[So, basically, the Doctor is sitting under a tree in a nice patch of blue grass, writing away in a notepad. He frowns as he reads it over before just scribbling it all out, tearing the paper up. The paper, luckily for him, degrades into nothing by the time it reaches the ground. He keeps writing, ever hopeful, pausing as if mulling over his words

Blue grass.

Somewhere nice, are you? [there is some bitterness to her voice]

[salvagestime]

[He hesitates, looking up at her.]

Not really. I don't like it here at all, ever since this nasty encounter with the Cybermen here a rather long time ago. I can still hear them walking every time I come here. Remember the screams...

[Another pause and he's a bit relived.] Right, so, anyway, how are you, Martha?

[imnot_hisgirl]

Busy saving the Earth. It's what I do. But you, you travel. You see things, and then you don't come back!

[salvagestime]

I usually can't just come back! Not with how I leave things! If I came back, it might have to actually face what happened there. It makes running a bit difficult.

[He really wants to make this paper work. Now.]

[imnot_hisgirl]

What---what are you doing?

[she'll be reaching over and trying to snatch it away now]

[He sighs and shows her the pad. Written on it are three statements.

"TARDIS stands for 'Time and Relative Dimensions in Space."

"Bananas are an excellent source of potassium."

"The Beatles are overrated."]

[imnot_hisgirl]

[irritated, because this is ridiculous] Not a fan of the Beatles?

[salvagestime]

They're not bad, really, but not as great as everyone says.

[imnot_hisgirl]

Why, because they're human?

[salvagestime]

No, because there were a few other bands around that time that were just as good. Better, even.

[He sighs and slumps back.]

I can't lie, Martha.

[imnot_hisgirl]

That's a change. All you've ever done to me is lie.

[salvagestime]

Now that isn't true. And see? I said it, so it can't be a lie. I can't even do half-truths.
