Okay I thought a drunk Doctor was funny? He's got NOTHING on a drunk Jackie. She was hilarious! The ending was just lovely :D

Glad Rose took advantage of the situation ;)

Drunk Doctor is the BEST! xD

Wow! Exellent X-mas story! Loved the Jackie humor! Hee!

Awesome story! It was very sweet and funny! And had a bit of angst too! Awesomeness!

Oops. Okay, I only found this a year late...

Where have I read this before? I may have found it here a year late, but I know I've read it somewhere else before. Have you posted it on another website? Still love it though. :D

Feel a bit silly now. :/

"The perfect boy? One who snogs for half an hour... then turns into a pizza."

Whoo-hoo! Nicely done :)

Oh, yes, I enjoyed! :)

"Gonna" get himself into trouble? After that little display in front of Jackie? ;)

It’s the final count down…well it’s the final one…but no one’s sung a song that says ‘it’s the final one’ so…anyway!

Man now you’ve gone and updated Forgiveness too! You know I don’t actually get all that much time on the net these days, and all of it’s been spent trying to do BMQAs and read your updates! Not that I’m complaining of course…just the characters in my head…though thankfully Lady T is being quiet now…speaking of which, DANG aren’t you just a fountain of knowledge? See, MORE stuff I’ve gotta read…okay three more BMQAs, then (hopefully!) finish Part 5, then read up all the info and then see if I can work a way for that fic…though I’m thinking from what I’ve glanced over it probably won’t work since by the sounds of it she was gone long…heh or long gone (whichever way round you prefer ;p) before the war and all…no idea…well some, but they’re all faffy…FAFFY? Ya I’m just as confused as you by that ‘adjective’! ANYWAY, back to the BMQA!

**A/N: I own nothing to do with Doctor who, not even Mr Tennant's phone number.**

See there’s a reason this sounds a bit de ja vu ish. If you’re expecting me to say ‘See THIS was the beginning of my wanting his phone number phase! I knew you were to blame for it for some reason!’ and then make a comment on the technicalities of money making…well you’d be about the same spot I was when I accidentally pasted Chapter 1 into Word again instead of Chapter 3 :p SO, getting back to the BMQA for the CURRENT chapter…

Though can I just say that having…

**Christmas Cheer Part 2**

…only added to the confusion since it’s MEANT to be Part 3!...anyway…

**A/N: Ok so I had quite a few people asking me to continue this so this is very definately the end. Hope you enjoyed a fantastic Christmas.**

Lol see I didn’t even have to say a word and I got an extra part! How cool is that?

**Rose sighed as her mum asked when she’d be home again for what seemed like the millionth time. “I dunno, mum. You know the Doctor. Time keeping isn’t really his strong point.”**

Rofl, gotta love that about the old Time Lord don’tcha?

**“Yeah. Something about wanting to give me a proper Christmas. You know without the alien invasion and stuff.”

“Oh, well that’s nice.”

“What?”

“What?” Jackie pulled her most innocent face.

“Why’d you say it like that?”

“Like what?”

“Like you want to say something else but decided not to.”

“Dunno what you mean.” Jackie told her, heading for the kitchen.

“You never say, ‘oh, well that’s nice’ without a ‘but’ after it.” Rose told her following.

“You’re just being paranoid.” She busied herself with some washing up.

Rose was about to ask more questions when her phone rang.**

Rofl Jackie might not be as…well…you know…

**“Is that Mickey?”

“No, it’s the TARDIS.” Rose frowned. “Hello?”**

Lol soz when I read this now it came across as sarcastic in my head, first thinking they’re IN the Tardis, and then realising they’re at the flat and it comes out…well even more…that word that I can’t think of right now…anyway…

**“Only me.” The Doctor’s voice came through the speaker.**

Is it just me or does him using a phone seem just a bit weird?

**“Dinner? Where?”

“Where do you think? Here of course.”

“In the TARDIS?”

“Why do you say it like it’s a foreign concept?”**

Rofl too cute :D

**“Well, it’s just when you say big dinner, the TARDIS kitchen isn’t exactly well stocked.”

“If you’re not hungry it’s ok.”

She could hear the disappointment in his voice and instantly felt guilty. “What we having?”

“It’s a surprise!”

“Have you been drinking again?”

“Not at all! What an impertinent question! Be here in an hour. Oh and bring your mother and Mickey if ya like. I think I’ve cooked too much.”

“You’ve cooked?”

Jackie looked up at her daughter in surprise.

“Where did you think it was coming from? Rose, I’ve got to go the potatoes are boiling. One hour!” With that he hung up.**

Rofl too cute!...didn’t I just say that? Adorable too! And…aww they’re just so…warm and fuzzy on the inside :p Lol and as for the Tardis kitchen not being well stocked and all…hasn’t she realised the depths of the Tardis yet?

**Says he’s cooked.”

“Is he any good?” Jackie handed her daughter a tea cloth.

“Dunno he’s never cooked for me before.**

Rofl soz that’s just…humorous…though she should be very flattered!

**“And he’s invited us all?”**

Yeah, can’t have word of the contamination getting out. If the foods that bad, all witnesses ate it and well…sorry just random train of thought…

**“I think that bang on the head did more damage than you thought.”**

Lol isn’t she just lovely?

**“Well whatever it is it smells great!” Mickey sniffed the air as he stepped into the TARDIS.**

Lol of all the people to be nice about it, Mickey wasn’t the one I thought would be at the top of the list!

