make a pun on someone's name?" The Doctor looked in what seemingly to be a face of complete annoyance. The Caretaker just looked at him and smiled more. "Maybe I don't like banter, but only in a forest. Here, however, lacks the needs of banter, so puns is one possible way to lighten up the mood here."
The Doctor still looked at him, but started to smile as well. "Yeah, you're probably right. I like making jokes too. It's not like we're too old for it, right?"
The Doctor then looked like as if he remembered something.
"Wait, one question: Why do you have a guitar again? And since when do we even get one? I don't remember getting any musical instrument, except that flute." The Doctor asked as he looked at the Caretaker.
"Well, basically, the story is like this: I went to Essex in the 12th century to meditate after something, well, happened. You see, Davros, I found him stranded in the middle of war between the Kaleds and the Thals. He was still a child, and he got surrounded by Handmines. Even I don't know that was Davros in the first place. Anyway, I was going to a shop, but ended up in the warfare, giving him my old screwdriver, and then when he told me his name, I abandoned him. And now that we've somehow reached the stage of where I'm not going to even continue anymore, basically I got the guitar for my own entertainment."
The Doctor looked at his future counterpart. "Wait, you abandoned him? Then how is he aliv-" The Caretaker shushed him. "I told you, I'm not going to continue that story. I was only going to tell you about how I got the guitar, but got carried away, somehow..."
The Doctor then checked his overcoat to make sure his equipment were there. "Well, get ready, Caretaker, as this is the day where you get to be taking care of things again. For now, let's get to the teacher's lounge."
The Caretaker nodded. "You're right. Let's get something to eat and restore our energy. I could really use some tea with some extra sugar cubes in it right now."
Both of them walked out of the TARDIS, looking over at the empty assembly hall. The Doctor then said, "I'll be going first if you want to stay for a few more minutes." before going out the hall first, leaving the Caretaker alone on the stage. The Caretaker whipped out his sonic specs and activated it, scanning around the hall. He got some readings and took it off.
"There are signs of some foreign, yet familiar energy from this location. I'll investigate it later. For now, I need to get my breakfast." The Caretaker said as he walked out of the hall as well, trying to ignore it for now.
Unbeknownst to him, however, there were figures lurking in the shadow, eyeing the Caretaker. It turned itself into dust as it moved away from its location.
So, that sums up the 10th chapter of the Two Doctors on Remnant. Hope you enjoyed it.
And I got something to say, too. I got a week of from school as my country will have a festive season next week, guess what it is.
Also, the idea of the 12th Doctor's making puns came from the first episode of series 9, where he made puns about a tank and a fish.
So, bye.
