Author Note: Ok I was reading my Doctor Who series 2 companion mag thingy the other day (whatever its called) and read about this scene being deleted from the final version of The Girl In The Fireplace. Personally I think this version would have been much better, but never mind. So here's my very poor interpretation of how the scene could have turned out, and if I can find any other similar, funny scenes, I may do them too...depending on how this one turns out.

Enjoy.

Reinnete gasped as, in slow motion, the Doctor smashed through the mirror of his own accord, somersaulting arse over tit. He staggered to his feet, brushing the glass from his jacket and announced, to no-one in particular "You know...galloping-wise, there are good times...and bad times...for a horse to stop."

He was obviously very concussed, because he staggered over to the French author and philosopher Francois de Voltaire, and announced "Reinnete! I'm back...did you miss me?"

"I'm not Reinnete," Voltaire replied, rather confused.

"You're not...oh...hang on." Then the Doctor slapped himself on the back of the neck and shouted "Barcelona!" before shaking his head. "Thats better. Now where were we?"

After finding his way back to Rose and Mickey later on, Rose decided to explain what had happened earlier.

"Arthur spooked. I don't know why, but he dumped you through there then bolted. Doctor, he went in the TARDIS."

"Ah thats alright, probably thought it was the safest place to be at the moment...don't blame him actually," the Doctor replied casually.

"No Doctor...I meant he went in the TARDIS," Rose replied as Mickey appeared from inside with a shovel of horse poo. The Doctor's face was a picture, and Rose couldn't keep from grinning.

"We're dropping him off in a field somewhere, ok?" she asked after the Doctor had recovered from the shock.

"Ok. Next field we find...and what about the horse?"
