~Epilogue~
A strange whirring and chuffing sound filled the lush green forest as an oak tree dematerialized, much to the detriment of several squirrel-like creatures which had taken up residence in its mighty branches. The sound faded, and where the tree had once stood, there was nothing.
A moment later the tree re-appeared, accompanied by further wheezing and groaning noises. A door in the side of the tree opened and something flew out as if ejected by great force. The door slammed and the tree disappeared again. Peace descended upon the forest once more.
A bit later some little foraging animals discovered a scarf lying abandoned at the edge of the woods. They dragged it to their nest with great effort, and the following winter they were as warm and comfortable as could be.

Colin Baker really was The Doctor when I wrote this story - it was that long ago!
