A Cruel Fate

A Cruel Fate
In a small park green in the suburbs of London, there sits a man by a huge stone sculpture. While the sculpture is large and obtrusive, it is nothing more than a featureless block of stone. The same cannot be said about the man. His suit, an ugly patchwork of jean, leather, and neon material, was ragged and dirty and stinking of booze.  His hair wiry and messy, his face, wearing a mean scowl while he mumbles angrily to himself and to anyone that passes by.

Meanwhile The Doctor, fiddles with the control panel of his TARDIS. "Those Cephloids sure do know how throw a party. But it's high time for me to be getting out of here, don't you think? Where to then old girl? Think I need some peace and quiet for once. Somewhere unassuming, where i'm not to be disturbed, maybe a  moon around a gas giant, what do you say?" The Doctor pulls a crank and the TARDIS begins to whirr as it disappears and re-appears . "Ah, here we are. oh wait! No we're not, this is Earth!! More specifically, London!! I'm never going to get some peace and quiet here, ah never mind, the quiet life isn't really for me anyway. Well let's see what's going on shall we?"

Exiting the TARDIS the Doctor instantly notices the huge monolith. "Well this certainly isn't normal, better check it out." Running over to the monolith the doctor see the man sitting by the monolith. "You there, better get away from it, it could be dangerous!" "Dangerous!? This is my home!" the man scowls angrily.
"What!? Really?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
"Oh, you're not from here are you? Did think those clothes seemed a bit strange. A crime against fashion if ever I did see one. " The doctor ineffectively mumbles to himself.
"Oh great, more insults!"
"Oh, sorry, being a traveller myself, I often get a few odd looks from people."
"I'm sure you do" the man bitterly replies.
"Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, you better get this thing out of here before it upsets anyone."
"I can't"
"It's broken? Well i'm just the man to help you fix it!"
"It's not broken, it just won't move. At least not since i got here"
"Then how do you know it's not broken?
"Trust me, it's not broken!"
"Oh, I see..........I think. "
" Well we'd best try and get it out of here."
"Go ahead, you'll never do it."
"What did you say your name was?"
"I didn't........it doesn't matter, i'm nobody."
"Nobody!?" "I used to be a doctor..........but.........well...... not anymore."
"Oh........well I am actually THE Doctor. Funny isn't it"
"Hilarious." the man sarcastically replies"
"Well, anyway, let go inside and get this thing working"
"I told you It's NOT broken"
"Ok ok, not broken. "
The doctor steps inside the block. Oh! It's a bit cramped in here.
"Yeah..... smaller on the inside.....THEY thought it was funny."
"Smaller on the inside!? Your people..?
"Timelords, stuffy bunch, got sick of my antics and exiled me here."
"Hmmm interesting. Hold on a minute. "

The doctor runs back to his TARDIS and checks his monitor.
"Yes, just as a suspected, a parallel world, and i've just met the parallel me, a down on your luck doctor, poor fellow, well let's see if I can help him out."
The doctor returns to the other doctor.
"Oh,  you're back" the other doctor unenthusiastically remarks.
"Yes and back to it." He squeezes back into this joke of a tardis.

The inside was about the size of  a small broom cupboard with a very low ceiling forcing the doctor to maintain a slight ducking position to avoid banging his head. It was dimly lit by a small bulb, was damp, and had a tangle of pipes taking up what little room was available.
There doesn't seem to be any kind of interface" the doctor notes while looking around
"Ow, my elbow, better watch those pipes" The doctor uses the glow of his sonic screwdriver to cast more light, and feels around for something and anything.  Eventually he comes across a miniscule red button hidden behind a web of tangled pipes in the bottom corner of this tardis.

"Hmm, well this must be it. Here goes."
The doctor presses it and wait excitedly but nothing happens.
"I know, I'll  try reversing the polarity? OH! Nothing!? I was actually expecting that would work, it usually does."
"What are you babbling on about in there!?"
"Oh silly silly silly doctor, the  rules of this world are opposite to my own so if i just unreverse the polarity."
The red button begins to flash.
"YES, that did it!"
What's going on in here?

The other doctor looks in only to be pushed in as the door closes forcing the two doctors right up against one another.
The ship begins to groan.
"OH NO! NOT THAT NOISE AGAIN! WHAT HAVE YOU GONE AND DONE!?"
The ship sounds like someone throwing up and constantly dry heaving.
That's the sounds this tardis make?
"horrible isn't it"
"Wait a minute! What do you mean, oh no!?"
"You've actually gone and done it! I didn't think you'd actually do it."
"I thought you'd be glad, you can finally go back to travelling time and space."
"You don't understand!"
"Oh pish posh.  Adventure, here we come!!"
The tardis groans loader and loader and begins spinning and churning in the most unpleasant way.
"How long has it been?" the doctor shouts while holding back the contents of his stomach.
"An hour I think"
"We must be almost there?"
 The groaning and spinning slowly comes to a stop.
"Ah, we're here, wherever and whenever that is. Not the most pleasant form of travel i grant you but a means to end. Come doctor, a new world awaits. "

The doctor pushes open the door and steps outside.
"OH! WHAT!? We've barely moved!"
"Well just a few inches."
This can't be right
The other doctor steps out, and throws up a little and replies "I'm afraid it is"
You mean we spent an hour being spun around like a pair of socks in a washing machine just for a few inches!
"I'm just glad we got out when we did"
And you were sent from gallifrey in this!?
"Yes, it was a billion eternities."
"I'm so sorry."
"Yes well that doesn't matter now. My luck has finally changed"
"What do you mean?"
The other doctor runs towards the doctors TARDIS
"Time for me to get off this wretched rock"
 "NO! WAIT!! WE COULD GO TOGETHER!!"
"You and I, it would never work. Goodbye Doctor."
The TARDIS dematerialises leaving the doctor stranded on Earth.
