You haven't suddenly become over 18, whatever body you're in.

[riverborntorun]

Well why the hell not? It'd sure make this whole thing a lot easier to swallow! It's not like I can have a normal life, looking like this!

[themanwhodies]

We will figure it out, but I really don't think this is the time to argue about it!

[riverborntorun]

Fine!

[She's still a teenager, and it shows with how she huffs and crosses her arms. How long can she get away with giving him the silent treatment, she wonders.]

[themanwhodies]

[Probably not long on a good day. This is not a good day.]

Watch for those things.

[riverborntorun]

Thankyou, Captain Obvious.

[themanwhodies]

Excuse me?

[The 'young lady' is probably implied'.]

[riverborntorun]

[Shitshitshit Dad Mode Engaged.] I mean, yes, sir.

[themanwhodies]

Was your mother at the library today?

[riverborntorun]

Um, I think so. But she also said she was going shopping. I think she's trying to get you an anniversary present on time, for once.

[themanwhodies]

Really.

[That'd be something, wouldn't it. It certainly makes this more difficult.

Call her.

[Except, did anyone even bring the phone?]

[riverborntorun]

[Melody reaches inside her jacket, frowns, and then begins patting herself.] My phone, I thought I had...Where's my phone?

[That's a no.]

[themanwhodies]

I used it...dammit.

[Back at the house. On. To emergency services, which explains that ambulance driving by them.]

[riverborntorun]

[She watches the ambulance shoot past them.] ...Well, to look on the bright side of a really lousy day, at least that's one awkward conversation we're missing?

[themanwhodies]

Unless those things are still there when she gets home.

[riverborntorun]

Actually I was thinking of trying to explain to Emergency Services how your daughter got shot and suddenly doesn't need any medical care.

[themanwhodies]

That too.

[He blanches a little, remembering.]

[riverborntorun]

[And she notices that. And it makes her feel a little guilty.] Um, about that...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean for all that to...to happen. I was just trying not to hit you.

[themanwhodies]

It's my fault. I shouldn't have grabbed the gun.

[riverborntorun]

Well, yeah. I-I mean, no! You were just trying to protect me...or something. Probably.

[themanwhodies]

I was trying to shoot one of them.

[riverborntorun]

Right. Or that.

...I still don't get why you think they're bad.

[themanwhodies]

They're trying to kill the Doctor. Think of everything that he's done. He's everywhere. Everywhen.

[riverborntorun]

...So if it came down to it, would you shoot me, too?

[themanwhodies]

Of course not!