**untying his apron.**

Lol soz, just got the whole suited up Doctor wearing a pink frilly apron in my head now…

**Gazing round Rose couldn’t help but smile. There were fairy lights and candles all over the room and a faint aroma of cinnamon. The table was set with a deep red cloth with holly and mistletoe sprinkled down the centre and at either end there was a tall church candle.**

Aww, he’s gone all out hasn’t he?

**“No starters I’m afraid folks. I sort of forgot that bit.” The Doctor announced carrying a turkey to the table. But there’s plenty of trimmings and vegetables to go round. Think I might have done too much actually.” He scratched the back of his head as he looked at the tray. The turkey was big enough to feed half an army alone, yet there it sat surrounding by potatoes and parsnips, mini sausages wrapped in bacon, a small piece of beef in case someone didn’t want the bird and Yorkshire puddings. “O, gravy! Start dishing up!”**

Who needs starters with a meal like that!

**“You know” Jackie leaned over the table after making sure he was out of ear shot. “I think he’s gone completely..”

“Crackers?” The Doctors voice came from the doorway, gravy boat in one hand and Christmas crackers in the other, causing them all the fall about laughing. “What?...What? What’s so funny?”**

Rofl, brilliant, absolute brilliance :D

**She gave him one of her brightest smiles and planted a kiss on his cheek as he sat down next to her, causing him to blush.**

Naw cute!

**“Merry Non-Christmas.” The Doctor grinned, raising his glass. “Let’s hope the real thing is as uneventful as this one.” He looked at Rose and Jackie. “Ok maybe even less eventful than this one.”**

Rofl aah brilliant…yeah my list of adjectives is diminishing…

**“He had a fight with a Christmas tree.” Rose told him, moving a lock of hair from the Doctor’s forehead, exposing the giant plaster.

“You mean there’s something he’s rubbish at?”

“Hey! I’m still in the room!**

Lol and not to mention to be fair he did a much better job first time fighting a tree than the second ;)

**Besides I think the place looks great.”

“Yeah, I have to say there aren’t many people who can decorate well for Christmas when they’re half cut on eggnog!” Jackie said, sipping her wine.

“Half cut? He was off his face!” Rose exclaimed.

“You were drunk?” Mickey asked, dumbfounded.

“Only a little.” The Doctor murmured.

“A little? You were doing the conga while throwing tinsel around the room.”**

Lol pure comedic genius :D

**“Well there’s always the fact he planted a real smacker on Rose before collapsing at her feet.” Jackie said, taking a long gulp of wine.

The table fell silent. Rose looked nervously from Mickey to the Doctor as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

“So who’s carving?” Jackie asked, trying to change the subject.**

Good one Jackie :/ Mumbling under breath…

**“Wow, I do Christmas really well don’t you think?” The Doctor sighed. “I always manage to ruin someone’s day.”**

Aww poor Doc!

**“That wasn’t your fault.” Rose told him glaring at her mother. “Besides once he’s calmed down and I tell him you were too drunk to realise what you were doing he’ll be fine.”

The Doctor winced as his words came back to haunt him. “Rose, I di...” His voiced trailed off as she rose from her seat.

“I better go find Mickey.”

He sighed as he watched her go in search of her on/off boyfriend.**

Poor guy…that’ll teach him for not saying what he meant first time around :p

**“Breast or thigh?” Jackie asked.

“Sorry?”

“The meat, breast or thigh?” She looked at the Doctor for a moment then gave him a half smile. Getting to her feet she moved round the table and sat next to him.**

oO Not sure I trust Jackie that much! :p

**“Doesn’t sound any better no matter who says it or how many times it’s said. Sounds like an insult really doesn’t it.” He screwed his nose up and rubbed his face with his hands.**

Lol well there is a reason for that ;p

**“Ah.”

“Ah?”

“Explains the sudden mood.” Jackie said nodding to the door. “You said the same to her and she took it the wrong way?”

The Doctor looked up at Jackie.

“Oh don’t look so surprised. She’s a teenage girl; she’s bound to have taken offence. It’s what girls do when good looking men kiss them then tell them it was a mistake.”**

Lol okay she may say the wrong things and hit on the wrong people…but she has a few sharp moments :p

**“I’m sorry did you just say ‘good looking’?” The Doctor raised his eyebrows incredulously.

“Well, you’re not bad. For an alien. How old did you say you were?”

“I didn’t.” He suddenly felt uncomfortable sitting so close to Jackie and took a long gulp of water.**

Hehe see I’m not the only one that doesn’t trust her ;p

**“Mickey he was drunk. Completely off his skull. You should be happy. Laughing it up. He said he never would have done it otherwise.”

“So you two haven’t been….you know this whole time then?”**

As much as we all wish they had…

**“What? How dare you. He’s my friend. Besides he doesn’t think of me in that way.”

“But you do.”**

See you might try dodge around telling the truth, but we all know it :p

“So, other than the drunken kiss…”

“No, nothing.” She answered a little too quickly.

“You’re a terrible liar. You go bright red.”

“I do not!”

“Yeah you do. You’ve gone as red as that table cloth.”**

Hehe time to fess up!

**“You know, you’re very attractive for an alien.”**

Rofl, hehe too funny.

**she’d developed an alcohol induced look of hunger that said he was on the menu and it scared the Doctor to death**

Man I wouldn’t mind the Doctor being on my menu…anyway…

**“Well aren’t you going to say something nice about me?”

“You…..have…very nice hair.” He stumbled.

“Charmer.” She leant into him and played with his hair.**

Rofl, well technically he is, but think she MIGHT just be reading a little too much into it ;p

**“Uh Jackie would you like some coffee?”

“Only if you want me up all night.” She grinned wickedly trailing a hand from his knee gradually upwards.**

Oh she’s a classic!

