Claim: Companions

Timeline: Any time between World War Three and Boom Town.

She spins round in the thick pink coat, throws one end of the long, soft, white scarf over her shoulder and laughs. It rather suits her, really. She tucks her long blonde hair behind her ears and smiles broadly at her reflection. This should do for today’s exploration, she reckons.

A soft choking noise behind her makes her turn, and the smile drops from her face.

The Doctor stands at the door to the wardrobe room, his face pale against the dark leather of his coat, one hand shaking against the doorframe.

He looks like he’s just seen a ghost.

I saw this and though "Hey, Rose! I know that one!" and it still goes completely over my head -_-;

I give it the thumbs up anyway.

Sorry! To clarify, the outfit Rose is wearing was worn by someone who travelled with him in the past who is now (probably) dead. It is very likely she was on Gallifrey when it 'sploded, cos she was President at the time. So the Doctor is spooked by blonde wearing familiar outfit.
I'm glad you're taking the time to read them though :o) *hugs*

Wow! Yeah, I imagine he would. (At least it wasn't the iconic schoolgirl outfit, though.)

Now I'm going to be thinking in tangents of, "Yes, but are the clothes dimensionally transcendental, too? They're definitely not the same size." ;p

Told you I would, there just doesn't seem a point in posting "Buh?" everytime :p Just don't expect to ask me what I thought of drabble x,y or z, I can guarentee I won't know what one you're on about.

Yeouch. Love this! I'm always blown away by writers who can make an emotional impact in 100 words or less.

I kinda wanted to use that outfit, but I couldn't see Rose picking it out outside of a fic rated above my comfort zone :o) I figured the pink coat was the second most iconic.

I bet the clothes fit whoever picks them up :o) Or there are multiple copies of outfits in various sizes. And I would point out that Tom is very tall so it's a comparison thing, but I know someone who worked with Lalla, and it turns out she really is tiny :o)

Thanks :oD I thought I might be losing my knack for drabbling, but this one was written fairly recently so I guess I'm not :o) The word limit is the fun and challenging part of it.

Actually, make that a generic schoolgirl outfit that Rose might pick out. Romana's was really quite conservative :o)

Very nicely worded. :)
