Why Rose doesn't let the Doctor get PETZ!

Rose was walking around the consol, it was a rare occurrence for Rose to every be alone in the TARDIS, but the Doctor had run out earlier that morning without waking her, Rose would have gone out to look for him, if it wasn't for the note he left her. Rose looked down at the note, it read;

'Dear Rose,

Hello this note is from the Doctor, I just stepped out for a bit, don't worry I'm not having an adventure without you; I just...need to go get something. So no worries, and please be a good girl and WAIT in the TARDIS, no wonder outside, 'K Rose?

Love
The Doctor. =^.^='

Rose sighed, "Doctor, what are you up to this time?" Rose looked at the door then sighed again. Suddenly the doors swung open and in walked the Doctor.

"Rose! Guess what I've got!" The Doctor said in a cheery voice, that Rose had now known only meant trouble.

"What?" Rose said trying to sound excited. The Doctor frowned slightly.

"Awe, come on Rose, that not even a guess," he said with a pout, Rose looked at him uneasily.

"Fine I'll guess; um is it a...oh I don't know a new weather thermometer?" she said with a shrug. The Doctor's shoulders slumped

"Come on Rose, you're not really trying; you don't even sound excited," the Doctor said disappointed. Rose couldn't help but smile at how childish the Doctor was acting.

"Oh just tell me!" Rose said this time enthusiastically. The Doctor gave her a boyish grin.

"This!" he announced holding out a bag of water, Rose moved her head back to try and get a look at the bag that was right up in her face; in the bag swimming around was a small,

"uh a white gold fish?" Rose said puzzled, out of everything in the universe the Doctor was existed like a little boy do to a gold fish? Rose peered around the bag and to look at the Doctor who was wearing a childish grin,

"Isn't he great Rose?" He said enthusiastically, Rose raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Um Doctor, not that he isn't a nice gold fish, but...you seem really excited about him, I mean more excited then one would normally be for getting such a boring pet," Rose said skeptically. The Doctor sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh Rose you're not looking at the big picture, this isn't any normally gold fish, oi and he's not 'boring'" The Doctor walked beside Rose and put his arm around her shoulder, "this little guy is from the Hath's home world. Their great pets, you never have to worry about over or under feeding them," the Doctor said holding the bag in front of him and Rose. Rose turned her head to look at him.

"How so?" she asked. A smile played across the Doctor's face.

"I'll show you!" and with that the Doctor handed the bag to Rose and ran off, Rose taken aback by the sudden action nearly dropped the bag.

"Whoa!" she said getting a better grip on the bag, "Doctor!" she called, "be careful! I nearly dropped the little guy!"

"Sorry!" he called as he disappeared into the TARDIS. Rose sighed and looked at the little fish swimming around in the bag, a worried look slowly started to appear on her face.

"I really hope this is better then his other pets," she said chewing on her bottom lip. While Rose had been traveling with the Doctor in his 10th regeneration he had a thing for picking up pets, and a tendency for-well best word: 'neglecting' the proper care for them. Before Rose could reminiscent on the previous pets, the Doctor, came running back in the room with a small fish bowl filled with water. He came up to Rose and took the bag and poured the little fish into the bowl. Rose jumped back as water splashed out of the bowl.

"um Doctor, aren't you supposed to let the bag sit in the water first?" The Doctor shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't need to, that's what's so great about these little guys," he said place the bowl down on the consol. "Now watch this Rose."

He pulled a small orange and green bag from his coat and tore the corner off, and dropped a few flacks into the bowl. Rose watched as the fish swam happily around eating the flacks of food.

"Awe, he is pretty cute," she said. Suddenly the water around the fish bubbled and the fish grew and his fin turned a golden orange, Rose jumped back.

"He grew!" she announced surprised and looked at the Doctor, who was smiling with a big 'I told you so' smile.

"You see Rose," he said placing an arm around her shoulder, "these little fellas grow and change colors when their fed, then when they shrink back down and go white you know it's time to feed them again. See no worries about under, or over feeding, aren't they just brilliant!" He said merrily.

"And that is why it's a gold fish in the swimming pool Mickey, not a wale," Rose said.

"But wait," Mickey protested, "I thought you said he'd shrink back down?" Rose let out an exasperated sigh.

"He won't stop feeding it!"

Just then the Doctor came in the room. "Why hello Micky-Mic-Mic-Man, admiring my gold fish are ya?" He said merrily walking up to the side of the pool with a container of fish food in his hand.

Mickey raised his eyebrow, "Yeah, what you say his name was Rose?" Rose sigh.

"Ask him, he keeps changing it," she said gesturing towards the Doctor. Mickey looked over at the Doctor waiting for an answer. The Doctor smiled widely.

"Fredric, Ide, Sam, Hamlet!" he said beaming proudly, Rose rolled her eyes.

"Are you ever gonna keep any of the names the same besides Hamlet?" She questioned. The Doctor just shrugged and proceeded to pour the entire contents of the fish food container into the pool. Mickey jumped back as Hamlet the 'wale' came up to the side of the pool to eat the food, causing water to splash over the edge.

"Um Doctor, shouldn't you wait till he shrinks back down before feeding him again?" Mickey asked.

The Doctor turned at looked at Mickey with his eyebrow raised; giving him a 'Mickey's an idiot,' look.

"Now listen here Mickey," he said walking up to him, "If I stopped feeding Filles Ivan Stan Hamlet, he'd shrink back down and would be to small for the pool," he said in a matter of fact tone.

"Yeah and that would be bad," Rose said sarcastically. The Doctor spun around and looked at Rose.

"Yes that would be 'very' bad; who would I go swimming with!"

Rose had to hold back the laughter that was building up, "You couldn't get a rubber ducky like a normal kid, could you?" The Doctor wrinkled his nose.

"Rubber ducky?" He said disgusted, "then I'd be like Ernie, from Sesame Street." He then added, "And There is no way I wait to be associated with an orange puppet."

Rose rolled her eyes –which seemed to be a common occurrence now that Hamlet has join them, "Fine, you win," she said as she left the Doctor by the pool 'over?' feeding his fish.
