Great blue box. Anybody seen it?

Don't tell me you've lost it. I don't see how you can possibly lose something like that.

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

It's easier than you'd think, really. Sometimes I think she's got a mind of 'er own.

[longsforfreedom.livejournal.com]

'She'? It's a girl, then, like a boat?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. And sometimes, it's "it".

[longsforfreedom.livejournal.com]

When is it a girl, and when is it an 'it'?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Does as directed, "it". Does as it pleases, "she". More or less.

[longsforfreedom.livejournal.com]

Right. So since you seem to be without your precious box at the moment, it's a girl, then.

A pity more women don't do as they please 'round you. I'd wager it would be rather fun.

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Psssh. They do it all the time, for goodness' sake.

And it is fun.

[longsforfreedom.livejournal.com]

Do they? I suppose I'm no different, then.

I would never have guessed you would enjoy it.

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

You've lost it again?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

It happens!

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

Way too much!

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Mind of its own. I'm telling you. Why should it be any different than anyone else I travel with?

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

Well it isn't like she can just wonder off like the rest of us.

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Left me stranded on a sinking ship, in fact. A couple of thousand miles above the planet.

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

And was there a reason she did that?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

She fell overboard? Latched onto Earth's gravity well and landed?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Not lately. I'll let you know if one turns up. Until then, when was the last time you saw it?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Greatly appreciated. I believe I materialised inside of one of those giant cargo containers, on the back of a lorry. While it was stopped.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh boy.

Didn't happen to get the license plate number down, did you?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

License plate. Right. Erm, no.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Right.

Remember anything about the truck? Like if it had its company printed on it, or anything?

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...

Something, something "shipping lines".

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

That's not very helpful. Think maybe you're kinda screwed for a while, Doctor.

Never understood why you don't have a remote control for her. Lord knows this isn't the first time this's happened...

[doctor-dances.livejournal.com]

How was I supposed to know the giant metal box was just a big tote bag?

The TARDIS is a magnificently complex and advanced piece of machinery. Besides, the batteries for a remote would be the size of my head.
