Drunken Sailor: Part One
With a raucous cry, the Doctor staggered across the deck of the ship, bottle of rum in one hand, a stuffed toy parrot in the other. "What do you think Polly?" he slurred, wandering around in a tight circle, not entirely on purpose, "is this a vessel worthy of the mighty captain Smith?" He giggled, and took another swig from the rum. The bottle was half empty. Or half full, depending on your point of view. To the Doctor, however, it was just half. Stupid human psychology.
"Yes captain!" he crowed to himself with a high-pitched voice, waving the toy parrot about. "It certainly does!"
The Doctor stumbled, one foot tripping over the undone laces of the other. He fell down with a loud thump, the rum bottle tumbling out of his hand and rolling over the edge of the ship. The Doctor watched it go with dismay. "Look Polly, the rum's gone."
"Yes captain, it is," he squawked to himself in response.
Parrot clutched close to his chest, he dragged himself back to his feet. He swayed woozily, frowning when he became aware of what sounded like many rough voices singing.
"What do ya do wit' a drunken sailor?"
The Doctor frowned at the dark figures that were appearing on all sides.
"What do ya do wit' a drunken sailor?"
Pirates! This was a pirate ship! However, that revelation did nothing to help the Doctor sober up.
"What do ya do wit' a drunken sailor, er-lye in the marning?"
The Doctor remained curious of the singing pirates until one of them grabbed him around the middle and slung him over a shoulder with hardly any effort. He cried out, and began to beat his fists against the large man's back.
"Throw 'im in the lockup 'til 'e's sober," the other pirates chorused, much to the Time Lord's dismay. "Throw 'im in the lockup 'til 'e's sober, throw 'im in the lockup 'til 'e's sober, er-lye in the marning!" All the pirates disappeared below deck, taking the Doctor and his parrot with them.
Brittany smirked from her vantage point on the docks.
A/N: Love it? Hate it? Send me a review to let me know. Also, if anyone has ideas for oneshots I can write (any companion, any Doctor), tell me, and I'll try my hardest. And if the title wasn't a dead giveaway, there are going to be more parts to this, and if anyone knows any more verses for the song, send them to me too!
