LOL! And now you've got me imagining the Tenth Doctor going around to *all* of his former companions to see if any of them will let him take away their children! Ooh, Tegan's gonna hit him with a shoe, I just know it . . .

[written_leaves]

She would! And that would only be the start - hey, maybe we should do a series on this. X-D

I suck at drabbles, but . . .

"Let go of my daughter this instant!"

The Doctor smiled at the angry, advancing woman. "Tegan!"

"I'm warning you . . ."

He squeezed the hand of the girl at his side. "Warning me? Why? What's wrong?"

"Let her go, I said!" Tegan bent down and took off one of her pumps.

The Doctor looked confused, then his face cleared. "Of course! I forgot -- I've regenerated. There's no need to worry, Tegan. It's just me."

"I know exactly who you are, Doctor! And you're not taking her with you!" Then she swung at him with the shoe.

The Doctor let go and ran.

Who's up next -- Jo? Liz? Nyssa? Or if you want to do Tegan again, I'd love to see your take on it.

Bewaaaare...

The mention of Liz makes me thing of lost_spook's preferred pairing.

"You never let me do anything without your permission!" the dark-haired teen snapped at her in a way that reminded her strangely of his father. "Just because you didn't travel with him..."

"No arguments," Liz said. "Your father was absolutely right." She addressed the Doctor more than the boy. "He's an excellent scientist, but careless - forgets his travel companions can't regenerate if they get shot."

"Now, that's not really fair..." the Doctor protested. "Wait. What? The Brigadier said that? About me? He's the one who was always pulling a gun..."

"Good day, Doctor." The door clicked shut in his face.

Priceless! dbskyler is right, too - this fanfic image of Ten desperately companion-hunting like this is v. amusing. (And he'd have a much better chance with Sarah than Polly on the warpath - doesn't he know anything? Heh. :-D)

[written_leaves]

Polly defending her children would be a fearsome thing indeed. :-D

[john_amend_all]

Teehee! The Doctor really should know better than to try companions who left him of their own accord the first chance they got. Or has he already been rebuffed by all the more likely choices?

[written_leaves]

Well, only a few had the possibility of producing double-companionated progeny - no doubt Barbara and Ian raked him over the coals as well. X-)

[john_amend_all]

I wouldn't put it past Seven, if he had that idea, to set up companion/companion marriages, nip forward twenty years, and harvest their children. But if Ten had that idea, I dread to imagine whom he'd try to pair off with whom. Probably making perfectly understandable mistakes like Harry/Sara and Steven/Victoria en route.

*laughs* And once again the comparison with Peter Pan is so apt. :)
