[purple_bug]

Ninth drabble for the doctorwho_100 challenge.

I am now connected to the internet in my flat (*happy dance*) so ... well, nothing much'll change in regard to my fics, I guess - I've been managing to keep up a fairly regular updating schedule despite my lack of net, thanks to sellars88 being so hospitable every week :o) Thanks Adam!

Anyway, enjoy the fic and let me know what you think. Also, Tegan and Romana have no comments and they're feeling left out (hint hint) :o)
