Save the Girl - Part I
"Rule number one. Rose?"
"Don't wander off."
"Yes sir."
"Rule number two. Don't touch the TARDIS. Rule number three..."
"Seriously?" Rose rolls her eyes. "I'll be in my room. Wake me when you're done."
"Honestly, Rose, you're going to sleep your entire life away."
"Goodnight Doctor, Jack."
With his trademark grin in place, the Doctor waits until his companion is out of earshot before continuing. "Rule number three. Things get tough, you keep her safe. That's your ticket to staying on this ship. She thinks you're worth trusting. Don't make me regret it."
Jack nods solemnly. He's surprised that isn't priority number one but decides not to point it out.
"Rule number four. No traveling on your personal timeline.
This time, Jack rolls his eyes. "Former Time Agent. I know the rules of travel."
The Doctor levels him with his best high-and-mighty stare. Seemingly satisfied with what he sees, a smile once again graces his face.
"Fantastic! Your room is straight ahead, take the first left, second right, past the bins, then take another right."
"Ay, ay captain."
"Oh and Jack, if I catch you anywhere near Rose's room, I'll pick up where the bomb left off."
"Fair enough."
"Off you go, then. Time for the humans to sleep."
