Fill- Challenge 433 (DW)
Inspired by an idea from @shivver and the Genremixer throwing out the trope "obedience" with these two. I do want to expand this. No warnings, but it helps if you've seen "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" or are at least aware of what happens in the latter.
The door to Donna's bedroom opens just a crack; and an all-too familiar head of spiked hair peeks through.
"What's wrong, space man?" she asks, not even getting off of her bed.
" Just coming to see how you are. After the Library, and, you know..."
Donna scowls. " Lee? You can say it. I know he's gone. " She sighs, leaning back against one of the overstuffed pillows. " I'm fine. Best that can bee expected. " Donna pulls a blanket over herself. " Finally find someone who's not rubbish, got this ... unbelievable life together , and it's not even real. Figures. "
She watches the Doctor open and close his mouth, as if trying to find the words. Finally, all he says is " I'm so sorry."
"I know. Could you just give me a moment?"
The door closes as she sinks into the bed.

About an hour later, Donna sits up. The lights have dimmed automatically, save for a tiny stream of light pouring into the room from... she turns towards the doorway to see the Doctor there, his face lit up in an impish grin.
"Donna Noble, " He walks over to her. " I have got an idea. Starting right now, anything you want , I'll do it."
Donna looks quizzically at him. " You're kidding?"
He shakes his head. "Nope! Your wish is my command. Whatever you want, I'll do it. Absolutely anything, no terms or conditions. Just say the word."
"So I can just, what , order you around? Like that film? The one with the princess and the man in the mask."
The Doctor runs a hand over his hair. "The Princess Bride?"
"That one. " She sits on the edge of the bed. "Right, well then, tea. And see if we have any of the good biscuits left."
"As you wish."
