Author's Notes: Hey look! I wrote Nine!


++


Rose and the Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS.

She took in the city street around them. From the look of the car that drove by, they were still in the 1940s.

“Where are we?” she asked.

He grinned. “Just a quick hop across the pond. Boston, Massachusetts, 1941.” He looked at his watch. “Just about dinner time.”

A red ball rolled down the sidewalk and bumped into the TARDIS. The Doctor picked it up and tossed it to the dark-haired boy who’d come running after. “I think this is yours, mate.”

Rose smiled and waved. “Hello!”

The kid took one look at her Union Jack tee and arched an eloquent eyebrow.

“Leonard!” a woman’s voice cried from a nearby house. “Dinner!”

The boy ran off.

Rose turned to see the Doctor smiling smugly at her. He was obviously up to something. “Who was that?”

“What, didn’t you recognize him?” He chuckled and bounced a bit on his heels. “That was Max Nimoy’s boy Leonard.”

She stared at him blankly for a moment, then her eyes narrowed. “Very funny,” she bit out. 

“Well, you did say you wanted a little Spock."

The TARDIS door slammed behind her.

He shook his head. “Whoever said Earth girls were easy obviously had no idea what they were talking about.”

 

End.

*snort* Nine always did rock the snark; you've captured his voice perfectly.

And thanks eversomuch for reminding me how much I miss Nine.

Hee. You are eversowelcome.

I have exactly thirty-four minutes until I can watch The Sound of Drums. I'm feeling a bit faint. I must teach my dog how to fetch smelling salts.

Thanks for the comment!

Oh, that is just too perfect. Well, he did give her what she asked for, it's not Nine's fault that it could be taken that way...

I wish I could see that. Unfortunately, Boston's a bit of a trip from here. Shucks.

As for the Boston/Cambridge issue, that's wikipedia for you. I take my dignity into my hands every time I depend on that thing. C'est la vie.

Thanks so much for your comment!

I can so see Nine doing this. xD

I found this on a recommended FF list - loved it! Too bad they couldn't make it into a real mini-episode. Tag-on or something. Or, like they do sometimes at the movies, where there are a few extra scenes which play after/during the credits. This would be hilarious.

Aw, you made me miss Nine with your horrible In-characterness.

Personally, I think Rose had much more chemistry with Nine than with Ten.

But I luff your Ten/Rose fics anyway.

Oh, Nine. I love it when my two favorite fandoms rub up against each other like this. :D

[identity profile] yavie-namarie.livejournal.com 2010-09-22 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
LOL.
I'm sure Nine's expression at the end wasn't too different from my icon either... XD
