Disclaimer. Don't own Doctor Who. If I did, the series would be so much longer.

Quick note. I am trying to increase the length of the chapters, but this seems to be happening gradually.

Chapter 4.

Rose took one look at the Doctors head and said "uh Doctor, I know you wanted to be ginger but I didn't think you'd go to such extremes. And I must say", she continued. "Your Impression of a statue is coming along great". For indeed the Doctor had been stood staring open mouthed but otherwise completely stationary since she had first spoken. Unable to hold it in any longer, she let out a short peal of laughter before turning on her heel and strolling away.

At this the Doctor snapped out of his trance and called after her. "You do realise this means war?"

"Bring it on then", was her only reply.

Later that day the Doctor sat in his room glaring at the mirror in front of him as though it was responsible for turning his hair orange. Sat there looking like a petulant child, he plotted as to how to get back at Rose. He wasn't angry at Rose for pulling the prank, he was actually quite proud that she had thought up something so good. It was just that, well she had pranked him and he didn't even see it coming. After the little stunt he had pulled on her, he had worried she might take his prank the wrong way and want to go home. Or worse, set her mother on him, he shuddered atthat particular thought.What he had not expected was to see her not only step up to the challenge but get her own back admirably. That wasn't going to stop him getting his revenge though, after all it wouldn't do to be bested by a twenty year old human girl.

While he pondered his retribution, the Doctor was struck with an idea. Why not use this to his advantage and get Mickey to leave. After all, the Doctor had only wanted the young man on board to remind him that he couldn't have Rose but that had done little good as he was still besotted with her. But according to the letter Mickey had written to him, they were no longer together anyway. There wasn't any need for him onboard the TARDIS anymore. Deciding to delay his revenge on Rose for a while, he was going to first get rid of Mickey. Then he could focus all of his attentions towards Rose. Good mood restored, the Time Lord set about thinking up his plan for project Get Rid Quick.

Meanwhile, Rose sat in her room pondering the next step of the plan. Pranking the Doctor could wait a while, she decided. After all, she had played two pranks on him in twenty four hours even if he only thought she was responsible for one of them. No, she would hold off on him unless he did something to her first. However she was still left with the problem of Mickey and what to do about him. It wasn't that she didn't like Mickey, she did. She had told the truth in that letter to the Doctor, but the feelings were from her heart not Mickey's. Rose had loved the Doctor for so long now, a feeling that had only increased since his regeneration. She and Mickey weren't together anymore and they were now very good friends. But she still felt awful when her close relationship to the Doctor was on display to him. After all, good friend or not, he was still her ex boyfriend. No Mickey would have to go and soon, Rose started to think about the best way to go about it. Then inspiration hit, why not prank Mickey instead. Then she could put all her energy into her pranking war with the Doctor.

Mickey Smith walked through the depths of the TARDIS, completely oblivious to what the Doctor and Rose were planning. Of course, not even the Doctor or Rose knew how alike they really were. They were not to know that the idea they had just come up with was identical to the others' idea. No, they would instead find out the next day when the prank would play out with double the anticipated results.
