“Order Out!” Cooks yell this out at both fast food restaurants, Dairy Queen and Sonic. Both restaurants share many similarities and differences. I have worked at both restaurants and know what makes each one unique, yet the same. Sonic and Dairy Queen are different no matter what others think. We obviously go to both of these establishments to consume food. Therefore making that one similarity they share.

"Where are we off to this time, Doctor?" Clara said, her eyes lighting up as soon as she saw the Time Lord rushing madly around the console of the TARDIS. It was such a familiar sight, his brown flop of hair bopping around as he piloted the time machine wearning a bowtie, but it never failed to put pure excitement into her heart. "Artang, Clara!" the Doctor said, giving a flourish as he pushed a lever over. "The wonderful planet of Artang. You're going to love it, I can just tell." "I'm sure I will