**“No, no that won’t be necessary. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take a visit to the boys room.” He stood so abruptly he nearly knocked Jackie off her chair.

“You need a hand?” Jackie asked him trying to pinch his backside as he passed.**

Lol no seriously, brilliant!...might have to pull out the old online thesaurus soon, cos even I’m getting tired of hearing the word ‘brilliant’!

**“Fine there was one other kiss but it wasn’t what you’re thinking.” Rose told him.**

Well TECHNICALLY there were two, but guess we don’t need to tell him that now do we?

**“Oh god it’s all coming out wrong. Now I know how he felt! Look. He kissed me drunk. Then he kissed me to make me feel better. That’s it the whole sordid little tale. Besides what are you getting your knickers in a twist for? You ended us, not me.”**

And of course she kissed him, but once again, hush hush and all that jazz.

**The Doctor let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding and a grin spread across his face, he couldn’t help himself. Rose Tyler had just admitted to her ex-boyfriend, yes ex-boyfriend that she liked him in a non-professional way. She really was amazing his Rose, he’d taken her to the far reaches of time and space, none of which fazed her, they’d stared defeat and even death in the face and usually come out of it laughing, literally. He’d even changed his face and to some extent his personality but she didn’t abandon him. He loved her, he knew it, he was sure she knew it, hell even a lost, lone Dalek stuck in a museum in 2012 knew it.**

Man he is completely, one hundred percent smitten!

**“It’s lots of things. He’s funny and, yeah ok he’s cute too. But he’s so different. I dunno maybe it’s ‘cause he’s an alien but it’s like I know him so well but he’s still a mystery. Just when I think I’ve seen all there is to him he shows a completely different side and I know there’s so much about him I don’t know, like his past and family and stuff and I want to know all that stuff but something stops him from telling me. You should see the look in his eyes when some mentions his home. It’s like the world around him crumbles just for a moment and then he’s back to being flippant, you know?”**

Yeah, it’s kinda why we all love him really…though I think it’s thanks to Tennant that it’s become more than just friendly love for a lot of us ;)

**“No.” Rose sighed. “How can I tell him? He’d probably kick me off the TARDIS and make a run for it. He doesn’t ‘do domestic’.”**

Oy ca, they’re as bad as Dawson when they wanna be! Didn’t the whole ‘doing Christmas’ make any impact on her?

**“Who says it has to be domestic? Besides he’s never gona dump you anywhere. Have to be blind not to see how much he cares about you.”**

He really is clever for an idiot ;)

**Mickey and Rose heard the Doctor shout her name, his tone was strangled and if they didn’t know better a little scared.**

Lol I wonder why :p

**“MUM! What are you doing?” She couldn’t believe it, her mum was all over the Doctor, trying to kiss him and he looked terrified. He was half trying to push her away and trying to climb the wall to get away from her.

Mickey stood laughing until Rose elbowed him. “Oof, what was that for?”

“Help me.” She growled taking hold of her mother and pulling her away from the Doctor.

“Oh hello Rose. I was just telling the Doctor how well I know him.” She winked at her daughter and ran a hand down the Doctor’s chest moving lower and lower.

“Ah stop right there!” The Doctor grabbed her hand as it reached just below his belt. “Maybe we should call it a night.”

“I’m game if you are; which one’s your room?”

“Mum! Mickey, take her home will you?”

“Good plan.” The Doctor said flashing Rose a smile then making a run for it down the hall and out of sight.

“Where are you going? We’re just getting started!” Jackie called after him as Mickey tugged her through the control room.

“You better go and make sure he’s ok.”

“He’ll be fine.” Rose told him opening the front door.

“You think? If your mum came on to me like that I’d be in therapy for life!”

“Lucky she thinks of you like a son then isn’t it?” Rose smiled. “Thanks Mick, for everything.” She kissed him lightly on the cheek and said goodnight.**

Rofl brill…fantastic! Funny as hell and everything! Lol can just picture him one hand staving off Jackie as the other tries to find a good hold on the wall…lol and also a very nice way of getting Jackie & Mickey out the picture ;p

**She wandered through the TARDIS looking for the Doctor. She always seemed to find rooms she’d never seen before and would bet she’d never find again.**

Hehe that’s what caused the ‘Jack’s hunt’ selection of rooms ;)

**“I ..er was looking for you and she jumped me! She gets drunk very quickly. She’s a very friendly drunk mind.” He rolled his eyes.

Rose looked at him suspiciously.**

Lol, she’s not the only ‘friendly’ drunk ;) Tehehe

**“And the Song is ‘Wild Horses’.”**

So was it listening to the Buffy soundtrack for this that…scratch that, just remembered it’s a delayed BMQA, not a recent update. Was gonna ask if it was cos of listening to the Buffy soundtrack that led to the new Forgiveness bunny…but obviously since this was written ages ago, it probably wasn’t :p I really like this song though.

**“Not the original.”

“No, that was a man, this would be female.”

“It’s pretty.”**

It is the Sundays version right?

**She said moving beside him. She saw him tense up.

“Don’t worry I’m not about to do an impression of my mum.” She smiled.**

We could only wish…

**“Sorry.” He took her hands and led her away from the table and began to slow dance her around the dinner table. His breath caught in his throat as she snuggled closer and rested her head on his shoulder.**

Aw, so adorable :D

**“This is nice. Unlike you. You know I think you’ve got concussion, you’re acting really oddly.” She told him looking into his face.

“Why’d you say that?”

“Well the whole Christmas thing then the dinner, inviting my family. It’s all a bit domestic.”

“No it’s a holiday.” He guided her head back to his shoulder and rested his cheek against her hair.

“A holiday?”

