Another day, another story: Crossrip [Episode 21879]

by Kestral

Sailor Pluto, Guardian Of The Gates Of Time, was having a lovely spot of tea.

It was really a pity that no one was allowed near the Gates Of Time. Being able to have a nice chat, maybe some cheese and crackers or a little cake to go with the tea would have been just enough to make this memorable.

Sailor Pluto frowned and put down her teacup. This was certainly unexpected. One just did NOT expect a British Police Call Box circa 1959 to come popping into a temporally restricted area. She eyed her teacup suspiciously, wondering if Future-Minako or Small Lady had come visiting when she'd had to use the Necessary.

The door opened and a young man in a leather jacket came running out. "There's been a multiversal transtemporal crossrip!"

"You're not the Doctor?" asked Sailor Pluto.

"Well, actually, I am," said the man.

"You don't have a long scarf," said a disappointed Pluto. "If I were to have a hallucination, I was rather hoping it would be that version."

"Uhm, no. Haven't had a scarf for awhile," confessed the Doctor.

"At least you don't have that hideous parasol," said Sailor Pluto.

"True... Do I know you?" asked the Doctor.

"I've got most of your series on tape," said Sailor Pluto. "Including the lost episodes, of course." She brightened and got up. "I get to be a Companion?!"

"Well, I..." said the Doctor, looking less panicked and more uncertain as things progressed.

"Just a moment, I'll be packed in a jiff!" said Pluto, zipping off and returning with two large suitcases. "Oh, and I've got to arrange coverage for the Gates. Got a cellphone?"

"I did mention the crossrip didn't I?" asked the Doctor. His eyes tracked to something bulging out of one of the suitcases. "Is that a plushie Dalek?"

"Well, I couldn't leave it behind," answered Pluto. "Wouldn't be proper at all."

"Okayyyyy," said a somewhat weirded out Doctor. "Look. There's going to be a transtemporal crossrip hitting this area momentarily."

"It wasn't an alternate version of me going bonkers and trying to do something anal, was it?" asked Pluto, packing a third suitcase with tapes and other bric-a-brac.

"I really don't know, but I doubt it," said the Doctor.

"Not Akane Tendo cooking? I've heard about what happened when Akane Tendo, C-Ko, and a few other reality-challenged chefs got together for a cook-off," asked Pluto.

"Somehow I don't think so," hedged the Doctor, looking repeatedly at his watch.

"Genma Saotome botched a demon-summoning ritual?" asked Pluto, trying to decide whether to include the Evangelion DVD that had Gendo selling Rei clones on E-Bay to pay for Eva repairs or the Muppets Take Crystal Tokyo movie.

"That's a possibility, I suppose," hedged the Doctor.

"Well, let's get a move on," said Sailor Pluto, marching into the Tardis. "I wonder what would happen if I 'dead scream'ed a Dalek?"

"Let's not test that anytime soon," said the Doctor, holding up a little action figure of the Fourth Doctor and discovering he had recorded phrases that came up when you pulled his scarf.

"What universe is dropping down into place, anyway?" said Setsuna, changing from her Sailor Pluto guise to indicate she was off-duty.

"Well, it's a Final Fantasy universe," said the Doctor.

"Which one?" asked Setsuna, wondering if she should get a cluebook.
