Doctor Who Drabble: Clogged

Characters: Rory Williams, Eleventh Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 528: Filter at dw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: There’s a problem with the TARDIS’ engines.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




There’s a problem with the TARDIS, even Rory can tell. It always shudders and shakes and makes grinding noises, but not like this, and the whining sound coming from the time rotor is setting his teeth on edge.


“What’s wrong with her?” he shouts at the Doctor, who’s under the console, poking around.


“The filters are clogged.”


“The TARDIS has filters?”


“Of course. Something has to keep timey-whimey gunk from getting into the engine. Can’t have the past and the future contaminating the now. Bits of time from all over stuck in here.”


Apparently, time looks a lot like spaghetti.

But not as yummy. Don't mind me.:)

[bk_forever]

Definitely not as yummy *grins*

Thank you!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've got pasta on my mine. Such as Angel Hair. The name amuses me.:)

You're welcome.

[bk_forever]

Pasta does have some very curious names.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

They usually have more than one name. Not that it matters, I'm just after a lovely meal.:)

[bk_forever]

I can't eat pasta because grain products don't agree with me.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Food allergies. I'm not as discipline as I could be. Unless there's a really bad reaction. Than I get paranoid and avoid it altogether.:(

[bk_forever]

I have to avoid a lot of things. *sigh*

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Sounds tough. I try not to dwell on food/ingredients I can't have. It's challenging though.*sighs*

[bk_forever]

I have to be careful all the time.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I went to a nutritionist for a while. In the end, I just figured I'd do trial diets to maintain my ideal weight and reduce allergies.*sending you a virtual hug*

[bk_forever]

I tried, but I was just told to cut out things that affect me.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I see. It sounds complex. I remember being on a liquid diet when I first had my braces. I had no idea, how painful and annoying it would be to find something decent to eat with metal in my mouth.

[bk_forever]

It isn't fun. I've had to cut out a lot of things I like.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I guess it all boils down to getting nourishment.

I hope I haven't said anything untoward.*looks closely at your userpic*

[bk_forever]

No, not at all. I just like that usepic.

I take suplements to help me get enough vitamins and minerals, but I miss the days when I could eat anything.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I see what you mean. I should be taking more Vitamin supplements myself. Since I use some of my time diagnosing myself whenever I have a minor symptom.*internet is my friend*

[bk_forever]

Supplements are good.

Yep. That motto should be written on a t-shirt.
