For Ali

It's been a long, long, time since I put pen to paper and pulled anything creative out of my brain.

After last night's Dr. Who, Ali ([livejournal.com profile] watcher_junior) demanded "Gah. Someone rec or write some Rose/Ten fluff. Now. Please?!"

Well. I'm a slow writer, so I couldn't comply with the "now". And I wasn't doing so well with the fluff part either; trying to rewrite certain scenes at the end of Gridlock turned into a big angsty blowup between the Doctor and the TARDIS... And of course, in the process of trying to do a bit of research on it, I discovered that already, somebody had written out the little idea that I had and did a much better job, well, that completely killed my little story. It was a crappy anyway, painfully stilted with too much "telling." Nearly a thousand words, though, miscarried. That hurts.

Instead, I'm posting a drabble, that would have served for the introduction (albeit in a lengthier form). I hope you like it, Ali!
