Right... Donna did have a dog, didn't she, before Lance convinced her to get rid of it? That was an excellent answer! Dogs are extremely trainable, and have many uses (not to mention that they love unconditionally). Cats are useful for mousing. Throughout, she's really thinking about the practicalities. Of course, being the last one to answer each question, one might argue she has the most chance to think about her answer and see what response the others' answers get. Might be good to have her get the first answer to really showcase how thoughtful and mature she is

It's probably because I have a headache right now, but I wouldn't mind if River killed Rose, or vice versa right now.

I think Rose and River have both eliminated themselves by now with their answers. I loved it when the Doctor asked Jack just how old Rose was. I think the Doctor is going to do everything he can to avoid meeting River again in the future.

I love Ten's hair! I wish there was someway for him to find out what his hair is doing.

I agree with Zeus and Hera. Rose and River are making me sick with their answers to. I'd be happy thinking that they're just characters in a TV show, except I had a neighbor who was like Rose.

Rose's friend isn't going to be happy with her if the police or her employer is watching the show.

Yes, but the Doctor would feel horribly guilty for it, as he always does. So it's best to avoid outright murder!

I liked that he asked, too. Rose is too young and immature for him, River is too smug in her attitudes, not to mention her own thieving ways. Right, Rose's friend isn't going to be very happy with her, especially since she publicly revealed her name.

I'd say it's between Martha and Donna. Both are lovely in their own right, and show a level of maturity.

So, even though, chronologically, they are all too young for the Doctor, I think Martha and maybe even more so, Donna, would be more mentally similar in age. Donna's main goal seems to be to try to make a difference with what skills she has. Temping, believe it or not, is the ideal preparation for the kind of life the Doctor leads. Both go into a situation cold, must get the job done quickly and efficiently, then move on to the next one. You have to think fast!

Ten's hair is a character in its own right!

I agree that outright murder would be a bad thing. However, a cat fight would be fun to read about

Two plot bunnies are better then no plot bunnies! I'd love to read what you come up with for them.

I'm really looking forward to Ten discovering what his hair is doing!

I love all of your stories. I read them over and over again. Especially when I don't feel good. So it looks like it's time to start reading them again.

Actually, three. Yikes. :)

It'll be up later tonight. I set it to post automatically to save myself time later on.

Aw, thanks! :D

A badger? Really? The Doctor has a pet badger? And just how does he keep it from getting in everywhere it's not supposed to? :D

Dogs are absolutely wonderful, I have four. And each and every one of them is a bundle of love on four feet just waiting to ambush with assault kisses *giggle*

The hair strikes again! I wonder if anyone in the audience is noticing? And I can't remember...is it lifting a little for Martha's answers too? Cos it should. Just a teensy bit.

And odd note I noticed when I was watching some of S2 for another story. The hair is flat. Pretty much constantly flat. It doesn't become mood hair until after he's had the Donna kick in the bum to find someone. So while the Doctor may have thought he was in love with Rose, his hair knew better ;D

[tkel_paris]

Yes, but I suspect it's either on Gallifrey or kept hidden away in the TARDIS. Hmm... if Rose met the Badger and demanded he get rid of it, I could see him getting rid of her instead.

Ah, yes. I've been warned to not get one because of my allergies, but I love them. And I've read that kids raised around dogs won't have as many allergies. So... one day. :D

I bet they are. And giggling over it. :P And yes, it is.

Exactly. And it was mostly flat with Martha, wasn't it? It went crazy before he met Donna in PiC, which makes me wonder if his hair is more in tune with his time senses than he is. :P

[cassikat]

I vote for hidden away on the TARDIS...the Doctor doesn't seem like the sort who'd abandon a pet. I'm just trying NOT to imagine Rose's reaction to the Badger - imagine howling laughter making people think there's a hyena in the library *L*

Bad allergies to pet dander, huh? *hug*

Good. Cos Martha deserved a notice from the Hair... I almost think it's as much a symbiotic entity as the TARDIS in this story *giggle*

*points at icon* Horrible angle, but it's not flat hair. But definitely not the gravity-defying mop it became in S4 unless he was doing it himself with ruffling etc.

[tkel_paris]

Well, at home where he doesn't have to worry about him/her not getting enough attention was my thinking. *giggles* Ooh, I might have to use that! :DDDDDD

Somewhat. I can handle it better now, and I think determination will help.

You'll definitely like one of my upcoming works. I'm going to enjoy messing around with that one. :DDDDDDD

True. Which makes me argue that Rose's presence was proof to the hair that the Moment was meddling. And yes, the Hair leaves us with plenty to joke about. :DDDDDD
