Title: To Top it Off, No One Believes Me
Characters: Jo Grant, Mike Yates
Rating: G
Summary: Post-Peladon, Jo finally gets a dinner out with Mike.

--
“Really! I can’t tell you how nice and normal this is,” Jo said, sipping at her drink.

Captain Yates smiled, reaching for more wine. “Well, I’m sure ‘normal’ isn’t the sort of term many apply to working with the Doctor.”

“Right. One minute you’re going on a pleasant night out then the next thing you know you’re trying to reason with a shrieking six-armed pickle wearing a curtain…”

“A what? Did you say pickle?” His hand stopped, mid-pour.

“Shrieking. One-eyed. Pickle.”  She hiccupped, nodding. “That is my grievance, your majesty.”

“Errr…right. Miss Grant, I better take you home now.”

Oh, poor Jo!

[primsong]

She did have a bit of an unusual adventure, considering she had intended to merely go out on a date. No doubt she's sworn off pickles for life.

Oh that was a delight to read!

[primsong]

Thank you! She probably dealt with it better than Mike would have.

I've been wondering what Jo thought of Alpha Centauri :)

[primsong]

Being Jo, she probably thought it was a lovely shade of green and would recommend a little fashionable hat with daisies on it to complete the effect.

[primsong]

Oh yes, didn't she though? ;-D Thanks, I truly enjoy Jo's sweet natured dealing with whatever came her way.
