Chapter One; Summer Love

Guess what? I'm back! And I promise to get back to Son of The Doctor ASAP, but I had this funny little idea inside my head that I couldn't pass up! I hope you enjoy it and as always please don't forget to review!

It was an extremely hot summer day and the doctor was cooped up inside his TARDIS. He would rather have been down at the creek with Mickey and Rose, but he couldn't really bring himself to do such a thing. That's when suddenly he looked up and saw Sarah Jane coming through the door. "Hullo Doctor, Rose just texted me to find out where in the world you were and when you were going to go down to the creek and join them." She explained.

"I'm not." He answered.

"Really? Why? I thought you loved spending time with her. I mean I've seen the two of you together." She told him.

"I know, but Mickey's her boyfriend and I'm not. So she should be spending more time with him." He explained as he turned away from her and pretended to fiddle around with his machine.

Sarah scrunched up her face in confusion. "What are you saying that you're jealous or something?" she asked him as he simply looked up at her.

"Oh c'mon Sarah Jane, you can't really be that blind." He told her.

"Well, if you have feelings for her then why can't you just tell her that?" she questioned him.

"Because, I'm a time lord, she's a human being. It would never work between us anyway, and besides all I've ever wanted to do was protect her." He said.

"Listen Doctor, you can't fool me. I've seen the way you look at her, and you never once looked at me like that before. You may have not had a choice when you left me, but now you do. I really don't want to see you give it up." She told him earnestly as he continued to gaze at her for a moment.

…..

"C'mon Rose you can do it!" Mickey called up to his girlfriend as she stood at the edge of the cliff and clutched onto the rope with all her might. "

"I can't!" she cried down to the water.

"C'mon babe, you promised me that you wouldn't be scared!" Mickey told her.

"Well yeah, but that's because that I didn't know that I would be when I got up here." She explained when suddenly she heard a rustling inside the bushes and looked up and saw the doctor stepping out of the woods. She gave a sudden gasp. "Oops, sorry, you scared me." She explained after she had realized it was him.

The doctor smirked at her as he noted how extremely attractive she was in her two pieced bathing suit.

"Hey!" Rose snapped. "Stop staring." She muttered with a glare as his grin started to fade.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to_" he began quickly.

"It's alright, you don't have to apologize, I've got bigger problems at the moment." She told him.

"What? A girl who has faced Daleks and Cybermen is afraid of a little rope swing?" he questioned her as the grin returned to his face.

"You can be really annoying sometimes, did you know that?" she asked him with a scoff and a roll of her eyes.

"Oh yes Miss Tyler, I am perfectly well aware of it." He answered as he smiled warmly at her.

"Rose are you coming!?" Mickey hollered back up at her.

"Yes, I'll be down in a minute!" she replied before looking back at the doctor. "But first, age before beauty." She told him as she shoved him off the edge of the cliff. Rose laughed as she heard him fall into the water with a big splash.

"Hey!" the doctor cried after he took a deep breath. "Why'd you do that for!?" he exclaimed before Rose grabbed onto the rope and swung a crossed the cliff and let go if it just as soon as she was over the water.

"Oh c'mon a nine hundred year old time lord is afraid of a little water?" she teased after she had come up to the surface.

"I'm gonna get you Rose Tyler!" The doctor shouted as he started to splash her as she constantly ducked and dodged his attacks with squeals of giggles as she splashed him back.

"Hullo, hullo, remember me?" Mickey said irritably after a moment as the two of them turned over to look at him and grew silent. The doctor suddenly cleared his throat inside his fist.

"Uh you're right I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here." He quickly apologized. "It was Sarah Jane's idea, but now I can see that I made a complete and utter mess of things." He said as he stood up.

"No wait, please don't leave." Rose told him.

"I'm sorry Rose, but I've got to. I've got a lot of work to do back inside the TARDIS and I don't have time to be goofing off." He said as he got out of the water. When he was gone Rose quickly turned to Mickey.

"How could you do that!? The doctor's my friend!" she snapped.

"Yeah but Rose I'm your boyfriend." He told her. "Yet whenever I'm finally able to get you alone he always shows up and ruins it. I mean I'm not saying that I don't like him, I just don't like the way he looks at you." He explained.

"Oh c'mon Mickey, you've really got to stop being so jealous. The doctor and I have a purely platonic relationship. There's nothing going on between us." She told him as she stood up and turned to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" he asked her.

"Home. I promised my mum that I'd be home for lunch." She answered while Mickey watched her run out of the water and into the woods. He knew better.
