Time, Love and TARDIS (short story)

 was a Brief Encounter short story published in DWM 189.

Summary
While the Doctor is talking with a Time Lord, his TARDIS and a replacement TARDIS have a telepathic conversation about whether Time Lords love their TARDISes. The Doctor's TARDIS believes her master loves her, but the replacement TARDIS isn't so sure. However, although the Doctor is offered the replacement TARDIS, he decides to keep his own TARDIS – apparently confirming what she has believed.

Characters

 * The Doctor's TARDIS
 * The replacement TARDIS
 * The Doctor (incarnation unspecified — possibly seventh?)
 * An unnamed Time Lord

Continuity

 * As the incarnation of the Doctor is never specified, it is impossible to tell between which adventures the story takes place. However, as the story was published in DWM 189, which bears the cover date of 5 August 1992, there is no reason not to believe that this is the Seventh Doctor. (The Doctor Who Reference Guide also places the story during the Seventh Doctor's era.)
