Now we're getting into Series 3, with this one from S3E02 - The Shakespeare Code. Martha's POV. Enjoy, please review, and no, nothing in here's mine.


Sharing with the Doctor

"I've got your room, sir Doctor. You and Miss Jones are just across the landing."
Hold on, were they putting us I the same room? Well, I guess back then, or, umm, now, whatever, they would have assumed that a man and a woman travelling together were married. This could be interesting...

Wondering what he'd make of it, I commented on there being only one bed as soon as we got inside the room.
"We'll manage, come on," he said, playing it cool. He lay down in the middle of the bed, and I tried to read his expression. Was he suggesting a strictly platonic bedshare, or something else? It was hard to tell. I lay down, and tried once more to lure some sort of giveaway reaction out of him.
"Sorry, there's not much room. Us two here, same bed. Tongues will wag." I resisted the urge to bat my eyelashes at him to make sure he got the point.

We seemed to be getting somewhere, with the two of us lying close together, facing each other. He was talking about missing something that was staring him right in the face, and I smiled sweetly at him. Any second now, he'd probably...

...mention Rose. Right. I was just the other woman, the rebound. And on top of that, he had to point out that he would take me back the next day anyway, just to rub it in. Fine!


I just had to point out that I wrote this right after watching the episode, i.e. before I watched 'Gridlock'. I then found it quite funny when I saw the next one, and heard Martha's line "Ever heard the word 'rebound'?" I guess that means I'm not too far off on this one... :)
