Advent Drabble 21 - Errands (requested by legally_bandit)

[earlgreytea68]

The Doctor was dancing around the TARDIS controls with his usual enthusiasm when Rose entered the room.

“Hello!” he beamed at her, happily.

“Doctor,” said Rose, broaching the subject with the gravity it called for. “We need to discuss the state of some of your ties.”

The Doctor drew up short. “What?” he squeaked.

“I think they might need to be…dry-cleaned. Properly dry-cleaned.”

“Earth dry-cleaned? But…what’s wrong with TARDIS dry-cleaning?”

“The TARDIS has refused to clean the ties anymore.”

The Doctor stared at Rose. “I’m going to have dry-cleaning?”

“The last nail of domesticity in your coffin,” Rose agreed, mildly.

*snickers* Poor Doctor. But, see, now I'm wondering, why is the TARDIS refusing to dry-clean his ties?

[earlgreytea68.livejournal.com]

They're just too filthy! The TARDIS is refusing out of *principle*!

This is good, but it's not addressing the real question: Why won't TARDIS clean them?!

[earlgreytea68.livejournal.com]

They're simply too filthy. The TARDIS believes they are beyond repair. ;-)

Hehe! :]] Thanks so much! I'm snickering to myself about the state those ties must be in for the TARDIS to refuse to dry clean them.

[earlgreytea68.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they are pretty dire!

[redcirce]

lol, poor Doctor. Though of course, I'm wondering how he got them so filthy that the TARDIS won't help...

Well, you know the Doctor! Rose has stopped asking the question. ;-)