“Yeah, most people go on holiday to get away from domestic, well I don’t do domestic so to have a holiday I go a little domestic.”

“’cause that makes perfect sense.” She teased, smiling into his shirt.**

Lol well it does in a Dr Who way ;)

**“Won’t bother next time.” He pouted.

Rose looked up at him again and got caught in his gaze. She found herself in a bit of a daze as her lips met his, as if she had no control. Her grip on him tightened as the kiss deepened then she felt his hand slide into her hair and she felt like her knees were about to give way.**

Eh yay :D

**“Didn’t think you were going to do an impression of your mother.” The Doctor said.**

Hehe looks like some wishes do come true ;)

**“I’m sorry.” Rose panted and stepped out of his arms, looking more than a little embarrassed.

“Rose, I’m teasing.” He reached out to take her hand.

“I should go and check on my mother.”

The Doctor sighed; it was the same thing happening all over again. “You don’t have to run off.”

“Yes I do.”**

No! We’ve been through this part already, can’t do it again!

**“Why?” He grabbed her arm as she turned.

“Because.” She wrenched her arm from his grip and practically ran out of the room.

“Why do humans think that ‘because’ is an actual answer?” The Doctor muttered running after her.**

Lol, good question!

**“Right, listen to me Miss Tyler.” He planted himself firmly in front of her, blocking her path out. “I’m not a big fan of déjà vu and chasing after you is becoming a bit samey.**

Hehe yeah cos things aren’t meant to be familiar in the world of Who ;)

**We’re together all the time. We live together, we run for our lives together, I even end up at your mum’s so things are bound to get a bit odd now and then**

Bit odd? Would sound more appropriate if he said ‘bit normal’ ;p

**but if you run away every time or you think we’re getting too close then you might as well go home.” His face was stern and his hands were planted firmly on his hips. He watched Rose’s eyes widen at his last comment.**

Ugh, silly silly boy, you got to learn to explain yourself better!

**“Do you want me to go?”

“What? No I don’t.”**

See, that’s what happens when you don’t explain yourself properly!

**“I love having you with me**

Pff, you love her full stop…you know although I do it a lot, I always find it weird saying full stop because obviously there’s a full stop if it’s the end of a sentence! Anyway…he loves her, now can he just admit it already?

**“Right then Rose Marion Tyler, you asked for it!”

Before she knew what was happening the Doctor ducked his head and kissed her breathless.**

O_O Not exactly what I expected after that one!

**“Right.” He panted “Now, time to teach you something I learnt earlier.” He dragged her to the control room and stood her in front of the monitor and punched some buttons and the estate popped up on the screen. “There, see. The world hasn’t collapsed. We kissed and nothing has changed. Everything is as it was five minutes ago.”

He watched her nod slowly.

“Goodnight Rose. Merry Christmas.” He kissed her temple and left her in the control room smiling to herself. Reaching up and grabbing a sprig of mistletoe she trotted after him calling “Oh Doctor!”**

Lol it’s about time they learnt that! Very cute ending :D Hehe you like ending fics with one of them calling out for the other don’tcha? Lol and they’re usually carrying something too, like Rose and mistletoe, the Doctor and crème eggs ;D …oh man, REALLY shouldn’t have let my mind go there! Now it’s going to be hours before I can concentrate properly again!

**A/N: And there you haev it, Christmas is finally over, well for us anyway. Who knows what them up there got up to!**

Lol I think they probably had 12 days of Christmas, though with more…non-object gifts ;)

**as always reviews are welcome.**

Finally all done! Now just got 2 more to do and I’ll be ready when the next updates ready…oh and in case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve actually held onto these so that they can all go up at the same time for ya ;) Hope you like the BMQA fest :D Lol and aren’t you glad I separated out the chapters for this one? Imagine the full length if I’d done all 3 in 1!

Thoughts wise, this was about the moment that I remembered…well give or take a few quotes, that I’d said I would do this after Part TEN of Possession was posted…man all my secret squirrel reading for nothing…well you know, huge enjoyment and all, but coulda done those BMQA’s before this hugey…ah well, already 1/3 done, might as well keep going right? One ward and another (cos I still can’t remember if its onwards/forwards/upwards/downwards…you get the picture)

**A/N: Thanks to all of you who have reviewed, I'm really chuffed you're enjoying reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Everyone needs al little festive cheer!**

You’re welcome…lol well I figure that last review already counts ;) Yup, only a few more months and you can be spreading some more of that cheer around :)

**Ok so we last left the Doctor rater worse for wear in a crumpled heap at Rose's feet, after kissing her in front of her mother! Phew! So I guess all that's left to say is, what next?**

Lol, not to mention it was a fun place to leave ‘em ;)

**“So how long has that been going on?” Jackie demanded.**

Rofl! Now THAT is a beautiful line to start on!

**“How long has been what going on?” Rose tried to suppress her smile as she thought about the kiss.**

Hehe, soz but ‘I’ve been in your mind. You’ve been looking. You like,’ SO springs to mind at this :p

**“Mum, nothing is going on. He was drunk. You do it all the time!”

“I do not!”

“Yes you do! Remember Tony from downstairs at your last birthday party?” Rose waited and watched her mother’s face tinge with embarrassment at the memory.

“How do you know about that?”

“I was there, remember? Mind you, wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t. After all, there were men at the party.” Rose touched her tongue to her top teeth, smiling and raised her eyebrow, daring her mother to deny it.

