So this is my (late) tribute to Doctor Who. I've been in need of fun not-angst since the season finale. So I wrote some ... hehe.

The DOCTOR wants YOU to Ban DHMO
There was, for once, a moment of quiet in the TARDIS. The Doctor was muttering to himself from under the grating as he tinkered with this and that. Donna sat in the pilot chair with her feet resting on the consol with a 26th century laptop on her lap.
The machine gave a little whistle and let out a high-pitched 'Message from M. Jones'. The email was short; containing only a greeting to both Donna and the Doctor and a link to a website that might interest the former.
"Martha says hello." Donna told the Doctor, before sipping her tea as she scanned the website. Then she snorted.
"What?" The Doctor's messy head appeared over the railing. Donna glanced up at him then back at the website.
Donna pursed her lips. "Well, Martha sent a link to join this petition to ban DHMO."
The Doctor pulled himself up and leant on the railing. "DHMO? What's that?"
"Dihydrogen Monoxide." Donna bit into a pastry, "is apparently a very dangerous substance that is being used without caution in many countries on Earth." She paused for a moment, "Let's see … 'DHMO has no distinguishable color, taste or odor and causes thousands of deaths each year – many due to inhalation of the substance." She paused again then raised her eyebrows and took another bite of pastry. "It's highly addictive and withdrawal is a death sentence."
The Doctor had by this time migrated and was reading over her shoulder. His mouth turned downwards in a deeper and deeper scowl the further he read. After a moment, he reached around Donna and signed his name to the petition.
Donna raised her eyebrows at that. "Oy, spaceman, I don't think you know what you're doing there."
"'Course I do!" The Doctor leapt around to the other side of the consol. A push of a button and flip of a switch later and the sound of the TARDIS materializing filled the room. Grabbing his coat he gave her a grin. "Saving the world."
Before she could say anything he was out the doors and gone. Donna looked back at her email. Pulling up a blank message she replied to Martha. The Doctor's on the rampage against DHMO. I blame you for anything he blows up in the process.
Yes, the petition is real. DHMO is a very dangerous substance and there are very few laws regarding how it is handled. Go to the following link for more information and to sign a petition if you want, just take out the spaces.
