One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a Wedding
{Alternate Verse}
"Gran," Santiago asked hesitantly, "do you ever regret it? Leaving the Doctor, I mean."
Jo Jones nee Grant turned to her grandson in shock. "Darling, how can you even ask that? I left him to marry your grandfather. If I hadn't…well, you wouldn't be here."
"I know. It's just…seeing other worlds, and outer space, and all those different aliens… Earth must seem so small after all that."
"Not at all. There's so many countries to explore, and so many adventures to be had. I think that's the single most important thing that my time with the Doctor taught me - that there are always new adventures, and they sneak up on you when you least expect them."
"I never expected that I'd get to meet him, or ride in the TARDIS," Santiago admitted.
"Neither did I, to tell the truth," Jo replied, ruffling her grandson's hair affectionately, "but I'm so glad you did. Even if he doesn't look at all like he did back in my day - he was so dashing back then, all velvet and ruffles."
Santiago blanched a bit at that mental image. The bowtie and tweed were enough of a fashion statement, as far as he was concerned. Still, a machine that could travel through time and space trumped any dubious clothing choices.
"Do you think I'll ever see him again?"
Jo pursed her lips thoughtfully. "Before today, I would have said 'no.' Now, who knows? Anything at all is possible." She jumped and clutched Santiago's arm as the voice of the hovercraft's pilot sounded over the PA. "Did he just say 'Dalek?'"
"No, Gran," Santiago replied patiently. "He said 'Darlig.'"
"Whatever for?"
"It's where we're landing, just outside of Bergen. Darlig Ulv Stranden. It means Bad Wolf Bay."
"What a very curious name." Holding tight to her grandson's hand,. Jo set her eyes firmly on the future, and their next adventure.

OK, so I cheated. I don't think I've ever seen any of the Third Doctor's adventures, so the only way for a story concerning him to happen is through the eyes of a companion. This takes place following the events of The Sarah Jane Adventures episode The Death of the Doctor.
