“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.”

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.
