'You've got a date?!' The Doctor nearly choked on his tea, which he was enjoying sitting at the kitchen table. Donna had just returned home after visiting the grocery store, and while she was putting the groceries away , she revealed that she had a date that night.
'Yes, me , Alien Boy. Just because I hang around with you , doesn't mean that I can't get a date elsewhere' she joked, putting away the milk in the fridge.
'I didn't say you couldn't. I'm just surprised that's all', the Doctor admitted, receiving a glare from Donna from across the kitchen.
If looks could kill. Well, if they could make him regenerate. Fast.
'Surprised? What do you mean, SURPRISED! Can't I use my womanly wiles to get a man?!' she retorted, the Doctor making a non comital expression on his face.
'Welll..'
'Don't you well me!' she shot back at him, picking up another heavy grocery bag from the bench.
'Let me help you with that' the Doctor offered, getting up from his seat.
'About time Space Man that you offered to help me put away these groceries. Oh sit down, I don't want you to break a finger nail' waving a hand at him, the Doctor pouting as he sat back down at the table, and resumed to his tea.
It fell silent, the only sounds were the two of them , Donna opening and closing cupboard doors and the Doctor with his tea.
It wasn't quiet for long.
'Oh My God, can't you drink tea like a normal person!' Donna shouted.
'Donna, you know fully well that I'm not a ' Normal' person' The Doctor explained , giving her that look that she had said something silly.
'Yeah.. you said it. But seriously, can you NOT slurp your tea? Its disgusting! Is that like some weird Time Lord thing?'
'Yes. Right. Sorry' he apologised. Then he spoke up
'How did you manage a date?'
'In the produce section. He had his bananas hanging over the edge'
The Doctor looked guenially surprised.
'The bananas hanging over the edge? That doesn't sound nice at all'
He must've had a weird expression on his face, as the next thing Donna yelled was:
'NOT IN THAT WAY! Geez, you have a sick mind!'
'Well, what else was I supposed to think Donna!'
'In the trolley you idiot. The trolley!' as she put away the last item, and walked over to the table.
'You're going to be polite to this man tonight, you hear me Space Man. I haven't had a date for ages. Got it?!' The Doctor nodded.
'Yes. Of course I will'
'Good' as she spun around, leaving the Doctor alone, sipping the rest of his tea, wondering who was about to take his Earth Girl out.
As the doorbell rang later that night, The Doctor heard Donna shout from her room upstairs. Thank goodness he had sent Sylvia and Wilf out. He didn't want any embarrassment from them tonight, for Donna's sake.
Sent them was a term he liked. More like conjured up tickets to a play for them.
'Can you get that Doctor? I'm not ready yet, and again , be polite!'
He wasn't sure who got the biggest shock as he opened the door. Donna didn't give him the name of who she was going out with.
The other man didn't know that the Doctor would be opening the door, he was expecting Donna.
'Heya Doc. I'm here for Donna' the tall lanky figure of Jack Harkness, beaming away at the shocked Time Lord.
