"Frankie... come look in here... it's like bigger on the inside
than the outside... pretty wild hallucination."

"Well, it is a sort of optical illusion," the Doctor said.
"Have either of you two seen an Amazing Object around here?"

"Just jungle," I told the hallucination.

"Hmmm. I guess I'll have to walk on foot. Better find it
before the rest of them get here. Can either of you two act as a
guide for me?"

I opened my mouth to ask the hallucination why he was so
realistic when I heard a rapidly fading scream. Well, whatever
the word is for something fading in reverse. Getting closer,
either way.

"Oh dear," the Doctor said. "Seems I didn't arrive early
enough."

Before I could ask (seems I'm being interrupted a lot here),
a large glass phone booth slammed into the jungle floor, odd
antennae on top folding up and small sparks of electricity
grounding themselves.

"Can someone explain why I'm seeing this? You seeing it
too, Frankie?"

"I'm seeing it, yeah. Large phone booth, big red TELEPHONE
on top?"

"Same here. Consensual hallucination? Weird! This
stuff'll sell big!"

The phone booth door slid open, and two gangly youths
stepped out.

"I hate that part," the one with black hair said. "Hey, Doc
dude!"

"Hello, boys," the Doctor said, rolling his eyes.

"Seen an Amazing whatsis around here?" the other house ape
asked, looking around. "We're supposed to do one of those
'what'll the future be like' report thingys, and, like, figured
we'd skip ahead and see ourselves--"

"Sorry boys, but the Object doesn't really belong here," the
Doctor said. "I have to bring it back to its normal time."
