Disclaimer. Don't own Doctor Who. BBC does. I do however own an intense hatred to them for not making the series longer.
Quick note. Thanks again for you lovely reviews. Chapter 6 should be up tomorrow.
Chapter 5.
The prank was set. All Rose had to do now was wait. It was a good job the TARDIS was so well stocked all the time. Even the bathroom cabinet always had what you needed, toothpaste, razors, laxatives and more. Rose had put some laxatives into Mickey's bottle of Dr Pepper. Luckily, Rose hated the fruity drink with a passion so it would not be suspicious if she did not drink it. Not knowing how concentrated it would need to be in a two-litre bottle of drink she had poured half the bottle of laxatives in.
The Doctor had come up with his plan in the night. Take some laxatives from the bathroom cabinet and put in Mickey's drink. So the Doctor had taken the bottle from the bathroom and was now moving towards the kitchen to set the prank. Vaguely noticing the bottle was half-empty, he was sure the bottle had been full yesterday. The Doctor dismissed it and made a mental note to restock it anyway. When the Doctor got to the kitchen he wondered how best to go about his plan. Then it hit him, he would put it into Mickey's bottle of Dr Pepper. After all, it was only Mickey that drank the stuff. The Doctor was pouring the stuff into the fizzy drink when suddenly the TARDIS alarm went off causing the Doctor to slip a bit. The Doctor had accidentally emptied the bottle of laxatives into the drink. He wasn't overly concerned however, as the stuff would be mixed with two litres of Dr Pepper. It probably diluted to about a normal dosage anyway. The Doctor chucked the empty bottle of laxatives into the bin and went to find out what was wrong with the TARDIS.
The Doctor entered the console room to find Mickey cowering in front of an angry Rose who was currently berating him to within an inch of his life. The Doctor moved to turn off the alarm before finding out what was going on with them.
"Mickey, how could you be so stupid?" Rose was yelling.
"I uh, well." Mickey stuttered.
"I mean", Rose interrupted angrily. "You don't even know what the buttons do and yet you still found the need to go around pressing them. How stupid can you be?"
"What do you mean he was going around pressing buttons?" The Doctor cut in sharply, only having heard the last part of the conversation.
"Mickey, being the genius he is thought he would help out. You know the slight jolt the TARDIS makes when she switches from the future time vortex to the past vortex and vice versa?" At the Doctor's nod she continued. "Well, Mickey here decided to take your words to heart and start pressing random buttons without the least regard for knowing what the consequences would be!" The last was directed towards Mickey at a bit of a yell.
The Doctor decided to take control of the situation. Deciding that Rose had done a fantastic job of laying into Mickey, he sent the young man off. But not before telling him that whilst he was forgiven this time, if he pulled something like this again then he would be left on the nearest planet.
"I'm really, really sorry", Mickey squeaked as he left the room in a hurry. He quickly headed to the kitchen to grab a drink to settle his nerves. Grabbing his bottle of Dr Pepper, he made Rose and the Doctor a cup of tea each. Once both drinks were prepared he tucked the bottle under his arm, grabbed the cups and made his way back to the console room to make his peace. Rose and the Doctor accepted the drinks with a smile each. Rose even said she was sorry for shouting at him so much. It seemed all was well again as he sat down to drink his drink. Noticing the flavour seemed a little different, Mickey thought that they must have improved the taste a bit. He quickly gulped down half of the two-litre bottle.
Rose felt a little bad about shouting so much considering what she had done. But not enough to stop her from glancing from the bottle to Mickey every once in a while to check how much he had drunk. He had only gone halfway through the bottle though, which meant he wouldn't have gotten as much laxative as Rose would have liked.
Rose was pondering how to get him to drink the rest of the bottle when the Doctor spoke. "Well Mickey, you're polishing that off nicely".
"Yeah," Mickey replied with a slight laugh. "I love this stuff, I can drink whole bottles of it down".
"Really?" The trap was set, the Doctor thought wickedly. "Prove it."
Yes, yes, yes thought Rose. Thank you Doctor, you've just inadvertently helped me out. Rose and the Doctor sat and watched Mickey polish off the rest of the bottle in just a few seconds.
It was about half an hour later when the laxatives kicked in. Mickey had groaned loudly, clutched his stomach and bolted for the nearest toilet. Once there, he locked himself in the only signs of his continued existence the loud moans coming out of the bathroom intermittently. After about two hours of this in which the Doctor and Rose were laughing quietly to themselves before quickly quieting down so as to avoid suspicion. The Doctor couldn't take it anymore. He turned to Rose to confess what he had done.
"I put laxatives into Mickey's drink", they both said at the same time.
"You did?" They questioned at the same time again. Rose paused so that they wouldn't keep talking at the same time as the doctor spoke.
"Hang on a minute. You put laxatives in Mickey's bottle of Dr Pepper?" He questioned.
"Uh huh. About half the bottle of the stuff." She replied.
The Doctor started to laugh. "That stuff is extremely potent so I didn't plan on putting much in but then the alarm went off catching me by surprise. I put the other half in." The Doctor finished.
"Oops," piped up Rose. Causing both the Doctor and Rose to collapse in hysterics.
Fifteen minutes later, Rose was to be found with her head buried in the crook of the Doctor's neck laughing so hard he had to wrap his arms around her to keep her upright. The Doctor wasn't laughing as much anymore. Oh he found their shared prank funny to be sure, but standing here with Rose nestled against him was doing unbelievable things to both his equilibrium and his body. He wanted more, so he pulled her head up to look at him. Rose was caught in the moment somewhat and nervously licked her lips as she stared in the Doctor's wonderful deep brown eyes. As one they moved to close the gap between their lips. They were so close when Mickey walked back into the room and found them.
