Dangerous Apples
Pipkat
She doesn't remember what they were talking about, some random tangent- that's all they did really. Travel to random places, talk to random people (aliens, he'd always remind her), and say random things, (That bit from the Lion King—had he even seen the movie!) and she'd said the chummy lil' earth saying "An apple a day keeps the Doctor away…" He made a face. Well, he made lots of faces, but it was "there's-a-story-behind-that-one-face."
"That one is actually true."
"You're joking."
"No, if I said that Eleplants from Trexapalacorbious were as tall as they were wide, now that would be joking."
"You're afraid of apples?"
"Ah, see that's the thing. You're little Granny Smith's don't explode on contact."
(Silence)
"They had exploding apples? Someone has a sick sense of humor."
"Well they weren't apples exactly. It was like a little bomb, but it looked like a little red Earth apple. I was investigating some alien activity and of course the natives didn't like learning their idol was a transmitter used by their crazed alien ruler to beam aboard his cloaked ship. They were fairly primitive, but had a dangerous penchant for artillery that exploded…I had a companion once who loved nitroglycerine…hardly the same thing, anyway, threw those beauties at me and couple decades later there's the saying. Used to have a scar where one of the shards imbedded itself. Very unpleasant."
"This was on Earth?"
"Naw. More like an Earth that will be. You saw it destroyed. Not all planets have spock tech ya know. New colonies tend to retrogress before they boom. The alien was a fugitive and taking advantage of their retrogressing state and was holding 'em back. Took him down and time reordered itself. Not bad, if I do say so myself."
(Stare)
"What? It's not my fault if humans have a love of blowing themselves up."
"No, but it is when they try to blow you up."
"I don't see why you think this is funny. I could've died."
"Sure. I feel like a whole bushel of apples."
"Stop quoting Geoffrey Rush and listen! Do you think Snow White being poisoned by an apple was a coincidence?"
"You and your conspiracy theories. Next thing you'll tell me is that Denis Rodman is an alien."
"But he is."
(Lots of silence…)
"Anyway, see the thing with Snow White was…"
That day Rose learned an important lesson. An apple a day may keep the Doctor away, but not even being trussed up like a luau pig with an apple in its mouth can make him shut up about things that happened to Snow White she'd rather not know about.
