I really have got sequelitis. When I wrote Master Test and the Doctor promised the Master a House of Eliott crossover I promised myself I wouldn't do this, I really did. But somehow, it still happened... The Eighth Doctor promised a life of fashion to the Movie Master, but it's not what he hoped for... (The House of Eliott was a popular 90s BBC Drama about two sisters in the 1920s, once brilliantly parodied by French & Saunders... And I enjoyed writing this far too much). ***** Master in the (Fashion) House (A double drabble) V. Jewitt Beatrice Eliott glanced up from the accounts as her sister Evangeline burst into her office. "Bea!" "Really, Evie, you must learn a little dignity. What is it?" She was smiling widely. "Bea, who have we been dying to meet forever?" Beatrice frowned slightly; then her expression cleared. "You can't mean -?" "I do! Monsieur Bruce is here to see us!" Beatrice stood hastily, flustered. "Evie, you could have warned me!" M. Bruce entered and kissed the hands of both sisters. "Ladies, I have a proposal..." * "I'm not sure," said Bea suspiciously, "What do you mean, you can bring our fashion house into the future?" "The next century at least," he promised. "What do you say?" She smiled faintly. "It sounds inviting, but we have enough excitement here and now." "Then I'm sorry to have troubled you," said the Master, exiting with the deftly stolen fashion designs under his jacket. They'd be priceless in the right time and place. Evie stared at Bea in dismay before storming out. "Bea, how could you?" "I don't trust him," said Bea, as the door slammed in her face. "Why those dark glasses?" She shrugged and picked up the ringing telephone. "Oh, Jack -!" * TTR: The Master's Designs Drabble by V Jewitt The Movie Master was in a foul mood as he threw himself down at the bar and ordered an Eye of Orion Flameball. "What's up?" asked Harry nervously. "A double drabble!" he snarled. "The Doctor promises me a fashion crossover and I get one measly double drabble!" Realisation hit him. It was enough - even a demi-drabble would have done it! He smiled evilly. The Eliott sisters were now free to enter the Round. "There'll be some sartorial improvements around here," he told Harry and pushed the Flamer back. "I won't be needing this. Get me something suitable for a lady!" ************** This Time Round was created by Tyler Dion All characters are copyright of the BBC. The rest is entirely my fault.
