"David John McDonald, where in the hell do you think you're going?!"
He rolled his eyes as he replied curtly, "Out. And don't call me that".
"Ohhhh right. Want me to call you Doctor then? Are you gonna fly off in your tardis and walk out on your family? On me?"
To make his point, he didn't answer as he walked out the front door.
It was her first night in London. She was spending it in a pub having a grand time with England's younger drinking age. 'Why shouldn't I?', she thought. She had spent three long years saving up for this and she'd be damned if she wasn't going to enjoy it.
She got the idea the summer before her senior year. She had already been working, saving up for college, but she knew in the back of her mind she needed to do something first. She worked harder in school to guarantee she could get a scholarship, and used the money she earned to save for a trip to England. She loved everything about Britain: it's deep history, it's landscape, it's television. 'Its actors...', she thought with a mental image of David Tennant.
That part was a stretch, but she remained hopeful that she might get a glimpse of him walking down the street. 'That'll be the day', she thought with a snort.
He was relieved when he finally got to the pub. His fight with his wife and the unpleasant cabby left him irritated and tired. David was about to sit down and drink away his problems when he heard a girl across the bar scream.
"Shit", he mumbled.
The girl was a small brunette who had her hands out trying to stop the brute of a man in front of her. David rushed over and tapped him on the shoulder just as he was pulling her close to him.
"Leave it, mate. She's mine." He practically growled. He didn't even bother turning around, leaving his large, scarred hands around her waist.
David wasn't about to let some poor girl put up with that though. He pulled him back, and when the man turned around, decked him in the jaw. His hand throbbed, but he angled himself in front of the girl while the man rubber his jaw and winced.
"Listen, 'mate'. You're gonna leave now, and if you give this lady a problem ever again, I'll find you. Get it?"
He grumbled something unintelligible and stared the taller but thinner man before storming out.
At that point David turned towards the frightened girl and held out a hand.
"I'm David Tennant. And you are?"
He didn't get his answer. She took one look at him with wide eyes and fainted.
