Xena snarled, "You're not the Doctor!" and swung her sword.
"Wait!" Gabrielle screamed.
The sword paused at the man's neck.
"Remember the Doctor's different now from when we first met!" said Gabrielle. "Like another man entirely? Maybe he's changed again!"
"Maybe I haven't yet," offered the Doctor. "I don't recall meeting either of you charming ladies. Could you put your sword away please? This scarf shall already require mending, I'm sure."
After a moment Xena sheathed her blade. "He has the Doctor's nerve, and babbles like him."
THE END
