Its hard to have trust issue when there is no trust at all.

So he'd been here for roughly a week now and within that week, he'd only been here in a helping capacity, not because he felt any needed to stay, of course. The Doctor was meant to be fixing their minds, they weren't here to have tea together and chat about the universe and their own moral and philosophical beliefs. Even if they had done so twice,

"OI! I do not run like a girl!" the Master yelled, not willing to admit that yes, sometimes he did happen to run a bit like a girl... maybe it was because his hands flailed, maybe it was because he kicked his heels but it wasn't that bad.

At least... at least-- err, he didn't have stupid hair! Well, he could be childish too!

Running very consciously, he caught up the Doctor and offered him a glare before sliding his hands into his pockets to keep them safe. "Ye, yes, abandoned planets are never dangers and inhabited by dangerous creatures. Thats only happens like, what? Thousand and one times!"

It was like the Doctor was asking to get them into trouble.

"You do, you do, you do, you do, do, do, do!" the Doctor said, humming happily to the drums as he sonicked the door open. "And there we are, emergency lighting even seems to be on!" This was not a terrible thing to the Doctor, as the lights blinked on with their presence and hadn't been on already. The hallways lit up for them each time they turned a corner or opened a door and the Doctor made it a secret game every other turn to try and beat the light.

It was like watching a dog with three legs...a train wreck but sweetly and painfully loveable.

"Ooh! More handprints! Master, let's see if your fit any of them!"

[themastereffect]

While boy wonder ran around, leaping about to catch the lights and singing to himself, the Master kept up his guard, checking over each corridor they step into as critical as he could. He supposed that the drums were distracting the Doctor but not him, he could see what was happening. He could tell by the fresh blood prints that this couldn't be deserted unless it was very recent.

"I'm bored of this now, lets leave. If we leave now then I'll show you a more interesting planet. There are wild indigenous people who'd stone you to death for wearing pinstripe," he suggested with a bright smile, hoping to tempt him away from what he assumed was a death trap.

There was a sudden noise ahead of them, like heavy equipment toppling over and the bang actually made him jump. Though he managed to cover it well.

Ah great, that would probably be his horror-film badguy!

*squee* Master makes me so happy! *true love!*

[notsoperfect10]

"We're not attractive blonds!" the Doctor called out suddenly, back tracking to the Master to put his hands on his shoulders. "I'd like to go back to the TARDIS now, change into my brown suit, and visit the anti-pinstripe planet, if that's all right with yo--"

"Now now now." The voice was familiar. The sneer to it grating. "Now boys, you just got here."

The Doctor didn't turn around, he just blinked down into the Master's eyes.

"Look around my arm very, very slowly and if that voice belongs to the Rani, run like hell!"

He is made of awesome! He makes me all smiley ^____^

[themastereffect]

"Little too late! I told you we should of gone about an hour ago. This is your fault."

Oh no. That was not a good sound. The Master was just as frozen as the Doctor. That voice, his skin was quite literally crawling as he very very slowly leaned past the Doctor's arm and--

Bollock!

Shoving the Doctor into the womens direction, off he scampered, not even stopping to bat an eyelid. His worse experiences all came flooding back to him. The tentacle monster, the love potion, the weird formula that made him lose his eyesight, the mutant rats, hanging upside down, the slime that encased his arm and half his chest... he could go on all day with the trauma's he'd suffered. Screw the Doctor, every man for himself!

He is my ultimate favorite. We will unleash the pair on SWS for Halloween.

[notsoperfect10]

((PS... I read this while sipping water....and it went up my nose and I had to run to the bathroom. XD))

"He..." The Doctor blinked at the blond as he disappeared around the corner. He probably even beat the lights. That was the sort of luck that the Master had. "See! Just like a girl!"

Pouting to himself, he turned back to the dark haired woman looking exactly as he remembered her last and tilted his head to the side. "Doctor? Oh, it is you."

Her tone was worrying. "Hello!" he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Nice to see you. Back me up here, he runs like a girl doesn't he? Oh, love the place really. I'll be going now!"

He ran. But so did she. And given the way that the Master ran, both Time Lord and Time Lady behind him quickly caught up.

YES! We need to totally do something awesome.

[themastereffect]

((Oh noez! Monkie is sorry for accidental water inhale D: the horror!))

So perhaps running as fast as he did didn't work much these days considering how weak his body was but he tried. He ran as fast as his short legs would take him before he turned his head to the side to look behind and check if anyone was following.

Oh. The Doctor wasn't behind him. He was bloody at his side! How the-- that wasn't fair.

"I do not run like a girl, stop telling people that," the Master hissed, shoving the Doctor into the wall, trying to leave him behind with his worst nightmare.

"Master? Are you seriously running away? I though that was the idiot over there's job, not yours."

Fumbling, the Master skidded to an awkward halt, his chest heaving as he gave both Time Lords his best 'death glare'. "I'm not running away... I'm tactically removing myself from the situation."

We must go and steal the candies!

