"Where's that bloody screwdriver?" The Doctor muttered, trying to find his sonic screwdriver. Suddenly he realized where it had to be. "Kara," he sighed, thinking about how she had managed to take it from him. "She's a pick-pocket?" The irate Doctor headed out of the ... Telephone booth, and back towards Kara's house.
"Fancy seeing you here again. I thought you were going somewhere," Kara said as she opened the door.
"I seem to have lost something," The Doctor said carefully to her.
"You can come in and take a look around if you want, but I can help you if you tell me what it was,"
"It's a cylindrical object with a little light on the end, have you seen it?" The Doctor asked, trying to remain calm.
"Maybe," Kara smiled mischievously.
"Maybe? What do you mean, maybe?"
"Come inside," Kara said smiling. "You can look around for it if you want"
"I think I will, thank you," he said, stepping slightly to one side.
"You might just," Kara began, her eyes widening and then she continued forcefully and commanding in tone. "Want to turn around!" The Doctor turned, just in time to see a figure jump at him. He threw himself to one side as Kara yelled out, "DUCK!" The Doctor dropped down to the floor just in time as a flume of flame flared out over him, right where he had been standing only moments before. The Doctor could do nothing but stare as his attacker went up in flames, burning as if he was made of wood, and suddenly, the attacker was gone, burned away.
"You should be a little bit more careful, if it wasn't for me, you'd be dead," Kara said solemnly. "So, who's your friend, rather, who WAS your friend, Doctor?"
"Looks like he was made of wood," the Doctor replied glibly.
"Yes," Kara said, exasperated, 'THAT would be why I used a flamethrower," Kara smiled weakly, holding it up for the Doctor to see. "Really, you seem to just be trouble. Come in and shut the door," she demanded.
"What are you doing?" he yelled as Kara scooped some of the ashes of the Doctor's attacker into a bag.
"Thinking ahead," Kara smiled. "Shall we go to the sofa?" she asked, growing serious again.
"I guess," the Doctor said, shaking his head slightly to get rid of the eerie feeling that Kara was giving him.
"You hungry?"
"Nope"
"Thirsty?"
"Nope"
"Okay then, you came here for something, Doctor, what was it again, in all the commotion I forgot," she spoke carefully, testing the Doctor, and he knew that she was testing him.
"Yes, I did come here for a reason," he started.
"Yes," Kara rolled her eyes, "We established that much. WHAT are you looking for, Doctor?"
"It's a..." the Doctor started
"Did you loose your sonic screwdriver?" Kara smiled at the Doctor slyly. "This thing here?" she held up the sonic screwdriver. The Doctor's mouth fell open.
"Yes, Kara that is what I was looking for, I... how do you know what that is?" He realized what Kara had said now that he was recovered from the fact that she had the sonic screwdriver.
"This? My dad had one of them, or so Mom used to say..." Kara trailed off, realizing who she was talking to in truth and her smile grew wider.
