Morality Lessons

Title: Morality Lessons
Pairing/Warning/Rating: Vague Doctor/Master, rated G
Word Count: 137
Summary:  The Doctor tries to teach the Master an important lesson.
Author's Note:  Written for [personal profile] unfeathered's prompt from my recent writing meme


“No,” the Doctor warned, “try to do the right thing for once, won’t you?”

“Who cares about doing what’s right?”  The Master fumed.

“Nearly every society that ever evolved eventually developed code of conduct, a system of ethics, an idea of morality if you will.  So I would say that the entire galaxy cares about doing ‘what is right’ as you so childishly put it.”

“But...”

“No.”

They stared at each other for a moment before the Master’s hand shot out, only to be slapped away before he could grab the last scone off the serving plate.

“You do not take the last one, it simply is not polite.”

“But....”

“No.”

“Fine.”  The Master crossed his arms and pursed his lips.  “But don’t you think I’m going to let you forget this.”

“I never expected you would.”

Ha! Fantastic! I love the twist when you find out what they're actually talking about! Brilliant! :-)

*Grins* brilliant!

(Is it just me, or does this icon fit the last two lines of the fic?)

Scones! Poor Master, having to learn to be polite over scones...

Love it!

You know me... slipping in twists whenever I can! :) Thanks for the prompt

That icon is perfect, absolutely perfect for it! :)

Originally I was going to have it be digestives, but those aren't as well known in the States. :)

Haha.. Excellent fun!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
perfect, perfect icon for this! Glad you liked it! :)

digestives are known to anyone it the US who reads British fiction.

House training the Master is SO hard!

[identity profile] kensieg.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I adore your icon!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
ah, true. They do however, sound a smidge unappealing to me. Cookies= yummy. digestives? I have trouble seeing the appeal

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
But I bet he would argue it's worth it! :)

*snerk*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Personally, I'd have let the Master have the last scone. It's not like we're talking donuts here!

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Same here.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
But then again, I've never had a "true" scone. Some people on my f-list love them. I wouldn't say no to trying a "real" one, but given the option I think the donut would always win out

digestive like an aperitif. builds your appetite.

[identity profile] kensieg.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
yes that's why the Doctor was so sad when the Master refused to regenerate!

[identity profile] kensieg.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
maybe sometime you could write a drabble Doctor/Master alien donuts!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
*yipes* Perish the thought!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
It's just the name.. digestives. They don't inspire yumiliciousness in my mind

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Donuts pretty much trump all.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
All hail the heavenly orb!
