001 [A Brave New World]

[There is never really a ‘good’ moment to arrive on the Plane for the first time, but some appearances are more inconvenient than others. The girl who has just appeared is carrying a picnic basket in one hand and a broad-brimmed sun hat – which doesn’t quite fit with the black and white stripes of the rest of her outfit – in the other. She has the air of a person who has been disturbed while packing for a holiday. She doesn’t, however, have the air of someone who is surprised by such a strange occurrence.]

Oh, I should have known that a holiday was too much to hope for!

[She looks around curiously. A little nervously too, perhaps, but at least she isn’t terrified.]

Grandfather? Grandfather, are you there?

Zoe?

[She pauses before calling out the third and final name, as if she is somewhat reluctant to use it.]

Jamie?

Hello?

He probably isn't very optimistic, though. [She knows the Master probably knows the Doctor better than anyone, but, since he isn't a companion and she rather likes him, Susan isn't jealous.] I'm not sure you could ever learn caution.

[chuckles] I'm better with it than I used to be.

Really? That will make things easier, then.

[It doesn't matter how much older he is now, or what universe he's from. He's still her grandfather, and Susan therefore considers it her duty to look after him as best she can.]
