The Doctor narrowed his eyes.

Mere moments ago, he'd been with Dean and Phaedra and Annabelle, and they'd been on the verge of an important discovery regarding the world they were inhabiting. Now, for the life of him, The Doctor couldn't remember what that was. He knew Dean was still needed, that he'd found something everyone needed and still had it in his possession.

But now, as he looked about the TARDIS, without even opening her doors, he knew they were no longer on that world. You didn't travel through time or space with a Timelord and put one over on him.

No, you did not.

He opened the doors of the TARDIS tentatively, feeling exhausted. Outside, it looked like...

... Tombstone?

Well, maybe not. But something like. He remembered Tombstone, Arizona. Yes, he did. He'd quite liked Wyatt Earp.

His TARDIS was parked next to a general store, and beside her, a horse whined.

"Yes," he said to the horse. "Exactly."
