Shopping
Inspired by Shouting-at-the-Sky who gave the prompts, anything to do with bananas and the Doctor failing at something domestic
Shopping, right he could do this.
Taking a deep breath the Doctor stepped into the shop and looked around.
Right, first things first the list.
Reaching into his pocket, the Doctor groaned as his arm sunk into it.
Of course he'd grabbed the one suit that could lose a shopping list.
"Okay, don't panic," he muttered to himself, pulling out bits and ends.
A thimble, two weeks' worth of gum wrappers, something that whispered in his—the Doctor slammed that particular item back into the pocket and then continued—a yo-yo, the TV controller—so that's where it was…and to think Pete had blamed poor Tony, he'd have to go apologize to the boy—a broken iPod, a working iPod, a shopping list, a couple of—no wait!
He searched through his small collection of items and grasped the piece of paper he'd previously over looked.
Holding the paper in between his teeth he worked on putting the items back into his pockets, all except for the yo-yo which he gave to the bewildered boy who had watched him.
"Don't tell anyone," he whispered, after he had removed the paper from between his teeth, the boy smiled and ran off to talk to his mother.
The Doctor sighed he was going to tell everyone.
Oh well, nobody was going to believe him, shame really.
Now on to the shopping.
Roaming the aisles he looked for the things on his list.
Right, bread first.
Bread, bread, bread, he groaned. Okay skip the bread.
Give him a spaceship and he could navigate the stars, give him a cart and he'd get lost in the shop.
How about, he looked down at the list, bananas! He liked bananas, he could find those.
He knew exactly where they were! He could smell them a mile away!
…that and the fact he had just passed the fruit during his attempts to find the bread.
"There you are!" The Doctor said happily, placing the yellow fruit into his cart, as well as the other fruit he needed.
Now on to the rest, collecting the rest of his items, he paid, flagged down a cab (Rose still refused to let him drive) and walked into the house.
"I'm back!" He yelled into the mansion, then upon seeing Rose said smugly, "See I told you I could do it on my own!"
She looked up unimpressed, "Doctor, you've been gone five hours."
His face fell a little, before his smile returned.
"I still did it!" He said happily. "I got all the items on your list!"
Rose peeked into the bags he had laid onto the counter and arched an eyebrow, "I don't recall putting Jammie Dodgers and Jelly Babies on the list."
"Oh no I added those."
"They're open."
"Five hours Rose, I got hungry!"
"I would think, you missed dinner," she said before kissing him gently.
The Doctor's eyes glazed over and he smiled lazily, "Remind me to get lost in shops more often."
"So you admit that you got lost?"
The Doctor spluttered, as Rose laughed.
So there we have it shopping, I hope that shop is the correct word to use...I think it is, see that's the hard thing about being American and writing a British fanfic...we call them grocery stores over here, but I'm 90% sure they're called shops in England...
If I'm wrong please tell me so that I can fix that
I like the idea of the Doctor getting lost in something as simple as a shop, it makes me happy
Also congrats to anyone who caught the TARDIS coral reference
