Platypus

Summary: The Doctor meets Amelia's daemon. What's a platypus?

AN: so I love Eleven greatly; warning, I'll prob write more for him than anyone else. And more with Martha, seeing as she a doctor and they ask questions.

Today's Doctor: Eleven

(*7 3# - Gallifreyan (The TARDIS doesn't translate)

"Funny," Amelia said, eating her ice cream.

"Am I?" the Doctor asked. "Funny. Funny's good."

The Doctor held out a finger, offering a dollop of custard to Missius, who happily lapped it up. The Doctor smiled at her lovingly.

"And weird," the Doctor added with amusement, then looked at Amelia, or rather, the pile of blankets on the table. "Well, is he scared? Come on then, I don't bite."

Amelia instantly took the bundle in her arms. "He isn't scared," she argued, "Billi aren't scared of anything."

"Of course you're not," the Doctor agreed, "Man and heart fall out of the sky; heart changes from; eat fish custard. You aren't afraid of anything; you and your duckling."

"He's not a duck!" Amelia instantly said, the tightening of her grip revealed the duckbill again.

"Well what is he?" the Doctor asked.

Amelia hesitated, looking down at her bundle before slowly, she pulled it away. The Doctor stared at her daemon, his eyebrows furrowed.

"What is that?" he asked.

"I'm a platypus!" Bilando instantly said defensively, shaking his tail.

"A platypus?" the Doctor asked.

"Yes, and he isn't strange or weird," Amelia said, holding her daemon.

"Of course he isn't," Missius said.

"He's brilliant," the Doctor agreed, then looked at Missius. "Why couldn't you be this platypus? It's an excellent bird."

"A platypus is not a bird, (*7 3#," Missius snorted, testing the flex of her crest.

"Really?" the Doctor asked. "Then a beaver of some kind?"

"No," Amelia said.

"Well, then," the Doctor stood up, taking Missius on his arm. "Tell me more while we check on this crack in your wall."

Amelia's lips pursued at the mention ofthe wall before she stood, taking Bilando in her arms. "We saw one in the zoo once; when mum and dad were still around. A platypus…"

End.

Uh. Yea. There it is. The Doctor doesn't relaly travel the human world to anywhere other than the states (without counting ClassicWho, I haevn't seen that) so I figure he probably hasn't seen a platypus before. Kudos are nice please and thank you.
