Time Again

by Mira-Jade

With the whole of time and space before him, and the metaphorical nine lives lived behind him, the Doctor certainly has a few tales to tell. A collection of drabbles.

"Do you ever realize that all of the aliens always seem to attack on Christmas?"

"No, not really."

"C'mon, think about it, Doctor."

"I am thinking."

"And . . . ?"

"Well, I suppose they do."

"And you don't think that there is anything odd about that?"

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Rose, it's all about money. More of you apes are watching the telly this time of year in an effort to escape out of town relatives whom you'd rather just stay out of town relatives. Festive spirits are at a high, and that means happy fangirls. So, obviously, I have to save Earth every Christmas. It's sort of a tradition now."

"What?"

" . . . oh. Um, never mind."

" . . . Okay then. Well, I'm just saying that we should have a real Christmas this year. At home with mum, and a tree, and -"

"Rose Tyler, I would rather be on a doomed Titanic than spend Christmas with Jackie Tyler."

"So . . . we're going to have to fight aliens then instead?"

"I'm afraid so."
