"What's this stuff?" Link asked, poking the ground.
"It's called asphalt-"
"Woah!" Dashes over to a car in the parking lot they where in.
The Doctor suppressed a chuckle. "That's a car. It's what these people use for transportation."
Link was jumping up and down, marveling at all the modern technology, or, at least, all that the early 1990's had to offer.
"So where are we again?"
"This is some town in the state of Washington, America. And I'd say it's about the year 1901."
"What do the numbers mean?"
The Doctor sighed. He had never really had to explain THAT before. "It's how the people in this world keep track of all the years. Every year has it's own number. It's a lot better to name a specific year than to say something like 'a long, long time ago.'"
The boy still looked confused, but shrugged it off. The two walked over to the diner that was the cause for the parking lot, and Link looked up at the sign. "That's strange... I would think these people would speak a different language than my people... But everything's in Hylian."
The Doctor simply nodded. "Ah, yes. That's the TARDIS translation matrix. It changes everything into your language. Everything's in Gallifreyan to me." He smiled fondly, thinking of his planet. There was a flash of something else, that quickly changed into his usual bright and 'happy' grin.
"That's really cool... I like having the TARDIS in my head... She's so gentle."
They then walked into the diner, and Link's eye went wide. However, he refrained from asking about everything, his curiosity ranging from the percolator to the juke box, in order to avoid attention. The Doctor smiled in amusement, and they sat down in a booth. The Doctor ordered two milk shakes for them from the nice waitress with her arm in bandages.
"Man..." The Doctor started, "Last time I was in a place like this, my wife slapped me in the face for dying. Of course, I invited her to my death. Actually, she was there twice. She also killed me. No, wait... Three times. Amy was also pregnant with her. That was an interesting adventure. And then she didn't kill me, and everything stopped and happened all at the same time, and the universe almost fell apart. So then we got married, and finally managed to kill a robot replica of me and the universe got fixed and it was great."
There was an awkward silence, in which two men in the booth behind them stared at the Doctor. Finally, the one with black slicked man hair nodded seriously and said, "Damn fine story," He took another sip of his coffee while the curly-haired man next to him just shook his head at his black haired friend and continued eating.
And Link had the best and first milk shake he has ever had in his life.
A/N: I do not own Doctor Who or the Legend of Zelda. I also don't own the setting or other characters in this chapter. Lots of love to anyone who gets all the references. Cheerio!
