#something about she’s been waiting for him for ages #in this stupid hotel lobby #because it’s late and she’s tired #and he was just going to be five minutes rose #just five minutes #and 45 minutes and six chair positions later #this is what he sees when he comes back #and he and his guitar are inexplicably covered in soap #squishing through the lobby leaving wet footprints #and it would be endearing except for how#they’re supposed to go straight to the airport #for the redeye #but he’s trying trying trying #to get her to smile #i’ve cleaned up my act rose tyler#you know people say my bubbly personality is one of my best traits #me and sexy we’re best suds #and it’s working little by little(via allrightfine)
She hops up from the chair, grabbing a pillow and using it to dab the water and soap from his face. Well, the dabbing is more like hitting, technically, but he isn’t going to quibble at the moment, because she’s at least not scowling anymore, which is a marked improvement over a few seconds ago. A bit more of this, and he might be entitled to grab another pillow from the sofa and dab her right back.
“You impossible man,” she sighs. “What were you into this time?”
“Just was going to kip down to the corner store for a few supplies for the flight — I remember last time when we were … ah … in the loo, you said I needed mints, and so I did manage to get those.” He puts his soaked guitar case on the floor and reaches into his pockets, pulls out four large tins of Altoids.
He knows the look on Rose Tyler’s face, it’s the fighting-a-smile look, the he’s-more-adorable-than-he-is-irritating look, the the-Doctor’s-winning look. So he forges confidently ahead.
“On the way back, I walked straight past one of those drive-through car washes, but I had to stop to tie my shoe. Just put Sexy on the back of a parked car, to keep her off the ground, y’see, so she wouldn’t get wet — soap and water everywhere, pouring all over the ground.” He sheepishly toes the dripping guitar case. “Except the car wasn’t so much parked as it was queued up for the wash. Before I knew it, the car was already halfway through the wash, Sexy right there resting on the trunk. There was nothing for it but a rescue mission.”
“And all that took forty-five minutes?” she asks incredulously.
“Wellllllll, halfway through the rescue I got a bit tangled up in one of those big scrubby-brushy things, y’know the ones that spin around? Tickle like mad, in case you ever fancy getting near one, I’d recommend against it. They had to shut down the whole operation to get me out.”
Rose is staring at him and her face has gone blank and he feels a moment of panic because there’s no way they’re going to make the flight at this point, there’s no help for it, they’re going to have to take the early flight out in the morning instead. Which means they’re going to miss the thing tomorrow she’d been so excited about.
But then her eyebrow twitches, and her mouth puckers, and a giggle bursts out of her. She bends in half, laughing so hard she’s clutching her stomach and her face is turning pink.
When she finally gets hold of herself, she plucks an Altoids tin from his hand. “We can probably check back into the room for the night,” she says, pinching her tongue between her teeth. “And after we’re done drying you off, I have a few ideas of what we can do with these before we check out again tomorrow morning.”

I’ve decided that my new little personal project is to take the Gallifrey Records ‘verse and convert it into nicely typeset and designed PDFs or one a master PDF. I’m not in any hurry and have no idea when it’ll be done as it takes a few hours on each chapter and PDF(s) made available but this is just to let y’all know what I’ve been working on.
So far, I’ve done GR: Part 1/3, GRII: School Reunion Remix (pictured) and Five Times the Doctor Took His Clothes Off (and One Time Just For Rose).
Anyways, just an update.

David Tennant: I remember when they were filming but I wasn’t on camera, but filming my half of that scene… James Hawes, the director, he came up to me and said, “Come just make them laugh. Be off camera and make them laugh.”
Julie Gardner: Did you? What did you do?
David Tennant: I got Steve, my make-up artist, to paint a big mustache on my face. It seemed to work.(School Reunion episode commentary)
