Of Meteors and Monsoons ♦ with gaillfreys_last

Holidays couldn't last forever. Which probably explained why Donna was knee-deep in mud, soaking wet, freezing cold and three miles from the bleedin' TARDIS. Warm tropic suns, the Doctor had said. Glorious sunny beaches, he'd promised. The greatest meteor shower this side of the galaxy. Too bad they'd landed a decade too early in the middle of

"Well... I suppose. But no dangerous planets. Promise me, Doctor?" Her grandad is hardly a spring chicken, she worries about him.

[gaillfreys_last]

"We can always go on holiday...again," he sighs. Donna's no fun!

[noblexcompanion]

Donnas are lots of fun! Just not when Wilf's health and safety is on the line. He's the only grandparent she has left, after all. "We could go see a meteor shower!"

Aye, Sweetheart, that sounds lovely."

[gaillfreys_last]

"We could do that any time! But okay, whatever you want to do, love..." He's becoming an obedient man. When was he ever like this? Never.

[noblexcompanion]

"Maybe the fact we're kidnapping Gramps will overshadow the fact you seduced me," she teases, kissing his cheek again.

[gaillfreys_last]

"Yeah...I seduced you," he laughs. "Takes two, love," he grins smugly.

[noblexcompanion]

"Give over. You two love birds 'ave fancied each other for ages."

Donna squeaks and starts to protest, but Wilf quickly cuts her off. "Don't deny it sweetheart. I'm old but I'm not blind. I know you fancied him from the moment you told me about 'im!"

[gaillfreys_last]

The Doctor just smirks.

[noblexcompanion]

Donna kisses his cheek. "Yeah, yeah. I know we have to. I suppose when we bring Gramps back safe and well would be a good time. Less chance of an argument."

There's a slight knock at the TARDIS door.

[gaillfreys_last]

The Doctor opens the door, hopefully to find Wilf on the other side. Soon, they'll be off and into the time vortex.

[noblexcompanion]

Wilf grins bright and steps inside. "Good to be back in the Old Girl, eh, lad?"

Donna rests her hands on her hips, looking between her two favourite men. "About that! No more secret adventures you two. Got it?"

[gaillfreys_last]

"Oh yes!" The Doctor exclaims, ushering him in and closing the door behind him. "Off we go!"

The Doctor, of course...promptly ignores Donna's demands.

[noblexcompanion]

Don't start, Alien Boy. Mother hen mode is not to be messed with. "New New Italy then!"

"New New Italy?" Wilf chimes in. "What happened to old Italy?"

[gaillfreys_last]

"Oh this is way, way off in the future, where New New Earth was started, because the Old Earth was destroyed, really. Pollution and all that. So...new planet, new countries, new cities."

[noblexcompanion]

"Oh blimey, an alien planet!"

Donna can't help a laugh escaping her. "Yup. You'll love it, Gramps."

[gaillfreys_last]

"Wellll, aliens and humans living in harmony, I guess. I think it's what I would hope the future would bring for the Human race," he nods. "So, we could go to the same cities, except it would be New New Sicily, New New Venice...and so on." He sits on the captain's chair, waiting out the journey, taking Donna's hand to sit near him.

[noblexcompanion]

"And shopping! Don't forget shopping!" Typical Donna. Alien planet and she wants the shops!

Wilf chuckled. "That's my girl."

[gaillfreys_last]

"Oh yes, can't forget that." He laughs. We had a good time doing that in Lucerne, in New New Switzerland."

[noblexcompanion]

"Oh and you got me those lovely boots and that gorgeous necklace!" And there was plenty of glorious hotel sex...

"Oh aye, spoiling you, was he?" Wilf chimes in.

"Always, Gramps."

[gaillfreys_last]

"Oh yes, what a wonderful time we had," he grins. "So...not too far from Sicily..." he looks at the monitor.
