Chapter 4: cat ahem Timelord fight!
After an hour or so of walking Rose's thoughts suddenly switched to the absent member that they had forgotten about.
"Shouldn't we see where Mickey is Doctor?" she asked ten.
Before ten could answer "Mickey? Who's he when he's at home then?"
"Her boyfriend, Mickey the idiot" ten whispered the last bit.
"Leave him alone, let me give him a ring and find out where he is and we'll meet him there" she said as she let go of each of their hands and brought her phone out of her pocket and dialled Mickey's number.
After a few moments of silence Mickey answered.
"Mickey it's Rose…….yeah we found something interesting…….yea we have……..yea I did…….no I'm fine don't worry bout me, just a bit you know……any way where are you?...there, Mickey why the hell did you go there of all places?...did you find anything?...you serious Mickey, but you know the rules and all that…….any way met us.. I don't know at….yea there'll do ok let me just tell him and we'll be there soon…..ok bye" she terminated the call
"Where is he then?" ten asked her as she put the phone in her pocket.
"At the estate, to more specific, 'is Gran's place, only difference in this universe she never died, that's what he found, was just reminding 'im of what you told me" she said her lips in a worried line.
"Just what we need, you should look after your companions a little better not let them go wondering off in a different universe" reprimanded nine to ten.
"Oi you when I want advice I'll ask for it, I don't need you telling me how to look after my companions" ten stated angrily.
"Well maybe you should take better care of them, Rassilion knows the damage he could do here" nine said just as angrily.
"For your information I look after my companions very well thankyou"
"Yeah, let all your companions absorb the vortex then" shouted nine
"Look here you….." ten didn't get very far when Rose quickly went into the middle of the two of them pushing them both back from one another forcibly.
"Right that is enough! You two are acting like children not 900 year old Timelords, now apologise to one another!" she said to the two of them angrily hands on her hips staring each of them down daring them to disobey her.
"Now or I'll slap you" she warned. Ten wondered silently if she slapped like Jackie, going from the look on her face and the way that she sounded like Jackie when she was angry, he took that as an affirmative.
"Look we better apologise to one another, I know her mother and if Jackie's slaps are anything to go on then we better do as Rose say's" ten warned nine, who looked like puppy waiting to be kicked.
"Oh don't think I won't slap you for that comment Doctor, or on second thoughts I'll just tell mum" she glared at him.
"Alright, alright, look 'm sorry for what ever it was I did to you, though I must say it was you who started it and accused me of doing something that…OW!! ROSE!!" Rose had hit his arm quite hard; he looked over to her noticing her angered look. Looking at his ninth self he noted the amused smug grin on his face, which quickly disappeared when Rose turned on him, her look demanding him to apologise.
"Alright, look you do an alright….a very good job at looking after your companions, happy" nine asked ten
"Well I am, apology accepted, thankyou" Rose continued to glare at ten "fine I'm sorry too, there I said it, but I didn't mean it" ten said the last bit under his breath.
Rose rolled her eyes and walked off ahead of them towards the estate going to get Mickey and some shed of sanity.
On second thought she'd rather be in the TARDIS.
With no life support.
"We have to go and get Mickey before he does any damage" Rose called over her shoulder at the two mildly ego bruised Doctor's.
"Yes onwards to find the idiot" said ten hurrying over to Rose and slipping his hand in hers.
"Stop calling 'im an idiot"
"So why'd he go to his Gran's place" the Doctor entirely disregarded Rose's reproach.
"Guess he wanted to check if she was alive" Rose said quietly
"What happened to her?" he asked seriously.
"Mickey's mum just couldn't cope. His dad hung around for a while, but then he just sort of wandered off. He was brought up by his gran." she smiles "She was such a great woman. God, she used to slap him!" Rose looks serious again"And then she died. She tripped and fell down the stairs. It's about five years ago, now. I was still in school"
"I never knew" he looks away
"Well, you never asked" she states
"You never said!" he says accusingly, Rose turns away, a look of sudden regret on her face, mixed with guilt.
"That's Mickey. I s'pose I-- we just... take him for granted. I can't believe that she's still alive" she breathed.
"Well we better go find him, no telling what he could do; we can't go messing around in a different world's time line and such" he points out to her again.
"Oh doing a great job of that aren't you?" the sarcastic remark filters into their conversation.
"Now look here…" ten rounds up on ten
"That is ENOUGH!! This is getting ridiculous, there is something weird going on here, so let's do our job and find out what it is. And when we do that you two can bitch slap and fight all you want" she tells the two of them while taking ten's arm roughly and drags him away from staring nine down, who is staring right back.
'Yep TARDIS without life support is looking much better'
