Tennis

A/N: Thanks for the prompt from bookworm199612 and to KirbsX, Mirder Mystery and TimeGhost823 for reviewing! Oh, and I'm not the world's biggest tennis fan (I never was, I began to warm up to it on the same day I began to loathe it again for landing me on crutches) and I apologize for any mistakes in the gameplay.

"You have a tennis court in the TARDIS?" Rose scoffed disbelievingly. She had mentioned that she had liked to play tennis when she was younger and that was his response. "If I'd wanted you to take the mick-"

"But I'm not! Come on!" He cried, bounding off. Rose sighed and rolled her eyes before setting off after him.

Well, he most certainly hadn't been lying. He really did have a tennis court in the TARDIS. He grabbed a racquet and handed Rose another with a ball.

"Best of three sets? I'll serve first!" He grinned.

The TARDIS commentated the match in a boring old man's voice which very nearly succeeded in putting Rose off.

Nearly.

The first point went to Rose on the advantage.

"Not bad." He commented on her skills as he bounced the ball with his racquet. He whacked the ball hard and fast, earning himself an ace.

"Not bad at all." He quipped, grinning.

The Doctor went on to win that point and the four that followed, leaving Rose slightly disgruntled.

"What?" He asked.

Rose won the next set easily, but frowning.

"Did you let me win?" She asked.

"But you were angry that I won?" He asked, perplexed. His eyebrows furrowed as he tutted. "Humans." He muttered under his breath.

"Time Lords." Rose muttered back, grinning as her tongue poked out between her teeth.

They were at the match point in last set when The Doctor's hit bounced slightly out of the lines, yet he was given the point.

"Where's the umpire? That was definitely out!" Rose protested.

"That was a perfectly legal shot." The Doctor said evenly, without missing a beat.

"It was not and you know it." Rose said. The Doctor shrugged innocently.

"If you say so."

"I do say so." Rose replied rather childishly. The Doctor grinned and lined up his serve as Rose dropped her racquet and clambered over the net, the grin falling off his face as she did so.

"That's definitely not legal." He told her, smirking. She shrugged and came over as he tried to play the serve regardless.

He got the shot off in the end, only for it to be miles off the court as Rose kissed him, effectively silencing him.

The point went to Rose, giving her the point and winning her the game.

"That was not legal!" He protested weakly, a slightly dazed smile on his face. Rose gave a sly smile.

"Of course it was."
