8pm
"You're back then" Jackie's tone dripped with a mixture of annoyance and distaste as the teenage Timelord stepped through the door, he grunted in reply
"Today's gone so fast" Jackie said to her daughter
"Not for me" Rose muttered "Doctor, you gunna sleep on the sofa tonight?"
"I'll sleep in the TARDIS if that's alright, I must have a room in there somewhere"
"I've never seen it so don't ask me where it is"
"Wasn't going to, see you later" he said raising one hand in a half wave as he disappeared into the TARDIS.
"I thought he didn't sleep" Jackie said
"Not normally whatever happened has drained him. The amount of coffee he drank today" Rose shook her head
"Why are you so late?"
"Went cinema. They were re-showing some original Star Wars movie. I thought a room where he's got to be quiet would be ideal. He found it hilarious and commented on everything that wasn't 'scientifically correct'"
Jackie snorted " No change there then." She paused for a moment "If he's sleeping, why don't you get Mickey up here? He'd love to see you!"
"Ok" Rose said grinning; she picked up the phone and typed in a quick text, summoning Mickey's presence. She placed the phone down on the table and walked over to the door, within seconds there was a knock.
"Mickey!" Rose grinned hugging him tightly
"Hey." His eyes thinned on the lack of instant offence from the Doctor "Where's the Doctor then?"
"Can we just be normal for now? Talk about him later"
"Sure"
They sat on the sofa watching TV for a couple of hours talking about random stuff. They ended up talking about the time they'd gone to some club together
"So this is your boyfriend then!" said an entertained voice from behind them
Rose jumped out of her skin! She jumped up and span round
"You're meant to be sleeping!" she snapped at the teenager, the Doctor was standing there in a pair of tracksuit bottoms, arms crossed over his bare chest and a playful expression on his face
"Been there done that!" the Doctor snorted
"Didn't get the T-shirt" Mickey muttered he couldn't see the Doctor properly in the dim light coming from the TV. Rose flicked the light switch
"OH MY GOD!" Mickey gapped at the half naked teen
"How long have you been there?" Rose demanded
"Long enough" the Doctor said picking up his coffee mug and drinking from it
"But he looks 12!" Mickey gasped
"16" Rose corrected
"54" the Doctor added
"I thought he was 904!"
"He's been rewound or sumin and now he thinks he's 54 and looks 16, and has become the single most annoying person in the cosmos!"
"Become?" Mickey scoffed
The Doctor took another sip of coffee to hide the smirk on his face. He walked over to the sofa
"Shove up Mickey" he said kicking Mickey's leg lightly
"Wait!" Rose said staring at him
"What?" the Doctor said
"You know his name"
"The horror"
"But I didn't tell you it. You remembered!"
"I've been listening to you two talking for the last" he cut off and a frown crossed his features then his knee's buckled and he collapsed, unconscious, on the floor Rose stared stunned for a moment.
"Let's get him on the sofa" Mickey told her helping to move the Timelord
"How did this happen?" Mickey asked her sadly putting an arm over her shoulder
"I don't know" she said wiping her nose on her sleeve.
They sat in silence. Neither knowing what to say
