A/N: A drabble for kensieg on her birthday. I hope it was a happy one.

"Doctor, when's your birthday?"

"Told you before, Rose, I don't--" Her reproachful eyes pierce his hearts. "Fifeenth Trekhet."

"When?"

"Alien, me -- remember? Eleventh month of the year on my planet."

"Oooh!" She jabs at the newspaper. "That makes you a Scorpio!"

"Astrology? That rubbish is straight out of the Middle Ages! Thought you had more sense."

"'Scorpios are determined, forceful individuals." she reads. "'They thirst for knowledge, but are secretive, and need to be in control...'"

"That fits," Jack says, grinning.

"'Their intense, magnetic sensuality makes them irresistible--'"

"'Course, primitive superstitions often have a core of truth in 'em..."

Nice to know the Doctor's ego hasn't diminished over the centuries. ;)

Some things are eternal. :-)

Hee! Cute! (Althogh what would she have done if he'd said the 20th month?)

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Asked him about the season, perhaps.

[wendymr.livejournal.com]

ROFL! Love how he decides to agree with it when it suits him... :)

One must be flexible in one's thinking. :-)

Thank you! It was lovely. Nice story. Nine is my favorite so far.

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it!

Hey, I'M a scorpio! *preens*

"'Course, primitive superstitions often have a core of truth in 'em..."
LOL!

Really? I used to collect Scorpios (my husband and two of my best friends at college). They make challenging but worthwhile pets. *grins and runs like hell*

Woo hoo I;m a Scorpio lol. Lovely little drabble and just so nine. Great little birthday present.

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad to have another Scorpio Seal of Approval. :-)

[gioiamia.livejournal.com]

LMAO!!! LOOOOOVE it! Oh, the ego!

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Oi! Determined and forceful, if you please...

:-)

[quean-of-swords.livejournal.com]

Oh, Scorpios. Hehe!

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Now that I think of it, Nine would make a convincing Scorpio...

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm a Scorpio! Awesome.

The Doctor's ego? Some things are just never going to change - actually, I might go so far as to say that some things are just Fact.
LOL.

It's hard to be modest when you're an utterly fantastic genius. :-)

[gaylordnine.livejournal.com]

So true.
Out of curiosity, have you figured out who my username could be said to refer to? If you haven't yet then I'm very disappointed in you.

[lindenharp.livejournal.com]

I rarely try to figure out usernames. The ones that aren't immediately obvious are often private jokes, references to some other fandom, or a combination of unrelated terms.

[gaylordnine.livejournal.com]

Aww. Want a clue? Think "Doctor Who". First season Rose called him gay, he's a lord and he was on his ninth body.
Childish, huh? I swear, I did try to resist. I just failed.

The reason I asked you is because your story was strongly about him - otherwise I wouldn't have thought it at all important.

First season Rose called him gay

When did she do that? In "The Doctor Dances" she implied that he might be asexual, but that's rather different.

[gaylordnine.livejournal.com]

Rose was only joking with him. I think it was the episode with the pig and the spaceship crashing into the Big Ben - Just before it crashed, while they were on a roof, I think, talking about the age gap between them. Anyways, My username is more along the lines of the first thing I came up with.
