Author Note: Ok, so I know this was only meant to be a one shot story, but then I heard the questions in this chapter and I just couldn't refuse. After all, how often do we get to see Rose beat the Doctor at his own game? Not enough! So here we go...this is Round 2, an the Doctor and Jack are determined to catch Rose out somehow.
Enjoy! (oh and do I really need to do a disclaimer? Nope? Thought not...you're smart enough to work out that I don't own Doctor Who, coz if I did, Rose would never leave, and if she really had to, she'd certainly never DIE!)
oOo
Jack and the Doctor were still fuming about the fact that Rose had beaten them at the pub quiz, so once back in the TARDIS, they began plotting Rose's downfall to Thickvile while she took a shower to wash away the stench of smoke from the pub.
When she came back a few minutes later - dressed in a lilac dressing gown with a white vest and pale blue shorts (that were very short in the Doctor's opinion) - she looked at them and saw that they'd been up to something.
"What have you done?" she asked suspiciously, balancing her hands on her hips and raising her eyebrows at them.
"Just decided to see if you're really as smart as you say you are," Jack replied with a grin.
"I never said I was smart," Rose said. "It was just common sense that you guys needed. Most of them were trick questions anyway."
"Yeah? Well anyways, we've got a few more questions for you," the Doctor replied, holding up a piece of paper that had a Dalek doodle on it.
"Oops, wrong one," he muttered, swapping the paper with another bit that had very untidy scribbles all over it. "Bet you can't answer these ones," he grinned and Rose returned the grin confidently.
"Bring em on!"
oOo
They were all sat on the floor of the TARDIS console a while later, Jack and the Doctor side by side, and Rose facing them.
"Ok, first question - " the Doctor began pulling on his glasses. "How many letters are in the Dalek Alphabet?"
"I have no idea," Rose replied, and then a thought crossed her mind. "Oh, hang on..."
She looked towards the ceiling, as though deep in thought, and the tongue peeking out through her teeth confirmed that she was indeed thinking about her answer. At last she looked back at them triumphantly.
"16," came her confident reply and Jack's mouth fell open.
"You said she'd never get that one!" he hissed to the Doctor, who shrugged.
"Ok, next question," he continued, ignoring Jack's glare. "If it takes 1 Auton 10 minutes to fill a bath using both taps, how long will it take 2 Autons to fill the same bath using 1 tap?"
"Well," Rose considered. "It could either be twenty minutes or no time at all, depending on whether you've emptied the bath first."
"Bugger!" Jack exclaimed. "She's good Doc."
"Shut up Jack. She'll never get this one!" the Doctor replied, obviously annoyed that Rose was walking his test.
"What is deadly and invisible?"
"No Daleks," came Rose's reply and Jack kicked the Doctor's ankle.
"You said she'd never get it!"
"Well, what do I know! Apparently bugger all!" the Doctor sulked. He continued asking the questions, getting quicker and quicker each time - apparently hoping to catch Rose out that way instead.
"If a red house is made of red bricks, and a blue house made of blue bricks, what is a green house made of?"
"Glass."
"What starts with an E and ends with an E but only has one letter in it?"
"An envelope."
Damn she was good.
"What colour is the TARDIS?"
"Dark blue."
"What does the sign say at the top?"
"Police Public Call Box."
"Which of the doors has handles?"
"Both of them. The main door on the right and the phone door on the left."
"Which door has the lock?"
"The right hand door."
"Do the doors open inwards or outwards?"
"Inwards."
"How many panes of glass are in each window?"
"6."
"What does TARDIS stand for?"
"Time and Relative Dimensions in Space."
The Doctor was getting desperate now. He only had one question left and he was determined to catch Rose out.
"Raxacoricofallapatorius is the home planet of the Slitheen family, but can you spell it?"
"I.T," Rose grinned, knowing she'd beaten him.
Then she was up and running as both the Doctor and Jack jumped to their feet, shouting threats about not letting her get away with proving them wrong.
She shrieked and giggled as they chased her throughout the TARDIS for most of the night, before dropping down exhausted on the floor. Rose stood over them, calmly produced another pack of peanuts from her robe pocket and emptied it over them.
"Ok, I give up," the Doctor groaned, lying flat on his back, looking up at her. "Rose Tyler - you are the most intelligent person I've ever met - and that's saying something!"
"Why thankyou!" Rose grinned, extending a hand to help them both up. Then she left them to it and went back to bed, feeling totally satisfied with herself for finally beating the Doctor at his own game.
