When Worlds Collide: RP for brilliantname

[rude_not_ginger]

Gro 7 was, actually, not the most interesting planet the Doctor had ever been on. They grew a lot of very pretty but very boring plants and served very bland cocktails at the local bar. He scoured about for a bit, taking in the dull local sites, then opted to try again with the randomizer for something interesting.

After all, when this little joyride ended, he'd go to find Ood Sigma. He'd give up on the life he was living and move on. And he didn't want that. He never wanted it to stop, never wanted to just give in.

He hopped around another bouquet of flowers on his way to the TARDIS. A young man in a tweed jacket very nearly knocked him over as he turned to leave.

"Big enough walkway for both of us!" the Doctor called to him, irritated.

The man turned and gave him an oddly nostalgic look behind his dark, floppy hair before walking off, silently.

Odd. Still, places to go. Things to do.

"She does not. And you--you!"

He stepped around to take her by the shoulders and give her a forceful push towards the door.

"You! Are one big spoiler and I'm not having you spoil the future for me. Out!"

"Hey, Mr. Grabby-hands!" Amy was long-legged enough to dance around him a wee bit. "The future's sort of brilliant, actually. Well, mostly. What I've seen. You're a lot nicer then'n all."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm always nice," the Doctor snapped in a voice that was not very nice at all. "Out! Out! You're going to rupture the whole of time at this rate."

"Why is it that River can pop in as she likes, but not me? Hm?" Amy gave him a look, pouting her lower lip slightly. (She was kind of loving this flavour of geek chic. Apparently nerdy-sexy was the Doctor's general vibe. Lovely.)

"You don't see River here, because she's not and---don't pout!"

It was actually fairly adorable, if he thought about it. Which he would not. Because she was the future, he was the past, and never the two should meet. Ever.

Oh, that would work, then, eh? Amy continued to pout, leaning against the railing and watching him closely.

And actually, Lord of Time, the future and the past met all the time. In that little thing called 'the present.'

"No, I mean it, stop that!" he said, trying very hard to sound very, very irritated. "If you really are from my future, then there's a future me out there who is probably looking for you. Let's not make him worried, eh?"

"Actually, wouldn't future-you know exactly what was going on and remember the whole thing?"

Amy got a wicked, teasing grin and pointed at him, laughing. "You once told me you knew I was a good kisser before you even met me," she lied blithely. "Must be 'cos of this."

The Doctor's eyes widened at the very idea. "Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure you're very nice." And the Doctor did fancy redheads. Not so much as blondes, of course, but they fell at a close second. Elizabeth being the top of that close second list.

"But I don't even know you!"

Amy managed to pull it together into a straight face, and extended her hand to shake his. "The name's Pond," she quipped. "Amy Pond."

"You see, you're not supposed to tell me that," he said, pointing at her hand, and then at her. "Spoilers! Do I know your name is Amy? Do I? I shouldn't know these things!"

"Actually, you knew me as Amelia first, but I just go by Amy these days." She eyed the pointing finger slightly dubiously, and then back up at him, and snapped her teeth playfully in the direction of his finger.

"And yes, thank you, more things I have to work to forget," he snapped. "Because when you first told me your name, did I know? Hmm?"

[brilliantname.livejournal.com]

"No, but I didn't look like this when you first met me, Mr. Grumpyface."

It was dead weird, really, to see the Doctor A) looking so different and B) being so consistently cranky.
