Status: Complete

She was starting to like this planet -- just a little bit. A lot actually. Not to say she wanted to stay indefinitely, but she could keep herself occupied for some time if the planet continued to provide her with chemicals and substances of various explosive qualities from any planet she could think of. Chemicals she'd never been able to get her hands on before. Not to mention any kind of equipment she needed.

Of course, she probably looked more then a little goofy wheeling a little red wagon full of god knows what across the grounds, but she figured she shouldn't play with her new things in doors. Ace didn't want to accidentally blow the resort up. So she set up by the lake -- far enough away that people wouldn't be hurt, horses wouldn't be spooked, and if anything went wrong there was loads of water around. A small fold out table, two small burners, glass bottles of different colored liquids, blocks of X-27 (her favorite; an alien type of C-4...only better) and things she didn't even recognize.

The brunette was a self taught chemist. Perhaps not very safe, but she was very clever. Setting down a few marble sized explosives, her very own nitro9 (more like nitro-422, she was forever improving it, but nitro9 just had such a nice ring to it.) to compare with whatever she made.

It had been light out when she started, but when it came to explosives time just flew by so quickly. As much as she would've liked to continue -- she'd made it this long without incident, but playing with explosives at night would just be pushing her luck. Ace opted to finish playing with this last one before packing up, and wouldn't it just be her luck that this one would backfire on her. She was chucked back a few feet with the tips of her bangs singed a bit and her left hand a bit burnt, but otherwise unharmed and witness to an interesting display of fire works. The X-27, a touch of astrolite, and some red liquid she didn't recognize didn't just burst into flame -- it rocketed up in to the sky and exploded, sending down a shower of red, gold, and yellow sparks. Very pretty but with the potential to be very harmful if not for the force shield generator on her wrist to keep them from touching her, and with it she was able to bandage up her hand and watched the fireworks safely enough.

The Doctor had spent his day very unproductively, unless trying to confuse the restaurant staff by ordering dishes from all across the universe counted as productive. He'd even been quite impressed by their attempts at serving up some Gallifreyan specialties; they were clearly off-world replicas, but it was enough to keep him amused at the least.

The day seemed to draw to an end rather quickly, and by the time the sun started to dip below the horizon the Doctor decided it was high time he went to take another look at the TARDIS. If he could at least convince it to move in-planet he could explore Mirage a bit more fully, head out into the desert and see what was happening off the beaten-track.

Still, the Doctor was quite easily distracted, and on hearing a number of explosions followed by what could only be described as a fireworks display, he was intrigued. He followed the lights, giddy with the excitement of what he might have stumbled upon. Once he was close enough to spy the cause of the explosions, the Doctor's eyebrows quirked and his lips slipped into one of his signature smiles. It was the most obvious culprit.

"Should have known it was you. Some things never change," he called out, announcing his presence as he approached his old friend.

Ace sent a side long glance over her shoulder at hearing some one near, catching sight of the Doctor. She wasn't surprised the display had drawn someone's attention, explosions tended to do that, but it sounded like he knew her. Maybe she just heard wrong -- very possible as her ears were still ringing a bit -- because she certainly didn't recognize the man, and during her talk with Rose it had never been said that he'd regenerated, just his clothes had changed, and honestly she couldn't remember what the blond had said he was wearing now. The idea of her Professor in a leather jacket had stuck, and was to amusing to be bothered with anything else.

"I'd keep back a bit, slim. At least until they stop falling. They'll leave a nasty burn." She warned, rising to her feet as she spoke, and watching the last of the explosion fizzle off into nothing. After which she moved to clean up, expecting the other to leave her be now that the show was over. Not that she was anti-social or anything, but some of the embers had fallen on the table and it's contents, and she didn't want another accidental explosion so it took priority over some stranger.
