Hey everyone! Here's another silly little one shot in the lives of 9 and Rose. Hope you like it! Let me know your thoughts and if I should continue these.
"Why couldn't he come along? Poor guy just needed a ride home."Rose wondered, sitting cross legged in the jump seat as the Doctor typed a long string of code into the console. They had just come back from a planet overrun by space gypsies, some of whom had begged a lift.
"Rose, I didn't trust him. Besides, you only wanted him along because he was a bit pretty." He replied somewhat gruffly and without looking away from the screens.
"What?"
"Ugh, you heard me."
"Yeah, but what did I hear? Was that jealousy?" The Doctor could tell she was grinning just from the sound of her voice and it only served to irritate him more.
"You're hearing things."
"No..nope, that was definitely jealousy in your voice just then." Rose continued, playfully nudging his shoulder.
"You're delusional. Probably dangerously ill. You should see a doctor." The Doctor answered, now determined that he would not look at her.
"Funny. I thought I was seein one right now." She laughed
"I'm not that kind of doctor."
"Oooh, so there is somethin you can't do." Rose grinng again, sticking her tongue out when he broke and finally looked at her.
"You got me. My one flaw. I can't fix your broken head."
"Ha, or yours neither. Anyway, you've got nothin to be jealous about. Josh wasn't all that pretty. He was no Jack."
"What?!" That was the final straw. She knew perfectly well that he didn't like to be reminded of the incessant flirtation Jack had kept up with Rose.
"Ugh, you heard me." She answered, mimicking his earlier words.
"Yeah, but what did I hear? Nevermind me, what about Ricky the Idiot back home?" The Doctor said, thinking he could play her game too if he had to.
"Relax, I was just teasin a bit. And don't call Mickey an idiot. He's got loads of smarts." Rose defended, now without the silliness.
"He's just saving them up for later?" The Doctor smirked, returning to the screens
"Well, really, I think he doesn't realize what he could do. He's a mechanic, yeah? But he'd only been workin there for a year when they were already they're callin on 'im for all the new models or electrical works." Rose answered proudly.
"Sorry. I won't call Ricky an idiot. In fact, I'll do you one better. I'll stop mentioning him at all. Ever." The Doctor told her. He didn't like the affectionate way she spoke of her old boyfriend. It made him...uneasy.
"There it is again." Rose's eyes lit up with a mischievous sparkle.
"What?"
"The green eyed monster."
"I am NOT jealous of Ricky the- of Mickey." The Doctor exploded, staring at her like she'd gone mad.
"Whatever you say." She shrugged, "How long're these calibrations meant to take? I feel like I might fall asleep." Rose yawned, deciding she would give him a break.
"Yeah, go ahead. It'll be a bit before it's all ready to go. I'll wake you up when it's done and you can decide where you want to go next, right?" The Doctor answered, relieved that the game seemed over.
Rose gave him a sweet smile, "Thanks, sounds brilliant. See you later!" She yawned again and waved as she went off to sleep.
The Doctor watched her walk out of the room, "Yeah. See me later. Not Josh...or Jack...or Ricky...the Idiot." He mumbled, typing even faster so they could be on their way.
