greghousesgfJeeves and the Very Happy Ending
"Jeeves, what on Earth is a police telephone box doing in the alley behind the Drones club?! Did Figgy Featherstonehaugh decide to go beyond the usual pinching policemen's helmets?"
"Sir, while you are correct in surmising that the object in question was absconded with by some of your fellow Drones in high spirits, the rightful owner of this particular object is not the police but a gentleman calling himself 'the Doctor'." (discreet cough) "This rather complicates the situation, sir."
"Can't just bung the bally thing back to the police, then?"
"Sir, I have taken the liberty of examining and testing the device and, as unlikely as this sounds, it appears to be a fully functional time travel vehicle."
"I say!"
"I should like to propose that we avail ourselves of the opportunity to escape to an era in which the true nature of our, shall we say, relationship can be acknowledged quite openly."
"Now, now, Jeeves, I may not be over-burdened in the brains department, but even I know one can't jolly well go about shouting from the rooftops about what an absolutely bally marvelous lover one's valet is, as much as I enjoy the idea! It simply isn't on."
"Sir, although discretion is very much called for in these matters now, I have seen a future era that is very much changed in its nature. For example, in the time period which I visited, the United States had just elected a gentleman of African descent to the Presidency."
"Good Lord! Things have changed, haven't they?"
"In many ways, very much for the better, sir. I shall, of course, engage the homing device so the conveyance returns to the Doctor after we have reached our destination."
"Well, Jeeves, the future awaits! Shall we?"
"Very good, sir. I have done a good deal of research and I believe the results will be the most sanguine if we choose to make our residence in an area of San Francisco, California colorfully known as the Castro."
"And you're quite sure the assets outweigh the erm, thingummies?"
"Liabilities? Yes, sir, the only inconvenience to yourself is the possibility that you may be occasionally mistaken for an ill-tempered diagnostician."
"Is this the same Doctor chappie who owns the whatsit?"
"No, sir. I shall explain later."

I also noticed that Jeeves, being omni-competent, rather quickly figured out what the TARDIS was, and how to operate it. :)

Date: 2008-11-26 09:48 am (UTC)Leave it to Jeeves to figure out the TARDIS and take the whole time travel thing without batting an eye.
Though now I picture the Doctor finding the thing later on and wondering who the hell cleaned. XD

Date: 2009-08-13 03:57 pm (UTC)The next season
Date: 2009-10-25 11:13 am (UTC)Love this! We need to see what happens to our intrepid pair in modern day San Fran, how they earn a living and their relief at being able to go home when the Doctor catches up with them. And what happens next as they go to the next exciting adventure offworld. Frankly, it would be better than some of the stuff we have been getting on TV. :-( I miss the classic series. Mind you, the long-awaited Dalek/Cybermen crossover was a resounding triumph.
I think with that level of technology the TARDIS would be self-cleaning, but LOL.

Date: 2011-07-12 06:59 pm (UTC)And kudos for your commenter suggesting that the Doctor would notice how much cleaner the TARDIS was :).
Now I can't stop wondering what they would live of, although I'm sure Jeeves would find a solution for that - possibly involving Wooster playing the piano and singing somewhere, but maybe even learning how to be a good drag queen? HL has such goodlooking legs!
And I can imagine Jeeves officially still being the valet, and everyone else assuming it's just a run-of-the-mill D/s relationship, little knowing who really dominates the other.

hehe about the D/s business.
