004--Cinderella. Sort of.

[Rose is wearing a ballgown, all done up, and looking sort of flustered.

And she's missing a shoe.]

Definitely easier to hide here than in the hedges. Someone always finds me when I'm--

[Cut off by her phone ringing, playing 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the ringtone]

....oh, no. It's Mum. [Presses the ignore button] She really needs to find a hobby that doesn't involve setting me up with every pretty boy she's introduced to.

All right. [Sends one that says 'The Doctor says stop being an idiot']

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What's he say to that one?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

'Oi! I'm not an idiot!' [Yes, she's giggling]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Tell him to stop being one, then. [grinning, oh yes] It's just one night, honestly.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Hands over the phone] You tell him, then.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Fine then, I will. [hums, Time Lord rapid texting powers activate!] There. I said, 'Lo again, Mickey! It's the Doctor! You sound well as ever. Happy for you and Jake and all but Rose could use an back-up plan to the banana. Do us both a favour and play along, eh?'

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Awwww] That's brilliant! I wonder if that'll convince him.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[flips the mobile to her] How's that?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

....he wants to know why you care, and 'what banana?'

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, the banana I gave you, of course. And really, he doesn't have to be thick about it. Last thing we need is forty uninteresting blokes crowding around.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You never told him 'bout the banana. And I think he just wants Jake to himself.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I know. Put him in charge of distracting them.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Who? Mickey?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] It is the plan B to the banana. [yes, banana > Mickey]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Might have to explain that to me again. You've lost me.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Plan A is waving around the banana. Plan B is Mickey creating a distraction. [and suddenly sounds proud] Oooh, a plan B! Always wanted to try that.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You saying I should skip plan A and go straight to plan B? [Yes, she is humoring him!]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That's a bit tough, eh? Bananas or Mickey...

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Mickey'd work better, but I don't think he wants to go along with it. [Phone beeps] Jake says he would, if Mickey would let go of him.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

But it doesn't sound like Mickey will, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Well, considered Jake used the word "deathgrip...."

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That might be a 'no', yeah.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I think so.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What will you do then, Rose?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Can't I just hide here for another hour or so?
