It had been quite a walk to get there, but he'd made it. First, though, he'd had to make sure his TARDIS was safely concealed in the city - he didn't want the Master getting it, after all - and slip past the guards unnoticed. Frankly, that hand't gone very well, and he'd ended up in a long and winding conversation about the virtues of stardust in relation to archaic temporal engines just to confuse the guard enough to sneak out. Then it had been a long-ish walk to the church, where he had to remember which door gave him access to the Pride Lands. That had been easy, of course, with his memory. The next bit had been distinctly more difficult, what with unexpectedly turning into a zebra and all.

The Doctor cried out in surprise, stumbling and crashing into the ground, his ears pricking up in alarm. He slowly got to his feet (well hooves), knees wobbling as he tried to get used to the shift in weight. "Blimey," he said to himself, shaking his head, "Jenny must like it here." He grinned, then, as much as he was able to; he was a zebra! A zebra in the Pride Lands! This was just brilliant!

Laughing joyfully, the Time Lord-turned-zebra did his best to trot off in what he hoped was the direction of a decent watering hole.

Having become an expert at escaping the city, it didn't take long for Jenny to get passed the guards and then arrive at the Pride Lands, a place that had quickly become one of her favorite places to hang out in. The moment she stepped foot through the door, she felt the difference as she turned into a blue-eyed leopard, and having gotten much practice at it, was quickly off at a run in the direction of the watering hole to meet up with her father. She honestly couldn't wait to see what animal he'd become and therefore didn't even pay attention to the trotting zebra when she ran past it.

As soon as she'd arrived, she quickly climbed up into the branches of a tree nearby in order to get a better view and keep an eye out for her father, her tail twitching in excitement.

Oh. Oh, dear. That was a predator, wasn't it? But she'd run right past him, which meant that maybe she wasn't looking for a meal. Therefore, he cleared his throat and, awkwardly attempting to run in order to catch up with her. A few stumbles and a tumble later, he was there. "Er, excuse me, miss. Ma'am," he asked her, a bit nervously. "Sorry. I'm looking for my daughter. I don't know what she looks like here, and she's quite possibly not a zebra, but would you happen to have found someone who, say, likes running?"

Here's hoping he wouldn't be eaten, and that Jenny had some way of recognizing him when she got there. But near the hollow of his throat, there was an odd joining of stripes that may have looked a bit like a bow tie, if one was paying attention. The Doctor nervously scratched at the ground with a hoof as he waited for an answer.

Cocking her head, Jenny observed the Zebra as it addressed her, taking in it's rather unusual markings, but she didn't need to markings to recognize the voice that was speaking to her, and instantly managed a Leopard version of a smile before leaping down from the tree to stand beside him in a rather graceful manner.

"I can't believe it, you're actually a zebra. Who would have expected that?" She said with a chuckle. "And sorry, I didn't mean to just pass by you like that, dad. But I really didn't know you looked like here. So, what do you think? Being here is quite the experience, don't you think? I personally love it!"

Oh, so his daughter was a leopard! Funny; he'd sort of expected a cheetah, what with his daughter's love of running. But to be honest, he hadn't known what to expect, either. Instantly, the Doctor grinned. "Jenny!" he exclaimed, rearing up a bit in his excitement and nearly falling over again in the process. He could already tell this was going to take some getting used to.

"I dunno, but I really wasn't expecting this. I sort of thought I'd just be the same." Then again, he'd transformed a bit in Halloween Town, but nothing like this. "But you're right; this is brilliant! I love this place already."

"Well, I knew you wouldn't be expecting it, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise. I'm sure you can see why." As far as she was concerned, ruining the surprise would have taken some of the fun out of it.

"I have to admit, using four legs takes some getting used to, but once you've got it down, it just add to the fun of the place."

"I can definitely see why," replied the Doctor, swishing his tail. "I'm a zebra! I wasn't expecting that - I wasn't expecting anything, really. I dunno, maybe a lemur?" Then again, a lemur better fit his past self, all curious and chatty. Really, he didn't know why he was thinking about that.

"I'm glad it's you, though. Can you imagine if I'd run into someone else like this?" He chuckled a little, shifting his weight to test his balance - no, wait, that was a terrible idea. And while he didn't mention it, he knew Scar, at least, was around, and he definitely didn't want to run into him.