Jackie huffed and lifted the Doctor’s legs.**

Hehe lol…ah priceless…see that’s why Mickey and the Doctor’s expressions when Jackie tells alternate-Pete that there hasn’t been anyone else is so funny! Mickey’s like ‘Really?’ and Doctor’s trying not to remember that first meeting…or the kiss hello hehe…anyway, back to the fic :p

**“Did the north pole explode in here or something?”

“It all started with that tree.”**

Lol brilliant line from Jackie…lol and in more ways than one with Rose’s comment!

**“Oh it’s not one of those killer trees is it?”

“Why would we have a killer tree in our own living room?”**

Rofl Jackie has a weird thought pattern!

**“The Christmas tree fell on him.”**

Although this line makes it seem slightly more justifiable ;)

**“He doesn’t do very well with Christmas does he?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, he was in bed almost dying for most of the real Christmas after changing his face and now look at him even when Christmas was months ago he still ends up in a mess! It’s a wonder he doesn’t ban Christmas in this place completely.”

Rose blinked at her mum then looked back at the Doctor. “It’s not Christmas?”

“No love, like I said that was months ago.”

“Then why was he acting like it was?”

“Maybe aliens have more than one Christmas a year.”**

Ooh the big question huh? Lol and you KNOW you wanna have more than one Christmas a year! It’d be fun! Come on, Rose had two, why can’t we?

**“No thanks, I don’t wana leave him.” She stoked his hair away from the bandage on his head.**

Aww too adorable :D

**He opened one eye and looked around him, everything looked normal. “Rassilon,my head!” he cursed and became very aware that he hand no shirt on and that his trousers were undone. “What did I do last night?”**

O-O What DID he get up to? You holding out on us and just hinting at it with the X break?

**“Last night? More like ten o’clock this morning!” Jackie’s voice cut through his brain. “Mind you the strip show was entertaining, but a little bit clumsy.”

“St….strip show?” The Doctor stammered.**

Oh man, you can’t have a strip show and NOT include it! Lol though if I were him I’d be just a wee bit worried about his current state of undress and Jackie in the room!

**The TARDIS bleeped at him. “Oh very funny.” He retorted a slight snarl to his voice.

“What she say?” Rose asked emerging with a cup of coffee.

“She said I….I have a nice bum.”

Jackie and Rose burst into giggles. “Even your own ship has a crush on you!” Rose said between laughs, noticing the pink blush that had started creeping up his neck.

“Must have taste.”**

Hehe, well he does have a rather nice one ;) I remember (see this is the memory lane BMQA!) in Idiot’s Lantern…lol that just sounds so wrong a title!...when he’s already lost Rose and talking to that family on their doorstep. Took me a moment to realise I was just staring at his butt (since his hands were in his pockets pulling the jacket and pulling the trousers tight…they really should do more back views ;p) rather than listening to what was being said…thankfully I was watching it alone so no one to hassle me bout it ;)

**He groaned as he tried to stand. “I’m going to have a shower and when I get back we are going to go.”

“Go where?” Rose asked.

“Back to erase time!” He said, trudging out of the room.**

Aww but then he’d be erasing the kiss too! Does he remember that yet? Lol yes I’ve already read the whole fic, but this is like reading it all over again…plus it has been a while :p

**He let the luke-warm water cascade down his back**

Dude! I’m trying to concentrate on the fic, not how much I wanna jump DT!

**He could remember most of it, right up to the point where Jackie appeared and he fell down. After that there was nothing so… “You little…” He turned the shower off wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out of the shower. Stalking through the TARDIS he found Rose in her room, unloading the washing her mum had obviously done for her in double quick time while he was unconscious.

“Feeling better?” She asked cheerily before looking at him. He looked serious. In fact he looked angry. “What?...What?”

“There was no strip show was there?” He growled stopping a few feet in front of her.**

Lol sweet, so we weren’t the only ones to miss out :p

**Rose bit her bottom lip and slowly shook her head, trying not to smile. “But there soon will be if you don’t keep hold of that towel.” She nodded at him. Watching a droplet of water drip from his hair and run down his chest, disappearing under the towel.**

Seriously, I can’t drool and read at the same time! It’s bad for my laptop!

**“What really happened to my clothes?” He watched her teeth tear at her lip and he froze. “Sorry.” He said after a few moments.

“What?” She was thrown by the sudden change in him.

“I….. I think I kissed you.”**

Eh? I thought she was just a bit mesmerized by the current view! :p

**“Oh that. Don’t worry about it. It’s fine. Really, it is. Quite funny really.”

She’s rambling he thought she’s not comfortable with it. “I’m sorry. If I hadn’t been drunk it wouldn’t have happened I swear.”**

You idiot, you absolute idiot!

**“Oh” Her face turned frosty.

Nicely put, now she thinks you couldn’t bear to do it sober. Hang on. Why does that matter? She doesn’t think of you in that way, does she?

“I didn’t mean that the way it came out.”

She watched him shiver as his damp skin cooled off. “It’s ok really.”

“No, it was an idiotic thing to say. I just meant that…..well I…..oh I don’t know.” He gave a small sardonic laugh.**

Lol at least he knows it too.

**“It’s fine, I know what you meant.”

“Do you?”

“Not really no.” she admitted.

“Oh. Well. Right. At least we’re both clear on the fact neither of us know what I meant.” He shrugged.

“Business as usual then.” She watched as he shifted uncomfortably and she turned back to her washing.

