Disclaimer: I only own the locusts

This is my first time writing the Fourth Doctor, so bear with me.


"Here," said the Doctor. "Local delicacy. Insect larva."

Adric looked a little dubiously at them. "They're a bit big for insects." he said. "What do they grow into?"

"Giant locusts!" said the Doctor. "Try one. Be careful, though. Very strong taste."

Adric hesitated for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and lifted one off the plate. It was, the Doctor thought, good to have a companion who really would eat anything, regardless of bizarre origins, strange colour, or calory count.

Adric suddenly gasped, coughed, and reached for his glass.

"Are you alright? I did warn you." said the Doctor.

"It made my eyes water!" said Adric. "Can I have another one?"


Well?
