    Around this time, there was a TV movie based on Brave New World; I think Leonard Nimoy was in it. I'd never read the book -- still haven't -- but one aspect of the movie did give me a couple ideas. Rather than choose one, I wrote both. Since they're variations on a theme, I may as well post them together.



    Title: Randy New World

    "In all our travels, the only two who haven't are you and Sil."

    "Really?"

    Peri nodded.

    "Fine, next stop, no one will 'hit on' you. I promise."

    * * *

    Peri looked up at the imposing skyscrapers and flashing message boards. "Where are we?" she asked.

    "Earth, well into your future."

    "Doctor, what's Soma? I..." Peri paused. "Oh no."

    "What?"

    "'Promiscuity is everyone's duty'?" She turned and saw a queue of over twenty men form within seconds. "Doctor!"

    "Not danger like this." He pointed at a message board with his umbrella.

    "Why? What's Soma? Some kind of narcotic?"

    "No, the sign below that."

    "'Promiscuity is everyone's duty.' Oh."

    The Doctor handed her a tranquiliser gun. "Take this."

    "Is this to fight off the men?" Benny asked.

    The Doctor chuckled. "No, you'll be safe from them in the TARDIS."

    "Then why the tranq gun?"

    "I want you to keep Ace in there as well."

    "With nothing but a tranq gun?"

    Mel was doing squats in the console room when he arrived. "What is that noise?" he demanded.

    "What, the bells?"

    "Yes, the bells!"

    "You know that room with the dreary stones and vines?"

    "The Cloister Room?"

    "And that sad old bell?"

    "Yes!"

    "I replaced it. These sound so much happier."

    "Happier? It's not supposed to sound happy! It's supposed to warn of extreme peril!" His eyes widened. "Mel!"

    "New game."

    The Doctor cheered. "Nothing but net! That's game."

    "No. One more. Cricket."

    "Can't. Need teams."

    "Umm..."

    "Wait. I have an idea." The Doctor left.

    * * *

    The Doctor returned. "Fenric, meet Toymaker. Toymaker, Fenric. You two should get along well. You're even the same age, nearly."

    Just then, the Doctor emerged. "If'n that don't beat all!" Morton shouted. "I remember you! You're that Hollywood director guy I met in New York City!"

    "Excuse me?"

    "Y'know, at the Empire State Building? You were makin' that movie with the weird robots? Never did see it. Golly, a Hollywood movie right here! Just so's y'all know, it's 1968 here."

    "Sorry I'm late. Peri, this is Sam."

    "Hi," Sam said.

    Peri frowned. "'Bout time you came."

    "I was told you were happy."

    "They lied. Let's go." She pushed past into the TARDIS.

    "You redecorated."

    "Yes. I must apologise again. The Time Lords... Oh no."

Though how someone could stop him getting vapourised in the centre of the Eye of Harmony was beyond him.

    * * *

    The Master inhaled sharply. He was alive, lying on barren, rocky ground. He realised where he was and screamed.

    "Who dares intrude on my domain?"

    The Master stared at the figure. "I thought you..."

    "Dead? No, part of me remains forever here," Omega declared, "with you."

    He was silenced by her finger against his lips as her body pressed against his. "I had to come back, Doctor. Oh, you're so much handsomer than your last regeneration. So much more virile. And I love this coat!" She cooed girlishly and rubbed his lapels.

    "Tegan, I..." The Doctor sniffed the air. "Wait a minute. I smell fish. Frobisher, how did you get Tegan's form?"

    Back in the '90s, there was a straight-to-video movie with the Sontarans taking over a ship on its shakedown cruise. One day, I was thinking about the title and came to a different interpretation.

    He felt something in the centre of his back. "Yes."

    Jim obeyed. A brown, mottled hand with only three fingers reached past him and grabbed the cash. Jim turned around and saw two short men in quilted armour.

    "Today, you have contributed to the fight against the Rutan host," one of them said. "Tomorrow, you will feel the need to contribute again. Am I clear?"

    She veered into the frozen foods aisle and paused. "There's something in the freezers." She opened the door and surprised two Cybermen.

    "Hello, shopper," one said.

    "What are you doing in there?" the Doctor demanded.

    "We're restocking the frozen peas."

    "Come out here."

    "We can't. Our cooling units were damaged."

    "Doctor," Ace whispered.

    "Doctor? Oh please, don't get us fired."

    "Woohoowoohoowoohoo!" A bizarre, varicoloured mass bounced off one wall, then another, then landed in front of the Doctor. He was tall and thin and wore tights which somehow matched the Doctor's coat.

    "It's your distilled wackiness," the Master said.

    The Wackiness pulled two spoons from thin air and banged them together. "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest. Do you think that was the pirate version of stuffing uni students in phone booths?"

    A plane sat on the tarmac of an American aeroport. "Here comes the hero of the hour."

    A man emerged from the plane. A woman held him tight, and a scientist and winged man stood beside him.

    Benton laughed. "It's the American footballer, Flash Gordon."

    "Membrane?"

    "It looks almost like an egg."

    The biologist handled the sphere. "Not avian or reptile," he pronounced. "If not for the size, I'd say insect, maybe spider."

    "It hatched, and I had a beautiful, apparently normal daughter. She's with my family in Australia."

    Nyssa laughed. "You too?"

    Jo gathered the items. The Doctor assembled a bizarre device, then used his gold pen to stir the soup. "Oh, I need to reverse the polarity of the noodle flow," he said, and stirred in the opposite direction. "Brigadier, can you hear me?"

    A man strolled into the cold, whistling.

    "Near death, Doctor?"

    "Hmm." The Doctor approached. "Captain Oates?"

    "Who are you?" the man asked.

    "We're here to see your noble sacrifice," Jo said.

    The man looked at her oddly. "My what?"

    "Haven't you come out here to die?" the Doctor asked.

    Oates held up a bog roll. "Nope."

    The Doctor considered, then knocked Oates unconscious. "Jo, you grab his legs. We're taking him with us."

    He wasn't following the plan, the Master thought. "No, it must be on the xylophone."

    Later...

    Again short, the Doctor found Mindy playing on a cliff. He ran forward, tripped, and fell over the side. He opened his umbrella, but it folded up, and he plummeted.

    "Of course." The man handed Steed his brolly, and Steed gave him the colourful umbrella. "This isn't mine. In fact... Oh no." He dropped it and hid under the desk as a large man in a varicoloured jacket strode toward them.

    "Unhand my umbrella!"

    "I'm looking for a ring I used to wear during my first regeneration." He sat up suddenly. "Leela, you're a genius!"