“Right. Yes. Business as usual.” The Doctor turned and left, leaving Rose feeling miserable. She flopped down on her bed and sighed. Well, she’d always wondered if he felt anything stronger than friendship for her and now she knew. The Doctor didn’t find her attractive, he had to be drunk to want to kiss her.**

Ugh, you’re both bloody idiots! Business as usual bit was amusing but still, they’re just…ugh…

**‘You’re an idiot’ he chided himself. ‘So many better ways of dealing with that one! Such as I’m sorry if that kiss upset you, it wasn’t intended too, I didn’t realise what I was doing. But no you had to go with the ‘it never would’ve happened if I was sober.’ Charm just oozes from every pore. Well done moron.’**

It’s amazing how he can charm every person he meets…except the one that matters most :p

**He sighed as he pulled on his shirt and jacket. ‘Maybe she wont mind.’ He walked down the corridor to the control room. ‘Maybe I’ll go out there and everything will be as it was.’ Taking a deep breath he entered and gave Rose a huge grin as he stepped beside her. ‘Or maybe not’ he thought as Rose gave him a sideways glance and moved to the over side of the controls.

“Rose.” he sighed.

“So, where are we going?” She said, her voice laced with a fake cheeriness that made the Doctor’s stomach sink even further.

“Where do you want to go?”

“Dunno, I always choose. Your turn.” She walked passed him, giving him a tight smile and headed back to her room.**

Sigh…don’t let her go!

**“Rose!” She heard him call after her and his footsteps jogging to catch up with her.**

Good man! :)

**“Look I really am sorry. It didn’t come out the way it should’ve done.”

“I know, you said.”

He jumped into her path, stopping her in her tracks. “What I should’ve said was. I’m sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable, it wasn’t intended to. I’d never knowingly do anything to make you feel uncomfortable.” His fingertips brushed against her hand, causing her to look up at him. He could see the hurt in her face and suddenly it hit him. She wasn’t upset that he’d kissed her; she was upset because she thought he hadn’t meant it. Truth was he had meant it. He HAD wanted to kiss her many times, but when he was sober, sense and reason told him he couldn’t. Kisses lead to other things, all of which the last of the Time Lords couldn’t have with a human, no matter how much he cared for her.

He found himself staring at her for too long. He wanted to make things better; he wanted to see her smile again, for things to go back to what passed for normal on his ship. He just wished he knew the right thing to say.

“I’ll go see where she’d headed.” He muttered, his eyes darting to look anywhere but her eyes before retreating to the control room.**

Ugh, and you’re back to being and idiot! All you had to do was kiss her and it’d be right as rain!...sigh, stupid TL/H not happening bull crap…

**Rose stood in silence in the corridor. Tears pricked at her eyes and she let them drop onto her cheeks. Maybe it would be better if she went home, left now before things became too complicated. She seriously thought about if for a moment but then realised, rather selfishly that she couldn’t bear to not see his face again. She’d just have to live with the fact that he didn’t find her attractive, she was his friend, nothing more and the only real friend he had.**

Ugh, these two drive me insane!

**The Doctor kicked the control panel. “Sorry.” He muttered when the TARDIS beeped at him.**

Poor Tardis, always getting beaten up…though a kick is nothing compared to…sigh…guess you’ll have to wait and see how that sentence would end :p

**Sitting heavily on a chair he nursed his now throbbing toe. “At least with you I know how to put things right.” He told his machine and sighed “What am I going to do now?” He looked round the control room. Under other circumstances he would have been very proud of how festive it looked. Twinkling lights, baubles hanging from every accessible point and that’s when he spotted it.

X**

Lol you just love doing that to us don’tcha just?

**“What the…? What are you up too?” Rose exclaimed as she re-entered the control room. “It’s not even Christmas.”

“Oh you noticed that, huh?”

“Mum told me yesterday. We’ve got a few months ‘til the next one yet. What’s all this in aid of?”

“Well, Christmas was….. well, it was a bit rubbish really. What with the whole alien invasion and what have you. I kind of wanted to give you a fairly normal, non traumatic Christmas to make up for it.” He scratched the back of his head awkwardly. “Behold my success in all its glory!” Rose heard the sarcasm in his voice as he threw his arms wide.

“You don’t do normal.” Rose countered.

“Not normally, no. But I thought I could cope with one day. I managed to cope with your mother’s Christmas dinner!” He offered her a small smile.

“So all of this; the tinsel and the lights and that tree; they were all for me?”

“Yeah, I suppose so.”**

:D Eh I’m starting to like ‘em again :D

**“And all of that?” She asked, pointing up at the ceiling. There were lengths of string pinned from one side of the room to the other in all directions and each length was laden with mistletoe.

“Ah, yes, well. That is also for you.” He mumbled.**

O_O Bow bow chica wow wow!

**“Hmm?” Rose hadn’t heard him properly and turned back to face him.

“What I said earlier. It really did come out wrong.”

“You don’t have to explain.” Rose shrugged, rubbing at a spot on the floor with her toe.

The Doctor sighed, took her face in his hands and planted a kiss on her lips. It was so soft she barely felt it.**

Oh come on! Could have at least done a ‘kissed her thoroughly kiss :p

**“Well, you know, I’m not drunk.” He stepped back and shrugged, clearing his throat.**

Pff…rofl, now of all reasons for kissing someone…that’s a…unique one!

**“Oh.” Rose stood staring at him as he turned towards the consol and allowed herself a small smile. Without warning she grabbed his face and kissed him as hard as he had kissed her last night, leaving him dazed and breathless.**

See, not THAT’S what I’m talking about!

**“Wha…?” The Doctor panted.

“Well, you know. Mistletoe. It’s tradition.” She told him before practically bouncing out of the room, grinning to herself.**

Rofl that’d do nicely for a reason too…lol though ‘I’m not drunk either’ would have cracked me up too ;)

**A/N: O what a minx. So anyway folks, did you enjoy?**

Nope, not at all, I just spent all this time writing a 7…no just crossed over into the 8 page BMQA cos I thought it was shite…and if you believe that you’re sillier than the Doctor!

