Pranks for the Memories

Chapter 4 The Vampire From Gallifrey

Rose was just a bit jumpy while they were watching TV, mostly because the Doctor hadn't pranked her in awhile.

The Doctor would shift in his seat and Rose would nearly jump out of her skin, anticipating the onslaught of whatever the Doctor seemingly had planned for her.

She would then realize that nothing was going to get her, the Doctor would give her a look, and she would smile and sit back down. This went on for quite a while. By the time Rose decided to go to bed, she was checking around every corner.

Everything seemed to be fine as Rose crawled under the duvet of her bed. She turned off the lamp next to her bed and closed her eyes, finally relaxing. Then, as she was just starting to drift off, she thought she heard the faint sound of somebody running past her door.

She got up and walked towards the door. She didn't need to open the door to see what was going on, however, because Jack burst through the door before she could get to it.

"Rose. Good, he hasn't got to you yet." Jack said, out of breath, as closed the door. He lock it and collapsed on her bed.

Rose was thoroughly confused when Jack decided to speak.

"You're probably wondering why I'm here." He said, trying to catch his breath.

Rose stared at him."No, I just stare at you in confusion for my health."

Jack smiled."Point taken. The Doctor has gone insane."

Rose shrugged. "So? he's always insane."

Jack shook his head."No, you don't understand. He was chasing me through the TARDIS, he had these weird eye teeth; if I didn't know any better, I'd say he was..." Jack stopped.

Rose frowned and walked closer to Jack. "He was what?"

Jack shook his head. "Nah, he couldn't be, they're just legends."

Rose stared a hole through him."What, what is he?"

"I think he's a vampire." Rose looked shocked, but then recovered and started laughing.

"No, he's not a vampire, because this is all some elaborate plan at my expense." Rose said, a look of satisfaction on her face.

Jack looked stunned for a moment, then got up and headed toward the door.

"Ok, fine, I'm gonna go to the console room, figure out how to land this thing and get out of here before the Doctor finds me. Go ahead and be an appetizer for the Doctor!" Jack said loudly as he unlocked the door and stormed out.

Rose shut the door and sat on her bed, thinking about what Jack said. She decided to worry about it later and go back to bed. Rose just started to fall back to sleep when she heard a loud scream close by. She sat bolt upright in bed and turned on the light.

Rose ran towards the door and opened it. A shocking sight met her on the other side. Jack laid in front of her door, deathly pale with blood on his shirt.

Rose was in complete shock as she checked to see if he was still alive. Jack was really cold when she touched his arm. Rose was horrified when she realized there were two puncture wounds in Jack's neck.

She started to sob as a shadowy figure came up behind her.

"Rose." She jumped at the sound of her name.

Rose turned around, relieved to see the Doctor standing in front of her.

"Oh, Doctor, I'm so glad to see you. Something terrible has happened to Jack...he's dead." Rose said, tears welling up in her eyes.

The Doctor enveloped her in a hug, Rose thankful that he was there. Rose didn't notice the enormous pair of fangs that were almost sunk into her neck. The Doctor managed to control himself however.

"Jack was acting really weird before he died. He said you were a vampire." The Doctor laughed a little under his breath.

"Oh, I'm a vampire, Rose." Rose looked panicked as he bared his fangs.

"But..." Rose stuttered as the Doctor slowly backed her against the wall.

"And now, my dear, sweet, lovely Rose, it is time to say goodnight." The Doctor said as he grabbed her, fangs at the ready.

Rose knew it was the end, knew she couldn't fight the Doctor off, so she closed her eyes and braced herself for what would happen next.

She realized she wasn't done for when she didn't feel any pain. She opened her eyes and saw the Doctor smiling his manic smile at her, with Jack's laughter in the background. She glanced down to see Jack getting up, a goofy grin on his face.

"The look on your face was priceless, Rose!" The Doctor said as he pulled the fake fangs out of his mouth. Rose squirmed out of the Doctor's grip and walked towards her bedroom door, more than angry at the Doctor and Jack.

"Oh look, she's stunned speechless at the brilliance of our plan!" Jack said, to which Rose turned around, a fiery look on her face, Jack cowering slightly.

"No, I'm not stunned speechless, I'm planning on getting my own back, thank you very much!" Rose all but shouted, then stomped into her room and slammed the door.
