Fill-Challenge 349 (DW)

 (I listened to part of Time Reaver for voice references.   I originally had it as "hummingbird cake" before realizing that it wouldn't be something normally had in the UK- it's a regional thing (and delicious! ;))  .  Also,  "laundrette" is the UK word for "laundromat." I checked )

Donna surveyed her ruined clothes. " You know, these are gonna take forever to clean.  And I still haven't found  the laundrette onboard the TARDIS."  She felt the sticky white substance oozing through her sleeves. 

" Haven't seen the laundrette for a good century.  But"  The Doctor licked his finger, then gave an impish grin. " It's not toxic. It's cake! Oooh,  carrot cake too.  He hasn't used that one yet." 

Donna tried twisting around: the manacles binding her to the wall still gripped tight.  " You're taking this well. " She frowned. " I thought you were taking me home and for a quick cuppa, now you're over here going on about what kind of cake just happens to be dumped on us?"  She made a frustrated noise as she tried to wriggle out again, her hands still sticky.  " Hang about, what do you mean? You've actually done this before?" 

The Doctor inspected his brown suit, tarnished with nuts and icing.  " Yeah, a few times. Well... more than a few actually.   Don't really know why.  "  

"Can't you just sonic us free? And what,  who's done this? That Restam bloke that locked us in here? " 

The Doctor feebly reached for his pocket.  "Nope,  can't reach it. Still, step up from -----" He stopped, frowning.  " You aren't meant to remember that." He said, in nearly a whisper.  " Right then!  Donna,  any ideas on how to get out of this? "  He licked what he could reach of the icing from his sleeve.   

" Sorry, Spaceman.  I happen to be dieting.  "