**Have a 'Fantastic' Christmas season who ever you are and what ever you do!**

Well I guess for me that was either rather belated or rather early since I read this almost smack bang in between Christmases…odd way of thinking of the year but…you know…shrugs

Wards and wards to the third and final (well for CC anyway) BMQA…

Okay originally I as going to write this with all my thoughts at the start…but now they’re just going to be as they came to me…so enjoy! ;)

**A/N: I own nothing to do with Doctor who, not even Mr Tennant's phone number.**

See THIS was the beginning of my wanting his phone number phase! I knew you were to blame for it for some reason! :p

**I will make no money what-so-ever from this fiction although if I'm lucky I may get a few reviews!**

Well TECHNICALLY the money things true...wait you can't untechnically get money...but as for the 'few reviews', you get more than that! Lucky bit rich...lol I loved how they did that in the New Earth ep ;)

**“What on earth are you doing?” Rose asked running to the TARDIS doors, holding them open for the struggling Doctor.**

Oh man, just remembered which fic this is! I could be at this for HOURS! Oy curumba, the things I do...

**“Well,” the Doctor grunted, pulling at something. “I thought it was about time we had a Christmas tree.” He staggered backwards as the tree finally squeezed through the door, falling onto the floor. Rose couldn’t help it she burst out laughing causing the Doctor to pout. There he sat, where he’d fallen on his backside on the floor of the TARDIS, elbows resting on his knees eyebrow raised at his companion.**

Lol too cute!

**“I’m sorry.” She gasped finally reaching a hand down to help him up. He caught her off balance and yanked her to the floor.**

Is it just me or does it sound just a little like he could be thinking with the black suit on right then? :p

**“Not normally, no. But I do have decorations.”

“So what makes this year different?”**

And why does he have decorations when he doesn’t celebrate it?

**“Too far that way.”

“Which way?”

“That way.”

“Rose which way is ‘that way’? I have a tree blocking my view.”

“Oh, right sorry.” She giggled. “To the right.”

“It needs to go to the right or it’s too far right?”**

Lol this had me in stitches!

**“Tell ya what, I’ll wiggle it and you hold it where I put it.”

The Doctor bit his tongue as many jokes sprang to mind, all of them unsuitable for present company.**

Rofl lol…oh that cracked me up!

**Suddenly he lost his grip and the tree fell on top of him pinning him to the ground with a mouth full of pine needles and forcing the breath from his body.**

…is this the one when he gets hurt…wait no, soz that’s the long ramble…but this brings that to mind…poor bugger ;p

**“I’ll run and get a plaster” she told him.**

Soz but now I’ve got like those small plasters on his forehead…looks…lol…amusing…

**“No, no. It’s alright. I’ll go.” He stood up and felt the world shift beneath his feet. “Was that her or me?” he asked groggily clamping a hand to his aching head.**

Aww poor Doc…though at least in fairness it COULD have actually been the Tardis ;)

**“Who thought making trees heavy was a good idea?” he moaned, closing his eyes against the light.

“Well most people don’t drop them on their heads!”**

Lol a fair enough point…and besides, I don’t think anyone decided on the weight of trees anyway…

**“Poor Doctor.” Rose cooed

“Are you mocking me Rose Tyler?”

“Not at all!” She feigned innocence.

“Well, just see how much sympathy you get from me next time a tree falls on your head!” He told her, pouting like a little child, which only earned him more laughter.

The Doctor found himself suddenly laughing then wincing again as his head pounded even more.**

Aww love their chemistry and he’s just too cute…chemistry might not be the right word though…sorry my brain’s still recuperating…

**There was no sound except the hum of the TARDIS, a noise Rose had become so familiar with she found she couldn’t sleep without it anymore.**

Now there’s an idea I would never blatantly steal …I might have to give you creds for that at some stage…though would seem bit weird now since it’s a few parts past…but still, you know, the thought that counts and all that…

**When she visited her mum she had taken to returning to the TARDIS to sleep when her mum had gone to bed. At least that’s what she told herself. But she knew part of it was because that’s where the Doctor spent most nights when Rose was visiting her mother.**

Aww she likes she, she want to hold him…she wants to sleep in the Tardis with him ;p

**But there was something very comforting about the hum of the big blue box, it was almost a purr.**

Man…now I wanna sleep in the Tardis too :(

**She looked down at the Doctor. He hadn’t stirred at all, not a flinch or a flicker. Leaning closer she listened, his breathing was heavier than normal and she smiled, the Doctor was asleep.**

Hehe, that is just adorable :)

**He fiddled for a moment before holding it to his head. He let out a groan as he felt himself relax and the headache subside slightly. He knew he’d have to wait for it to go away completely on it’s own but any relief was welcome.**

Rofl…soz that’s not actually funny, but just remembered what comes next…at the time of first reading this got me a wee bit worried about the poor old Doc…

**He quietly made his way down the corridor and silently poked his head round Rose’s door. She sprawled over her bed still in the same clothes she’d been wearing earlier, sound asleep. He spotted a book on the floor underneath where her hand was dangling off the bed. He smiled to himself as he slipped into her room. He picked up the book and placed it on the bedside table. Gently taking her hand he propped it on the mattress and laid the blanket across her. She shifted slightly at the movement and the Doctor froze, waiting for her to wake. But she didn’t she just gave a little moan and snuggled further into her pillow.**

Naaw, aren’t they just so cute!

**“Right you.” The Doctor addressed the fallen Christmas tree. “You and me have got a job to do. So no funny business, I’ve got a screwdriver and I’m not afraid to use it.” Slipping his glasses on, he shrugged out of his jacket, pulled off his tie and rolled up his shirt sleeves.**

Rofl that just totally cracked me up!

