Chapter 21 Calling London
Rose quickly locked the door to the TV room, then ran over to where Jack was perched on the sofa. Jack shushed her as the phone in his hand rang several times before a click sounded from the other end. The distant sound of Jackie's voice floated into Jack's ear before he cleared his throat through the voice changer.
"Hello Jackie, this is the Doctor." Rose and Jack waited for Jackie to respond and confirm whether she bought Jack as the Doctor.
"Doctor, has something happened to Rose as to why you're calling?" Jack grinned and maneuvered the voice changer so he could give Rose a thumbs up.
"Yes, something's happened and Rose thought I should tell you the good news."
"What good news? What's happened?"
Jack found himself suppressing a laugh as he said,"We recently stopped at a vacation planet and got married. It was a very touching ceremony; Rose thinks you would have loved it."
Rose couldn't help but laugh when Jack had to hold the phone away from his ear. After a few minutes, Jack put the phone up to his ear.
"You want us to be at the flat in five minutes? Sure, see you then," Jack said before ending the call.
"Thanks for taking care of phase one, Jack."
"No problem. I want to know how we're going to get the Doctor to your mum's flat, though."
Rose raised an eyebrow and walked towards the door.
"Leave that to me, I'll take care of the Doctor."
"Ok, we've landed. I honestly don't know why you want to see your mother again since you just saw her two days ago," the Doctor said with a sour look on his face.
"We'll only be here a few minutes. After that, we can go to the first weird alien planet that comes to your mind," Rose said before she stepped through the double doors.
The Doctor took a few minutes to mentally prepare himself before he walked through the doors. He glanced over his shoulder when he got the feeling he was being followed. Jack smiled and waved in response. The Doctor rolled his eyes and continued forward. He stopped at the base of the stairs before he glanced up towards the top. From the Doctor's standpoint, Jackie looked to be in the middle of a heated lecture directed at Rose.
Jackie suddenly turned to look at the Doctor and headed down the stairs, an emotion he couldn't quite place set on her face. The moment she came to the last step, Jackie looked the Doctor in the eye and let loose a stream of sentences that seemed to traveling be faster than light. The Doctor frowned at her rapid-fire delivery and decided to try and pick out the main ideas. "How could you?" and the phrase "speedy divorce" were all he could pick out.
"Jackie, slow down and take it from the top." Jackie sucked in a deep breath.
"You called and told me that you and Rose got married!" The Doctor looked dumbfounded as Jackie's words sank in.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I know what I heard, Doctor," Jackie said as she folded her arms.
"I don't know what you've hallucinated, but Rose and I are not-" the Doctor stopped when he heard laughter.
"Hold on a tick." The Doctor walked over to the stairs as Rose made her way down, laughing as she went. The Doctor narrowed his eye and pointed an accusatory finger at Rose, then stormed back to the TARDIS. This action only made Rose laugh harder.
"Would someone please tell me what's going on?" Jackie asked as Jack came to stand at the bottom of the stairs. Before they could give her an answer, Mickey walked into view, an irate look on his face.
He caught sight of Rose and asked,"Would you please tell me why you got to the Doctor without even telling me that we're through?" Jack continued to laugh while Rose caught her breath.
Rose moved closer to Mickey before she said,"This has go on long enough. I think it's time I started explaining."
