"You know I'm all for trying new things," Rose said as she looked down at herself. "But this is ridiculous. Gardening, really?"
With an unamused expression she looked over to where the part-human Time Lord was examining his overalls. They were wearing matching outfits, overalls, wide-brimmed hats, boots, gloves, everything they needed to wear if they were going to start a garden. And to Rose, they looked absolutely ridiculous.
"Oh come on," the Doctor grinned. "Don't be like that! This is gonna be fun!"
He skipped over and wrapped an arm around her as he waved his spade in the other.
"Fresh air, exercise, you and me together in the outdoors," the Doctor squeezed her shoulders. "It's great!"
"Sure," Rose rolled her eyes. "Sounds real fun."
"That's the spirit!"
Rose sighed with a smile as the Doctor gave her a quick kiss to the cheek before hopping away to the garden behind the Tyler mansion. She was just about to join him when the man let out a very unmanly scream.
"What's wrong?" Rose started toward him when the Time Lord came running back and ducked behind her, arms wrapping around and trapping her against his chest.
"Don't move!" he yelped. "There's a Slitacki alien in the plants."
"A what?" Rose couldn't help but giggle at his unexpected behavior.
"Slitacki," the Doctor repeated. "They look like snakes but they're much, much worse."
"Right, and there's one just in the garden?"
"Yes."
"Well then let's go investigate!" She pulls out of his grip and, despite his protests, walked over to the planter box.
"Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose," the Doctor stammered. "Don't, just come back, and what, no, wait, what are you doing—!"
He broke off with a yelp when Rose grabbed the "Slitacki" from the ground and began to chase the Time Lord around. He scampered away while she laughed.
"It's just a rubber snake, you dumbo!" She called over to him with a giggle, waving the toy in her hand.
"What?!" the Doctor skidded on his heels and spun around. "No, no it's not! It's an alien!"
"Come here," Rose crooked her finger at him. Cautiously he returned to her, squinting his eyes at the object in her hands.
"But, but, I could have sworn…"
"You know what," Rose smirked, twisting the snake in her hands. "I think you might need your glasses for real."