[notsoperfect10]

The Doctor must have thought his suit was made out of rubber with the way that he bounced off of the wall first and then into the Master. Well, tha final bounce was more like a sprawl and the two of them tangled limbs and went down just as the Rani caught up, boots clicking on the metallic floor.

"She's going to eat us!" the Doctor cried out nonsensically and buried his face into the Master's shoulder.

That caused the approaching woman to pause. "Really. Managed to find each other again did you? And here, I thought I was the only one left."

((Be home in an hour!))

From small children and the weak!

[themastereffect]

Looking up from the Doctors tangled form, he frowned upwards at the Rani before attempting to pry the Doctor off. This is exactly why he stopped attending those ridiculous reuinons. Theta was an idiot and Ushas was terrifying. And now here they were, the Doctor and the Rani, still annoying!

"We didn't find each other, he stalked me to the end of the world," the Master protested as he shoved the Doctor away and pulled himself into a sitting position. God lord, she was potentially the most terrifying female he'd come across.

Why couldn't she of perished in the Time War?

"The only one left? How is it that you two are so egotistical that you believed you were the last of the last and yet I didn't and I'm seen as the one with a raging narcissist problem?"

[notsoperfect10]

"In case you didn't notice, the entire planet burned along with everyone on it," the Rani said, smirking lightly as she stalked forward again, watching the pair of Time Lords roll around on the floor until they managed to extract each other from themselves. "Are you two finished?"

The Doctor had the raw end of the deal and was laying face first on the floor, butt up in the air. "No...ow..." he said, the sound of the drums almost pulsing out of his head. "I need a lay down..."

The Rani snorted. "How about you two come and see what I've been doing? Have some tea?"

"I don't want to die!" the Doctor piped up and the Time Lady frowned.

"You broke Theta Sigma."

[themastereffect]

"I didn't break him, he broke himself. Its his own fault. He violated my mind while I was dying. He mind-raped me! I'm the victim here, he's just an idiot." The Master complained, pulling himself to his feet and giving the Doctor a good booting for good measure. He was such a baby sometimes, it was just a little drum beats... that could potentially drive a man to suicide.

Grabbing a handful of the Doctors jacket, he tried his best to haul the distressed Time Lord away from their worse nightmare.

"He stole my drums, remember the drums? 'Oooh crazy Koschei, they're not real.' Well, he's my proof. Pawn of the Time Lords, thats who I am! Ha!" Taking a mock bow, the Master tried to drag the Doctor away and run at the same time. Course he just ended up slipping on his gripless boots and tumbling down with the Doctor only moved an inch.

Still, at least he got to rub in the fact that the drums were real. Take that Deca! And his parents! Annnnnd, pretty much everyone else he knew.

[notsoperfect10]

The Rani was unamused. "You're a little liar."

Shaking his head, the Doctor grumbled that he wasn't. He could prove it-- But the Rani didn't want to hear it. She was in no mood for things like this. Despite now knowing that she wasn't alone, it hardly seemed to matter to her that her research had been interrupted. Again.

"Get up. I mean it. Get up you two. I won't have you flouncing around when there's work to be done!"

[themastereffect]

When there's work to be done? That word triggered back so many bad memories that he was pretty sure he just whimpered unintentionally. He hated that phrase. Thats what she said before the mutant hamsters and the blinding potion. And he was pretty sure she uttered it during the dinosaur incident. It usually meant one of them would become a guinea pig for her.

Tugging the Doctor and himself to their feet, he tried his best to look well presented, sneering at the Rani before no so subtly pushing the Doctor ahead to use him as a shield.

"I'd rather be a liar than a mad bitch like yourself. And frankly, I'm ever so thrilled to be neither."

Well, excluding the mad part. He hadn't been sane for a long time. Sane men didn't sit in a junk yard and discuss the futility of life with a rat he'd nickname Plato.

[notsoperfect10]

There he was, being pushed to the front of the line again! He grinned for a split section before he felt the pulse of the Master's fear slip into him. The Rani was terrifying, but he had forgotten exactly why until the memory was forced through the annoying little bond that they had between them.

The Doctor's eyes narrowed as he focused on the mortified Rani. He jerked one arm outward as if to protect the Master.

It was something Thete had often done when they were children.

"I think you should go back the way you came," he said, softly. Dangerously. It usually meant someone was getting their head smacked in in a moment.

[themastereffect]

Oh Rassilon, he was going nutty again. Rubbing his eyes with a small groan of annoyance, he shoved the Doctors hand out of the way indignantly. He wasn't Koschei, he didn't need protecting. If anything, the Doctor needed him!

"Aww, isn't this sweet? You guys made up and now its Theta and Koschei again?"

The Master sighed and threw his head back, the Doctor was determined to make them look like kids again. "No, no, no, no! Not friend, not at all. He's just a little loopy. Oh yes! And he is known to attack like a rabid dog so I'd do as he says."

And of course, the Rani didn't. She just stood there in front of them with a bored expression.
