A/N - It was only a matter of time until I tried out writing a Doctor Who fic. It's my first, so please be kind. A huge thanks to Werepuppy Black, without whom this wouldn't exist, as I most likely would have given up on it before starting it.
"I had rather thought, Doctor, that you would have found some other way than blowing up my planet!" The Doctor flinched.
"I really thought we'd gotten past that."
"Forgive me," Romana said, eyes narrowing ever so slightly, "for not forgetting quite so easily."
"I suppose I can forgive you. I never could hold a grudge," he winked, grinning when he saw the corner of Romana's mouth twitch.

"You can tell you're getting older."
"Oh?"
"Your regenerations are getting younger."
"It's not like I get to choose them," he laughed. "My last regeneration would've hated this one." He paused. "And the one before that would've hated us both. Anyway," he raised his eyebrows at her. "What about you? You're looking rather posh. And beautiful…" he grinned. "Probably."

"Her name was Rose," he told her. "She was from… some part of London."
"You haven't lost your love for humans then?" He grinned.
"Course not. Besides, I had to take her with me really. There was an incident with some live mannequins. Long story short, I blew up where she worked."
"Which still isn't quite the same as blowing up someone's home planet."
"How many times do I have to apologise!"

"We had fun most of the time. Could've done without her mother tagging along though."
"Her mother?" Romana frowned. "Just how old was this girl, Doctor?"
"Nineteen when I first met her." She blinked.
"You took a child to the end of the world?"
"She wasn't a child…"
"Near enough."

"Enough about me, we've been talking about me non-stop since you got here."
"Isn't that how it always is?" Romana smiled.
"Hey, not fair. I let other people talk."
"So they can ask questions about you."
"Isn't that enough?"

"What are you up to now?"
"Eleven, you?"
"Four." The Doctor blinked repeatedly.
"Four?"
"I'm careful."
"So am I!"
"Didn't you fall off of a roof once?"
"No." He said quickly, then smiled. "Maybe. It's entirely possible."

"You stickin' around this time?" Romana looked behind her and failed to stifle a giggle as she took in the Doctor's appearance. With his sleep-filled eyes and extremely messy hair, he looked… well… positively adorable. The sheet draped across his legs didn't help matters.
"You know…" she paused, smiling. "I just might."
