jooles34 Life with the Doctor was exciting, exhilarating and stressful. His poor human companions needed some rest. Not that the Doctor didn’t enjoy reading a good book in the Tardis’ fabulous library, comfortably settled in a welcoming armchair with a wonderful cup of tea by his side.
Rose had taken the sofa for her own and was meticulously covering her nails with the funny stuff Jack had bought for her on Alpha 4; the color could change at will.
Jack was playing chess against the Tardis, loosing game after game. He was clearly enjoying it though, his natural good mood not faltering.
The Tardis was humming softly; it was relaxing. Except…
“Jack, stop that, right now!” the Doctor said without raising his nose from his novel.
“Not doing anything, Doc.” Jack protested a bit startled.
“Did you really think I wouldn’t know?” The Doctor said.
Jack raised a puzzled eyebrow, his eyes meeting Rose’s.
“Believe it or not, he’s got eyes in the back of his head.” Rose said.
“So, what have I done this time?”
“Probably nothing, it’s just that you’re so good at getting into trouble… He’s just not used to seeing you so quiet”
Everybody went back to what they had been doing but not for long.
“Jaaack.” the Doctor admonished again, still in his book.
“What’s the problem? What am I doing wrong?” Jack asked innocently.
“Like you don’t know !” The Time Lord answered, exasperated.
“But, I haven’t done anything!” Jack protested with puppy dog eyes and going back to his game.
“Right! Because that’s not you doing it!” Doctor said in a genuinely annoyed tone. And this time he had put the book down.
“Rose, please help me, because I really don’t understand.” Jack pleaded.
Rose was really beginning to wonder what all this fuss was about. Why was the Doctor so upset when for once, as it didn’t happen often, Jack had been quiet for so long?
“I think he is jealous.” she said teasingly.
“Jealous? What of?” Jack asked completely stunned.
“Not sure, something to do with the Tardis….”
“The Tardis?” Jack said with a puzzled look at the Time Lord.
“Yesterday he said something about you making it purr.” Rose explained. “I’ve never heard it purring” she added.
“That’s ‘cause you’re not a telepath” Jack explained fixing the Doctor with a look of delight.
“Right, I’m just a stupid ape.” Rose said pouting.
“A lovely nice little ape, a really clever one.” Jack comforted her.
“Oh, Jack, stop it!” said the Doctor again.
“What’s now?”
“When it’s not one, it’s the other… you really can’t stop yourself?”
“Blimey! You’re right. He is jealous. But you only have to ask, Doctor. You should know that by now!” Jack said mischievously, deliberately misunderstanding.
End.
