‘ I want to.’

‘Well, then, let’s get on with it.’

They bought some corned beef and ham at the meat counter and moved on to the bread aisle. Although this was less than ten years before the time she had last left ‘her’

Earth with the Doctor, she was amazed at the lack of choice available and had to bite her lip to keep from saying so.

There was no vegetarian section, very few speciality or ethnic foods, no vegetables that couldn’t be grown in the British Isles, no New World wines, and only a tiny amount of brown bread amongst the loaves of Nimble and Slimcea and Mother’s Pride.

Tegan chose some crusty white and Andy grabbed a packet of jam tarts. They were at the checkout, a thin-faced girl with freckles and lank red hair grumpily running their purchases through, when Andy groaned and slumped forward as if he was about to be sick.

Everyone nearby stopped what they were doing and stared as he stumbled backwards, clutched at the edge of the checkout, missed, and thumped gracelessly down on to his backside. Some people tittered, others stared at him aggressively, as if they thought that by drawing attention to himself he was challenging them in some way. The checkout girl barely suppressed a snigger as she raised herself to peer over the end of the checkout desk; it was clearly the most fun she’d had all day. Tegan would have bitten her head off if she hadn’t been both discomfited by the all-pervasive atmosphere of hostility and concerned for Andy. She crouched down and placed a supporting hand on Andy’s back.

‘Are you all right?’ she asked for the second time in the past ten minutes.

Andy looked at her, but seemed to be having trouble focusing. ‘Feel so weird,’ he said muzzily. ‘Dizzy and sick.’

Behind the checkout a narrow aisle led to the exit, plastic chairs for pensioners and the footsore lined up along the wall. ‘Come on,’ said Tegan, ‘let’s get you on to one of these.’

With Andy helping as much as he could, she hauled him to his feet and dumped him on one of the chairs.
