Under the Boardwalk! (RP for thecricketer and <lj site="livejourn

[ladyoftime]

While neither of them had (or could have) said it in so many words, the Doctor and her TARDIS had a bit of a tiff that lasted several days and landed the former in rather a large number of overly-dangerous situations. It took the Doctor many small repairs she'd been 'meaning' to get around to in order to bring her back into her ship's good graces, but it was worth it. And even though the TARDIS was still refusing to follow the coordinates set, the Doctor suspected this particular side trip was the old girl's way of apologising.

After all, she'd landed on a nice little beach, made even better by the companionship of an ice cream bar. And if you asked her, she deserved a little time without hostile alien takeovers or abnormally large cats.

The Doctor stopped abruptly, his eyes wide as they rested on his former self. Well. This was unexpected.

"Ah, hello." He smiled in return, slipping a hand into his pocket - somehow his fingers brushing against the cricket ball always made him feel better. Confident. He did save the world with it that one time.

"Taking a holiday?" Do please be taking a holiday.

It was then that he registered that he hadn't been the only one who'd answered; his brow furrowed slightly as he turned.

The Doctor had been about to respond with a jovial, 'Yes, I am indeed taking a holiday,' but was stalled when his attention was diverted as he glimpsed his eleventh self.

Three Doctors. Either they were all taking a holiday at once, or there was some sort of trouble afoot that he'd yet to sniff out.

Still, he smiled at both of his incarnations. "Hello, Doctors. How splendid that we all happen to be here at the same time. However, that leads me to wonder whether there's a particular reason for it."

"None that I know of," she said, hoping that the cold wet trickle on her chin wasn't her chocolate ice cream. Terribly embarrassing way to meet up with your past incarnations.

The Doctor shook his head, smiling faintly.

"I came here to relax, I've no idea if..." He trailed off, and his smile widened.

"I think you need a napkin, Doctor."

The Doctor, now standing between his other two incarnations, was practically beaming. And for no reason, though he rarely needed a reason. He often smiled at the most inopportune moments.

Fortuitously, he removed a kerchief from his pocket and held it out for his eleventh self.

"Shall I?" He asked.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence?" she suggested optimistically. Those things do happen, probably.

Then, with a return beam to her Fourth self, "Yes, thank you."

The Doctor raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, perhaps the universe just wanted us to enjoy the day together." Somehow, his tone managed to be wry and hopeful at once.
