BloodLily16- If you're open to story suggestions, how about Tegan as a cat? If not, forget I said anything.
Yeah, sure. Why not?
The Doctor hastily withdrew his hand from the roundel, narrowly avoiding being scratched. "Now, Tegan, be reasonable." The only response he got was an angry growl from within the wall. Crouching, he stuck his head inside. "If we just go apologise to the wizard, I'm sure he'll-AAARRGH!" The Doctor retreated, banging his head in the process, and clasped a hand to the four bloody scratches on his cheek.
Nyssa calmly walked around the corner and handed him a first aid kit. "Here, let me talk to her."
"Watch out. She's not happy," he said. He took the kit into the console room and dabbed at the scratches with a rapid-healing ointment. A few minutes later, Nyssa came in with Tegan in her arms. "Ah. Feeling better now?" He reached out toward her, only for Tegan to bite him. "Obviously not," he said as he rubbed his hand.
"Tegan says she's not the one who needs to apologise," said Nyssa.
"I thought she couldn't speak!"
"She can, but not to you at the moment." Tegan lashed her tail and whispered something in Nyssa's ear. "She says...she's not the one who insulted the wizard by insisting magic isn't real and showing him up in front of the townspeople."
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke, wonderful man...Anyway, if she hadn't been standing in the way-"
Tegan whispered to Nyssa again, who just stared at her and said, "I don't think that's physically possible."
"What did she say?"
"She said you can go-"
"All right, perhaps I was a bit out of line. But I still insist that it wasn't magic that turned Tegan into a cat."
"You're saying you have the kind of technology that can fix her?" asked Nyssa.
The Doctor looked around the TARDIS, then back at Nyssa and Tegan. He opened his mouth to say something, closed it, and instead went to the hatstand for his coat. "The wizard lives on the south side of town, right? It's only seven o' clock, he's probably still up..."
