'Doctor!' Jack called from the Doctor's room.
'What?'
'I've found something!'
The Doctor strode in, and sat down on the edge of his bed.
'You might wanna see this...' Jack said, and handed him a scrap of paper. The Doctor took it from him and began to read what was on the paper, Jack leaning in to do the same.
'Dear-' he began, and then sniffed. 'Jack, have you got perfume on?'
Jack nodded and grinned sheepishly. The Doctor began again. 'Dear-hang on, that's Rose's perfume!'
Jack looked guilty. 'Look, I always liked that smell!' he said quickly. Then he smiled. 'It's darn sweet that you remember what she smells like.' Jack elbowed him.
The Doctor looked defensive. 'It-I don't, she...' He cleared his throat and began to read for the third time.
'Dear Doctor,' he said.
"Dear Doctor,
I stole your lucky banana. Sorry.
Rose x
P.S: Can't tell you where I am, either. Sorry. Again."
The Doctor looked thunderous.
'Okay, Doctor, don't get worked up about it, it's just a banana-'
'HOW could she DO this to me?!'
'Hey, we'll find her, it'll be okay, I'm sure she'll give it back to you!' Jack said hastily, and then added, 'Anyway, it's just a banana-'
'But it's brilliant!' the Doctor wailed, his mood abruptly changing from anger to despair. 'It isn't just a banana, Jack, it's all golden and shiny and it's my lucky one!' The Doctor was sounding more and more like a small child. Jack awkwardly patted him on the shoulder as the Doctor took a shuddering breath, and burst into tears.
-o0o-
'So...what are you gonna do with it?' Rose asked. Her boss had been gawping at the banana for about fifteen minutes now, it was ridiculous. But now he looked up, a dark smile on his face.
'I am going to extract all of the natural goodies from it, and mix them with my very own formula to create the most powerful weapon in the entire universe, which I will then use to blow the Doctor to smithereens!' Rose's boss cried triumphantly. He then noticed her look of shock and worry and quickly said, 'I mean, blow the Daleks to smithereens!' Rose sighed in relief. No way did she want her Doctor getting hurt. Which reminded her...
'God, I better tell 'im where I am, or go back! Oh, God, he'll be worried sick!' She started to leave, but her boss grabbed her arm and said,
'No, stay here! He won't be very pleased with you if you go back now, will he? After all, you did leave him that note...'
'But I should still go, I can apologize!'
'Do you really think he'll fogive you? Do you really think that he cares about you that much?'
'Yeah...' Rose looked confused. Her boss' face screwed up in frustration.
'Dammit!' he muttered. 'I haven't shown you the tape yet, have I?'
'What tape?'
Rose's boss sighed and pressed the play button on the remote. A screen on the far wall of the room came on, and what was on it was something she really didn't want to see.
-o0o-
'What ya doing?' Jack queried as he walked into the control room. The Doctor, now dressed in a blue suit and red trainers, was busy at the central control hub.
'I'm going to call her!' he replied, and grinned.
'Why didn't you do that before?'
The Doctor's smile faded, and his exspression turned to that of confusion. 'I don't know...' He scratched the back of his neck.
'Is it 'cause you were going a bit...bananas?' Jack shot at him, smirking.
'Stop it. It's not funny, you know!' The Doctor looked at Jack, annoyed.
'Okay, sorry!' Jack held his hands up. The Doctor began to work again, prodding buttons and sonicking the phone in his hand.
'Hey Doc,' Jack said. The Doctor looked up, clearly not wanting to be interrupted.
'What now?'
'Are you gonna call her on your bananaphone?' he said.
'Jack! If you're not going to help, go away!'
'Okay, okay! Hey...do we have any pears? I'm starving!'
The Doctor stared at him, his exspression grave. 'What?' Jack asked, bewildered. The Doctor didn't reply.
A/N: Have you guessed who Rose's boss is yet? :) And apologies for this rubbish. But it has been begging to be written. Which reminds me...Chapter Three!! :D
