Doctor:"Once upon a time, there was this man who stole a time machine..."
Emma:"A girl who was born from the product of love between Snow White and Prince Charming..."
Eleven:"A girl escaping a bad place..."
Doctor:"Up and down history he goes, zip...
The Doctor sits on his desk, grading another set of homework, until Bill Potts enters his office and extends her homework.
Bill:"Here you go. My overdue essay on free will."
The Doctor looks up from his desk and at Bill's paper then at Bill.
Doctor:"Not front and back, right?"
Bill:"Nope."
Doctor:"Three thousand words exactly? Not including commas, periods, and other 'characters' like that."
Bill:"Yep."
Doctor:"In your own voice and not just summarizing what you read?"
Bill:"Yes, yes. Everything you recommended is all here."
The Doctor takes Bill's paper.
Doctor:"I'll be the judge of that."The Doctor flips through the homework and then looks up at Bill."Seriously?"
Bill:"What?"
Doctor:"There's a page here that's almost identical to the argument that I had with you about free will."
Bill:"Yeah. Thought that would add... Well, you know, a bit of spice into it. Besides, what has everything we've done ever been recorded? So I'm technically not breaking any of your rules."
Doctor:"That's semi-true. But well done, Miss Potts, you get a 83 on this."
Bill:"Yes! Oh. I've been meaning to tell you, since my foster mum will soon have a day off, you might want to be careful whenever you're around me since she'll be visiting me. She's still a bit frustrated with the grades you've been giving me."
Doctor:"What I gave you was a reasonable grade. It's not my fault that the capacity of your human brain can't withstand my tutoring."The Doctor stands up and walks away from his desk. Bill just nods to herself as a way of agreeing with him. Bill turns to the Doctor who is walking to the TARDIS."Anyways, think we both deserve a break. I sent Nardole to get me a cup of tea, so what do you say?"
Bill smiles.
Bill:"You're on."
The Doctor smiles. He opens the door and Bill steps in. The Doctor enters the TARDIS and closes the door.

Bill looks around the room, listening to the sound that it makes. She takes a deep breath and sighs in relief.
Bill:"I forgot how I miss this ship of yours."
Doctor:"Me too. Now, where should we go now?"
Bill:"After everything we've been through, some place relaxing. I had my fill of adventure for the month. And perhaps on a planet. No more spaceships for a while."
Doctor:"Good idea. How about the sentient nebulae of Blecplam two and a half? Beautiful flashes. Or perhaps the coast of Meta Sigmafolio with the sky looking like oil on water? Or perhaps just a nice view of cosmic fireworks?"
