Are you my mummy?

He had been staying out of the Master's way as much as possible for the past week or so - it didn't take a brilliant mind like his to sort out that the Master didn't like him very well.  If it weren't for Rose, he was certain he'd have been dumped out into the nearest black hole they came across a long time ago.  As big as the TARDIS was, he knew that there was only room for one freak on the ship, as far as the Master was concerned.

John, however, was not as convinced. Already he had managed to completely avoid the Master, and had only ran into Rose and Jack once each. He just kept to himself, was careful when he went to the kitchen, and made sure any explosions he caused were quiet enough not to be noticed.

Two weeks without so much of a peek outside was absolutely driving him mad, though.  No matter how clever he was with avoiding everyone, he knew he couldn't leave the TARDIS without letting at least Rose know where he was - otherwise off they'd go and leave him stranded, just like they had done to Jack. The only problem was.. Rose was practically glued to the Master. He needed to figure out a plan to get Rose alone. Preferably a plan that didn't get him killed by the Master. Repeatedly.

And what better way to think than to make yourself a banana smoothie?
