"It's sort of... squishy, you know?"
Rose turned the egg over and over in her hand; each time feeling its spongy , soft texture against her palm. The egg couldn't possibly come from Earth; unless, as her mum had wondered " Them at the shop are starting Easter early this year."
The bottom was a light , baby blue, the middle a soft pink with tinyindentations the size of a fingernail, while the top had green splotches of colour against a shining white.
"And it ..." Rose wrinkled her nose. " Smells. A bit like it's been pickled and left out. Are you sure whatever's in there is even still alive?"
The Doctor pulled out his sonic, the blue light poring over the egg rapidly. " Has t'be. Something's just dropped it here. " He sniffed it, giving Rose a look that said ' you're not wrong, what is that?'
"Could it be rotten? Like whatever species left it a hundred years ago or something?" She'd seen ghosts and now aliens that explode when hit with vinegar, an old rotting space egg couldn't be out of the possible.
" Maybe. But keep in mind, Rose Tyler, you lot aren't the only ones in th' universe that pickle eggs." The Doctor paused as the faint sounds of cracking had started. " Only way to find out."
Rose gasped as a tiny blue head began to break free of the egg.
