A/N: Don't own, never have, never will. I know its short but it was a good place to leave it.

"Rose!"

"What!"

"What have you done to the water?"

"Nothing, why?"

"'Cos SOMEONE has cut off my cold water supply."

"Well how the hell could I do anything? I don't even understand the bloody language your stupid machine's written in!"

"Don't call my ship stupid!"

"Fine, your oh so magnificent time vessel. Still doesn't change the fact that I can't understand a word she says!"

"Oh. Forgot about that. Well, what's happened to my water then?"

"How the hell should I know? It wasn't me."

"Well who was it then? You're the only other person on board, and I certainly didn't do this myself!"

"Maybe the TARDIS got fed up of you taking so many showers! Why do you need cold water so badly anyway? A shower normally uses warm water."

"Umm, never mind, I'll sort it. I hope. If it's fixable from in here. Anyway, I'll just, err, go back to my warm shower, so, umm, I'll see you later. Yep, see you later. Bye."

The Doctor's head disappeared back around the door from which it had been poking for the confusing conversation that had just occurred.

'What on Earth was that about?' wondered Rose as she went back to her room to continue her list of things to do to the Doctor, a list that he had interrupted to make her go out to argue with a head about water temperatures. That man was annoying, and not completely sane in her opinion.

Meanwhile, the TARDIS sat, or would have done if she could, and cackled gleefully to herself at the success of her plan. No more skirting the issue, Doctor. You can't run forever, and there is no greater force in nature than two females on a mission.

And that was only stage 1. Stage 2 would begin as soon as the adaptations she was making to the room were finished. She needed some way of communicating with Rose though. This wouldn't happen without prior planning and rehearsals from both of them, and she needed a volunteer to check if her transportation method worked. Maybe something through the translator link?