**She stopped and listened for a reply, but instead of him calling out she was sure she could hear him singing. Following her ears she made her way towards the sound. Rounding the corner to the living area she found him. Right in the middle of the room, stringing lights and tinsel all over the place singing along to Christmas songs. She bit on her thumb to stop herself from laughing. The TARDIS seemed to be enjoying herself too, fading the lights of the room in and out in time to the music.**

Hehe so festive and cute and wonderful :D

**Rose heard a series of beeps and the Doctor spun round. All composure was lost. Standing in the middle of the room, with tinsel hung round his neck stood the Doctor, complete with a pair of reindeer horns on his head and a flashing nose.**

Rofl BRILLIANT!

**“Morning Rose!” He treated her to one of his widest grins and watched as she bent double with laughter. “Told you she’d laugh.” The Doctor said as he went back to dancing around the room with Christmas Decorations “Rocking around the Christmas tree, la lala la la lala” he sung, throwing some kind of sparkling powder at the tree.**

Lol cracks me up him telling the Tarids that…hehe I think you’re gonna have to do another Xmas fic cos this is awesome :)

**“Are you feeling alright?” Rose asked finally regaining composure.

“I’m fine why?” He took her in his arms and twirled her around the room.

“You just seem extra…. Cheery.”

“Nope I’m absholutely fantastic.”**

Hehe, and the dancing and the cheeriness, good times had by all :D

**“Ab-sho-lutely? Doctor, are you drunk?”

“Not at all! I object to the accusation.” He stumbled as he twirled. “What makes you think I am?”

“The Jack Sparrow impression for one.” She said, reaching out to prop him up when it looked like he’d over balance.

“Well. I’m. Not.” He told her. “She,” he said pointing to the ceiling, Rose figured he meant the TARDIS, “She made something delishious to drink. It’s over on the table, try some!” He pointed to the table then sambaed out of the room. Rose picked up a glass and sniffed.

“TARDIS, how much alcohol did you put in here? It’s meant to be Eggnog not paint stripper.” She heard the machine beep at her. Sighing she left to find the Doctor again. It didn’t take long. He was in the control room, stringing yet more lights and tinsel around the consol.**

Rofl brilliant, absholutely fantastic! ;)

**“Oops” she heard him suddenly say as he looked at the monitor.

“What oops?”

Before he could answer there was a banging on the door.

“Your mother.” He said nodding to the doors.**

Rofl, it just gets better and better!

Rose went to let her mother in. “Hello.” Rose sighed.

**“What’s wrong, why are you back so soon? Or have you been away ages and made it so you’ve come back just after you’ve left?”

“See, this is what happens when you drink and drive.” The Doctor said merrily.**

Rofl, or regenerate and drive either…that was amusing too ;)

**“Wait. What did you do with the sonic screwdriver?”

“I don’t want to know!” Jackie said “It is called a screwdriver after all.”

“Mum!”

“Now that’s just naughty!” He wagged his finger at Jackie, a dopey grin on his face. He seemed to be getting more drunk by the minute but he wasn’t actually drinking now. He started singing as he did a one man conga from the control room out to the corridor.**

Lol soz the ‘naughty’ came out in Cassandra’s ‘voice’ in my head ;) …I might have to have a drunk Doctor in one of my fics, looks like fun to play with…you know what I mean…I hope… ;)

**“Silly human. Like you do with para….para…asprin.”**

Rofl, and that’s brilliant…my friends and I in high school used to do that a fair bit…but in quirkier ways…like someone would go ‘It’s ba…bu…be…enormous!’ (the word you ‘couldn’t’ say was always easier than the one you DID say ;))

**“Nope, quite happy standing thank you very much.” He removed his tie and draped it round her neck. “Ah Rose. My lovely, sweet, darling Rose. You’re so pretty.” The Doctor murmured planting a heavy kiss on her lips before collapsing in a heap at Rose’s feet.**

O_O Now THAT was unexpected…but aw so wonderful at the same time! :D

**A/N: It's not gona be a long fic but he's gona get himself into trouble. Still being the Doctor, it doesn't take much does it!**

Lol the last time you said ‘not gona be a long fic’ it was like 13 parts! …pity I already know that doesn’t apply to this one :(

**Comments, suggestion? All reviews welcome.**

Well the reviews are finally in…well from me anyway…one down two to go ;) …well four if you count Possession and Forgiveness…one day two/four to go, take your pick ;)

**Well when I say 'all' as long as their not nasty for the sake of it, you know 'flames' cause I have a fire extinguisher and I know how to use it!**

You throw it at the nasty person’s head? Hehe or if you’re Hammy you use it to propel trollies…anyway…upward and forward…forward and onwards…umm let’s just leave it at

"Catch ya on the flip flop"

Yay! Way awesome, and cute, and all that. Very cute. But... one thing.

Jackie Tyler, don't give him that, you have NOT seen him naked! If you had, you wouldn't have been inquiring after what other things he has two of! Or is she just stretching the truth a bit? But, in that case... Rose saw him naked? Maybe they just left his underwear on, so as not to embarrass him, or maybe get frightened by some sort of terrifying alien private parts...

I'm rambling. Anyway, I loved the fic. Loved it. Best thing I've read all week.

OMG that was SO funny! XD I LOVE it! *Favourites* I'm off on a reading rampage of your stories for some random reason, see ya in your next story!

Yay! A new chapter!

I laugh at the image of drunk Jackie, because it seems just like the sort of thing she would do when drunk.
