here]Donna whisked into the salon and breathed in a deep scent of all the things she knew would make her happy for at least the next hour or five. The little coupons said that she would only be allowed a manicure at this place, but if she couldn't talk her way into more than just that here, there was a facial or massage to be had elsewhere.

"Once. Well... Did I?" he mused aloud, looking up towards the ceiling as he tried to remember. Getting a manicure wasn't exactly on his usual to-do list when he arrived on a planet, especially when there were important things to do, like finding the TARDIS.

As for Donna's to-do list, pampering was pretty high up there. Especially with the lack of a shower either yesterday or today.

He stared at Donna. "There's more important things to do," he insisted. "The TARDIS could be around somewhere. You remember the TARDIS, don't you? Big blue box?"

Bitter? No, not Donna Noble. Never.
"And besides that, which is, by the way, your fault, there are how many of those doctors out there?" She straightened, "And you, you don't have any of your stuff do you? No psychic paper or screwdriver? Just far you think we'll get on that unbeaten path, really? Don't suppose you know Kung-Fu?"

This had to be the place. Pearl's Beauty Salon. Roland smiled as he held the door open for Argilla, then followed her in. ...there were two other individuals in there already, very obviously having a disagreement, but Roland wouldn't let that dampen his mood.
If anything, he was a bit grateful. When Argilla got upset, people tended to get eaten. Now, all he had to do was wait for the first available person to get to him, and all would be well. Well, no, first person to Argilla. Roland wasn't one for a manicure, himself.

She looked back at Roland uncertainly. "So uh... what do I do?"

At the question, he smiled encouragingly and said, "Head to the counter and show them your coupon. They should take care of the rest from there."

Stepping inside, Anise glanced around the shop and couldn't help but giggle. "Wow! It looks like it's all couples in here. I didn't know a place like this could be used as a dating spot!" She shot a playful grin at her own 'date.'
While waiting for service, the girl let her eyes wander to the signs and products on display, though she wasn't sure what to make of most of them. The prices were especially beyond her understanding. What was '$25' in gald? It sounded cheap, but who knew how Earth currency worked?

At least it meant that there weren't as many women in here as he had been expecting - though adding the people who ran the place obviously made it so that the men were outnumbered. Guy stayed near the door as he had planned, though he also got distracted by looking around, if only to keep his mind off of things.
"So," he said, glancing down at Anise, "what color do you want to get?" He pointed out a display with different types of nail polish to choose from.

But when Anise neared the display Guy had pointed out to her, she realized that wasn't quite an answer in itself. There were tons of shades of pink! Some dark, some light, some reddish, some purplish... It was kind of impressive, for a tiny shop in a tiny town.
"Oh, wow! They really have a lot, don't they? But I think the best would have to be..." she traced her finger along the row of pink polishes, hesitating as though reconsidering the decision at the very last moment, then stopped with it pointed at a cherry pink color. "...this! Don't you think?" She didn't expect Guy to have any strong opinions regarding shades of pink, but maybe he'd humor her a bit.
