It's not every day the universe just hands you opportunities like this.

[allons_y_alonso]

I have two important questions. Absolutely vital. Critical. Urgent, even, really.

Donna. Do you have any idea who just arrived in town?

Second, and absolutely every bit as essential:

Rose Tyler. May I have this dance?

[Oho look at her surprise and ensuing excitement!] Really? Sherlock Holmes? Are we going now?

[allons_y_alonso]

Still have to get him to agree to it! But if he does...

Doesn't seem to have the cap, though. And Watson has a blog. Had, I mean, even before he came here.

Still, even if they're not precisely as advertised....

What should we get him to say?

[Gaaah, she deflates in disappointment a bit at the lack of the cap.]

...D'you think we can get him to wear it? And how d'you mean he's got a blog? They're Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson from another time?

[Oh oh oh. Is this another contest, Doctor? She chews her lip and grins after a moment.] I want t'hear him say 'Elementary, Dear Watson'!

[allons_y_alonso]

No good, I'm afraid. He never actually said it that way in the stories. "Elementary," yes, and "my dear Watson," but never both at once... besides, given that they're more modern than Victorian, 'my dear Watson' might be out altogether. Unless... well... you know...

[Pfffffffffffffffft. But!] S'pose we could get 'Elementary', then? [Bah but still kind of disappointing, Doctor.]

[allons_y_alonso]

Almost definitely!

Right. Thrown down the gauntlet, offered him proof... now I just have to wait for his reply.

I do have a back-up plan, just in case.

Does it involve ambush?

[allons_y_alonso]

I thought maybe Doctor Watson would be good enough to have a listen to my heart murmur.

[lone-defender.livejournal.com]

[...Bwah back to beaming.] Where are you? I want to be there.

[allons_y_alonso]

My apartment. I was thinking about just riding the TARDIS over, but that feels like cheating. Save the best for last, and all.

Leading with the TARDIS might be a bit anticlimactic, yeah. Might have more effect, but the rest of the things'll be less fun. I'll be right there.
