The Who Tales-
Names
Set during 'School Reunion'…
Marty sat down next to Rose with her own box of chips. "Mmm… these are good."
She noticed Rose glaring at the Doctor and Sarah Jane, who were laughing together.
The ginger-haired girl leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling. "Susan, Barbara, Vicki, Dodo, Polly, Victoria, Zoe, Liz, Jo… Sarah Jane over there."
"What?" Mickey asked.
"Oh, nothing… Leela, Romana, Nyssa, Tegan, Peri, Mel, Ace, Grace… Granted, Susan was his granddaughter."
Rose looked murderous. She had guessed quickly enough what Marty was on about. "Granddaughter!"
"Mind you," Marty's head lolled over and she looked at her. "That's just the girls."
"What?!"
Marty jumped out of her seat so fast she knocked it over. "I'll be in the loo."
Mickey laughed.

Some time later Rose approached Marty. "That day in the chip shop. You weren't just messing with me, were you?"
Marty shook her head. "I wouldn't do that to you, Rose. The Doctor and Mickey, yeah, but never you. No, there's been all sorts of people."
Rose looked distant. "I just… I thought I was special."
Marty leaned forward and looked her in the eye. "You are, Rose, and don't ever think you aren't. Because he loves those people, too, but the Doctor really loves you. I'm sure of that."
"Then why did you…?"
"You seemed so down right then. It was my way of letting you know that though there's been others, at least to me, you're special."
"Mmm… how d'you know all this, though?"
Marty smiled and tapped her head. "I don't. Not yet, anyway."
"But-"
"Adric, Harry, the Brigadier, Jamie, Jack, Ben…" Marty wandered away, still rattling off names with her hands in her pockets.

It got kinda touchy-feely there towards the end, didn't it? (shrugs) Oh well.
I did it! I named them all without looking!!
(What? A list? I don't have a list! That's ridiculous! Wh-why would I have a list? You're bloody delusional. R-really.)
