Chapter Three
"So, what do we do first?" the Doctor asked, settling back in his chair.
"Well, who do you want to be?" Rose asked, indicating the game pieces.
Doctor shrugged.
"Doesn't matter to me. Pick one," he said.
Rose grinned and picked up the red game piece.
"Okay, you can be Miss Scarlett then."
The Doctor paused with his burger in mid-air.
"I can be who?" he asked her.
"Miss Scarlett. That's who the red game piece represents."
She giggled, as the Doctor eyed her.
"Hey, you said to go ahead and pick one," she said.
"Well, if there are gender assignments to these pieces I would appreciate if you picked a male one," he said.
"Well, we have Mister Green, Professor Plum, and Colonel Mustard," she said.
The Doctor thought for a moment.
"Professor Plum. I like purple," he said.
Rose handed him the piece, and he sat it on the board in front of him.
"Mickey?" she said.
"Give me Colonel Mustard."
"Well, as for me, I'll be Miss Scarlett," she said, taking the red piece and setting it in front of her.
She looked over, as the Doctor chuckled.
"What?" she asked.
"When you said that, an image of you in Gone with the Wind popped in my head." He said. "I can just imagine you in one of the dresses they used to wear. You'd be bitchin' and moanin' the entire time."
"Actually, if you really wanna make Rose really uncomfortable, why don't you go somewhere where the woman don't wear much kit?" he asked.
The Doctor grinned evilly, as Rose stared at Mickey, horrified.
"That's a good idea, Smith. There is one place I know of. A planet named Balicorius where woman by law have to go around with just a tiny loincloth on. I think that'll be the perfect place to take Rose."
The Doctor and Mickey giggled, as Rose's mouth fell open.
"Don't you dare take me there!" she said, as Mickey and the Doctor chortled.
"Why not? If you can handle wearing a lot of clothes, surely you wouldn't have a problem not wearing much of anything."
He grinned evilly.
"Besides, Mickey and I would enjoy the view."
He and Mickey fell about laughing while Rose glared at them.
The Doctor looked at Mickey.
"You notice she's gone quiet," he said, gesturing to her.
"Yeah, cause she knows you'll do it," Mickey said.
"That I would."
The Doctor and Mickey snickered when Rose rolled her eyes.
"Would ya just roll the bloody dice so we can see who goes first?" she asked.
She sighed, as the Doctor handed her the dice.
"Men…" she muttered, as the Doctor and Mickey looked at each other and giggled.

The Doctor took a bite of his hamburger while the three of them took turns rolling the dice to see who went first. Rose smiled when she got the highest number. Picking up a chip, she munched on it, as she rolled the dice and moved her piece four spaces along the game board.
The Doctor took a sip of Coke, as he rolled and moved six spaces. He munched on a chip while Mickey rolled and moved five spaces. They continued to roll and move their pieces until Rose finally came to the lounge and went inside.
"Right," she said." Now I have to suggest a person and a weapon to go with this room, and if you guys have any of the things I mention in your cards, show one of them to me, and we'll check them off on our little game pads."
She sat and thought for a moment while Mickey and the Doctor munched on their food.
Rose smiled, as she brought the Doctor's game piece into the lounge.
"I think it was Professor Plum…"
"Me?" the Doctor said incredulous. "I'm innocent."
Rose snorted.
"Sure ya are," she said.
The Doctor poked her in the side while she stared at the assortment of weapons.
"Okay…I'll say," Rose said, reaching for a weapon. "I'll say Professor Plum, in the Lounge, with the Revolver."
She glanced at the Doctor who examined his cards. He smiled when he held up the revolver card. Rose nodded, and all of them marked it off on their game pads.
The Doctor reached for his piece. Rose stopped.
"No, you leave it if someone puts it in a room." She said.
"Oh." The Doctor replied, moving his hand back.
Rose stared at him.
"I thought you said you could remember everything when you read the rules," she said, smirking
"Oh I did remember. But then, Mickey mentioned taking you someplace where you would be naked for all intents and purposes, and the thought of your breasts flapping in the breeze on Balicorius interfered with my mind and caused me to blank out on the rules."
Rose glared at him while Mickey and the Doctor bent over laughing.
"I am so gonna strangle you Mickey for putting that in his mind," Rose said, to him.
"Aw, don't worry, Mickey. When we get to Balicorius she'll be too busy using her hands to cover her breasts up to strangle you," he said to him.
Rose glared at them while the Doctor kissed her cheek.
"Anyway," the Doctor said, ignoring Rose's look of death. "I believe it's my turn."
He paused for a moment, as he stared at his game piece. Then, with a sigh, he leaned back.
"Okay, Mickey, go," he said.
Rose frowned.
"You didn't go anywhere," she said, gesturing to his piece.
"Nope. And I'm not gonna go anywhere either."
"Why?"
The Doctor gestured to her piece that was right beside his.
"Because you're in the room, so therefore, I am staying where I can keep an eye on you."
He giggled when Rose shot him a look.
"Doctor, move," she said, exasperated.
"No, I won't move an inch. If there's a murderer in the house, I'm not gonna go off and leave you to his mercy."
He and Mickey giggled, as Rose rolled her eyes.
"What? Any other time you would want my protection," the Doctor said to her.
"Move, Doctor."
"But Rose, there's a maniac loose in the house."
"Move, Doctor."
"What if I go somewhere else, and the murderer jumps out of the shadows behind you and hurts you, and I won't be able to get back to you in time because I'm somewhere else?"
"Move your bloody game piece, Doctor!" Rose said exasperated.
The Doctor grinned, gave a shrug and picked up the dice.
"Okay, but if you get hit over the head with a two by four, don't come crying to me."
He paused and stared at the weapons.
"Oh, sorry, no two by four…a lead pipe then," he said, as Rose eyed him.
He rolled a three and moved out of the room. He turned his piece around pretending to look back at her.
"Don't worry, my Rose," he said, melodramatically. "I will stand guard here at the door in case that murdering bastard tries anything."
"Geez," Rose muttered, as he and Mickey giggled.
The Doctor looked at Mickey.
"Brave little Rose. She thinks she can hold off the murderer by herself," he said.
"Mickey, go, please! Don't encourage him." Rose said, as Mickey and the Doctor giggled.
