Challenge #75

[shivver]

There's always room for improvement, isn't there? For today's challenge, go back to something that you completed at least a year ago (and posted, if you're someone, like me, who posts stories to a journal or archive) that you've always thought about improving or rewriting, and do it! Just a couple of paragraphs is enough for this challenge - apply what you've learned in the time since you first wrote it.

Fill- Challenge 74 (DW-BFA)

 (So it's not exactly a mythical creature, but I couldn't seriously stop picturing the Eighth Doctor with a dinosaur. Have a Double drabble :))

"Comet B/124 !" the Doctor exclaimed as they exited the TARDIS. "Oh you're going to love it, Lucie! A truly peaceful jungle planet- perfect for a holiday. " 

"Yeah, heard that before" Lucie remarked. As she trekked through the tall grass, however, something caught her eye. "Doctor, hold on" she began, pointing to a small green creature munching on grass, "Is that a dinosaur?" 

The Doctor nodded. "Actually, it's an Ankylosaurus. Name meaning, "great belly." 

Lucie watched as the creature came towards them. "Fascinating, I'm sure. But why's it out here? In space? And- Oi!" It licked her hand. 

"Greeting you!" the Doctor said, laughing a bit.

"Okay, you're barking!" Lucie exclaimed, back at the TARDIS.  "There's no way we're keeping that thing."

" Oh I don't know," the Doctor said, patting the dinosaur on the head. "I travelled with a vortisaur for awhile. And she wants to come, don't you Angie?" He asked, his voice in practically a coo. 

Oh great, Lucie thought. He's gone and named it! 

She sighed,  "Oh all right, But I'm warning the both of you," She wagged a finger at Angie and the Doctor. "I'm not cleaning up after her. One mess, and she's straight back here!"
