039 / 005 - With a loaded gun / And sweet dreams of you

[She's curled up in a little ball under a frayed old quilt on a couch that looks like it gave up on life a while ago and now just waits for the end. It sighs stuffing out of its cushions every time Misaki moves. Her hair is in a flyaway French braid. Haruki curls up next to her head, wriggles around and curls up again. By her feet and on the floor are a scattering of papers that look like homework--and a little notebook with an embroidered cloth cover. If you guessed that it's Misaki's journal? You would be 100% correct.]

It looks like a blue box, but it can talk? Um. She, I mean.

[Hugs her knees against her chest and rests her chin on them] What sort of places have you gone?

[Donna sits on the couch with her] She does this...projection thing. Like a hologram, I guess. But we've been to ice worlds and back in time to Pompeii and to this little colony planet out in the middle of nowhere...

I've barely been outside of Honshu.

I'd never gone too far either. A few holidays, a trip to Spain. Egypt, once, but it's not the same.

How'd you start traveling? [Pets Haruki absently as he chews on one of her papers]

Well, full story's a bit long. I met the Doctor on my wedding day. I'd thought he'd kidnapped me. Turned out it was this...weird resonance thing between me and his ship because of a poison my fiancé was giving to me. Anyway, we beat the aliens and all but I didn't travel with him then. It just sort of...inspired me. But when he came back around again, how could resist space travel a second time around?

[So caught up in the idea of space travel that it takes a minute for everything Donna said to sink in completely] W...wait... Your fiancé....

[she's come to terms with it, so she nods] His name was Lance. He was sort of...the queen of the Racnoss' consort. They're giant spiders. He was using me for her. But when the Doctor showed up, it ruined their plans. He's gone. The spiders sort of... [she cuts herself off]

[Hugs Donna tight, pressing her face against the woman's shoulder.] I'm sorry, Donna-san.

...

My mom betrayed my dad. I mean, not like that, or anything, but she left us after I was born.

[hugs her back tightly, giving her comfort as well] Are you and your dad close at least?

[Little grin] Yeah. He... tries to be like a mom sometimes. It doesn't work very well.

[smiles a little, pulling back but keeping her hands on Misaki] Yeah but he tries.

He definitely tries. We get by. His whole department has helped take care of me at some point or other.

Sounds like you've been a lucky girl.

[Leaning against Donna.] Yeah. I guess I really have.

[smiles softly] Might not seem like the best but you've got someone caring for you.

[Rubs her eyes and yawns] I can't imagine it being different. And I've got Kanami and her family, too. And Alice.

[gives her a brief, gentle hug] There you are. Now why don't you and your super pup take a nap?

Super pup? [Grin]

Yeah, I think it's a good nickname. He's a tough one.

Yeah. [Stretch.] He is.

You should get back to napping, though.

[Rests her head on Donna's shoulder.] I should do my homework...

[gives her a little one armed hug] Homework can wait until you've gotten some decent rest.

[Grins, half-asleep] All right, all right.
