[ The Doctor simply nods to the dreamer as they find themselves in The TARDIS console room. He's flying around the console, as par usual, hitting random things and random dials. Sitting on his head is a cowboy hat. Somehow, it just works with the bowtie, suspenders and green coat. Don't ask. ]

Right then! I've got a special treat in mind. [ He

3. Let's go~

[bishonenbunny]

[He's honestly surprised. He hasn't really celebrated Christmas since he was a kid, not since his parents died, and now, here's this stranger in a cowboy hat telling him that he'll understand when they land.

When they land?]

Where are we going? [Oh, god. DID KOTETSU PUT YOU UP TO THIS...]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ The Doctor stops and looks at the man. Hm. He's new--ah well, the more the merrier! He grins and jumps over to him, offering his hand. ]

Hello! I'm the Doctor.

[bishonenbunny]

[Well, he'd better be polite, then. He puts on his best smile and shakes the offered hand.]

I'm Barnaby Brooks Junior. It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor...

[He trails off.]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ He gives him a good shake. ]

Nice to meet you too, Barnaby! Do people ever shorten it? Barny!

[bishonenbunny]

[Oh my god you are worse than his partner when it comes to his name. He stiffens at the nickname.]

It's Barnaby, not Barny.

[thatoldthatkind]

Right. No nicknames. Barnaby. [ He still thinks it's rather long and silly. ] And just where are we from?

[bishonenbunny]

Thank you. [Only his partner is allowed to shorten his name, anyway, and even then sometimes it gets annoying.] Sternbild.

[thatoldthatkind]

Nice country, Sternbild.

[bishonenbunny]

True, though the crime rate leaves something to be desired.

[But hey, he isn't complaining.]

[thatoldthatkind]

With no crime, I get the feeling you'd be out of a job.

[bishonenbunny]

I'd find a new one.

[But his job as a Hero is the most ideal, really. He can dig up clues to what Ouroboros is, even if they don't come by as often as he'd like them to.]

So, where are we going, anyway?

[thatoldthatkind]

No idea on the where! The when, well that one is a surprise too. Ready for one?

[bishonenbunny]

I...suppose so?

[Well, he's honestly surprised. He has very few good memories of Christmas, and the last one he ever truly celebrated was before his parents' deaths. A stranger offering him a surprise for the holidays is something he's never experienced, to his knowledge, outside of his fanbase.]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ He turns back to the console. Be prepared for a bumpy ride, Barnaby! ]

[bishonenbunny]

[He instinctively reaches for the nearest solid object to hold on, just before the ride begins.]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ Good! Because, this ride is crazy--even better? The pilot is just as crazy. ]
