Ficlet - Sonic, Sarah Jane Smith/(&)Harriet Jones (Doctor Who)

[Sonic] - Sarah Jane Smith/(&)Harriet Jones
for the zombiepocalypse weekend

When it began, Sarah Jane chose not to panic. Zombies were nothing new to her, after all, and ones that spread the virus through staggering about and biting people were an improvement, really. At the very least, they were vastly more obvious than those who devoured brains through video games or highly sugared sodas, and they could be dispatched with the careful application of a cricket bat.

She knew better than to trust the government to deal with it in any sort of successful manner, however, and when Mr Smith alerted her to the Prime Minister's open message to the Doctor, she was far from surprised. The magic words ("I'm a friend of the Doctor") gave her entrance to 10 Downing Street, and no sooner had the aide left the room than she was outlining her plan.

"There's no way to contact him?" Harriet asked, twisting her hands around the handle of her own bat.

"We don't need him. We know what he'd do. He'd find the conveniently close headquarters of the brains, pardon the expression, behind the invasion. He'd talk a lot, and then he'd do something tricky with his screwdriver." Sarah Jane flicked open her lipstick -- "Why he couldn't give me a screwdriver too, I've no idea" -- and took Harriet's hand, pulling her towards the door. "We're not going to talk, so it's going to go much faster for us."

I haven't the faintest clue about Dr. Who, but this was charming and hilarious anyway. *heart*

what you should know about these two is they'd make great slayers in my "older potentials activated" imaginary ficathon ;)

and, thank you :) if it helps, i am struggling with a "heroes" one as well, but i'm starting to wonder if i'm ever going to get anywhere with it.

You know, I actually would have guessed that, just from this little piece. Hee. :) And yay Heroes!! I'll cross my fingers.

the real reason i want to see harriet as a slayer is because i think she'd introduce herself every time then too. "harriet jones, vampire slayer" and all the vamps are like "SIGH. WE KNOW. can we get to the fighting already?" and she is all, "oh, right!"

HA! That was just absolutely brilliant. That cap of the ficlet = perfection.
