The Doctor and the Nurse (comic story): Difference between revisions

The stress from their past few adventures have the Doctor and Rory at each other's throats, and Amy has had just about enough. So she sends them on a boy's night out, must to their chagrin, but with a TARDIS at their disposal.

[[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] materializes on several planets in time and space, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Rory Williams]] taking turns to check their surroundings before throwing in the towel. They're lost.

Several hours earlier on [[Hipponensis 3]] in the year [[7213]], the TARDIS flees from the [[Siblinghood of Saint Augustine, Physicist]], and clamber back into the TARDIS. Before the Doctor can take off, the ship is struck by a [[chronomagnetic pulse]]... to no effect. Shrugging it off, the Doctor sets sails while explaining that the Siblighood are "[[presentism|presentists]]" and are religiously opposed to the idea of both the past and future. Rory is incensed that the Doctor knew about the cult and took them there anyway. As the two argue, [[Amy Pond]] silences them before realising that she has always stood in the way of Rory and the Doctor forming a closer bond, Rory never having been the Doctor's sole companion as she once was, and saying that they need to travel without her for a while to properly bond. Agreeing, Rory only requests that there be "lots of beer" which the Doctor inputs into the TARDIS.

Materializing in [[London]] in [[1814]], a date and location which gives the Doctor a feeling that he's forgetting something, Amy leaves the two in a pub before she goes off to sightseeing. The two men quickly retreat to the TARDIS where the Doctor proposes skipping ahead a few hours. Though Rory is initially opposed to the idea, as the Doctor's entire history with Amy is literally nothing but arriving late, the prospect of holding a conversation with the Doctor is enough for him to take the risk. Soon enough, the two emerge in a London night. Specifically, a night during [[The Blitz]] where they find none other than [[Ian Fleming]] pinned under rubble. After the spy falls unconscious, the Doctor gets to work disarming the bomb while Amy texts Rory.

Lying that they're having great fun, Amy sulks in the boring world of 1814. Deciding to head back to the TARDIS and just watch television, Amy spies a [[The Silence|Silence]] agent. Though she briefly considers calling the Doctor, she decides that he and Rory need this time and that she can handle it.

Back in [[World War II]], the Doctor and Rory, now dressed in full tuxedoes, bid goodbye to that adventure, with the Doctor praising Rory for inspiring [[James Bond]], before the Doctor hits the [[fast return switch]]. Rather than 1814, the TARDIS lands in [[Los Angeles]], circa 35,000 BCE. As the Doctor instructs Rory to close the doors before the TARDIS is flooded with tar, he suddenly remembers why they need to return to Amy. Before the doors can be closed, a saber-toothed tiger leaps into the ship and onto the [[TARDIS control console|console]], Rory sending it running after bopping it on the nose with a rolled up magazine. As the Doctor works the ship, he sends Rory to find tranquilizer laced meat with which to trap and sedate the predator.
