Doctor Who – An Ordinary Wednesday
The young woman sat at a table in a London café that seemed like most others in that seemingly ordinary city. It was close to a Tube station, but then many were. A cooling coffee was in front of her, as was a tattered crossword book. She had finished one of the intermediate crosswords when she was interrupted, by her phone ringing.
“Angie?” she wondered. Why was she calling? She wondered as she answered the phone. “Hello? Angie?”
“Miss Oswald,” Angie began.
Miss Oswald interrupted her. “I have said that you can call me Clara.”
“Yes, Clara,” Angie said. “But your boyfriend is here, with his Box.”
Ordinarily, Clara would have denied that the Doctor was her boyfriend, but after Trenzalore she wasn’t sure. “Tell him that I’m waiting at the ‘Bean of Plenty.’ He’ll know where it is.”
“Sure, Clara, bye,” Angie said, before hanging up.
Clara placed the crossword book back in her handbag and took a sip from her coffee before she heard the familiar sounds of a TARDIS beginning to materialise. Soon, the displaced air was blowing away empty (and nearly empty) cups throughout the establishment. The Doctor stepped out, wearing something on his head. “What’s that?” Clara asked.
The Doctor took it off. “This?” he asked. “It’s an Akubra. Akubra’s are cool.”
“Really?” Clara asked.
“I got it from an Australian town named Tocumwal after I drove a Bunyip back into the Murray River,” the Doctor answered.
Clara didn’t doubt that. She knew of Tocumwal due to it being close to one of Australia’s large roadside attractions she wanted to see, the Big Strawberry. “I see,” she said.
“So, where do you want to go?” the Doctor asked.
Clara thought for a moment. “Back to Australia? A town called Gundagai?” She suggested. The ‘Dog on a Tucker Box’ seemed more interesting than any of the Big Fruit.
“Cool,” the Doctor said, oblivious to the fact that the TARDIS’ arrival had drawn attention in the café (despite the Perception Filter).
Clara followed the Doctor into the TARDIS, not realising that one of the baristas was following her.
Gundagai
It was early evening when the TARDIS materialised in a side street.
Inside however…
The Doctor had set the TARDIS in motion, not realising that it wasn’t only himself and Clara in the console room. “What is this?” the barista asked.
“Who are you?” the Doctor asked.
“Dani. I work at the Bean of Plenty,” the barista, Dani, answered.
“So you just came in?”
“You did disrupt the café,” Dani answered. “Strange, this Box is bigger on in the inside than the outside.”
