Summary: “Can I have your phone number, Romana?”
The first time Rani met Maria in the flesh they were locked in an impregnable cell about to be executed by the Slitheen.
“Nice to meet you in person,” said Maria, giving Rani a little hug.
“Yeah. Sorry, but how did you get here?” Raxacoricofallapatorius was a distance away from America.
“Romana brought me,” said Maria, nodding at the leggy brunette who was prodding at the door with two sonic screwdrivers. Her own and one she'd purloined from the Doctor. “She said it was a lovely spot for a holiday.”
“And it was, in E-Space,” said Romana without looking around.
“How was E-Space?” asked the Doctor, who'd been sulking in a corner.
“I've told you,” replied Romana haughtily, “that you can talk to me when you are able to adequately explain wiping out most of our race.”
Maria broke the awkward silence by nudging Rani and saying, “So, that's the Doctor?”
Rani looked over at where the Doctor was sitting in the corner of their cell, sulking about having his sonic screwdriver stolen and the fact that the only other survivor of his species wouldn't talk to him. “Yeah.”
“I don't know why, but I expected him to look different.”
“He's brilliant,” said Rani, slightly defensively. “He saved the entire universe twice last week.” She leaned into Maria and whispered conspiratorially, “His haircut did once get us imprisoned on Callisto, and there was a family in the twenty third century who wanted to adopt him.”
Maria laughed. “Romana nearly got us executed once because she claimed to be more intelligent that every single person in a solar system. Put together.”

Hours later and Romana was still working on the locks, the Doctor was still giving her soppy looks and Maria and Rani were talking about Sarah Jane.
“Sarah Jane was the one who convinced me to go with the Doctor,” said Rani. “She said it was too good an opportunity to pass up.”
“She was right, wasn't she?”
“Today it seems like it's going to be a good opportunity to be dipped in acid and killed.”
“Not anymore,” said Romana as the lock clicked and the cell door swung open. “Come along, Maria.”
“Have you got a pen?” Maria asked.
Rani, who had never quite got over the desire to become a journalist, produced a biro from her pocket. Maria scrawled her phone number on the back of Rani's hand,
“Give me a call sometime.”
“Can I have your phone number, Romana?” The Doctor called after her retreating figure. There was no response. “Can I have my sonic screwdriver back, then?”
The screwdriver came flying back through the air.
