Word count: 100
Rating: U
Warnings/Spoilers: None

When one considered how the last monarch had met his end, it was small wonder that we were nervous. 'Doctor John Smith' – well, Ruritania had had enough of mysterious Englishmen. Sapt, seeing bombs everywhere, misliked the look of his blue wooden box. My own superstitious heart sank at the sight of his red-haired companion. Still, we were glad enough when they cleared the cathedral of seven horned steel monster men with no weapons but a length of red ribbon and the golden anointing spoon. After all, it would have been a shame to let anything mar Queen Flavia's coronation.

What a great idea! For some reason, the Doctor and Ruritania seem to go perfectly together. Extra credit for Fritz, obviously. In my head he's in black and white, and looks like David Niven, but I don't suppose that matters to the Doctor. I very much like the idea of he and Colonel Sapt battling aliens, too. And perhaps the Doctor crossing swords with Rupert of Hentzau. :)
