Hanging Around

-----------------------------

"Jamie?" called Victoria Waterfield's voice and Jamie looked up.

'No! Nae now!' thought Jamie.

"Jamie, where are you?"

'Please, dinnae let her see me like this!'

Landing on the planet, Vannalliaz, Jamie had decided to take a walk and ended up caught in a snare. Hanging upside, he tried to get himself free but only made himself dizzy from spinning around on the rope tied to his ankles.

"James Robert McCrimmon, you better not be hiding somewhere so you can jump out and scare me!"

'Och, I really wish I was.'

Looking at the bushes, Jamie silently prayed when the bushes parted and Victoria walked into the glade.

"Ja…Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" shouted Victoria, covering her eyes.

"Victoria, why are you…?" asked the Doctor, walking into the glade and his eyes went wide. "Oh, my giddy aunt, how did that happen?!"

"Um, well, I seem tae have gotten caught in some sort of trap. Can you PLEASE get me down!?" asked Jamie, his face redder now that he was blushing. Nodding, the Doctor walked to where the snare was tied to the tree and, with help from Victoria, gently lowered Jamie to the ground. Victoria had found his dirk on the ground under him as he used it to cut the snare, tossing it to one side. Standing up, they walked out of the glade and the Doctor leaned his head towards Jamie.

"Now do you understand the importance of underpants?" whispered the Doctor.

"Aye, I do," said Jamie, looking back at Victoria. "And, believe me, this is one time I'm glad I wore them!"
