Red Head
The bottle of red hair dye mocked him from the window of the store.
When he walked into the TARDIS's kitchen, Donna quite literally fell out of her chair laughing. It was a good five minutes before, gasping for breath, she could manage words.
"Oh. My. God!"
The Doctor looked crestfallen. "Nine hundred years and I've never been ginger," he tried to explain.
Donna picked herself up off the floor and gave her pitiful spaceman a big hug. "And you're still not, dumbo. Did you look at the results?"
"Erm... I wanted to show you..." he trailed off.
She fished about in her purse "And I suppose you just read the label on the box and bought it." She took out a small mirror and held it up.
"Aren't gingers called red heads in America?" The Doctor leaned in to look at himself in the compact. He pulled back startled at the sight of himself. "I'm..."
"Uh huh. RED headed." She reached out and scruffled her fingers through the Doctor's shocking red hair.
"Oh well," he mumbled a little sadly. "I'll go wash it out."
Donna felt the texture of the Doctor's hair. "Erm... no. That was a permanent dye you used. So either we wait for it to grow out, shave your head..."
The Doctor looked horrified at the thought.
Donna laughed again. "Didn't think so. God you're vain for a spaceman."
"Donna..." he chided, afraid she'd fall into another laughing fit.
"All right. Come on. We can bleach that color out and dye over it." She grabbed his hand and headed for the TARDIS door.
"No! I'm not going out looking like this."
"Oh okay. I'll pop 'round to the beauty supply and pick up things." She cocked her head to the side and looked at him. "You still want to be ginger?" she asked.
"I think I'd just like to go back to normal if you could do that," he said sheepishly embarrassed at the vanity that had led him to wind up with hair the color of a post box.
"Good." She grabbed her purse and headed for the door. But not before she quickly spun around and snapped a picture with her camera phone. Laughing, she darted out the door before the Doctor could catch her, knowing she'd be safe outside. She popped open the phone and took out her chip. No way was she letting him sonic that away. That was one for the memories, it was. Giggling she made her way to the store.
An hour later the Doctor had his normal hair color (well, almost) again. Glowering, he waved his sonic screwdriver over Donna's phone to erase that picture. The next morning, taped all over the console room walls, were pictures of the Doctor with red hair. He didn't know how she'd done it, but he couldn't help laugh at himself. It was easier now that he didn't look like that.
Donna heard him and came into the room. She held up the tiny chip. "For a spaceman, you're thick sometimes," she said grinning.
The Doctor laughed. "All right, Earthgirl. I just don't want to see that posted all over the internet! Donna, oh no you didn't!"
