[[Steven Moffat]]'s very first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story, originally published in 1996 in the short story anthology ''Decalog 3''. Available [http://doctorwhomedia.co.uk/minicaster/Continuity%20Errors%20By%20Steven%20Moffat.pdf online]{{Dead link}}.

In the end, Andrea tells the Doctor and "Super Earrings" that she ''will not'' succumb to their plot. Yes, she's incredibly grateful to him for making her life worth living again, and for saving her daughter, and for everything. But she's been trained, as part of her Librarian studies, to resist him. She won't give him the book. The Doctor leaves her alone, seemingly defeated.

In the middle of her Librarian studies, she's going through a phase of priming, and everything said to her in this period will stay imprinted in her mind forever. The little man throws out Professor Candy's lecture, tells the class that Professor Candy is sick, and instead gives a nice talk on the importance of lending library books to your friends.
