doctor who (de) the ninth doctor

(no subject)

[the Ninth Doctor appears in the astral plane just in time for his jaws to close on empty air] Well, that's... Hmm. [a confused pause, in which the Doctor is turning around in a complete circle and looking for a door or a hole or some other plausible explanation for how he got to where he's currently standing] Normally I'd suspect a wrong turn, but that's a bit difficult when you're sitting still with the parking brake on.

[he takes a few steps and then stops and bounces up and down in place] Solid enough. Good to know, 'cause I'd hate to... [trails off, frowning] No, that's enough playing along. Where's my TARDIS? Or, for that matter, my sandwich?

Hello?

Look, if you're going to go to the trouble of beaming someone out of their own chair mid-meal, you could have the decency to show up. It's common courtesy.

[a silence that stretches for what seems like several minutes, but was probably just a few seconds] What, am I talking to myself here?

Oh, come on.

It's coming to me...

"R" name, something like... Rose? That's it, isn't it? Rose? Mickey's ex?

............

You're joking, right?

... No?

....but you can't be from before I met you, 'cause you knew my name and all....

Hit your head, recently?

Not in a good six days. That's a record.

[slightly awkward shuffling] Been well then? How's London?

I've been...well...it's all right. Haven't spent too much time there since I met you, and all, but.....

Oh. Did you, er... go on a trip?

...with you, yeah.

[cue massively confused face]

No, you didn't.

....I did, though! [Pulls the TARDIS key necklace thingy out from under her shirt and shows it to him] Even have a key to the TARDIS.

[blinks and takes a closer look] ... Hm. That is a TARDIS key, but I don't remember giving it to you.

When was this?

When did you give me the key? After you took me for a trip, said I'd only been gone for 12 hours, but really it was twelve months, and while we were trying to deal with my mum's wrath, some aliens crashed into big ben, and when you ran off and I was a bit insecure 'bout it, you gave me the key, so I'd know you'd come back.

[a long, slow exhale] Right then. Could be alternate--

Rose? I don't think I'm the ... me you're thinking of. I've never taken you anywhere.

....Er. Parallel you?

Exactly.

[Sigh] Oh, well, then. Sorry?

Nah, s'all right. Nothing to be sorry about, just a mix up.

[pause] We had fun then?

[Grins a bit] I can see how it'd happen.

Loads, yeah. Did you, er, have fun without me?

Good, I'm glad.

[makes a face] That's cheating. But yeah, I did. Mickey's not so dumb if you hand him a few instruction manuals and let him go for a bit.

[Amused] It's not cheating! And you went off with Mickey? The you I know insisted on calling him Rickey the Idiot.

...bit jealous, now that I think 'bout it.

'Course I did, he's human. [playful snerk] But he has his moments.

Oh, are you?

Yeah, he does.

[Laughs] No, I'm not jealous, really. I think you...well, not you, but y'know, you, were jealous of Mickey.

[huffy, there goes his ego] What would I be jealous of him for?

I dunno. You'd have to ask yourself that.

I guess I would. I'm gonna take a wild guess from your earlier reaction and say he's not around?
