Twice Upon a Time (TV story): Difference between revisions

The First Doctor then asks what the Twelfth has done to the TARDIS, as its bigger than it used to be. The Twelfth Doctor tells him its from "all those years of being bigger on the inside. You try keeping your tummy tucked in that long", defending his beloved vessel. The Twelfth Doctor questions why his younger self is refusing to regenerate, with the First Doctor explaining he has courage, and more importantly the right to live and die as he is now. The Twelfth Doctor tells him it's already too late, explaining to the First Doctor that moments ago he was weak but is now suddenly fine, the First as well as the Twelfth Doctor are currently in a "[[state of grace]]" but that it won't last forever as both Doctors need to make a choice: choose to regenerate and continue with their lives, or die as they are now. A dreadful realisation suddenly hits the Twelfth Doctor: if his first incarnation refuses to regenerate and dies now, then all of the things he would do in the future would never happen. However, as the Twelfth Doctor tries explaining this realisation to the First Doctor, as he fears what consequences this decision might cause, the snow around them suddenly freezes in midair, capturing the pair's attention, as [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart|a man]] dressed in [[World War I]] attire approaches them. He seems disorientated and asks the pair if either of them are a doctor. Exchanging a glance with the First Doctor, the Twelfth asks if the man is making some sort of joke.
