PART 2 with Ghostface2018xx

Moments after finding the oddly shaped puddle, The Doctor began to smile.

This is brilliant!

Clearly we’re not in our universe. This sort of thing just doesn’t happen. That’s such a perfectly formed duck puddle. That’s just impossible!

Look at you, all smiley! What are you thinking Doctor?

So what are you saying? Did you ever see The Matrix? That’s more Mickey’s kind of thing. Why?

I have reason to believe we are in some kind of simulation. This kind of physics could only have been coded. Suddenly, three interesting-looking women run up to The Doctor and Rose.

Excuse me! Hello!

Hello, can we help you?

You’re The Doctor, aren’t you?

No, um, we just saw the TARDIS and we thought you could help us. Yep, he’s The Doctor, I’m Rose, and how do you know us?

Of course! I assume you brought us here?

We were watching a star die into a supernova explosion, forming a black hole, I mean we do it all the time, except we were hit by an Asteroid and our engines began to fail because SOMEONE forgot to put the shields up—

Maybe that wouldn’t have happened if you tidied up the console room a bit. I was busy doing it for you.

Ooof rookie mistake. I did that once, it wasn’t fun. My TARDIS whined about it for months! She still doesn’t let me forget it.

Anyway, we got dragged into the black hole and we sent you the SOS hoping you could get us out of here.

Sure, we’d love to help! There’s one tiny problem, though.

What do you mean?

You must be from our Universe so you must know that it’s gonna take lots of calculations before either of our ships will be willing to take us home. Basically, the TARDIS is sulking. The sisters turned to each other, stunned.

Oh, I’m Sunburst, this is Plasma, and over there is Gamma. We’re sisters, species is Xinar. Well ladies, looks like we’re gonna fix your ship, calculate how to get out of here and get us all home, before this one’s mother slaps me for being late again.
