Summary: "What I did wasn't so bad."


"I can't believe you stole the Tivi Bird egg," the Doctor groused.

River shrugged, uncaring. "What I did wasn't so bad."

"Wasn't so bad?! That egg is sacred; and, as an archaeologist, you ought to know that," he scolded.

She smirked. "As an archaeologist, I did my research. That wasn't the true Tivi Bird egg. It was a fake."

He gaped, dumbstruck. "It was a fake?"

"An excellent one, I have to admit," River continued. "But someone who's responsible for it decided to create an elaborate deception, and secretly sell the genuine article. The Tivi race will find it eventually."
