"Come on! You're losing them!" The Doctor shouted, urging the driver to move faster.
"Everything in order, Mr. Dickens?"
"No, it is not!"
"What did he say?" I asked.
"Let me say this first, I am not without a sense of humour-"
"Hold on a minute. Charles Dickens?"
"Yes."
"Should I remove the pair of them sir?" The driver asked.
"Charles Dickens! You sir, are absolutely brilliant." I told him. "I've read all of your works. Great Expectations, Oliver Twist."
"What's the other one, the one with the ghost?" The Doctor asekd.
"Christmas Carol?"
"No, still one of my favorites though!" I replied. "You're thinking of The Signalman."
"Ah, yes, the one with the trains. Terrifying! The best short story ever written!"
"You're a genius!"
"Do you want me to get rid of them, sir?"
"Uh, no, I think they can stay." Charles replied.
"Honestly, Charles, I can call you Charles, right?" I asked. " We are such massive fans."
"Uh, you're a what? A big what?"
"Fan. Number one fans, that's us." The Doctor said.
"How exactly are you two a 'fan'? In what way do you resemble a means of keeping oneself cool?" I nodded.
"Sorry, so sorry. Cultural differneces. Fan is short for fanatic." I explained.
"Man, i've got to say, taht American bit in Martin Chuzzlewit, what's that about? Was that just padding, or what, that was rubbish that bit."
"I thought you said you were my fan."
"Oh well, if you can't take criticism..."
"Doctor, no offence, but i think Charles Dickens knows more about writing then you do."
"Thank you...what did you say your name was again."
"Katherine." I told him.
"Come on, do the death of little Nell, cracks me up."
"Not now, Doctor. Could we go faster please!" I called.
"Who exactly is in that hearse?" Charles quesitoned.
"Our friend. She's only nineteen, it's our fault. She's in our care and now she's in danger."
"Yes, because that hasn't happened before." I poitned out.
"Why are we wasting my time talking about dry old books? This is much more important. Driver! Be swift! The chase is on!"
"Yes sir!" I smiled.
"We're in a coach with Charles Dickens." I whispered in the Doctor's ear. He nodded, grinning at me, wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Attaboy, Charlie."
"Nobody calls me Charlie."
"The ladies do." The Doctor told him.
"How do you know that?"
"I told you, we're your number one-"
"Number one fans. I know."
