Prompt: #473, apple
Word count: 250
Once there was a Mistress, known as Missy, and a River. In Germany's past, River went to study folktales, to see if they could be connected to Time Lords. Missy followed River there in her TARDIS.
Inside Missy's TARDIS, where few ever stayed, she made an apple with what she thought was a fatal poison. She was convinced it would be enough to kill River.
Missy dressed up as a peasant, grabbed a bunch of apples, put them in a basket, and found River near the University of Marburg.
"Are you hungry?" Missy asked. "I gotta get rid of these apples soon."
River grabbed and examined an apple. "Those apples don't look too good." She put the apple back in the basket.
Missy grabbed the apple and cut it in half. "Look, there's nothing wrong with this apple." She took a bite out of the apple and fell to the ground below.
River saw Missy before; she knew what Missy looked and sounded like. River turned the half of the apple that was poisoned to Missy before Missy could bite it.
River sighed as she went to Missy's side. "The Rani's right. You're unbalanced. But I care too much about our future to let you die." River kissed Missy, dislodging the bite stuck in her throat. As soon as Missy awoke, River was gone.
Their story would be elaborated on and their ages changed in retellings. But Snow White's tale was always River and Missy's tale to the Time Lords.
