Sorry, readers! I know it's been way too long. I normally wouldn't bore you with excuses but the reason I haven't updated besides school and stuff is that I just got a new puppy! Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system, here's a new chapter. Don't forget to review! Duplicate Doctor makes his debut!
The recently named Alex Noble was flustered. You'd think with his vast intelligence of this and his original universe this would be incredibly easy for him. Yet, somehow, all of that knowledge did absolutely nothing to help him now. Rose had asked him to get the washing done and he'd instantly said he would…now he realized his mistake. How was this primitive washing machine supposed to work? On the TARDIS all he had to do was put his clothes in his closet and they'd be instantly cleaned. But that kind of technology didn't exist until about the 51st century. Did it really matter if your white clothes were mixed in with the red-colored clothes? Did setting the dial to 'delicate' really do anything different than when it was set to 'sturdy'? Hot, warm, or cold water? How much detergent? The instructions for the machine did nothing to help him despite his knack for knowing languages; the most he understood was that they were written by some guy named Dolan.
Rose got home from shopping to find the half Time Lord, half human sitting on the floor, sopping wet, pouting and holding what used to be his favorite shirt. Now it was bright pink.
"Awww, what AM I gonna do with you, you undomesticated man?" she chuckled. "I bet I know something that will make you feel better!"
The half-alien's eyes lit up when he saw her lift a package of cupcakes with edible ball bearings on top of them. "I thought they didn't have those in this universe!"
"Oh, but that isn't all!" Rose giggled.
"Huh?"
"They're banana flavoured!"
Alex embraced her in a tight hug and whispered "I love you, Rose Tyler."
Rose playfully pushed him off, pretending to be angry about him getting her soaked as well, before pulling him back into a kiss.
