"Who is this guy?" asked Lily, leaning against a wall.
"His name is the Master, a former friend of mine," said the Doctor.
"What does he want with you? And what happened to him? He looks like a bucket of extra-crispy KFC gone bad!"
"Time Lords can regenerate at the point of death," he said, scanning the area around them. "We can change our faces, become a new person."
"So he botched it or something? Or does he like being all crispy?"
"No. Something happened to him on his final regeneration, and now he's stuck like that. He wants my body so he can live- What?" The Doctor turned to look at his companion, who was staring at him.
"He wants… your body?" she asked bemusedly.
"Yes, so?"
"He wants your body." She grinned brightly. "Former friend, huh? Or was there something else in that relationship?"
"What?"
"Dang Doc, I didn't know you swung that way! Oh, don't worry, I know this guy, he likes boys too."
"No, no, no!" the Doctor said, waving his hands around frantically. "It's nothing like that!"
"Hey, hey, you don't have to say a thing. I understand, and I don't judge people based on that!"
"Lily, let me explain! He wants my body so he can access the regenerations I have left."
"…Oh. Oops."
"Don't jump to conclusions next time."
"Because you're so good about that."
"Oh, hush!"
Bloody: Couldn't resist. ;)
Unicorn: She doesn't own it!
