A/N: A friend of mine made a 'Fandom February' Calendar with one word prompts. The first was 'Run'. I decided to do a short Five/Turlough fic for it. (There are not enough Five/Turlough fics on here.)
There was one thing Turlough was never able to understand about the Doctor. No matter were they went, where they went, or when they went: They always ended up running. Running here, running there, running everywhere except back to the safe TARDIS.
Turlough loved the Doctor. Really, he did. But this wonko running all the time was driving Turlough nuts.
"Doctor?"
"Yes, Turlough?"
"You don't suppose we can land somewhere and not end up running places?"
The Doctor paused.
"Well, I did start this off by running away from my home planet, so maybe it's fitting that I'm running everywhere I go."
"You didn't answer the question."
"I don't answer questions. Too much bother."
Apparently, the universe hated Turlough.
