Hey all, the point of this is just to have some stories from the adventures of Peri Brown, faithful companion for the Fifth and Sixth Doctors. These are in no particular order and they will jump from one point to another in her timeline with no regard to actual chronology (just like a certain Time Lord we all know and love). I will also not be strictly following canon, so who knows what will happen.
Let's have some fun.
Oh, and by the way, I do not, nor have I ever, nor probably will ever, own Doctor Who or the characters herein. They are the property of the BBC and I am not making any money off of this silly little adventure. There is no point in blackmailing me, I have nothing left (sorry, couldn't resist the quote). I have no money, don't bother suing.

Peri sat in the shower, hugging her knees to her chest. Hot water ran over her body. Cold tears ran down her face.
The twenty-two year old wanted the pain to go away. She wished the water could wash it down the drain along with the blood.
Peri could still hear the screaming of her best friend. Not for the first (or last) time, Peri wished that she had driven Tonya and Jack home. She could not have stopped the drunk driver from slamming into the driver's side of the car, but Tonya would not have been the one killed.
Part of her wondered what logic she was using. She and Tonya live on opposite sides of town. Both were sober. And Tonya's brother Jack annoyed Peri to no end, especially when he was drunk.
Peri wouldn't even know about the accident if she had not realized that she had Tonya's house keys in her purse. She had turned her car around and come upon the scene before the cops had even shown up.
Peri had pulled Tonya out of the wreck. She had cradled her friend. A few cops had to wrestle Peri off of Tonya so the paramedics could rush her to the hospital.
She had been sitting numbly in the police car's back seat, being driven home, when the news came over the radio that Tonya had died en route to the hospital. The cop needed her step-dad and their neighbor to get her out of the car and into the house. She was hysterical.
Peri had no idea how long she had been in the shower but she had cried herself dry and hoarse.
She turned off the water.
A few weeks later, she jumped at the chance to go with Harold to Lanzarote.
