[this is Lucy. this is Lucy sitting quietly off to some random side of the Plane, resting in a wide, comfy chair, legs tucked beneath her and reading a book. what book? a random one she snatched from the TARDIS library that gives some (very) truncated history on Gallifrey. why? because her husband has currently gone a mite bonkers and thinks himself someone else. it really, really sucks. so she's doing some reading and hoping to find some answers.

hopefully]

No, I wouldn't. It doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

[shakes her head] You have no reason to. I knew that when I did what I did. Only one of you would forgive me. I chose him. [looks away] Wouldn't you have done the same?

I did have a choice, remember? And I went in there to save you.

You idiot. There was nothing to save. There was never anything to save.

Yes, I know that now. But then? When I thought---

I guess I wasn't thinking. Lady and the Tiger, indeed. Should've known it was just another big game.

Everything between the two of you is a game. How was that any different?

It's not a game to me.

[aaaaand let's have some false enthusiasm, shall we?] Or to him, right now. Being that he's Rassilon, creator of the Time Lords. Plan! We need to make a plan.

Maybe it should be.

[forces her own smile] Your creator? I suppose if Harry's to think himself anything false, he could do worse than making himself your better. It is terribly accurate, after all. But very well. Is there any way to reverse a manipulation by the Twins?

I won't play games with him. Or with you.

I don't know. I know they don't have complete control over the Plane. Maybe they want their experiments to last longer, but they can't.

Do you want anything to do with me?

Wouldn't it be easiest just to ask them? If they did this, they can change him back, can't they?

[does not like this question] I need your help to save them. So, yes, for the moment.

[does not like this question, either, for different reasons] They might.

Just being used, then? I suppose that's to be expected.

But you don't want to.

Considering your husband, I suppose it is.

I think there's another, more subtle way.

That's quite enough, Doctor.

Memory manipulation or something of the sort, maybe? Or doing something to the Twins themselves?

I think it's been quite enough for quite a while.

Maybe. But! We don't know the mental synapses of the Twins, or how they work.

[quietly] You could end it easily enough. I'll stay away from you and you can keep away from me. No more games, right?

If we can't stop them from doing what they're doing, then what? Affect the Plane itself?

That was the original plan. But it's a small multiverse, isn't it?

Well, set off a few explosions, cause a little havoc. Even the Twins can only keep their minds on a few things at a time.

And yet every time, you've approached me. I did as you wanted, Doctor. You told me to leave and I did. Why can't you seem to do the same?

[oh, this is too good. Lucy actually smiles -- a REAL smile -- and laughs] Are you really telling me I'm allowed to do something destructive? How charming.

Consider this our last adventure, then. Save the Master, and you'll never see me again.

Don't get too excited. Nothing too out of control.

[opens her mouth as if to say something, then simply nods, masks all in place] Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Mmm, then what do you have in mind exactly? Should we take out any of the structures here? Or perhaps their little shoppe?

Right. [sets his jaw] All for the best.

You do have a good mind for destruction. While I hate destroying a little shop, it might be a good start. Catch their attention, if nothing else.

[she is so clinging to this so she doesn't dwell on the thought of him leaving]

I'm quite adept, indeed. It shouldn't be all that hard to set up.

I'll fetch some explosive material.

Probably shouldn't build this or plan on the Plane. Where do you want to meet?

I'm stuck on some world with little creatures. Moemon, or something of the like. If you can find it, I suppose that works.

Oh, that's right. No travel abilities.

I know the planet. I'll be there shortly. What era is it?

I don't even know. Can't you just home in on the TARDIS or whatever?
