Rose woke to loud slams, clangs, and shouts from outside her door. "Doctor?" She asked, walking toward the door as she pulled on a dressing gown.
The clanging and shouting continued.
What is going on out there? She thought, opening the door and walking down the long corridor.
The TARDIS has too many corridors.
She'd nearly reached the control room when she found the Doctor in the corridor, sword in hand as he battled a man with short brown hair.
"Jack?!" she asked, incredulous.
The two men stopped fighting and turned. Jack's boyish face split in a grin. "Rose! Good to see you again, as ever."
Rose was now very glad she'd put on a long and completely concealing nightie. She looked from one man to the other.
"What are you two doing with those swords?"
The Doctor shrugged, breathing between his teeth. "Oh, found them in a closet. I'd forgotten how much fun sparring was."
Rose raised an eyebrow at the both of them. "You use to sword fight."
"Is that so hard to believe?" The Doctor asked, leaning the hilt of his sword against a wall.
Jack fallowed suit, saying "Mayhap the lady would enjoy a more gentile form of sport." He walked over and placed his arms on her
shoulders, pulled her in close. Rose looked into his bright eyes
"Mayhap the lord should back off before he gets a smack." she replied in her best King Arthur accent.
"That sounds like a grand idea," the Doctor said, picking up the weaponry and placing it back in the closet. Jack glanced at him, affronted.
"Excuse me."
The Doctor glanced at him. "Oh...oh, not that. Although if you annoy Rose you may get what you deserve. You need to be a bit nicer to her and-"
"Like this?" Jack grinned wolfishly. The Doctor glared at him.
"Nice is not sexual, Captain Condom. And what I meant was-"
"Jack!"
"I was only-"
"OI! Humans!" That stopped both Rose and Jack. He drew a breath.
"What I meant was, how would you like to go to a medieval dance?"
"You could find one?" Jack asked curiously.
"Course I can." the Doctor said, walking them into the console room. He trotted up to the console and flipped a few switches. "In fact I know of a planet that is set entirely in the middle ages. Here we go."
The TARDIS juddered, the central column whirring slightly faster, then settled. "Here we are," the Doctor said, running to the door. He froze, then bounded back past them. "Oops! Almost forgot!" He ran down one of the long corridors, disappearing around a bend. In a moment he was back, carrying a bundle of garments.
"Right, Rose, you can be from Caledonia, they have coloring similar to yours, I'll be a lad from the Hebrides, and Jack...I'm not even trying to explain you, Jack. Think up something."
Jack quirked a grin. "Maybe I'll be a sultan with a nice harem waiting at home."
The Doctor raised an incredulous eyebrow at him. "Jack, you better not be serious."
Jack shrugged. "Nah. But what about that story, Don Juan? Think that'd work?"
"I sincerely hope not. Well once we're changed we can go outside and look for the parties."
The three of them picked up their clothes and went to their separate rooms to change.
