It's like she vanished off of the planet? Yes, I'd say that about sums it up! I am so glad that Carlisle is recognizing that he needs someone else to bounce ideas off of, and that Ian might be just the right one to confide in and help. He's going to need all the help he can get when the Doctor finally comes calling, isn't he?

Loved that reference about eliminating the impossible! Classic detective.... and apparently, one of Spock's ancestors said the same thing!

Peter was so sweet, asking after her mother and offering to remedy some of the things her mom was grousing about. Good save on his part, though, with specifying the tea and wanting to meet mom with her.

And then they move on to flirting, a Donna Noble slap, and ... that came out of nowhere, didn't it? I can't imagine he'd apologize!

Peter's standoff-ish habits aren't going to be practical for much longer. Enter into one relationship and the web of human connections begins to grow. I think he's tired of being a bit of a loner, anyway, but old habits are hard to break. And I'm speaking from experience, here. Ian is a good start, I think, and Peter's going to be thankful that he confided in him, and soon.

And I had forgotten about the Spock connection! I hadn't thought of that in years!

As for Donna's seemingly unprovoked attack? Well, it's Peter's fault he got smacked- he shouldn't have said 'restraint' and reminded her of it. Maybe I need another sentence in there to clarify why Donna unleashed heck on his arm...

Thanks for the continued reading and for taking the time for the continued commenting.

The Spock connection is the first thing that actually came to mind. I think he was referring perhaps to a human ancestor... and that led me to the original connection! Weird how that one worked.

I did figure out the connection between restraint and tied down, but it still seems like it came out of nowhere, more like it was a sudden shift in the mood, actually, and that's fine. That's the way it should be. They do use those terms a lot, don't they: restraint, tied down, shackled, etc.

Oh, I hope the Doctor shows some restraint when he shows up. He needs to use that great big Time Lord mind before doing something he will regret!

Two posts. I love it! :DDDD

Good that he's finally making connections. They will come in handy once UNIT and the Doctor start nosing in. Which has me nervous, I must say.

And they are too sweet together. Funny and cute and sweet and thoughtful. :D

Sorry for nothing longer, but I'm trying to complete some writing for NaNo today, and I only have about 2.5 hours before the clock resets for tomorrow. But thank you for the treat. :D

I couldn't help it! I write too much in one part to make one post! I tried, honest! It's scary when I look at the lengths of my posts back in April when this got started and compare it to now. This is gonna be a novel by the time I finish it, and I still can't believe I'm actually writing anything.

Hope your NaNo writing is going well and thank you for taking the time to read what I post, especially when you're under that pressure. May your word count be ever in your favor.

I'm just writing it down to get it out of my system. Honest.
That's what your muse wants you to think! They'll come back and cackle at you in the night and make you write the most amazing, odd things. Ask me about mine. No, wait, actually, maybe don't? (Gutter chat gave me a lot of them. :p )

LOL my beans nearly made a reapparance at the reference his DS finally gets!

My eyes skipped ahead to the "It's not you. It's her." and I had a bit of a moment of 'whaaat whooo?' because out of context (also because of the similarity to the 'it's not you, it's me' cliche), but all set now. :D

Oooh tantalizing ending... and I have to wait until I've managed to click a button to find out!
