Revenge of the Slitheen, With Added Doctor (for his_sarah_jane)

[ladyoftime]

The Doctor had earlier randomised the coordinates for her TARDIS to spice things up a bit, give herself some adventure after a few strangely dull tries; the sort that ended in explaining to a slightly deaf, very old Barcelosian couple that she hadn't actually meant to land in their rock garden, it was a very lovely rock garden, she'd just be going now. No, she'd rather not stay for tea, if it's all the same to you. Eighty years, really? You don't look a day older than seventy, the pair of you.

At any rate, she was hoping for a bit of adventure this time, and when she poked her head out the door, she got it.

"...ovely." The Doctor spotted a Slitheen in its natural form, looming over someone she couldn't see. Adventure she wanted, adventure she got. Where was that vinegar when she needed it?

"Then sniff this!"

She stopped rifling through her pockets for something vinegary. Hold on, she recognised that. "Sarah-Jane?"

"Only a few more minutes," Sarah answered as she pushed on the gas pedal. She was worried. So frightened that it hurt. "Do you think you could distract them while I find the kids?"

"Definitely. Absolutely. I'm sure I've got vinegar somewhere." She rifled through her pockets again, searching for anything vinegar-y.

"Mostly sure."

"Excellent."

The rest of the ride was silent. Soon enough, they pulled up in front of the school building and Sarah Jane quickly unbuckled herself and opened the car.

"Come on, Doctor," she yelled, already running towards the door.

The Doctor didn't manage to get out quite as fast as Sarah Jane, but she wasn't far behind. Likewise, she had the sonic screwdriver out fast, but not quite fast enough. The doors were already opening, and the Doctor didn't honestly have much to do but dig out a small bottle of vinegar, she knew she'd had some somewhere, and throw it at the advancing Slitheen while a trio of children- Maria and Luke? Who was the third?- made a break for it.

Sarah Jane pushed Luke and his friends forward, nodding towards the Doctor to get them back to the car. She needed to close the door and fast. The Slitheen was gaining.

She changed the setting on her sonic lipstick and held it out. Hah, just in time! She grinned in grim satisfaction as she stepped backwards to lock the outer doors as well. Just to make sure they had enough time to get away, she melted the interior of the lock with the lipstick.

Then, she rushed to join the others.
