doctor_donnaWhen she steps into the kitchen, Donna almost has an heart attack. The Doctor is not wearing his familiar brown suit. Instead, he’s wearing a nice blue one. So he does change after all, she thinks, relieved. Then she notices it. Pinstripes. Again. What’s it with him and pinstripes? Is that some sort of Martian uniform? He always wears pinstripes, even his pyjamas have pinstripes. Still, better not question his choices of clothes. If there’s one thing she has learned about the Oncoming Storm, is that his appearance is a serious matter to him. She’d made fun of his hair once, and he didn’t speak to her for two days! Better be nice then, especially since she plans to ask him to teach her to pilot the Tardis very soon. She walks up to him, and squeezes his shoulder.
"Nice suit," she says. "Blue looks good on you, Spaceman."
"Thank you, Donna," he answers, beaming at her.
She smirks. Getting him to give her driving lessons will be ever easier than she thought. A few more compliments, and she‘ll have him wrapped around her finger. After all, her Mum has always told her that flattery will get her everywhere.
