“What’s this? My suit’s stained! I can’t go out like this! What will people think?” It’s the worst kind of betrayal; the Doctor's used to his clothes being clean and they’re anything but.


The TARDIS makes no response; silently she waits. She’s sentient, organic technology, and she cares for him to the best of her ability. That includes the laundry; sonics are very effective for cleaning fabric, the dirt just falls away to be sucked up and vented. Just hang clothes in any of her closets and when they’re needed they’ll be clean.


But not until the Doctor cleans her!

Reminds me of Wilf's comment when he first went inside... "Thought it'd be cleaner."

Yes, the Doctor does let his TARDIS down by not taking proper care of her!

Thank you.

No problem.:)

I wonder how long it will take for the Doctor to realise what's going on.:D

[bk_forever]

I think he'll feel the TARDIS's displeasure before long and realise she's not happy with him.

To be a fly on the TARDIS wall when that happens.:)

I'm sure it would be entertaining!
