(so I'm doing a "use this to work on something else" moment. I posted an OTP Prompt list over on my Tumblr (basically pick a number and a pairing and create something: Cooking together, Firsts, Matching clothes, Sick day, etc. Well I got a rather special request. From my *second mom* [stepmom] who wanted something with Stargazing. So here's a bit of that , featuring the Eighth Doctor and Charley)
Charley was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. Their last adventure had involved Autons in Bath and her having to disguise herself as a boy (yet again) ; and now the Edwardian girl was exhausted. She laid back on one of the couches in the TARDIS library , placing her copy of Pride and Prejudice on the table. She was nearly asleep when an all too familiar voice startled her awake.
"Charley!" the Doctor exclaimed, racing into the library, practically bouncing in excitement "Charley, Charley, Charley!"
Charley knew that when the Doctor was in that mode, it either meant something wonderful or dangerously stupid was about to happen.
"You'll never guess where we're going" the Doctor said, taking a chair near the couch.
"Oh but Doctor, I'm tired" Charley complained. "Can't it wait until I've had some sleep?"
"Guess!" he exclaimed.
Charley sighed. "Where are we going?" she asked, trying to humor him a bit.
"The Rigel Exhibit" he answered, "The best place in the galaxy to watch the stars. I've got us tickets, and if we're there soon enough we'll get to see the comets."
Now Charley was a bit interested. "Comets?"
"An array of comets!" He enthused, "Oh you're going to love it , Charley. Comets with tails in spectacular colours. So, shall we?"
