Be Prepared!
A clang. Sparks fly. The lights dim.
"Bugger."
"What happened, Doc?"
He pushes buttons. "Phase-mutator crashed. Need to run an adjustment cycle. We're stuck till it's finished."
"In the Vortex?"
"In this room. Silly thing triggered a false alarm and locked us down."
"How long?"
"Four hours at least." He rubs his temples. "Why are you bloody grinning?"
Jack opens a rarely-used compartment and holds up a jar. "Because I hid some banana jam here for just such an occasion." He reaches for his flies. "Fancy a banana lolly?"
The Doctor grins.
In the end, the waiting's not that bad.
The End
