The Birthday

by genesssa

At the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, the TARDIS team view Chagall's "The Birthday." Despite the usual site miscount, this IS a drabble.

THE BIRTHDAY

"It seems our Doctor is a romantic," said Tegan.

"Him?" Nyssa was astonished.

"Go figure, right? To come all this way for a painting. There, see?"

The Doctor was standing before "The Birthday," one hand behind his head, the other tracing something in the air, as if he were painting the picture himself.

Tegan said "That's crazy! Humans can't fly and our necks don't bend like that."

"Oh," explained the Doctor, "It's not a picture of what they look like. It's a picture of how they feel."

Nyssa nodded, smiling. Then Tegan got it.

"Oh, Doctor! You are a romantic!"
