043 - A New Beginning (Round 3)!

WHY?! Why does he always return?! The Doctor. The universe's greatest meddler. He can never leave well enough alone!

[The striked out portion has been so thoroughly removed, and a few minutes later, replaced with the following, written much more neatly this time]

The Doctor? Again? My, Admiral, you're getting just a touch predictable now.

It looks like it's time for us to part ways, my dear Captain. Try not to miss me too much. We'll always have the Valiant.

Oh, don't worry. I've moved onto someone better. And looks like you have too! Now that I've seen your file and know so much about how you two get along.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Want to trade places? I know how much you missed your dear Doctor's company, after all. Over a hundred years searching for him! How pathetic

[capn-jack-h.livejournal.com]

And how many centuries were you looking for him, huh? And after that tragic childhood, too. No wonder you could never love again.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I never searched for him. He always found me-- all the while, never once trying to find you again after abandoning you, so far from home...

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

A tad bit disappointed to see me again, Master?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Your visits tend to be short-lived, Doctor. I'll manage.

Smirk

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

That may be true, but aren't you always the one who ends up finding yourself dying thanks to the women in your life?

DDD:

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Part of the fun of the fairer sex! The unpredictability.

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

Well then, if you're going to patronise me by questioning my sexuality, dear Master, then perhaps I'll hand you back off to Jack, hm?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Are you always going to call in your little attack dog when I become too difficult for you?

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

If it gets the job taken care of. See, unlike some Time Lords I know, I don't have resort to conning people into liking me using hypnosis and falsities.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh, that wounds me, Doctor! I'll have you know, I was perfectly honest with my dear Lucy.

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

Yeah...and look how far that got you.

...Shot.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

As you said, "It's only a bullet." The effect it had on you... oh, that made it worth every second.

Silence

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

...

GLOATING

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, did you have anything to add?

He straightens up

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

Not really, Master. This conversation really isn't getting us anywhere...I'm not here to trade petty blows with you.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Of course. You're here to help me, is that correct?

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

I'm here to keep an eye on you. You're beyond help Master, all I can do is make sure you don't hurt anyone.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Already claiming I'm beyond help? My, I didn't expect you to give up so quickly, Doctor. Still upset about my latest venture?

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

Slaughtering one tenth of the human population, enslaving them and forcing them to do your will, thereby creating a paradox and canabalising my TARDIS to do so?

...Yeah, I think I'm still just a bit annoyed.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I thought you forgave all that.
