 My tags are being odd - apologies for the confusion!  Travels_in_time and Merfilly are also under the cuts.

Lolmac prompts:
Three had an affair with Ramona. Due to an unexpected time travel incident involving Percy and Jamie, Siegfried is actually their child. Write about - the birth, attended by Fiver

Three, meeting up with the grown-up and lovely Miss Ramona Quimby, finds something of a kindred spirit in her imagination and goodhearted rebellious streak.  They hadn’t been traveling together long before an ill-thought-out dalliance on Ramona’s part in the midst of the French Revolution (with a dashing member of Percy’s League named Tony) brings about a ‘little bun in the oven’. 

Three is fussy as a grandmother over her and says he will accept the child as if it were his own to preserve her social reputation, but as she still insists on hiding the pregnancy from those who know her in her own time, he agrees to take her back to the turn of the century. There Siegfried is born, having Three as his adoptive (though usually absent) father.  His unplanned birth during a country picnic on the Downs being attended by a psychic rabbit was greatly influential on the boy’s life and later led to his being a veterinarian, albeit an eccentric one with a tendency to get into trouble thanks to the influence of his odd parentage.

(This one was complicated enough to iron out – I gave up on getting Jamie in there too.)

Jamie and Jo go to Ramona's Halloween party. What costumes do they wear? 

Seeking where in the world Two and Three went, Jamie and Jo go looking for them the last place they saw them, in among a lot of costumed people at Ramona’s party.  It’s a good thing Jamie is already in a kilt, as everyone seems to accept this as a costume though he isn’t sure why (and asking about it just makes Jo giggle). 

Jo, who loves dressing up, gets together with some of the girls.  They plunder their dressup clothing and with creative application of green tights and a white tutu produce Jo dressed as a daisy.  Jamie declares Jo is the daisiest daisy he’s ever seen and the two of them spend a fun evening eating candy, bobbing for apples and dancing to the Monster Mash (played extra fast, then extra slow on the record player) while the Doctors have a convoluted encounter with aliens (who just happen to resemble Ramon’s rubber witch mask) hiding in the bushes outside.
 

At a public event, Mrs. Pollifax surprises Keehar. What happens?

“YARK! YARK! YARK! YARK!”

“Oh no, my best hat!”

The longstanding friendship between Little John and Horatio Hornblower ends when Horatio helps Percy save the civilised world in a questionably ethical manner. Fiver is implicated in the crisis. The Master tries to reconcile them. What happens?

Percy saves the world from a terrible plague in which the White Blindness was affecting the human race, but only with the help of Hornblower and his ship. Hornblower embarks on a grueling round-the-globe voyage to purchase (or occasionally steal) for him a truly astounding number of rabbits from every port of call using Fiver as a opulently-cared-for pet to convince the rabbits and their owners that it will be safe for them. 

They are rewarded by Percy indeed managing to finally discover the cure (with the help of a traveling Doctor) in spite of the terrible deaths of thousands upon thousands of rabbits, the grief of hundreds of pet owners and the serious downturn in business for Little John’s restaurant chain which had heavily relied upon sales of rabbit pasties. 

Little John, finding Horatio was instrumental in the loss of his rabbits, is sternly disappointed in his friend and challenges him to a bout with quarterstaffs.  They set out to battle, only to have a strange gentleman in dark clothing knock both of them unconscious with a little firearm that went “tweeble tweeble tweeble” instead of “bang”.  When they awake, they are united in friendship once again against a common enemy and spend the next two weeks fruitlessly searching for the dark-clad man to “beat him til his head hums like a hive of bees on a hot June day” (or so John declared).

Travels_in_time suggests:

Hornblower and Siegfried are forced to get married for some reason. Which of them is all for it, and which of them is secretly sabotaging everything they can think of? 

Siegfried and Hornblower have been stranded on an obscure and uncivilised island after the loss of their ship (Siegfried: “You should have listened to me! No smoking near the powder kegs!”  Hornblower: “You were the one who was smoking!”)

By the time they are discovered on the beach, the natives recognize the remains of a naval uniform about Hornblower being of masculine origin, but as Siegfried’s blonde hair has grown long they decide he must be a very strange variety of woman.  The chief then insists the two of them must be wed by some local tribal custom, or die as unwed couples are not permitted out on the beaches.  Seigfried is notably bent out of joint by this situation and tries to sabotage it, but Hornblower, who will do anything to survive, is all for survival. (Hornblower: “Be still. If you don’t do this, I’ll kill you myself.”)

Ramona has to adopt a child. Which of the other characters do they ask for help, and why?

Ramona, hearing about a classmate whose family is adopting a baby, decides she will adopt her dolls, Bendix and Chevrolet.  Finding herself at a loss as to how grown-ups go about such things, decides to ask the help of an older girl at the playground.  Molly is glad to help her make up some imaginary legal papers.  They borrow a legal-size pad of paper from a passing businessman who keeps pausing to talk into his tie, talk into his cuff and talk into his shoe.

Merfilly:

Tell me why Ramona would ever want to catch Maxwell Smart’s attention, but Molly would have to interfere?

Max (having decided there was something strange in the situation with the doll adoptions he witnessed in the park) has taken an assignment to go undercover as a teacher in Ramona’s grade school. Ramona, after witnessing a boy hovering up by the ceiling in the girl’s bathroom, runs to tell Max, who decides it sounds very fishy. (“The old flying in the bathroom trick!”) Max goes to investigate, but Molly interferes. Molly knows its actually Peter who is only in there to catch a wayward Tink (Tink is fascinated with the mirror and soap bubbles); she doesn’t want Max to discover him – and besides, Max doesn’t belong in the girl’s bathroom any more than Peter does.

Brewsternorth prompts:

Percy and Three are members of a fandom. Who is the troll and who is the BNF?

Three is the BNF – he could hardly be else, with his flamboyance, love of the camera and forthright opinionating.  (common fan: OMG! Ruffles3? I’m like, totally a fan of your blog, you always know what’s going to happen before it, like, happens, you know?).  He no doubt gains access to the fandom’s celebrities and gathers signatures by means of his impeccable wardrobe and authoritative statements. (“Ah good, I see we’re on the air. Pardon me, I’ll just take this seat next to you so the main camera will catch my good side.  What? Of course I’m supposed to be on today’s show, I’m a Doctor!  Now, if you’ll just sign this paper…”)

Percy is the troll, but no one knows it, especially considering how that blasted ScarletPimpernel63 has been insulting the goodhearted-but-simple BlakeneyLuvsMaggie yet again! Really! He lives for the days he can get a cranky response out of Ruffles3, especially if it’s in defense of his own sock-puppet.

What a perfect way to get the Master to reconcile them - a common enemy!

He would, wouldn't he? (grin)

[primsong]

Yes indeed he would!

I loved a lot of these, but I think my favourite's the one with Jamie and Jo dancing. Cuteness overload, as I believe you once said.

[primsong]

I so agree - those two together... it just brings out the chibi side of Who when I even contemplate it. ^_^
