Fill- Challenge 82 (DW)

[romanajo123]

 (Well since my Assignment for Seasons of Drabbles is due this weekend, I may as well work on that- so using the "working on something else" . 
Here's a bit of it.  

Donna Noble, Missy, pre-Runaway Bride) 

The invitation had been from an anonymous sender. "Experience the beauty of the coast of Spain, learn to scuba dive, see nature's wonders," signed "M." Well it was pretty eye-catching; the undersea life was like watching one of those Attenborough documentaries!  But she couldn't help feeling something was off about this whole thing. 

 

"Beautiful, isn't it darling?" a woman near her whispered. She had a Scottish accent and looked, at least to Donna, like an understudy for Mary Poppins. 

 

"Yeah, it's incredible" Donna answered, putting on her mask to dive deeper while unaware that back home, Christmas was in trouble.

Nicely done! You set the scene well and made good references. Two quibbles (because they bother me but you may not care, thus quibbles). One: If Donna is admiring the undersea life and then "diving deeper", thus implying that she's already in the water, where exactly is Missy that she's in her full Mary Poppins outfit and yet within whispering range?

Two: When Donna was in Spain, it wasn't Christmas and the entire world was in danger, not just England. That was "Doomsday", in which the Cybermen first appeared all over the world, and then the Daleks came out of the sphere at Canary Wharf.
