"You are going straight on the naughty step." The first robot told us melancholy. We were being sheperded along the ship, the two robots arguing with each other.
"What's the escape plan?" Brian asked. It was a good question... when we weren't being watched by the robots that demanded us to follow them.
"Why do you want to escape?" The Doctor questioned.
"They've taken us hostage." Brian continued.
"They're taking us somewhere. We might learn from it." Rory said wearily. The Doctor stopped walking and pinched Rory's cheek.
"Oh, you see? He's so clever! I've missed you, Rory." The Doctor said fondly. I felt myself start to smile.
"What if they kill us?" Brian demanded.
"They wouldn't do that. You're not going to kill us, are you, Rusty?" I questioned.
"Who are you calling Rusty?" The robot demanded of me. If robots could be offended, he would definitely be angry with me.
"Have you seen yourselves lately?" The Doctor backed me up.
"You try being on this ship for two millenia. See how your maintwork does." The second robot spoke up.
"Don't listen to them. They're just being mad because we captured him." The first robot seemed to reason. The Doctor snaked his hand through mine, lending me strength.
"Oh, my goodness." Brian gasped as Rory exclaimed as well.
"Beautiful." I breathed.
"Herbivore. Don't panic. Triceratops. Beautiful!" The Doctor scratched the green triceratops on the head affectionately.
"Shall I shoot it?" One of the robots demanded.
"We're not supposed to shoot the creatures, stupid." The other snapped. I started to pet the dinosaur, and she nuzzled into my hand, sniffing.
"Stop calling me stupid." The dinosaur let out a soft roar.
"Roar yourself. Hello, cutie. Good boy. Who's a lovely Tricey, then? Yes, you are. Yes, you are." I giggled at the Doctor's face. The triceratops started towards Brian, sniffing his midsection.
"What do I do? What do I do?" Brian asked helplessly.
"You don't have any vegetable matter in your trousers, do you, Brian?" The Doctor asked.
"Only my balls." I saw Rory cover his face and let out a little snort.
"I'm sorry?" The Doctor managed.
"Golf balls. Grassy residue." He pulled out two golf balls. The triceratops licked Brian's face and he let out a sound of disgust.
"Oh, bless." The Doctor said.
"Get it away from me." Brian pleaded.
"Throw one." I advised.
"Really? Is this what you want? Is it?" He tossed it to the other side of the room and the triceratops followed happily.
"And breath out. Right-" The Doctor turned back to the robots and smiled. "Take us to your leader." I shook my head at him.
"Really?" Rory asked of him.
"Too good to resist." The Doctor admitted.
