Doctor Who: The Things of Youth (Can't Go Home Again Remix)

Remix: The Things of Youth (Can't Go Home Again Remix) [Tenth Doctor & Rose, 100 Words, Rated G], by astrogirl2
The alien they're hunting isn't in the sweet shop, after all, but something else catches the Doctor's eye.
"Jelly babies!" he breathes. The colorful jumble of friendly shapes brings back memories, of sweetness and youth, of a hundred hopeful first meetings. And then of one in particular: They say the Evil One eats babies!
It was funny then, Leela calling him "Evil One." Somehow it isn't any more.
"What's important about jelly babies?" asks Rose.
"Nothing," he answers quietly. "Nothing, really."
He buys a bag anyway, unable to help himself. But, as he expected, they don't taste remotely the same.
