Dr Who/Torchwood - fic for tw_exchange, Nine, Rose, Tosh & Jack, PG
I was writing Nine, Rose and Toshiko Sato, for tw_exchange:
Prompt 43, Tosh (or Gwen) wasn't recruited by Torchwood - she left to explore the universe with the Doctor
Sticking with on-screen events, it's now 1941, so Jack's just appeared. I had a desperate urge to write "Tosh dances around the TARDIS console room with Jack", so I skipped a bit, and wrote that scene ;)
This bit is at the end of The Doctor Dances, and is just a part of a whole story, from Aliens of London to The Parting of the Ways.
With apologies to Michael Chabon, it's called The Amazing Adventures of Toshiko Sato ;)
(Why, yes, I have read Kavalier & Clay. I *sped* through Kavalier & Clay.)
Nine, Rose, Tosh & Jack, PG, 475 words
Feedback is loved and appreciated :) Enjoy!
The Doctor silently landed the TARDIS inside Jack’s ship, and opened the doors. Moonlight Serenade then spilled into the console room, and Tosh watched Rose try and teach the Doctor how to dance.
Rose looked out at Jack’s ship. Tosh assumed she’d caught his eye, as she called, "Well? Hurry up then!"
He rushed inside. One look at his face told her all she needed to know - Jack was as amazed at the TARDIS as she herself had been.
Rose and the Doctor stopped trying to dance. "Shut the door. Your ship's about to blow up. There's gonna be a draft," the Doctor instructed Jack. He quickly did as asked. Rose leant against the same strut Tosh was occupying, while the Doctor started up the engines. "Welcome to the TARDIS."
"...much bigger on the inside..." Jack whispered.
"You'd better be," the Doctor replied.
Rose grinned, and taking Jack's hand, she pulled him further into the ship. "I think what the Doctor's trying to say is...you may cut in." Jack grinned back at Rose; a film-star smile, from the era they’d just left.
"Rose! I've just remembered!" the Doctor suddenly exclaimed. Lights flashed, and In The Mood came out of the TARDIS speakers. "I can dance!"
"I thought that Captain Jack might like this dance," Rose said.
The Doctor winked. "I'm sure he would, Rose. I'm absolutely certain. ...But who with?"
...More flexible, when it comes to dancing...
Rose went back to the Doctor, and they danced, twirled and smiled around the console room. Tosh looked over at Jack; he was smiling as well, watching them. As the song started up again, he took off his cap, placed it on the hat-stand, and wandered over to her. Yes, she’d just seen him smile at Rose, but having the full force of Captain Jack Harkness’ smile directed solely at her made Tosh feel like a teenager with a crush.
He held out a hand to her. "Toshiko? Would you like to dance?"
"I don’t really know how, Jack." She knew exactly how flustered she sounded.
"We can’t possibly have that, ma’am!" he laughed, sounding truly horrified. "C’mon, it’s only a jive. Nice and easy," he said, winking at her, and manoeuvring them into position, for the dance.
They moved around the room, and Tosh tried her best. But she did have to keep looking down at her feet.
Jack eventually said, "Tosh, sweetheart. C’mon, look at me. Your feet’ll work it out by themselves, more or less."
She returned her eyes to his, getting the smile again. He rubbed her waist, and squeezed her hand a little. Encouraged, she had another go. Seeing in Jack in the light of the TARDIS, watching how he looked at all three of them, and the ship, Tosh knew that their dynamic had just undergone a rather dramatic change.
