[The Doctor is in a relatively good mood, and it may have something to do with the fact that he's got one of his companions with him. This companion is a fluffy black cat named Mortimer, who is currently lapping up a saucer of milk. The Doctor shakes his head as he watches him.]

Dunno how you can stand the stuff. All the species in all the universe and it has to come out of a cow.

Suppose it's a good thing we restocked the kitchen, though. 'Course, it's gonna have to be restocked every couple of weeks now that we've got so many mouths to feed. [He doesn't sound overly frustrated by this, however. Quite the opposite, in fact.] Remember when it was just you and me? Blimey, seems like forever ago... [he trails off, brooding for a moment. Then he turns his attention to Mortimer again, since the cat is demanding it by plopping down onto Nine's lap.]

Speaking of new companions, d'you think we ought to get another cat? Seems like you could use a feline friend, and maybe one who's mum won't try to claw me to death. No more domestics for me, thanks!

Well don't let your cats near my- [HOLD THE PHONE, YOU SAID OMEGA]

Why do you have Omega for a companion?

[grins] I'd be more worried about your next self than my cats. He actually unraveled one of them.

And that's sort of a long story...has anyone explained the bit about merging realities yet?

He did?! How horrible! Well. The list of reasons why I have to give my future-self a talking-to is slowly increasing.

No, I don't think so-and I'd much rather hear it from you than read it in this pamphlet. What's merging realities?

To be fair, he was having some massive regeneration trauma.

[rolls his eyes fondly] It's when realities merge together. Bits of your universe wind up in someone else's, and vice versa. Happens when you've got strong emotions toward someone, whether it's friendship, love, or in Omega's case...hate.

Let me guess. He hates you so much that your realities start to merge. [he sighs]

That sounds awful.

It's not completely awful; he has saved my life twice now. [and you know, killed him once, but that's beside the point] He's fairly useful to have around when it comes to repairing the TARDIS, too.

Speaking of the TARDIS, how is the girl?

She's fantastic, as usual. The desktop theme's coral now, by the way.

Coral? [apprehensive Doctor is apprehensive]

Is there any way of me seeing it?

[hesitantly] You could if our universes merged, but I'd rather not let that happen, thanks.

Why? Does it hurt? Or are you simply terratorial? I can't imagine that it would be good for the universes, but the sheer fact that I'm talking to myself isn't good for the universe.
