"Rose…Rose…Rose!" The girl in question groaned sleepily.
"What?" She slowly opened her eyes to see the blurry face of the Doctor swimming into view.
"Come on. Up, lots to do today." Rose rolled onto her front.
"Go 'way," she mumbled. The Doctor frowned.
"Come on Rose. Get up, I'm bored," he stated.
"Tough." Came the tired reply. The Doctor sat down on the bed next to her head. He slid down until he was leaning casually against the headboard.
"I'll never understand you humans needing so much sleep. Waste of time really." Rose looked up at him wearily.
"You're not going to leave me alone are you?" The Doctor grinned at her.
"Nope."
Rose groaned and pulled herself up to rest next to him with a wide yawn, head resting on his shoulder.
"Don't get too comfy," he warned her as she closed her eyes again. "I want to do something today."
"Like what?"
"Well, since we usually end up stuck in the middle of trouble, I thought we'd be the cause of it for a change." Rose grinned sleepily at him as he rolled somewhat gracefully off the bed.
"Ok, ok, give me a minute," she sighed heavily. She slowly lent up onto her elbows and glanced up at the Doctor. "Where are we going then?"
The Doctor shrugged casually. "Don't know, we'll let the TARDIS decide shall we? We sure to find trouble if the old girl's in charge of the steering." The over head lights flickered angrily. "That's the only problem with having a sentient ship," the Doctor mumbled thoughtfully, gazing at the offending lights. "She's always listening."
Rose patted the wall beside her bed. "Don't worry girl, there's two of us and one of him. We'll get him back for the 'old' comment later."
"Charming. Gang up on me why don't you."
"Someone has to keep you in line," Rose said as she slowly maneuvered herself out of bed, somewhat reluctantly.
"And pity me that that someone is an ape." The Doctor barely managed to dodge the flying pillow. "Now, now, there will be no throwing of objects. Consol room, ten minutes," the Doctor ordered, bounding towards the door.
"Forty," Rose corrected as she finally stood up. The Doctor froze.
"Forty? Another thing I don't understand, why you insist on taking so long getting ready." Rose glared at him.
"Don't complain. You are giving me forty minutes to make myself nice and pretty."
"You're already nice and pretty," the Doctor told her. Rose looked at him, one eyebrow raised, unrelenting despite the compliment. He pouted. "Ok, thirty minutes, consol room."
"Deal." The Doctor grinned and left the room. Rose sighed again and slowly began deciding on her outfit for the day. She had a new top that needed a test drive.
