Captain Jack and Cleaning his Room
The challenge had been issued, and Captain Jack's inner competitivity would not let him lose. Especially to Rose, who was acting so bloody smug. He planned to burst that blonde's bubble big time.
He kept himself in check, especially around her. If he heard music he thought of something else. More often than not, the mental image of Rose's expression as he won the game would be enough.
Rose, on the other hand, felt she had the game already won. She knew Jack. She knew he couldn't resist a good song and dance. She just knew it was a matter of time before he broke. All she had to do was wait, and the night out with the Doctor was hers.
The first point of the war was scored one fateful night as the TARDIS landed in Cardiff to refuel.
"Right! Who wants chips?" the Doctor had asked.
"We do!" Jack and Rose replied enthusiastically like two small children.
The Doctor frowned. "No. You two have been acting like slobs lately. Sullying up my beautiful time machine. I'm goin' out while you two stay here and clean your rooms."
"What are you, my mother?" Rose said teasingly.
"I'm the Doctor. I'm worse than any mum." he opened the door of the TARDIS, grinning at them. "Toodaloo."
With that, Rose and Jack were alone. Reluctantly, they walked down the cooridor to their rooms to clean. As you can imagine, it wasn't long before the TARDIS started playing music. Jack resisted the urge to sing, but it was hard. Especially since Rose wasn't in the same room like usual. This made Jack grin. He knew EXACTLY what to do.
Jack walked out of his room and down the hall a bit it Rose's door. He knocked then called, "Rose, I'm going to make some tea you want any?"
"No thanks." Rose called, her voice muffled by her door.
"Alright." Jack said, and walkeddown the hall. However, he only went a little ways before silently sneaking back. Now all he had to do was wait. It was only a matter of time.
After only a few minutes, the volume of the music got louder, and a song played Jack knew Rose wouldn't be able to resist. He smiled. Seems the TARDIS was on his side. Now it was only a matter of time before Rose's voice rang through the door.
It didn't take long. Jack smirked as he heard Rose's voice ring through her room.
"Friday night and the lights are low...
Lookin' out for a place to go...
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You've come to look for a king!"
Jack stifled a laugh as he pictured Rose dancing in her room.
"Anybody could be that guy...
The night is young and the music's high...
With a bit of rock music, everything's fine
You're in the mood for a dance...
And when you get the chance..."
Jack silently opened her door to see Rose climbing on her bed, her hairbrush in her hand. She started jumping, singing at the top of her lungs.
"You are a dancing queen!
Young and sweet! Only seventeen!"
She shook her hips to the beat of the piano as she danced around on her bed dramatically, singing into her hairbrush.
"Dancing queen!
Feel the beat from the tambarine!
Oh yeah!"
She jumped and landed, pointing at herself in a mirror across the room.
"You can dance!
You can jive!
Having the time of your life!"
She did a pop and lock move to the beat, doing a hip movement Jack found clumbsy but incredibly attractive.
"Oo oo oo!
See that girl!
Watch that scene!
Diggin' the dancing queen!"
Jack smiled as she continued her tantalizing but clumbsy dance. It was like she had done these moves so many times she knew them by heart, but didn't feel like doing them right. She continued to sing into thee hairbrush as Jack tried not to laugh.
"You're a teaser you turn em on...
Leave em burning and then you're gone.
Lookin out for another
Any one will do.
You're in the mood for a dance...
And when you get the chance..."
She started a combination of dancing and jumping on her bed.
"You are a dancing queen!
Young and sweet! Only seventeen!
Dancing queen!
Feel the beat from the tambourine!
Oh yeah!"
She did the pop and lock move again, once again pointing at the mirror. Jack smiled. Who knew Rose could put on such a show?
"You can dance!
You can jive!
Having the time of your life!
Oo oo oo!
See that girl!"
She jammed on an air guitar to the musical pause.
"Watch that scene!"
She spun around and stomped, pointing at herself in te mirror in one dramatic pose.
"Diggin the dancing queen!"
The music faded, and Jack beamed away as Rose's breathing attempted to even out. She fopped down on her bed, and something caught the corner of her eye. She turned, and her face soon displayed a look of shock.
Jack just beamed away, relishing in the moment. Ahhh, revenge was sweet.
"Why-wha-how?" Rose stammered, leaping up and stomping to the doorway.
"Whole time." Jack said.
"You were going to make tea!" Rose said.
"And I changed my mind."
Jack let out his supressed laughter, making Rose turn pink. He just grinned at her. "Score: Harkness - one. Tyler - zero."
He turned and went back to his room. Now, Rose was fuming. "You'd better watch it, harkness! You're a dead man now!"
But Jack simply flashed her a grin as she shut her door. He laughed once more. Seemed now he needed to be careful. Still, even if he lost that show had been worth it, and as he went back to his room he contemplated one thing...
How would the Doctor feel about installing a pole in the TARDIS?
