THIS TIME ROUND: NOT THAT! NOT HERE! 1/1 by Paul Gadzikowski DOCTOR WHO series characters and concepts copyright BBC tv THIS TIME ROUND concept by Tyler Dion, after Keille "Maturity," said the Doctor, "is knowing when to allow the other fellow to be wrong." "And you know all about that," said Fitz. The Doctor didn't turn at the sound as someone else entered This Time Round and slammed the door, but at the sound of several gasps that immediately followed. He saw Doctor Six and Peri there, their backs pressed up against the closed door as ones being pursued by demons from hell. They each sported at least one visible bruise, and their clothing had been clawed and tattered. Peri, as tends to happen in this author's humor pieces, was quite indecent. "It's like a war zone out there!" bellowed Doctor Six. The Doctors converged on him and walked him to the bar where Harry poured him a brandy, while the girl companions present tried - to only moderate success - to come up with enough spare wardrobe between them to cover Peri. "What happened?" asked Doctor Two. "Daleks?" asked Doctor Five. "Dominators?" asked Doctor One. "Daltrenays?" asked Doctor Four. Doctor Six slugged the brandy shot down and shook his head. "No," he choked out, "we just had to go through all the other threads on the newsgroup to get here." "Oh, dear." "Oh, no." "Oh yes," said Doctor Six, waving to Harry for a refill, "it's like radw out there." THE END
