That is scary! He's supposed to be so careful with his TL DNA, but it seems like he's spreading it around.... (I couldn't believe it when he left Jenny on Messaline; live or not, that's his DNA, and he didn't want anyone to have access to it. That's why he ended up collecting back his hand when he finally found it.)

Well, the Doctor surely "danced"... in more ways than he thought! *smirks*

He really was rather careless there. Maybe he thinks his DNA will be too diluted in the plants to be retrievable or usable for any nefarious purposes.

He did 'dance' without realising it, lol! Perhaps he'll listen to Clara in future!

Thank you!

I'm just wondering what his excuse with leaving Jenny behind was..... He's so smart, supposedly the cleverest one in the room, and he doesn't think to take Jenny with him? Even grief stricken, he should remember that his DNA is very dangerous. Oh, and come to think of it, he introduced his DNA into a parallel world when he sent Ten II there with Rose. Hmm... he is careless on more than one occasion.

Yes, he should be listening to his companions more often; that's what they are there for!

Still, little flower!Doctors... it is kind of amusing!

[badly_knitted]

He might have fathered a whole posy! ;)

Yes, for being the 'last of his kind', he really is being careless with his DNA. Sometimes I wonder if it's the Doctor's DNA scattered throughout space and time which crates the Time Lords in the first place. That would be an interesting little paradox!

My mind is so attuned to Dark that I just automatically expected this to go in an entirely different direction, lol!

That was fun...but I agree with the Doctor's concern about what sort of a hybrid this will bring about...

[badly_knitted]

He might have to go back and find out ;)

I'm thinking of using my wild car square on my bingo card for a standalone sequel to this. The Mobile/Carivourous plants (I think that was it) prompt would work. One of my friends got that one and I was envious.

Thank you!

Oh, that would be perfect for a carnivorous plants fill! :D I still have to figure out what to do with my own wild card; too many choices!

You're welcome! :D

[badly_knitted]

Well, it's less the carnivorous part I'm interested in, because they don't eat people, more the mobile plant part.

The Doctor didn't realise dance meant "dance". Poor flower.:(

[badly_knitted]

The flower was happy, she liked the dance and her children will be strong because of it. The Doctor should be more careful, lol! I hope his contribution will make pretty flowers ;)

Thank you!

It just reminded me that some species can have limited life spans.

Like when bees die after they sting somone.

The Doctor should have done a scan. He has the tendency to get distracted by something he finds pretty

Please excuse my rambling.

[badly_knitted]

Ramble away!

The flowers probably have a good life span but to breed they must die. They probably put off breeding as long as thy can.

Oh Crap is that where the plan from Little Shop Of Horrors came from LOL

great fic

[badly_knitted]

LOL! No, I think Audrey was a different species of sentient plant. these are very gentle, but they breed slowly among themselves, an infusion of new genetic material occasionally helps the species to survive and flourish.

Thank you!

[dm12]

That's just too funny!

[black59]

disturbing and LOL

[badly_knitted]

I agree. Thank you.
