Why this must be read:

The Fifth Doctor makes the mistake of landing his TARDIS without a parking permit and gets himself arrested for his trouble. It's up to companion Nyssa to obtain the permit that will free the Doctor, where she discovers that red tape is worse than monsters everytime.

This charming fic made me laugh like a drain the first time I read it, and still makes me smile every time I re-read.


When she had found out the amount of the fine, she was absolutely positive that obtaining the permit would be far, far easier than trying to mortgage the entire planet it would take to come up with that kind of capital.

Two days more, making it five now by the galactic standard measure, and she wondered where she could find a planet she could conquer and sell. It went wildly against her own gentle nature, but the thoughts came unbidden anyway. Then she looked at the long paper number printout in her hand, and the ticker on the wall, and whimpered.
