Title: Rebuild that Sand Castle (it never fell)
Characters: Three, Sarah-Jane
Rating: G
Summary: Sarah-Jane may need a vacation from their vacation.  (set just after Death to the Daleks) 
--
Sarah-Jane picked up the discarded beach umbrella from the TARDIS floor and popped it open to give it dull regard.  Behind her the Doctor was already absorbed in dials and gauges.

She sighed. Sunshine and warmth seemed impossible. Unreachable. Tragically lost.

The umbrella suddenly spun, a rainbow of colours.  He peered around the edge to give her one of those charming, disarming smiles of his.

“Now, where were we?” he asked. “Ah yes! Sand! Sun! Effervescent oceans! Better hurry up and change.”

Dressing, she convinced herself than it was her own idea to do so; determination was her middle name.

Thank you! This made me sigh in nostalgia.

I really did enjoy Sarah with Three, they had a very nice dynamic together. I like to think she did finally get her effervescent vacation in the long run, and surely never looked back.

Sarah Jane and Three get so little attention, which is a shame. This was lovely.

She's usually outdone by Jo when my muse pops up, but I'm hoping to lure her out long enough for a ficlet at least.

"Let's see... no, that's not it. How about we go out and explore, shall we?...no? Oh, all right. *vworp vworp* How about now? Well, it's certainly interesting enough when you consider all of the volcanic glaciers and giant bugs. What do you say, Sarah? A bit of... No? No. *vworp vworp* Ah! See, I told you I'd find you some sun - you don't mind that there's no water, do you? You'd could dig in the sand. No? I see. Yes, I understand both the N and the O in "no"... *vworp vworp*....

bwahahaha!

From totally busy elsewhere to her being the undivided focus of his attention, that's *very* Three. Love it.

It is! He was always so completely devoted to whatever it was that really needed that complete devotion at the given moment, though the humans around him might have had other ideas of what was the important ones and when. Thanks for the comments!
