Fflat Doctor Who Debut Series Chapter 2 4 August 2016. Right Way.
"Well," said the Doctor to the Nurse, "which way is the right way?" he asked.
"Well," said the Nurse to the Doctor, "if I crashed your wedding by accident instead of Koschei's that means I can't read a compass," said the Nurse.
"Show me it," said the Doctor.
The Nurse took out her compass and showed the Doctor.
"Show me which end you followed," said the Doctor.
The Nurse pointed at one end.
"You can read a compass," said the Doctor.
"I obviously can't," said the Nurse.
"You can," smiled the Doctor, "the arrow's missing off the end, how would you know which way's the right way?" he asked.
"Oh," said the Nurse. She went pink.

"On the other hand," said the Doctor, "you had a 50% chance and you got it wrong."
"The story of my life," said the Nurse.
"You're not so bad," said the Doctor.
"No?" asked the Nurse.
"You make a great companion," said the Doctor.
The Nurse smiled.
"When you started following your compass, Julie, where were you?" asked the Doctor.
"Arcadia," said the Nurse.
"Right," said the Doctor.
"You're thinking that it's a long way this way," said the Nurse, "and that it's a long way out of Arcadia to anywhere else, especially east, which is where we're heading."
"Yes, I am," said the Doctor.
"Oh, well, that's it then," said the Nurse, "we give up."
"No, we don't, never give in, never give up," said the Doctor. "It is a long way but we'll get there and if we need to, we can use regenerations but we will get there. These wastelands are dangerous but we won't give up until our last regenerations are used up."
The Nurse smiled. "When do we start?" she asked.
"Now," said the Doctor. "we have to be quick," he said. He took her hand and, together, they began running, following the compass, towards Arcadia.
A little while later, a group of bandits had seen them approaching and, in the scorching heat, they decided to cause these two people trouble just because they could, so, they mounted their horses, whistled to their allies and rode down the mountains to block the way ahead.
The Doctor and the Nurse saw them and slowed to a walk until they got up to them. They were still sweating bucket fulls.
"Sorry, everyone, we really are in a hurry," said the Doctor and he took three steps forward.
The bandits didn't move. "You're not going anywhere," said their leader.
"We're going to Arcadia," said the Doctor.
"Password," said the bandit leader.
"What?" asked the Nurse. "Arcadia doesn't have a password, I left it earlier."
The bandit leader suddenly recognised the Nurse. "You again," he said.
"Yes, me again. I'm guessing earrings won't get me out of this one," said the Nurse.
"No," said the bandit leader. "Regeneration energy will though."
"I'm not giving you any extra regenerations, greedy," said the Nurse.
"I didn't ask you to," said the bandit leader. "We want to see a password of sacrificed regeneration energy," said the bandit leader.
"You want me to regenerate?" asked the Nurse.
"If you like," said the bandit leader.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling.
The bandit leader smiled. His backup was on the way.
The Nurse's first regeneration was near.
NEXT TIME:
The bandit leader was wrong. This was a dry desert wasteland, sink holes weren't an odd occurrence, the loud rumbling was the beginning of a sink hole.
"What's happening?" asked the Doctor, who had never seen the inside of a TARDIS before.
Now they had to work out the next bit of their journey.
