Doctor Who double drabble!

So, I didn't like 'Midnight'. But rather than complaining, I've written (a tiny) fic. This is NOT a way of 'fixing' the episode btw, just a very... different ending. Really, not what you might expect at all! *g* Un-beta'd & a little rough I guess.

Title: Untitled.
Summary: What if 'Midnight' had gone a little differently?
Spoilers: Midnight (duh).
Rating: PG.
Characters: The Doctor & ?
Length: 200 words.

Untitled.

"Master - will you please, please stop? I am begging you - just stop!"

But the Master only shook his head, unable to speak, and kept giggling. He'd laughed non-stop for... the Doctor didn't know how long. There was no time in this place, which was far more disorientating than the lack of a physical 'world'.

The Doctor glared. "It's not that funny."

The other nodded vehemently and finally found his voice. "Oh but it is Doctor... It is the best joke ever. You - you - were killed by humans!"

The Doctor groaned and buried his head in his hands. "So were you!" he shot back, glumly, and the Master raised his eyebrows in mock astonishment. "Oh but I asked for it - and, I'm proud to say, truly deserved it! But you..."

The Master was overcome with mirth again, and the Doctor sighed deeply and gave up. He was beginning to wonder if maybe there was some sort of God after all, assigning people afterlives...

He wasn't exactly surprised to find himself in hell, but why oh why had the Master been given his own private heaven?
