"Hey guys, look what I got!" Theta Sigma yelled, interrupting the recently named Rani's and recently named Master's conversation on the Rani's latest experiment involving a species of Tellurian rodent called "Rat".

"What did you get Thete?" the Master asked through slightly gritted teeth as his exceedingly annoying best friend walked up and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

Grinning, Thete held out his credentials which indicated that he'd graduated from the Prydonian Academy.

"Finally!" the Rani exclaimed.

The Master did a quick search to see whether or not Thete was pulling their leg, considering the fact that Borusa had sworn that his friend would graduate "over his dead body". What he saw nearly caused him to swallow his tongue.

"Fifty-one percent?!" he said as he read the details of his friend's academic standing upon graduation. "Fifty-one percent Thete?! Are you serious?!"

"Meh, I got kinda bored halfway through." Thete said as he examined his fingernails before polishing them on his robes.

"So, where was old Borusa for all of this?" the Rani asked.

"He was in the hospital while they waited to see if he would regenerate or not." Thete replied. "He is now a she."

"So, what do you plan to do now that you've graduated?" the Rani who'd thought that Thete would be held back until he'd made a third go of it asked.

"Now?" Thete said. "I plan to get a drink."

"Good idea." the Master replied, steering Thete in the direction of a respectable establishment since the Shobogans would more than likely toss them out on their asses since they were Time Lords now. It wasn't like he didn't have money to blow. Thete may have been old blood, but it was his father who had Estates.

Two hours later:

"This place blows." Thete said as he glared back at the man who'd been looking at him in disapproval over the fact that he'd had more than two drinks in one sitting.

"You're right." the Master replied. "Let's go somewhere else."

An Indeterminate Period of Time Later:

"Where the hell are we, and where did we get a TT Capsule?" Thete asked when he returned to consciousness.

His friends were too busy holding their heads and groaning to answer, and the complete stranger in what looked like it might be a uniform of some sort was too busy sleeping to do so.
