Tales of the TARDIS

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I own 1 sonic screwdriver but not Doctor Who

Everyone knows that the Doctor likes bananas from the episode 'The Girl in the Fireplace' right? Well, what the show doesn't mention is the unfortunate habit the Doctor has of throwing his peels on the floor. This can come in handy occasionally, for instance the time a Graske invaded the TARDIS, but it gets him into trouble more often than not.

Case in point, Donna Noble woke up feeling very grouchy. This usually meant bad news for the Doctor. It was especially unfortunate that the Doctor was wandering around his TARDIS eating banana after banana after banana! He had been doing this whenever he was hungry for a week so, as you can imagine, the TARDIS was very messy.

Anyway, Donna was stumbling bleary-eyed towards the galley. She would not make it there that morning.

All of a sudden she slipped and fell. When she looked behind her, she saw a banana peel!

That fall made her feel very awake.

"SPACEMAN!" she yelled, fuming.

The Doctor was too deep in the TARDIS to hear her. She thought about trying to find the Doctor by following the banana peels and paused.

She then remembered what her boss had told her when she worked as a temp at a grocery store for 6 months.

Flashback

"Bananas are dying when they reach here. Even when the fruit is out of the peel, the peel is dying. The browner the peel, the older it is, Ms Noble"

End of Flashback

Bearing that in mind, she started to follow the most yellow peels.

An hour later, she found the Doctor (still eating bananas! God that man must have a stomach the size of a black hole) in the wardrobe room.

"Hi Donna! How did you...," he trailed off and gulped when he saw her angry face.

"Rassilon have mercy on me," he whispered sounding terrified.

Donna stomped up to him and gave him a hard slap.

"STOP LEAVING YOUR STUPID BLOODY BANANA PEELS ON THE STUPID FLOOR! STARTING RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE GOING TO PICK UP EVERY SINGLE BANANA IN THIS TARDIS! GOT IT? "

The Doctor gulped again and nodded very vigorously.

Donna then threw one last warning look at the Doctor before stomping back to the galley.

"Little help please Old Girl," squeaked the Doctor to the TARDIS.

The TARDIS' only response was to drop a roll of bin bags and a map with the locations of the banana peels on his head.

The Doctor then scowled and spent the next two days picking up every banana peel he had dropped on the TARDIS and when he dematerialized, the TARDIS brought him to places where he had dropped even more banana peels.

The Doctor had learnt his lesson. He didn't drop any more banana peels...until 400 years later when the process repeated with Clara Oswin Oswald.

Authors note: I just made up what Donna's boss at the grocers told her so please doesn't take what I said for granted. Please review. I'd really appreciate suggestions.
