When Approaching an Ancient

"So what you're telling me is that the Ancients put your genetic codes into the TARDIS?" The Doctor asked as he leaned against the TARDIS's control panel watching as Thor pressed buttons and accessed information that the Doctor, in all his 900 years hadn't known was there.
"That is correct." Thor stated, it was hard to tell but as the Asgard alien had had to repeat itself several times now, so Rose was guessing he- it was a he right?
It was hard to tell, and Thor hadn't said either way- maybe the Asgard really are sexless? In any case it was pretty obvious to her that Thor was getting a little annoyed with the Doctor.
"Now why would they do that?" The Doctor questioned intent on getting at least some information from Thor. Thor only seemed to shrug off the Doctor's questions, except he didn't shrug at all -or blink a lot for that matter.
"I can't answer that. Would you move Doctor? I must retrieve the information." Frowning at Thor, the Doctor rolled his eyes and moved aside; after all it wouldn't do to aggravate their host.
Thor might decide to keep them aboard for longer then they really wanted to be on Thor's ship.
"Don't forget Thor you owe me one!" Yelled the Doctor as Thor moved hastily to the door of the TARDIS, which closed, and again they were surrounded with the silvery light.
The Doctor grumbled angered that he hadn't got any answers through Thor seemed to get all of his. Rose patted his shoulder comfortingly trying to hide her grin.
Sighing, the Doctor made his way to the TARDIS door, and Rose grinning followed him out. Only to be greeted by SG-1's wide grins- or in Teal'c's case, a small smirk.
"Hey Rose, I was thinking maybe we could go shopping." Sam asked grinning, Rose blinked and grinned nodding enthusiastically, grabbing the Majors hand and practically dragging her out of the 'Gate room.
The Doctor tensed, if there was one thing he didn't like it was shopping- or surprises, but it usually depended on the type of surprise. Although he really didn't like shopping, ranked up there with end of the world experiences- and dieing.
This really wasn't his day, first Rose gets interrogated, vague aliens, and now said interrogators were taking Rose shopping. The Doctor's honor wouldn't allow him to leave Rose alone until they left- for good- so the Doctor had no choice to go with Rose.
Grumbling the Doctor knew his feet were following Rose and Sam and he knew that Jack, Teal'c, and Daniel were following behind him. They piled into Jack's jeep.
Apparently Jack and Carter had cleared their little shopping trip with Hammond while the Doctor and Rose had been in the spaceship with Thor. The Doctor had nothing to do but watch while Sam and Rose went shopping for clothes.
Apparently the military felt generous when it came to alien technology.
The Doctor snickered, he and Teal'c had declined going into the mall while Daniel and Jack had decided to go in- if only because of Sam's glare. Of course he could have told them he could pay for Rose's shopping trip, but they were the ones who hadn't told him.
After three hours the Doctor had managed to shove the larva put of his head- literally and the two had spent the rest of the time bonding over numerous tic-tak-toe games and thumb wars.
Sam and Rose came back carrying the minimum while Daniel and Jack were carrying the bulk of it- Jack more so then Daniel.
Which is why the Doctor had no motive for going on this shopping trip, he always ended up carrying the bags, and other then that -to watch out for Rose.
Then again the three SG-1 members had proven that they were capable of protecting Rose. At their first shop- the gas station they had nearly been robbed and the SG-1 had done well enough at protecting his Rose even if he was right there.
"You realize you're sulking right?" Jack told him as he got in the jeep first, the Doctor only grumbled. Jack rolled his eyes- it figured a 900 year old alien would sulk when he had seen the people he was supposed to be protecting Rose from protect her instead.
"Enjoying your self Rose?" Sam asked smiling brightly at the teen. Rose nodded her eyes a sparkly and bright. The Doctor hunched lower in his seat silently vowing to take Rose to the most fantastic shopping mall in all of time and space.
Granted there were several of those and he didn't know if the TARDIS even with its endless amount of space- and changing corridors would be willing to store all the stuff Rose was sure to get.
"What did you acquire?" Teal'c asked Rose for the Doctor. As he knew the Time Lord, no matter how curious, would be to proud to ask until Rose told him.
"Some stuffed animals- including this adorable little artic fox. Lots of jewelry Sam picked out a matching necklace and earrings that I just had to have. Chocolate, flowers, and apology card–that went with the bear Jack thought looked cute. Of course lots of accessories though no clothes, though the cowboy hat wasn't really what I wanted." Rose bragged with a grin.
"Indeed." Teal'c nodded, and the Doctor could have sworn the Jaffa's dark eyes had glazed over at the 'artic fox' though that couldn't hide the amusement in them.
"So, where are we going now?" Rose asked Jack, just as the Doctor noticed that they weren't headed to the mountain base and stifled a groan. Apparently three hours of shopping wasn't enough for the Colonel.
"A car lot..." Were the Colonel's cryptic words and quickly had Rose squealing for joy.
The Doctor wondered how the man planned to give Rose a car if it wouldn't go through the TARDIS- and just when she would have time to drive it. A though struck the Doctor and his eyes widened in horror.
"Say, Rose, do you know how to drive?" Jack asked with a small smirk. Rose shook her head. Sam grinned at her commanding officer.
"Then Sam and I better teach you before you leave." Jack offered and the Doctor grumbled too softy for even Teal'c, who was sitting beside him, to hear.
"Oh really that'd be fantastic- wouldn't Doctor?" Rose asked and the Doctor shook himself out of his mood to grin at Rose. One thing was for certain he and a certain Colonel would be having words with each other when they got back to the base.
"Yap really…fantastic alright." The Doctor assured Rose just to please her. She smiled at him and went back to yammering on to Sam about what sort of car she wanted.
"Say Colonel the TARDIS probably won't fit a car," So not true but Jack didn't need to know that- and Rose had only seen two rooms in the TARDIS hers -and the control room. "So any ideas on where we can keep it?" The Doctor finished asking.
"Don't worry we'll keep it in storage for her when you return." Jack assured Rose and supposedly the Doctor.
So that's the plan, the Doctor thought, they are going to try make sure we return by giving Rose the car.
The Doctor snorted, he knew he could get the TARDIS to fit anything in her for Rose, even if it was a practically useless twenty first-century machine. He could always make adjustments, he was sure Rose wouldn't mind a flying car.
Rose ended up getting a Porsche Carrera GT- silver, with black leather seats. With the Doctor footing most of the bill up front- surprising the SG-1, some how making the military pay for that little beauty for his Rose felt a little too criminal.
AN: Sorry for the long wait. I do not own a silver Porsche Carrera GT with black leather seats.
Pretty though…
