Dude, where's my TARDIS? Starring the fourth doctor, Romana and K-9. A story by Ladymecha.
This story can take place during or after "the key to time" saga
Part one: case of the missing TARDIS.
"Doctor, you are so impossible! This is just plain ridiculous! Do we have to go to Earth again?"
The doctor once again was in one of his moods again, Romana saw that there was no convincing him of his wrongs.
"Romana where is your spirit of exploration! Earth is a nice place; they got lots of jelly babies in those lovely candy shops!"
Oh yes, the doctor had an agenda for the day. And once he got an idea in his head there was no way of getting it out.
"Oh, doctor you are so childish, all you care about is cake and candy! Why don't you just grow up already?"
"I like to stay young at heart! I am already in my fourth body and I got to experience to as much as I can! Life is short, you should enjoy it!"
"That's a funny thing coming from a timelord."
"Aw common Romana, get in touch with your youth when you can! Enjoy yourself!"
"I guess I can't talk you out of anything then, alright let's go to Earth."
Romana saw she could not win, the doctor was so hard headed but that is why she liked him so much.
"That's the spirit Romana! Hey K-9"
The tiny robot dog rolled its way over to him, lifted its head and said,
"Yes Master."
"Would you like to go to earth for a bit?"
"Negative master."
"You are such a bore. Oh well off to Earth."
The TARDIS slowly de materialized and it was in a small town, the Doctor pressed the magic button and the doors of the TARDIS opened to the world outside.
The doctor walked out of the TARDIS and Romana followed close behind, she carried K-9 in her arms and sat him down on the pavement below.
The doctor looked about and said, "This looks like a good place, I think it should do."
"where are we anyway?"
"In Wales I suspect, maybe north Scotland."
"You don't know?"
"No, I didn't look at the co ordinates."
"Why would you do that for Doctor?"
"I wanted to explore the land itself, not much fun if you always know where you are going to go."
"Oh doctor I can just slap you!"
The doctor smiled and the started to walk at an excited pace.
In a nearby building, someone had quite an evil plan up his sleeve. He detected the arrival of a timelord, which meant there was a TARDIS too. His plan would take fruit once he got hold of that machine. He had very sophisticated technology on his hands. Of course he did, he had the technology of a great race in his hands. Banished here by his own people, he had gained knowledge about many things, including the one called "The doctor"
He had powers way beyond that of normal men, and soon the timelords themselves would know the name of Professor Xaraza.
"Jelly babies!" cried the doctor; his smile was as wide as the Grand Canyon.
"Aw common doctor, you have to be kidding me. What kind of nutritional value do those things have anyway?"
"None, and that's the fun of it! There is nothing like filling your belly with sweets!"
"Oh doctor stop being so childish!"
"But you don't know what its like Romana, at least try one."
"Oh alright doctor you win."
She stuffed one of the rubbery candies in her mouth and chewed, the doctor's smile became wide as she chewed the candy.
"Well what do you think?" asked the doctor.
"Mm now I see why you like these things. But you know these things are unhealthy."
"Yes, but that makes them taste even better! Common, go to the TARDIS."
"We are leaving already? I thought you wanted these things?"
"I do but I forgot my wallet."
"Oh doctor!" Romana stomped her foot in frustration and the two came out of the shop.
It only took about a minute but when the Doctor came to the location of the TARDIS, he noticed something was missing, namely the TARDIS itself.
"Romana, are you sure this is where we left the TARDIS?"
"Of course I am, but it seems it is gone."
"But how could they take the old girl? I have the only key to it!"
"Don't you have a spare?"
"Yes but it is in a secret place, only I know where it is."
"So the TARDIS is missing?"
"Yes, and it looks like I wont get my jelly babies anytime soon."
The doctor's smile faded into a frown…
Will the doctor, Romana and K-9 be able to find the TARDIS?
Who is Professor Xaraza?
Will the doctor ever get his jelly babies?
