Hello again, Doctor.

Romana!

Did you know, for some reason nobody seems to know about me? They point to my past selves and talk about which ones are cuter, but I don't get so much as a nod!

They do seem to be a bit more boisterous than you.

Shouldn't mean they can forget me! D:!

Then you should remind them! Though, I certainly could not forget any of you.

That's why I posted this, see!

:D

Jelly baby?

Yes, I can.

And certainly!

I've got... well, here, have the bag. There's watermelon!

And cherry, I hope?

Hold on just a tick... Here! Cherry!

Wonderful!

I assumed regeneration.

It's like a t-shirt, Sarah! I'm repeatedly ignored when it comes to discussions of which of my selves is cutest, so I thought if I told them who I am, perhaps they'd remember me!

I always remember all of you.

Well, I didn't mean you-you.

Alright then: How?

I regenerated!

Hello, Sally, how're you these days?

What's that supposed to mean, "regenerated"?

I'm good, thank you... I'm sorry, have we met?

It means I replaced every cell in my body.

Yes! I'm the Doctor- wait, do the words 'weeping angels' mean anything to you?

Of course they do. How could I possibly forget that?

How... how is that possible?

It's a little trick of my race.

You're from another planet... I forgot.

But you can just... you can just switch, like that? Whenever you want? Seems awfully convenient.

No. Only when my previous body has been damaged beyond my ability to heal.

You mean, when you die.

Yes.

So you... you died, then. Since we met.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

Yes.

Not that bad. Hardly notice a thing, and then you're all new, lots to explore all over again.

Yes, but... well.

I suppose if it doesn't bother you, then it shouldn't bother me. Right?

Course not. Jelly baby?

Oh, thanks!

Here, green or red?

It's brilliant, really, how many flavours they've got.

Are there yellow ones? I like yellow ones...

Plenty of yellow ones!

It wouldn't be so bleeding special if you hadn't killed all the other time lords.

I didn't have a choice.

Did it involve the Tackhrin plant?

Because really, I would not be surprised.

What, that?

Nah.

Just simple regeneration. Ianto, isn't it?

That's right. Ianto Jones.

Interesting. Do Time Lords lack a fixed gender?

Not generally. It'd be a bit confusing that way.

I imagine. Chaos or unending hilarity: it'd cause one or the other.
