Chapter 2 End of Ep. 5 World War Three. All the dialogue came from the actual episode. You can view the transcript I'm using here http://www.chakoteya.net/doctorwho/27-5.htm I tinker with the switches of the Tardis as I wait the ringing to stop. “Hello?” Her voice floats through the hand set. “Right, I'll be a couple of hours, then we can go.” I'm anxious to get a move on. Her laugh jingles in my ear, “You've got a phone?” I can't keep the smile from spreading across my face. “You think I can travel through space and time and I haven't got a phone? Like I said, couple of hours. I've just got to send out this dispersal. There you go. That's canceling out the Slitheen's advert in case any bargain hunters turn up. “Er, my mother's cooking.” My body tenses, understanding her meaning perfectly. Oh Rose. “Good. Put her on a slow heat and let her simmer.” “She's cooking tea. For us.” I wish we could leave right now. Avoid this whole topic. “I don't do that.” Please understand Rose. “She wants to get to know you.” Her voice thickens, the first tingling of anger carrying across the phone. “Tough. I've got better things to do.” I can't go in there Rose. It's just not what I do. “It's just tea.” she replies dejectedly. I've hurt her feelings, and I want apologize and that's exactly why I can't. “Not to me it isn't.” Don't push me on this Rose. I may be a Time Lord but I'm also a man. Meeting anyone's mother, it always means the same thing. I can't just give in to this because it's easy. It's not. It never will be. “She's my mother.” Rose raises her voice and I can just imagine her expression. I sigh inwardly. “Well, she's not mine.” “Well, that's not fair.” I can almost hear her pouting. There are a lot of things that aren't fair Rose. Too many things. “Well, you can stay there if you want, but right now there's this plasma storm brewing in the Horsehead Nebula. Fires are burning ten million miles wide. I could fly the Tardis right into the heart of it then ride the shock wave all the way out. Hurtle right across the sky and end up anywhere. Your choice.” It's unfair of me and I know it. When I hear the phone click I know exactly what her decision will be. It's what they always say. How could they turn down such fantastic stories of unknown worlds and creatures, when I wind them up so. It doesn't even occur to her that the Tardis, with it's power over all of time and space... it could see those fire today or tomorrow. Ten minutes from now, or ten years from now. But they never think of that when present them with the choice. I could stay for tea. But my hearts would break. I said 'your choice' Rose, as if there was a chance she'd turn me down. But she's just as infatuated as I am. More so even, because she hasn't thought it through. I know how it will end. Just as I know that in a few hours time, she'll be climbing into the Tardis, bags packed, ready for another great adventure. And for a little while, we'll be so busy exploring, we won't have to think about Tea, or mothers. At least until the next time we come to earth. So I hope you like this so far. Let me know in the comments below. I'll slowly be making my way through the series. Also sorry these are short, I'm doing the scenes individually to keep the continuity cleaner.
