The Mother Road was the first short story in the Short Trips anthology Short Trips: Farewells. It was written by Gareth Wigmore. It featured the First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Susan.

Summary

The Doctor and his friends are stuck in Chicago in 2006. The Doctor has lost the TARDIS in a bet, and the four must journey to California to retrieve it. They take a road trip across America. On the way, they stop to enjoy themselves in several American cities.

In Texas, Barbara and Ian wonder if the Doctor is up to something. They also discuss getting home eventually and how much they enjoy travelling with the Doctor.

When they reach California, the Doctor participates in an online auction, finally winning his TARDIS back. It turns out that it must be picked up in Chicago, and Ian wonders how long the Doctor has known that the TARDIS was in Chicago all along. The Doctor admits he thought they could all do with a vacation, then he proceeds to get plane reservations for the trip back to Chicago.
