First Date (part 1)

(Okay this is set a week after The Party just so you know).

Disclaimer: Okay who thinks I can get the BBC to give me Doctor Who for my birthday? Or maybe just a really cool Christmas episode with the tenth and ninth Doctors both in it? Or do you think they'll be mean and say no? No, I don't own Doctor who the most I own is a half-eaten mouldy piece of cake.


Rose turned as she heard jack enter her room. He had moved in shortly after meeting them whilst the Doctor was still on the Tardis. She held up the red satin low cut dress for him to see.

"Do you think this is too much or not posh enough or…" She asked her voice filled with worry, this would be her first date with the Doctor and she wanted it to be perfect.

"Rose it's fine so don't worry. Now come on you have 30minuiets before Doc gets here." He told her turning to leave. Rose gasped wishing she had the benefits of a tardis knowing she would make them late she pushed Jack out of her room hard slamming the door shut to get changed.


"So did you really expect Rose to be ready on time, Doc? 'Cause if so it really backfired." Jack told the youngish looking man standing before him.

"No but there is half an hour before we have to leave. I planned ahead." The Doctor smiled listening for any sign that Rose was coming. He had arrived a 6.30pm and it was now 8.00pm. if Jack tried to get him to play a drinking game one more time he knew Rose would have to get used to the fact her best friend had been wiped from existence.

"Hey wanna play truth or dare beer version." Jack asked for the eighth time in ten minuets. The Doctor heard a slight creak and knew Rose was coming he moved towards the stairs Jack following.

"I'm so sorry I took so long someone stole my shoes." The Doctor didn't hear the rest of her sentence he was too focused on keeping himself from drooling, which Jack had succumbed too.

"Rose pretty" He heard Jack say over the sound of his heart beating. She was wearing a spectacular low cut dress, which showed only a little cleavage. The red dress seemed the same colour of the rose clip, which had been slid into her hair, causing it to frame her face perfectly.

"Nice to know Jack, Doctor how do I look?" She asked smiling, the Doctor found this extremely worrying as he could see the large damp patch on the cream carpet.

"Tresholgre temarle Rose" he said realising he had just spoken in Gallifreyan he quickly answered in English hoping neither had noticed the slip-up, jack certainly hadn't.

"That is to say absolutely fantastic Rose." From the look on her face she would bring it up later but would drop it for now.

"So where are we going?" She asked calmly hoping he would tell her what he had really meant. He grinned at her happy she had dropped the issue of some of his more erratic behaviour as of late, trying to feed the kettle for instance and at one point he had tried to feed Jack peanuts knowing full well how allergic he was to them.

"Planet jack may have heard of Bad Wolf seems to have decided to bring it back into existence. Gallifrey." Jack snapped out of his stupor at that moment.

"You must be joking no one can get there, they have transduction barriers and it's impossible even if it did exist." He finished firmly Rose wondered why at that moment the Doctor burst into laughter his long hair bouncing with his chest.

"So..Sor…sorry" he chocked "I thought you were being serious for a moment there." He said breathlessly. Rose had to admit from Jacks stare she was slightly worried about where they would end up as the Doctor grabbed her hand and led her away.


Rose watched him curled up on a comfortable chair as he calmly punched in the co-ordinates she smiled as the tardis took off gently for once.

"Got sort of a VIP pass usually would take days to get there even for the tardis. Luckily I know the president and even ex-president." He smiled at her and chuckled.

"Doctor one thing, you haven't talked about the people their, or why you laughed at Jack or anything about the planet we're going to." She was almost whining now but she didn't care this was so un-Doctor like.

"Gallifrey: two indigenous populations, the not as well Gallifreyans and the educated" He passed for a second watching Rose's face "Time lords" he grinned at her surprised expression "as for the rest, well that'll have to wait seeing as we've just arrived." He took her hand pulling her from the chair as he grabbed a small hamper. "Thought we could have a picnic." He said at her surprised expression Rose nodded not trusting herself to speak. He pulled her to the door throwing it open grinning as she gasped at the sight.


(AN: okay after spending so long on this I didn't want to make anyone wait longer. As always make sure to review next chapter should be up soon-ish and just to clarify it starts of with doctor number 9. And in case anyone's noticed my improved vocabulary it proves that watch Doctor who can destroy such bad withdraw symptoms such as only being able to say three words in a sentence.)
