[On the Astral plane, yawning]

I hate dying when I have plans. I mean, there's the time it takes to bring me back, then there's all the paperwork I have to fill out.....And I really wanted to take Mickey and Jake out for sushi at the new sushi bar on Oxford.

((Kisha inspired this! There is also lead-up fic here, about Rose dying. \o/))

....well, now I'm going to have nightmares about music coming after me.

Aw, music's not so bad! Usually, anyway. It's only that specific case where it's a little dangerous.

Can you tell a better one?

All right all right. Uhm, let's see.

Once upon a time, in a bustling kingdom, there were two boys. One was from a poor family and the other from a rich one. Despite this, the boys were happy and played with each other everyday. Very good friends.

Time passed as it always does and the boys turned into young men, though I suppose they didn't really mature much. Anyway! One day, a proclamation came from the palace that the beautiful princess was to find a suitor. The suitor would be the one capable of making her smile, because the princess didn't smile for anyone. Naturally, the two boys decided to try their luck. They were bored and she was pretty, you know how it goes.

The two of them both tried their best skills, wit and charm. They were funny, intelligent, witty...really, these two boys were very impressive, but the princess only yawned. She was a tough cookie. They tried for three days and still the princess wouldn't even look at them.

The boys felt like big fat failures, so they left. Later that night, while walking in the town garden, the poor boy happened on the princess. The two chatted about plants, which the poor boy knew well having spent so much time with them, and the princess smiled.

Except the next morning the rich boy ran into the princess as well. The boy and the princess bonded over leadership and politics and all those things and the princess was impressed with his knowledge. She smiled at him too.

Now obviously this was a problem! Both boys had made her smile. There was a time of squabbling and it was all very undignified until the princess decided they'd all just be friends and go observe things in the garden. And they all agreed happily.

I like that one. Did it really happen?

More or less! I still tried to get dates with her sometimes. She was awfully stubborn. And then she'd go off with the Master and it really wasn't fair at all.

Should've known you and the Master would be the two boys.

Why wasn't it fair?

Was it that obvious?

Because! If they went on a date, they made a big show of it! I didn't do that! Not exactly. I guess they weren't really dates. They were sort of dates.

Sort of dates?

Right, well, things like bug collecting after being rejected aren't exactly dates...

...bug collecting?

She liked bugs!

What was her name?

The Rani. Usually. Very lovely woman, though she more or less went the way of the Master. Not exactly as evil. Not actively evil. Just very fond of experiments. Honestly I think if it had been up to her, she would have stayed in a little corner of the universe tinkering with animals.

Sounds nice.

Oh it was back then! I used to be quite impressive to her, you know. I was one of the better biologists at school. Not that I paid much attention in class. Or went. But I could fix any problem she was having with her experiments. She even tracked me down once in my Seventh to help her. Sixth, technically, but I regenerated during it. And actually she wanted help with thermodynamics...
