Leanne at first followed the Doctor with a newfound spring in her step, but as she really thought about what she had said, she slowed down. The character in the show she had quoted... He never got his leap home. He became lost in time forever, didn't he?

She shook her head, yet she found herself feeling that this Doctor was a lot like the doctor from the show.

Leanne smiled. If they were alike she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Dr. Sam Becket always did the right thing, after all.

The Doctor really did NOT want to take a bus again, but this wasn't London where you could find three taxis per block. He asked Leanne if she had any other means of transport.

Unfortunately, Leanne couldn't drive yet, so she shook her head. "Never saw a reason to get my license yet... My mom's still at her work, and I don't think she would take too well to a strange man demanding to be driven somewhere."

A mental image of her mom slugging the Doctor quickly popped to mind, and she giggled slightly at that. "I wonder if anybody from work is willing to give us a lift..." she thought absentmindedly.

"Ahh, great! Call one up, then! I think I will only trust busses with two levels from now on."

It was then Leanne noticed something parked near the edge of the Street. A dark green car with a young blond man leaning up against it, glancing at his watch.

"Jeramy?" she said quietly at first, more to herself. "Jeramy!" she cried louder when she spotted that the mess of blond spikes was in fact the person she was thinking of.

The young man looked over and tilted his head. Grabbing the Doctor's hand, Leanne ran over toward the vehicle. "I forgot you said you were picking me up today! Can we take a detour and go downtown?"

The boy stared for a second, looking at Leanne, then the Doctor, then their hands which were still being held. Then back to Leanne. "Who the heck is this guy? Your boyfriend?" he said cautiously.

"Actually, just met," said the Doctor, jumping into the shotgun seat uninvited. "I'm the Doctor, by the way; nice to meet you. Leanne, you need to direct since I have not the foggiest where we need to go."

Leanne leaned over to Jeramy and whispered, "He's definitely not my boyfriend. I don't have one remember?" she said, jumping in the back seat of the car as Jeramy stood there, blinking for a minute, before sliding back into the driver's seat.

"What kind of name is...The Doctor?" he said with a raised eyebrow but didn't really think about it too hard as they pulled out and started in the direction of downtown.

"My name," replied the Doctor. "Have any bananas on you?"

"What kind of question is that?" Jeramy said, irritated, and glanced back at Leanne. "So where are we going? Downtown?"

"Yeah, just drive till we're across the river... I don't think we were very far in... But I'll remember when I see it." Jeramy sighed and pushed down on the gas pedal.

The Doctor gazed outside, with a now much better view. "People do make better walls than windows. Well, no, I have met some aliens, entirely see-through..." He shut up when he realized that he was talking out loud.

Jeramy looked over at the Doctor with an eye brown raised. "Aliens...? Is this another one of your sci-fi nuts?" Jeramy called back to Leanne.

She pouted and retaliated back, "Says the guy who dressed up as an elf every Saturday night to go explore the great magical forest of... What's it called?"

Jeramy frowned and returned his eyes to the road. "We were in Spider Vale last week," he said quietly, obviously accepting his defeat at that. "And it's not an elf! It's a HALF-elf, thank you very much."

"I like nuts," piped in the Doctor, still pondering the outsides of the window. "Bananas covered in nuts." They began to pass over the river. "Whatsit-called?" asked the Doctor, to no one in particular. "Oooo, people in rafts! I remember rafting down the Amazon, dodging arrows and mind-controlled piranhas…" His voice faded out as he went further into his reminiscing, his mind on another

"Uh... Are you sure this guy is... all there?" Jeramy said.

"You're friends with me... you should know I attract some... eccentric people. I mean, I sing about tuna on the moon and you LARP for heaven's sake," Leanne replied. "It's the Bow River Doctor," she then said with a smile.

"What kind of a bow? A hair bow? A hunter's bow? A bowtie? What is LARP? LARPING? Do you hop on one foot?" The Doctor grinned.

Leanne chose to ignore the comments at the moment as she was concentrating on where they were going.

"HERE!" she said abruptly.

Jeramy quickly slammed on the breaks, causing horns to be honked behind them. "It was around here…" She turned to face the Doctor, who of course had already left the car and was ten paces away. Leanne sighed and slid out the back seat onto the street. Jeramy frowned and pulled up to the sidewalk.

"What the hell! Don't just jump out of the car!" He watched her for a moment as she walked up to the Doctor, shrugged, and went to join them.
