Doctor Who Adventures Beyond

5. Planet Siberia

The Doctor and Shalek are walking through a market on Castela.

Shalek: Shopping is so much easier when you have a Tardis. The market on Gao Island is trash. The one in Royal City, however...

Doctor: Right, but can we go buy what we came for? You bought literally everything except a sword.

Shalek: Oh, yeah. I don't want to risk getting in a situation like the one with the Aztecs and not have a sword.

Doctor: I saw swords a while ago. I tried to tell you but you were buy buying everything else.

Shalek: Where were they?

Doctor: You think I know? I don't even know the way out. This place is enourmous.

Shalek: That's because you can find everything here.

Doctor: They might HAVE everything here, but you'll spend half a day finding what you're looking for.

Shalek: You're exxagerating. We even have a map of the market.

Shalek takes out the map.

Shalek: See, that's where the swords are.

Doctor: But we don't know where WE are.

Shalek: Oh...

Doctor: We're never getting out of here.

Later, the Tardis materializes inside Hailey's house. Hailey stands up from her computer. The Doctor and Shalek come out of it.

Shalek is holding a brand new sword.

Hailey: You're back.

The Doctor immediately lies on the sofa.

Doctor: Never go to Royal City Market on Castela.

Hailey: Why not?

Doctor: Just don't.

Hailey takes a peak into the Tardis. What are in all of those bags?

Doctor: Everything you can buy on Castela.

Shalek: You're exxagerating.

Hailey: How can you afford all that?

Shalek: I'm a knight, remember.

Hailey: Then... when are you going to pay me for those chocolates?

Shalek: Do you accept Castelian currency?

Hailey: No, what would I do with tht?

Shalek: Well, I don't have Earth currency.

Hailey: Then...Hmmm... You need to get a job.

Shalek: I already do. I'm a knight.

Hailey: I mean one here, on Earth.

Shalek: I'd rather not.

Hailey: Doctor, we're going to get him a job. Coming?

Doctor: After he dragged me trough a market for 4 hours at 34 degrees celcius, no. I'll rest until you come back.

Hailey: Alright. Let's go.

Shalek: I never said I was going.

Hailey grabs his arm and takes him out the house.

Shalek: Oh....well, I guess I am, then.

Shalek and Hailey return after 3 hours.

Hailey: It's hopeless. I guess being a knightnis your thing.

Doctor: Did nothing work?

Hailey: No.

Doctor: Why don't you get him employed at Unit?
