"What the heck is that?" asked Ranma.
"It says 'Police Call Box'," said Akane, able to read.
"Shampoo think they use those many year ago in Great Britain."
"Uhm, Shampoo, what are you doing here?" asked Ranma.
"Shampoo listening to news story of meteor crashing in Juuban, want to find out if Ranma want to go see," said Shampoo cutely. "Also Great Grandmother doing I-ching, and Tarot, and other prodnogdi- prog know - progii- Fortunetelling. She say terrible tragic story about to hit fan."
"Oh," said Ranma.
"Excuse me, oh dear, this isn't Trafalgar Square, circa 1984?" asked a fellow in a leather jacket as he stepped out of the blue box.
"Nerima, Japan, 1992," said Ranma. "You got Ryoga navigating that thing?"
"No. I'm the Doctor, and currently I have one companion named Rose - but she ate something that's a little bit indigestible by human standards and is currently unavailable for comment," said the Doctor. "I wonder why I ended up here. I'm sure I had the settings correct."
"You no connected to meteor that land in Juuban?" asked Shampoo. "Wait. Is 'Doctor' as in 'Doctor'? Is TARDIS?"
"You know him?" asked Ranma, wondering if this was going to be another martial arts challenge after all.
"Hello, Doctor, it's been awhile."
"Why are you sitting on my head?" asked Akane, reasonably.
"Do I know you?" asked the Doctor.
"Well, it HAS been three hundred years, more or less. You've changed yourself," pointed out the old ghoul. "Remember a tall woman in the Bayankala Mountain Range?"
"Cologne?!" asked the Doctor, aghast. "You've..."
"Not all of us get to avoid growing old, Doctor," said Cologne drily. "I take it that the meteor that landed in Juuban is connected to you?"
"Meteors don't land," said Akane, trying to dislodge the Amazon sitting on her head without being obvious.
"Exactly my point," said Cologne.
"I don't know of anything off the top of my head," said the Doctor.
Meanwhile, in Azabu Juuban, a hatch was opening and something came out of the 'meteor'.
