Torchwood (Entry Two of The Diaries of a Teenage Time Lady)

Tooth and Claw

I needed to write little innocent Anna. I'm sorry, my obituary was just way too odd to write.

Anyway, there's a werewolf in the house, and it turns out there is a story Anna doesn't like. :P

Enjoy "Tooth and Claw!"

"What do you think?" Rose asked as she came into the console room later. "Will it do?"

The Doctor looked over her denim mini-dungarees and snickered. "In the late 1970s? You'd be better off in a bin bag."

"No, she wouldn't!" Anna whined. "She looks nice!"

"Thank you!" Rose grinned.

"Hold on," the Doctor held up a CD. "Listen to this." He put it into the TARDIS console and started snapping his fingers as the song came up. "Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Number One in 1979."

"Why would they have blocks for heads?" Anna asked in confusion.

"You're a punk!" Rose laughed as the Doctor got into it.

"It's good to be a lunatic!" he sang.

"That's what you are!" Rose doubled over laughing. "A big old punk with a bit of rockabilly thrown in."

The Doctor straightened and smirked. "Would you like to see him?"

Rose blinked. "How do you mean, in concert?"

"What else is a TARDIS for?" the Doctor asked. "I can take you to the Battle of Trafalgar, the first anti-gravity Olympics - "

"Yes!" Anna squealed.

"I'll put it on the list," the Doctor promised, ruffling her hair, making her squeak. "Caesar crossing the Rubicon, or Ian Dury at the Top Rank, Sheffield, England, Earth, 21st November, 1979. What do you think?"

"Sheffield it is," Rose grinned.

"Hold on tight!" the Doctor pulled a lever.

Rose and Anna launched forward to do just that, the Doctor beating the rhythm of the song on the console. "Stop!" Rose laughed as he grinned crazily.

The TARDIS stopped suddenly, launching them all to the floor. Instead of hearing a pained cry, Anna burst into hysteric giggles, sending Rose into laughter next. The Doctor laughed, springing to his feet instantly, helping Rose up. "1979! Hell of a year! China invades Vietnam, The Muppet Movie - "

"I love that movie!" Anna grinned as she sat up, the Doctor and Rose helping her up.

"Margaret Thatcher," the Doctor grabbed his coat and put it on. "Urgh. Skylab falls to Earth, with a little help from me. Nearly took off my thumb. And I like my thumb," he added as an afterthought as he went outside. "I need my thumb. I'm very attached to - "

"Rose!" Anna screeched, hugging Rose's legs immediately as Rose's hands flew into the air.

The Doctor's did as well as rifles cocked all around them, and he looked around at the soldiers surrounding them in an open field. "My thumb," he finished before adjusting his stance so he blocked Anna from one side, Rose readjusting as well so she could protect Anna as well. "1879. Same difference."

"You will explain your presence," a man in a better quality uniform atop a horse ordered. "And the nakedness of this girl."

Rose looked down at herself, conceding that she did have a lot of skin showing for the 1800s, while Anna just frowned. "You're not naked."

Rose snorted and quickly schooled her expression just to normal when looks were thrown their way. "Are we in Scotland?" the Doctor suddenly asked, in a perfect Scottish brogue.
