Prompt 6/15 - Lyrics
Title: Wonderful Thing About Time Lords
Rating: General
Spoilers: Last three episodes of Series 3, with the Master
Characters: 10th Doctor, the Master
AN: This was one of the harder prompts for me, to pick one song that would work, and not be a song fic, which I usually can’t stand. So, after thinking and puzzling, this idea slammed into the side of my muse, scaring 10 away to go and hide. Jack hasn’t finished laughing yet, and he’s not even in this story.
***
The Valiant slept, as much as a ship is capable of sleeping. Lying on the deck, or floor, or whatever you wanted to call the part of the ship you walked on, the Doctor could feel the engines vibrating slightly, just doing their job, with no extra effort expended for other tasks. The generators hummed to themselves, the floors (he was going to call it the floor, it was wood, and decks were not made of wood on airships) felt cool to the touch, and everything was quiet, save the random murmurs of the guards as they made their rounds…
And one something that was bouncing the floor under his cheek, in regular intervals.
“The wonderful thing about tiggers / Is tiggers are wonderful things!”
The doors opened just quickly enough for the Master, in silk pyjamas, to bounce into the conference room, on, of all things, a pogo stick. A red, white and green pogo stick, singing.
“They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy / Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!”
The Master made one full circuit of the table, laughing hysterically, and bounced back toward the doors. With one last hysterical shout of laughter, the Master left with one parting line as he continued to bounce his way around his floating kingdom.
“But the most wonderful thing about Time Lords is I'm the bestest one!”
There were many things about the Year that the Doctor would try to forget, and this, this, he decided, was going to be at the top of the pile.
