Doctor Who 100 Challenge: wrestling

by Red Wolf

"What's this ball thing?"

The Doctor's hammering echoed throughout the room. "The red and white one?"

"With a little dent on top." Rose tossed the object from hand to hand.

"It's a Dreeth children's toy, like cat's cradle." He continued working until heard a series of grunts and a thump near the console. "Rose?"

The Doctor stuck his head up through a floor panel to find Rose struggling in a knot of strings that spun out from the ball. "Did I mention that the Dreeth are an arachnid-like race? You need more than two hands to play with that toy."
