It was a gorgeous day. The twin suns of the planet Eqiv 10 shone high up in the pink-tinged, cloudless sky. Jamie had planned to spend the day with one of the natives of the planet - one he had found himself spending more and more time with while the Doctor worked on repairing the TARDIS. She was beautiful, and kind, and Jamie was quite smitten.
He had set up a picnic for the two of them, and as they ate, he watched her tuck a strand of hair behind one delicately pointed ear. The Doctor was almost finished with the repairs, and they would have to leave soon. But he wanted, desperately, for her to come with him. It had taken him some time to work up the nerve to ask, but he was determined to do so now.
"Look, I..." Suddenly, a roar interrupted what Jamie was going to say, and a large, fearsome looking beastie came into view. Beady eyes fixed on the two of them and it started to move in their direction, faster than the Scot had thought possible.
"Come on!" Jamie said, alarmed. They took off at a run, back towards the safety of the TARDIS. As they did so, he reached back to take her hand and propel her in front of him, so he could keep himself between her and the beastie. He would do whatever he needed to do to keep her from harm, he vowed, no matter where they wound up. As long as they were together, that was what was important.
