017--Tabloids

[Sitting on the beach with a stack of Tabloids, reading. One looks like this





And another has a picture of her and the Doctor snogging on it.]

Every time I do something, it makes the funny pages. It's starting to get a bit old, really.

[peeks over her shoulder] ...What?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Look! [Have paper shoved in your face, Doctor]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[reads!] ...What?!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Is that the only word you know?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What! [tosses it aside] That's rubbish! Honestly!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Not really. I mean, we did do what they said we did.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Still rubbish, though. Taking pictures like that and twisting the facts.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

What's going on now?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh, y'know. Tabloids.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

What are they on about? [picks one up and reads--] ...Oh my god! I knew it!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Knew what?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

You two! I knew you two were together!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

But we aren't. Not really, anyway.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

'Reserved'? Not a word I'd use to describe you.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You know me better than the paparazzi, though, don't you?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Maybe a bit.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Maybe! You never know. They also seem to think I'm fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

If that's the case I'd hope I know you at least a little better than them.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I hope so! I've never tried to get any of them to marry me.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Rose! Hello there.

[his brow furrows, though, and he walks closer to peer at her magazine]

[stare]

...My, I do become careless in my old age...

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[May feel a little awkward] Careless?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Caught on camera without realising? With a rather well-known friend, at that? [shakes head] Careless.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, yeah, I guess it is.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[faint smile]

Mind, it is rather flattering. The tall dark stranger, your elusive lover...

[that would be a mischievous glint in his eyes]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That would be something you'd like, no matter which you you are.
