[Donna appears, holding up a jar. It should be noted she looks pretty proud of herself. The jar is making a low, angry buzzing noise]

I caught it! It took all morning to catch the little bugger but I got'em! Knew I would. [now she's talking to the jar, which contains...a bee] Don't suppose you'd want to come back to Earth with me, would you? Maybe I should give you a proper name, Mister Bee...

[Appears suddenly behind Donna and leans over her shoulder] How about Arthur?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[gives a start but turns to face her] I dunno. Think he looks like an Arthur?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Takes a step backwards, smirking] Maybe... Is it definitely a boy?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Depends on the sort of bee it is. I can't exactly tell. It's probably a bloke bee. [holding the jar up now, trying to figure it out]

[...]

There any particular reason you're holding a bee in a jar? What's it in for: armed robbery?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

He's been a busy little bee, that's why. Actually, it's because I thought maybe I could take him home.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Why the bloody hell would you want to take home a bee?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

... Miss Noble, I doubt Earth needs alien bees.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

What if it's an all right alien bee?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[a pause] Absolutely no troubles involved with it?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

I think they've pretty much filled their bee quota, actually.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Not really! The bees are disappearing.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Since when?

[lamb_of_gold]

You may be the first I've met to keep a pet bee.

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Well that just means you'll remember it well.

[lamb_of_gold]

I suppose I will.

A particular reason for this choice of pet?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Have a grinning Aniki.] Don't have bees on that Earth of yours?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

They're disappearing! Everywhere! No one's got a bloody clue where they're going off to. So maybe we could find some new bees.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

And where did this one come from?

[didorothy]

Donna. Why do you have a bee in a jar?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

You heard about the bees disappearing, didn't you? 'Cause they are.

[didorothy]

Why would the bees disappear?

[peers at Donna, peers at jar, peers at Donna again]

Is there a reason you're catching bees?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

[proudly] The bees are disappearing. I thought I'd give Earth a boost. All right, it's a small boost right now. But best to start somewhere.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[raises eyebrows] Twenty-first century, yes?

[smiles] Well, they're fortunate to have someone on the case, then. Where did you get it from?
