Not again

Mar 16, 2010 23:30

Turlough rubbed his temples and stood unsteadily, wondering why he felt so bad. He'd made an appearance at the embassy do, as his brother had requested but he had carried a single glass of the local vintage around sipping at it for show. He much preferred to have his head about him during these functions ( Read more... )

"TURLOUGH!"

The Doctor's voice bellowed down the hallway. There was a face he hadn't expected (and ought not) see again. This place was getting odder by the moment.

He ran about halfway down the hall, then added: "DUCK!"

Turlough had no clue how the strange man knew his name, but experience had taught him that when people yelled DUCK, you ducked. He threw himself into a corner, hiding behind an upturned bit of metal shelving and waited for the all clear.

The Doctor, who had been having a go at Turlough, laughed as the man curled into a corner. He walked the rest of the way down the hall and held his hand out.

"Fantastic. Always wanted to do that. I was much too polite, though." He wiggled his hand a little. "Come on, get up then. Things to do, Mars to find out about."

Turlough glared and brushed the stranger's hand aside, privately resolving to get his own back at some as yet undetermined point in the future, provided that there was an opportunity to do so.

"And who might you be?" he asked the man icily as he stood up again with as much dignity as he could manage, given the circumstances.

"I might be the Doctor." He put as much of a hmmph into it as he possibly could. "And I might have just had a bit of fun at your expense. But only if I'm not the Doctor. If I am, I'd never have done such a thing it was absolutely vital that you duck."

He grinned. "How've you been?"

If it were the Doctor, a fact which Turlough gravely doubted, he would be reassured that everything might be fixed and he'd be home in time for breakfast.

He tried to parse the other man's meaning before giving up and glaring at him. "That makes no sense. Why was it absolutely vital that I duck? Or are you saying that only the Doctor would have pulled such a prank?"

If it were the Doctor, Turlough might right now be wondering why he hadn't used that rock so many years ago.
