Doctor POV
The fight had been hard, but in the end we had won. Earth was saved again. My latest companion had gone home to celebrate. She had invited me to come, but I declined. I didn't want her to worry about what was going to happen to me soon.
There wasn't a mark on me, but I had been poisoned. This particular poison didn't have any cure that I knew of, but it would be alright. Hopefully, I still had enough strength to make it to the TARDIS before the regeneration started.
I concentrated what was left of this form's energy into walking into the beautiful TARDIS. It was a stretch, but I made it. I felt the energy start coursing through me and I gave way to my new form. A minute or so later I had a new perspective.
I felt strangely giddy about life. I did my quick checklist before I began working on anything else.
Two legs…check
Two feet… check
Two arms… check
Two hands…check
Ten fingers/ten toes...check
Face…. good
Everything seems in order-wait- hair…. I felt my head. I seemed to have short curly hair. One strand was long enough to bring around to my eyes.
"Yes!" I exclaimed upon seeing that my hair was a lovely shade of red. "I'm finally a ginger!"
I looked into a mirror to be sure that my eyes hadn't deceived me. The person looking back at me had green eyes and a mass of curly red hair. I started dancing with glee. Jolliness was apparently a large part of my personality now.
I still couldn't believe that I was finally a ginger! I looked at the TARDIS controls and said, "Hey! I'm finally as sexy as you!"
A/n Sorry I just had to add that ending. It was too good to pass up. Yes this is very short, and I'm not adding more to it because that would involve an OC or description of the battle. I'm not good at writing action scenes and I know what people think of OC's.
