If the Doctor Could Fly: Season 4

by Kitty Midnight

How would episodes or scenes change if the Doctor could fly? It's only a collection of short sections of episodes, but through all the seasons a cohesive storyline emerges as the Doctor discovers more and more about the power of flight. This takes almost encyclopedic knowledge of each episode to appreciate it to its fullest, but that kind of knowledge isn't necessary to enjoy it.

Proper Dave appeared in the opening in the wall. "Hey, who turned out the lights?"

The others ran after them.

The Doctor was too shocked to fly with her, and just let her drag him. He tried to help her, but she was flying so well he only slowed her down. "Where did you learn to fly?!" he questioned.

"From you," she answered with a smile.

"Who are you?!"

He knew it was supposed to be impossible to fly at all, but it seemed impossible to fly as well as she did. She could fly without flapping her arms. She could float motionless and suddenly dart off at full speed.

"Teach me?" the Doctor asked.

"I already did."
