The curly-furred chocolate-colored puppy trotted across the workshop, tail held high. At the bench, the Doctor tinkered with his latest gadget. The puppy sat back on its haunches and gave an engaging yip.
"In a minute," said the Doctor. "Hand me the 2B micro-wrench, there's a good fellow."
The puppy whined.
"What?" The Doctor looked up. "Oh, I see, you're being a puppy today. Yes, very cute. You know the TARDIS translates dog, right? Well, run along, if you're not going to help. This neutron flow won't reverse its own polarity, you know."

Captain Jack Harkness used to be the most feared salty buccaneer on the seven seas.
Ever since he took up with the Doctor, he's been a lot less terrifying. Hasn't been relieving people of much property lately. (Except their vessel, and from the way the good ship TARDIS handles, you'd think it wanted to be stolen.) In fact, when he adds up the numbers, over the past six months they've given more than they've taken...granted, it's mostly in jelly babies, but still.
Jack finds he's kind of starting to like it.

Jack tore off his hairnet, massaged his throbbing temples, and dragged the Doctor into the break room.
"We had another customer storm out vowing never to try any place other than Starbucks again! Why can't you just make their orders the way they ask, huh? Why do you have to keep trying to 'surprise' them with your 'secret ingredient'?"
The Doctor looked at him with a wide-eyed lost-puppy expression. "How can these people not like celery?"

"You mean," said Jack, trying his very hardest not to drool, "you had female sexual organs in all your previous regenerations?" Unspoken went: and you never told me?
"Oh, don't be such an idiot," snapped the Doctor. "I said I was female. Kept trying to get a body to match; thought that was the way to do it. Didn't expect to regenerate with the same bits and my head screwed on differently, but it works just as well, I suppose. Do wipe your mouth, it's very undignified. Before you ask, no, you may not see them, and if I find you sneaking around while I'm in the shower I'll have the TARDIS chuck you out an airlock."
