A/N: I have to acknowledge doonarose for inspiring me with her Chem!10, as you will see, but I have changed the character a bit to fit in with what I feel the Doctor would be like in the lab. If you want to read her stories, they're at http/ I have to thank eeveekitty85, HoVis, fallenavalon, gatermage, rosetylerrox, Star-Stallionfor the reviews.

With that over, it's time to continue with the story.

Tea stains and clothing change

Rose was making tea for the Doctor. After they had returned from taking Cassandra back in time, the Doctor had rushed off; instructing her to make tea like her mother would make it, put into a flask and take it back to the lab. She didn't even know there was a lab in the T.A.R.D.I.S. As she was making tea for the Doctor already, she decided to make herself a cup too.

There was a lot to think about, again. She put four teabags in the pot and boiled the water. During their time in New Earth, she had seen more of her old Doctor than previously. She had seen his fiery passion, his morals and his controlled anger. He was powerful; it was amazing to see that in action once more. He was so familiar and these were some the things she loved about him.

She loved how protective he was of her. He didn't just leave Cassandra inside of her: he wanted her out; although Cassandra ended up entering him instead. Because of this she had some fantastic ammunition that she could use later to tease him with.

But it was the kiss that was most surprising for her. It was wonderful to finally have her lips on his, even though he did not return the kiss. Although really it was Cassandra's doing as she would never have been as bold to do that but it did not mean that she wouldn't like that to happen again. But she had no clue as to what he felt for her. She was probably just his companion, nothing more.

The kettle boiled so she poured the water into the pot. She started to hear violent words, some in alien tongues and others in English. He really had a filthy tongue when he wanted to use it! She still adored him however. She walked over to the lab, following the shouts, and was surprised at what she saw. The Doctor was covered in stains. There was a big puddle of liquid on the floor and various drips of coloured liquid all over the table. There were broken beakers lying onthe bench and the floor.The Doctor was measuring out a pink liquid of some sort and was rather carelessly using a pipette, causing splashes that were lucky not to end up in his eye or anywhere on his person for that matter! He was just so chaotic and messy; he really needed a biohazard suit! She started giggling, the Doctor started to turn around so she ran off.

She went to the wardrobe. She had forgotten how big it was. She went through racks and racks of clothes and they reminded her how changeable the Doctor was. There were so many bizarre clothes, including a massive scarf and several multicoloured jackets. With a slight sadness she took note of the previous Doctor's leather jacket. She noticed a hat, a boater she thought, which she thought was rather cute, so she put it on. She wondered as she looked at all these different clothes if she could cope if the Doctor changed again. Unfortunately for Rose there was no biohazard suit but there was a lab coat with goggles so she grabbed them then returned to the kitchen.

The tea had brewed long enough, so she put the coat on the back of a chair and poured the tea into the flask before adding four tea spoons of sugar and some milk. She did her cup of tea with just one sugar though. She heard some more swearing so went back to the lab, taking the tea and lab coat with her.

When she arrived his jacket was in a worse state. There were now holes in his jacket sleeves, probably from some kind of acid, and there was a multitude of stains all over the jacket. He was just so engrossed in mixing the two liquids he had together that he didn't seem to notice the stains that covered him. She quietly walked into the centre of the lab where the Doctor was working. He had put down the beakers and turned around.

"Rose! I didn't see you there! Have you got the tea?" He asked. She looked up quickly, she had been gazing around the room at all the various pieces of equipment and books, all of which had intelligent titles.

"Yeah," she said and placed the flask on the bench. "But I've also got you a lab coat and goggles; as your jacket is in quite a state!" She then wrapped her hands around his front and undid the buttons on his jacket, allowing her fingers to cheekily brush his stomach, which she felt tighten. He felt so warm and soft. She dragged the jacket off his shoulders, allowing her fingers to trail down the sleeves of his shirt as she did so. When she had gotten it off, she gave his waist a quick squeeze and kissed his cheek before handing him the lab coat and walked out of the room, taking the filthy jacket with her, which she deposited into the laundry shoot. She couldn't believe how she behaved just then, it must have been a residual influence of Cassandra and she didn't mind one bit.
