Sally
Title: Magpie Augury: Sally
Author: rustydog
Characters: Gwen
Rating: G
Challenge: 100 Drabble Challenge; life before Torchwood
Notes: no spoilers; Three for a girl...
Six-year-old Gwen Cooper had a doll named Sally. Gwen was very attached to Sally and was shocked to learn, from a charity program, that not every little girl had a doll. Urgent action was required.
The three pounds in Gwen's piggy bank started a fund which grew quickly: relatives, neighbours, shop assistants and the milkman were powerless against a precocious six-year-old on a mission, particularly a child with such large eyes. In the end, seventy dolls were purchased for a children's charity.
Sally, Gwen announced, was pleased. Lesson learned: love and determination could get her everywhere.
