And now for some fluff!

Rose tries to cajole the Doctor into coming in to eat dinner, when she finds him sulking outside over an embarrassing situation.

Written for the prompt "Never again" from Timepetalsprompts over on Tumblr, and for a prompt whose origin I don't know, that involved someone (it may even have been specific to the Doctor) being beaten at Mario Kart by everyone else in the family. Please inform me if you know the origin of this prompt, so I can give that person the credit and thanks they deserve.

Rose sat down beside the Doctor, sulking on the front steps of the Tyler mansion. "C'mon. Mum says dinner's nearly ready."

"Sod off!"

"Very nice!"

"Never again! I'm not going back in there to be… ridiculed!"

"He's only five years old."

"That's just the point! Tony's five. I've got a good millennium on him and–"

Rose chuckled, cutting him off. "Doctor, even if he beats you at Mario Kart, you're still his hero."

"He called me 'A big Martian loser'."

"There's banana cream pie for pudding…, and time for a rematch..."

"Alright. But this time, I'm playing as Bowser!"
