Once I was just... thinking about nothing. And then I came up with an idea for this, and I don't know what this is, but I wrote it on twitter once. It looked way better in 280 characters, buuut somehow I lost the tweet. I couldn't lose this idea, so here you go:
There are two Braxiatels, the real one and a fake one. They're both trying to convince Romana, who's got a staser, to shoot the other one. Narvin suggests that both the real and the clone Brax answer questions about the three of them. They both get everything right.
Leela suggests Romana shoots one of them, but one of the Braxiatels says that he doesn't have enough regenerations left to be wasting energy.
"That is the one!" says Leela. "That is exactly what the clone would say, because if he got shot he would die right on the spot!"
"Yes, but we don't know how many regenerations Brax has left!", Romana answers.
She stops and thinks. And then she raises her staser against the other Brax (not the one who talked about his regenerations). He manages to convince her that the other one is the clone. So Romana points the gun at the "clone".
"Tell me a good reason why I shouldn't do it", she demands.
This Brax stares at her nervously, then at Leela and Narvin, then back at Romana.
"My lady... I'm very, very sorry about this. I know I promised not to say anything, even if I had a gun pointed at my head, but I hadn't imagined the opportunity of you being the one doing it would actually come up, so. Something the fake Brax wouldn't know. Your fan fiction, my lady, the one you recite to K-9 on your free time. Or not, I did walk in on you working on a sequel when you were supposed to read the bills sent by the High Council once. I said, 'Madam, shouldn't you be reading the bills? It's a quite urgent demand', and you replied, 'I've been doing it for 10 spans straight I need to clear my head. Now, Brax, should I write this sequel through Sigma's point of view so the reader can get a better glimpse of his feelings?', to which I replied, 'I think the readers would find his character more appealing if we don't make his intentions expl-'"
"Alright, that's enough", Romana interrupted him and shot the other Brax right through his chest. He turned out to be the fake one, and they knew it because he melted into a puddle of green goo.
"And then", Brax continued, "we discussed a bit more and I was like, 'madam, the bills' and you said the High Council could just get fucked-"
"I said that's enough, Braxiatel."
Romana turned and found Leela and Narvin, trying to suppress a laugh.
She sighed, and said awkwardly and fast: "It's not fanfiction, it's a novel", and turned to Brax again: "I should've shot you instead."
