AN: Anybody who doesn't know Doctor Who and wants to watch it, DO NOT READ THIS FIC! It contains a lot of spoilers! Okay, now that's that. I absolutely love Doctor Who and Rose Tyler and I absolutely love Arrow. When I heard that an actor from Doctor Who will play a role in Legends of Tomorrow and Felicity mentioned that the perfect man knows every Doctor Who episode out there, I couldn't resist. So I started this fic. I do take requests if you want me to write about a special episode. Until then I'll just write about all the episodes I love and cried over (quite a few if I'm honest :D) Anyway, this fic is for my friend Rahel and the guy I have a crush on. I hope you enjoy it :D
He should've known better. That's the only thing that kept repeating itself in Oliver's head when he poured the chips into a bowl and searched for more beer. The whole disaster had started when he'd told Felicity that he'd never watched Doctor Who. They'd been away from Starling for only three days when she couldn't stand it anymore and watched two episodes while he was out on a run. Upon his return she'd asked him what his favorite Doctor episode was, and all he said was `Doctor Who?´. That had caused a laughing fit unlike anything he'd ever seen.
"Oh Oliver, you have so much to catch up on if you want to be the perfect man."
Why the perfect man had to know Doctor Who was something else he didn't understand, but he went with it because it apparently made her happy. That was before he knew that he had ten years of episodes to catch up on, and that were only the newer ones. Apparently Ray had known every Doctor Who episode, and that fact alone was enough for Oliver to prepare a movie night the following day. He'd gained access to Felicity's Netflix account and set everything up. The only thing missing was the lady in question who had decided to go shopping and get some female necessities. The opening of the door told Oliver that she had arrived.
"Oliver, where are you? I brought you some…what is going on here?"
She looked at him curiously and glanced at the TV, the comfortable couch, the chips and the beer.
"I…uh….I wanted to surprise you with a movie night. Well, a Doctor Who night. Since a perfect man has to know Doctor Who and I want to be as perfect for you as possible, I just figured…we should…watch it together."
Felicity beamed at him, threw her shopping bag onto the floor and jumped in his arms. She gave him a quick kiss and then simply hugged him, showing her joy in a loving embrace.
"You know that I was just…I didn't mean it like that when I said that the perfect man should know every Doctor Who episode. My feelings for you won't change just because you don't know the most awesomest series on this planet."
"I know. But I know that you want me to know it, so we watch it. Besides, I can't have Pay Palmer beat me at something like….this."
"Oh Oliver, you have absolutely no reason to be jealous. Ray and I are over and never will be something again. Ray is a good man with a good heart, but it's you I want. Not him. So please don't be jealous and….lets just enjoy the evening, okay?"
Oliver nodded and carried his girlfriend over to the couch, carefully sitting down and placing her in his lap. Not a second after her butt touched his lap, her hands shot out and pulled the bowl of chips into hers.
"This is mine, mister, and you don't get a single one of them. Not that you'd eat them with your…diet of…healthy food. You have to keep that awfully healthy body of yours in shape, right? And I've noticed that you are very particular about what you put in your body. As am I, by the way. What and who. Oh God, just stop me and give me the remote!"
The irony of her words wasn't lost on him, he immediately the meeting they had in Queen Consolidated when he'd been all high on Vertigo and she'd rambled about cats and Tasers and his body. Even though he loved her rambling, he shut her up with a quick kiss and gave her the remote.
"Okay, we'll start with the first episode of the first new season. It's called `Rose´ and the Doctor….no, I don't want to spoiler that. Let's just watch it and…have fun."
The first few minutes (seconds) were pretty harmless. But then a group of plastic mannequins attacked Rose (apparently the Doctor's new companion) and some old guy (apparently the ninth Doctor) grabbed her and told her to run. After that it only got more ridiculous. A plastic arm tries to strangle Rose and the Doctor, Mickey, Rose's boyfriend, got swallowed by a plastic bin and suddenly is made of plastic, and his hands turn to plastic…boards while he tries to kill the pair. But Felicity had so much fun that Oliver simply chose to ignore the ridiculousness of the series and enjoy some cuddling time with his girlfriend. When after what felt like an hour the episode was finally over and Felicity started the next one, `The End of the World´, she asked him what he thought about the first episode.
"Well…it was….something else. Very ridiculous with the whole living plastic thing, but then again that dude is an…alien? It's weird. Rose is hot, though."
She hit him in the face with a pillow and laughed.
"The words every girlfriend wants to hear. Well, it will get lots better next season, but for now you're stuck with Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor. Rose is awesome, you got that right, but don't…don't get used to her. And that's another spoiler that I never wanted to tell you. Thanks for watching this with me, Oliver. That means a lot to me."
"And therefore it means a lot to me."
They smiled at each other and kissed, only to turn up the volume a bit more and cuddle up to each other again. They still had a few episodes left to watch.
