Hi! So this is a bit different but I am having some writer's block trouble on my more serious story and I thought doing something silly might help. It's just fun and I hope you all like it. Let me know what you think :) No copyright infringement intended. I don't own anything Doctor Who,
The Doctor leaned against the railing on the TARDIS' elevated platform, his head ducked down low and his eyes closed. That didn't help, that just made his mind more of a theater for the memories to play in. It was so, so stupid! When would he stop being so thick? How old did he have to be to finally figure it out? But- But he was just so happy she was alive and she was just so... just so. " The Doctor shook his head, violently pushing away from the railing and stalking over to the main console where he angrily typed in new coordinates to who knew where and pulled the lever that made it a go.
"Where are we going?" Rose called out from across the room, coming out of one of the corridors that led to her room. She'd been in there for hours, probably hiding from him, he thought miserably, unable to meet her eyes. Rose herself didn't seem to have a problem actually as she casually walked up the steps to where he stood.
"Hello." She said brightly and he was insanely tempted to look at her because her voice sounded like her smile. Still, he didn't think he could handle it just then if he was wrong and if he was right, he definitely couldn't. That would be worse in fact, all things considered. Oh, but the day had started so nicely. Normal, everyday, average time traveling kind of day. They'd seen dinosaurs and directly following that, naturally, they'd run from dinosaurs. But then there was a swamp and...oh. So, so stupid!
"Earth to the Doctor... Anybody there?" She suddenly said with a little laugh. So, she was trying to kill him. Fair enough, he had to go sometime and this was a much more preferable way to do it. The Doctor swallowed hard and finally looked up. There she was, smiling just like he'd thought as if something was very funny to her.
"Yep." He answered her, completely unable to not respond to a smile like that.
" I just wanna thank you." She said, breaking into another laugh, "You saved my life."
"You were just, you were sinking!" He blurted out.
"Yeah, rubbish at swimmin, me. Course, so were those dinosaurs so it all worked out. Besides, I had you to save me. CPR is a great thing." She grinned.
"It was CPR." He argued.
"Yeah, said so, didn't I?" Rose replied in wide eyed innocence.
"It was!" He declared again, slamming his hand down on a random button on the keyboard next to him.
"Except, thing is, Doctor, back when I was a lifeguard we had to learn CPR and I just don't remember lips needing to be so um...active in it."
"I wasn't- hold on, lifeguard?" He stared her as she broke into another round of laughter.
"Rose, you can't be a lifeguard without being able to swim." He stated sternly.
"Okay, here's how I remember it, I couldn't swim and you had to do CPR, yeah?" She answered, as the laughter died down.
The Doctor stared at her for a long moment, taking in the twinkle in her eyes. He never wanted to lose that. "Well, CPR is a great thing." He finally said, smiling back for just a second before turning away to try and find out where exactly they were going after all.
