"Alien candy?"

The Doctor beamed at Martha and nodded with enough vigour that the specs on the end of his nose seemed poised to take flight. "A delicacy renowned across the galaxy. Try it."

Martha squinted at the colourless capsules, then grinned in spite of herself. "All right," she said, "but if I swell up and turn blue, you're responsible." Ignoring his puzzled look, she popped the candy into her mouth, and, after a moment's consideration, hastily spat it out again.

"Like it?" the Doctor said, wide-eyed.

It took Martha a long moment to cycle through all the possible replies to that particular statement, with varying degrees of acerbity. "No," she said at last. "It tastes like soap."

"Tastes like soap?" The Doctor waved his hands wordlessly for a moment, sputtering. "It's one of the gourmet wonders of the universe! It's-" His hand had drifted nearer his pocket, and he paused thoughtfully, extracting another handful of transparent capsules after a moment. "Oh," he said at last. "Er. Sorry. That was soap, after all."

"Alien soap," Martha noted, wondering if there was any possible way to discreetly scrub her tongue. "And if you don't mind, I'll pass on the rest."

"All right," she said, "but if I swell up and turn blue, you're responsible."

WILLY WONKA FTW.

This makes me very happy.

Edited to add, rather randomly: Was doing research on Ella Fitzgerald for Top Secret Fic of Top Secretness and suddenly stumbled upon the fact that in her first major performance (at the Apollo Theater in 1934), the First Lady of Song sang two songs - two songs written by none other than the illustrious Hoagy Carmichael.

Coincidence? I think not.

The reference makes me smile! Lovely, anyway. With pockets bigger on the inside, though, you can't blame him for a little confusion, right? ^^

Hahaha! Poor Tenth Doctor.... he would do that.

I can see her face changing as she goes through the cycle. *grins*
