spring makes my fever right

[godcomplexed]

[Voice]

Hello everyone, been awhile hasn't it? Spring is in full bloom and it's nearly summer.

Thank god.

Spring is really such a terrible time of year. Not warm enough to do anything properly fun but all the snow has melted so that's another sort of fun gone. It's desperate to be summer, but can't properly make it. Completely overshadowed by summer. Never has a proper time to shine at all. The season always stuck in the back. Spring is really a bit sad, isn't it?

But worse than sad, it's boring.

[A sniff.]

No proper holidays, horrid weather. It's like... being stuck in cage on the planet Nersox, except nothing like that at all. Cages on Nersox are significantly more interesting than spring in Mayfield. It's nothing but rain and pollen, allergies and sneezing and blurgh. And even worse... I'm bored.

When I get bored, I start thinking. Even more than usual, which is really quite daunting I'll have you know. And this sort of thinking leads to ideas. And while my ideas are all very brilliant, when I get too many ideas some of them are less brilliant.

Well, they're brilliant but also dangerous. Like... trying to build a slide that goes from the top for to the basement. Which... should go on my list to do actually.

But, no, sorry I've gone off track. Basically, someone tell me something interesting to distract me. Tell me about your brilliant ideas, your amazing adventures, and before you say anything most of you have had brilliant adventures even if you don't realize it. I also want your brilliant but dangerous ideas, things to do in spring, something about where you come from, what you ate for lunch...

No, that's boring, I don't care what you've eaten, forget that one.

[The Doctor is sitting inside The Pandorica.

Well no.

He's not quite sitting. He's laying upside down on the chair, his back on the seat and his legs over the top.

He keeps waving his hands experimentally in front of his face and wiggling his fingers.]

Okay. Human medicine causes a strange mental state in Time Lords. Certainly interesting. Lightheadedness, detachment from reality.... Side-effects indeed!

...Blimey, have my hands always been so big? And pale. Perhaps I ought to start tanning. Yes, tans are cool.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Are your hands really that big? [ Suddenly peering over him is one redhead in a short skirt. More like a ripped skirt but who's counting? ] Let me see these big hands of yours.

[ Maybe she should be a tad bit more concerned, but stupid has joined the party here in Mayfield, so she can't help but act a bit more childish. Funny how that is: a dangerous situation none of them can escape from and she's found joy in teasing her best friend five-ever. ]

[godcomplexed]

Gigantic. Have a look.

[He extends a hand towards her.]

Hello, Pond.

[the_girl_who_waited]

You're right. [ Can she just grab at that hand? Don't mind not-quite-mommy-dearest doing just that. ] Your hand is huge.

[ Seriously though: ]

Why are you acting this way? It's strange. Like the first night I met you kind of strange.

[godcomplexed]

Am I not allowed to be strange....

er?

But if you're curious, I took some human allergy medicine and I've been experiencing rather interesting side-effects.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Who thought it was a good idea to give you that?

No wait.

Why did you think it was a good idea to do that to yourself?

[godcomplexed]

[scowling.]

Because I was sick of my nose running all the time. Is that a crime now?

[the_girl_who_waited]

Tissues. [ With her other hand, she rubs two fingers against the thumb. ] You can roll and stuff them up there too. Looks silly, but it works great.

[godcomplexed]

I'd rather avoid looking silly, Pond. I know your game.

[the_girl_who_waited]

If you scrunch them up right, no one can even see the white.

[godcomplexed]

I absolutely refuse to do something so incredible ridiculous.

[the_girl_who_waited]

I suggest something helpful and you call it ridiculous. It beats the side-effects. Maybe you should see someone for that or at least someone who can shrink your hands. [ Teasing all the same. ] The nurse is in, you know.

[godcomplexed]

[Flaps his hands at her, still upside down.]

Changed my mind, I quite like my hands.

...And yes, I know he is.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ The Doctor upside down is new and she likes it. He can flap his hands all he likes, but she's not backing down. ]

Didn't take you long. [ For both. ] Happy?

[godcomplexed]

[Pulls his arms back and crosses them over his chest.]

...I suppose so.

[the_girl_who_waited]

Let's do something. [ Thinking, thinking. ] Camping?

[godcomplexed]

More time outside? Pond are you trying to kill me?

...

I have a tent somewhere in the TARDIS.

[the_girl_who_waited]

So it is possible. [ But no, quit yer whining. ] A real tent? Because you can't camp inside the TARDIS.

[godcomplexed]

[He rolls into a sitting position so he's right side up. Not that it really helps the ridiculous factor because his hair and clothes are all rumpled.]

Yes, it's possible. I'm the Doctor, anything possible. And yes, a real tent! Picked it up at a rummage sale. Amazing things, rummage sales, never know what you're going to find.

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ Can she just mother him by trying to fix his hair?? ]

It won't do anything strange, will it? [ Who knows where he picked it up. ] Do you have any sleeping bags?

[godcomplexed]

[She can but he'll scowl and try to smack her hand away from his precious moptop.]

....Dunno, I've haven't ever used it.

[Strange would be a good thing!]

NOW YOU'RE THE TAG OWER WHAT NOW

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ She'll put him in time out if this bad behavior continues!! ]

You've bought a tent and didn't bother to use it? [ Why does she sound so surprised when this is something she ought to expect from him. ] It'll do, but if something hops out at us in the middle of the night, I'm never letting you live it down.

OH SNAP

[godcomplexed]

I don't think there's anything you've ever let me live down in your entire life.

[Blows his nose.]

AND THEN AGAIN

[the_girl_who_waited]

Sure I have. You're just not thinking hard enough.

[ Gross. ]

RUDE.

[godcomplexed]

[NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR JUDGEMENTS JUDGEY MCJUDGERSON. So he'll do it again.]

Putting the demands on me, I see. You're taking advantage of my distant state of mind. Terrible, Amelia Pond, simply terrible.

I LIVE TO BE RUDE

[the_girl_who_waited]

[ WOW WHY ARE BOYS SO GROSS?? Take your wibbly wobbly snot out of this conversation. ]

I've been accused of acts more terrible. [ Oops is that a lack of a damn to give? ] Besides, I've gotta make up for lost time.
