Disclaimer: Are these really necessary ever single chapter? I mean officially according to the rules...because I'd be happy to say it once. I mean, I know people tend to make an art form out of these. TCASM does particularly well in that realm.
A/N: First of a series called "Huge Sigh of Relief." You'll get it by the end. Let's start with Jack. This takes place at the end of "The Parting of the Ways," but before the regeneration.
Huge Sigh of Relief: Jack Edition
"What about Jack?" Rose asked.
"What about him?" The Doctor replied casually as he flipped a red switch on the console. When Rose didn't answer, he turned to see the reprimanding scowl on her face. "What?" He feigned cluelessness.
"We can't just leave 'im, Doctor." She scolded.
"Yes we can," the Doctor said in a relaxed tone.
Rose rolled her eyes. "Look, if it'll make a difference, I won' dance with 'im."
Hand on a lever, the Doctor paused, waiting.
Crossing her arms and holding back a smile, Rose added, "Won't flirt with him neither."
He began to turn, then seemed to remember something and stopped.
Rose scoffed and stomped her right foot. "Alright, alrigh'. I'll stop fixing my makeup on account of 'im."
The Doctor turned round and smiled brightly. "Do I have your word on that?"
Rose lifted her fingers and crossed them in promise.
He chuckled and programmed the TARDIS to turn around. "I wasn't going to leave him in the first place, but now that you've promised…" He trailed off.
She narrowed her eyes at him. "You stupid-."
"Here we are!" The Doctor interrupted her brightly, pulling the hand brake.
The door swung open of its own accord, and Captain Jack Harkness strode inside, hallmark smile, confidence and all. Hugging Rose tightly, he spoke over her shoulder. "Knew you'd come back."
"Promises, promises," the Doctor muttered, eyeing them and then flew the TARDIS away towards the unknown.
A/N: That huge sigh of relief would be yours, mine, Doctor Who fandom's, etc., etc. Review, and I might write a Donna edition next.
