Hey, just a random idea that came to me! I sounded cool in my head! Not so sure on the paper! Well, just read it! Includes Captain Jack who is somehow with them. Don't ask me how. Just a bit of fun.

"So, where'd you wanna go?" The Doctor grinned crookedly, staring at Rose and Jack, "The Spanish Armada? Mars? Raxicoricofallipatorius? No, maybe not. The extinction of the dodo?"

"Er…" Rose looked at Jack who shrugged, "Well, I was wondering whether you could take me home?"

"What? Why? What did I do? Why?!" the Doctor looked crestfallen.

"No," Rose laughed at his forlorn expression, "I mean can we go back to Earth. I know we have the whole of time and space to explore but I want to do something kinda normal. Show you something of my time."

"But Rose, I know what Earth's like, I've been there thousands of times," the Doctor frowned.

"Yeah, but you take me all these amazing places, I wanna…I dunno, do something totally human," Rose struggled to get her point across as the two men she loved most in the universe stared at her in bewilderment.

"Like what?" Jack finally asked.

"I wanna go camping!" Rose smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Camping?" Doctor repeated, a raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I went once when I was a kid with Guides but I never really got a chance after that because of living in London. I've always wanted to go again," Rose made her eyes big and round, pleading.

"Living in a tent and cooking by fire?" the Doctor said, looking doubtful.

"Yeah, I'll sort it out! I know exactly where to go and what activities we can do! It'll be so much fun!" Rose clapped her hands together and danced away across the control room.

"Did I say yes?" the Doctor turned a bemused expression on Jack who grinned and shrugged.

"I don't think you have much choice, when that girl's set on something she gets it," the American replied.

"No she doesn't, I can tell her no," the Time Lord answered, looking haughty. Just at that moment Rose came skipping over to them and huge smile plastered across her face.

"So, it's sorted, I've borrowed a tent from a mate, another friend of mines letting us use her field, I've got some activities sorted…" Rose reeled off several more parts of her plan whilst the Doctor stood agape, stunned by the speed of the words tumbling out of her mouth. It was like him on a high, "It's gonna be great! You don't mind do you?" Rose directed her last sentence at him and the Doctor froze.

"Sure!" he squeaked in fright and ran away to go fix something. Jack just burst out laughing and Rose gave him a strange look.


"Right, this is it!" Rose breathed in the fresh country air and smiled, her hair blowing freely in the strong wind. The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS after her, lugging a tent and some other supplies, "The open countryside!"

"Yes, Rose, I can see that but I still don't see why we had to come here! If you wanted the countryside we could've just made a quick daytrip and then be back in the TARDIS before tea!" the Doctor panted.

"But where's the fun in that?" Jack followed them out, grinning, carrying several rucksacks.

"Ok, so where are we gonna set up camp?" the Doctor sighed and looked around the rolling hills and spotted a steady flowing river at the edge of the field. A densely wooded area was situated behind them and a small house with several metal sheds out the back was settled in front. A small track ran up to this dwelling from a road the Doctor could see in the distance, fast cars speeding past. "And where's the loo?"

"There isn't one, dodo," Rose thumped him happily on the shoulder, "When nature calls you go in a bush! The proper camping experience."

"But, what if you need….a number two?" the Doctor whispered.

"Ah, that's a special case and you can use that building over there. It belongs to my friend, Debs; she's the one letting us use her field. She runs a kennels."

"Oh, so that explains the dog barking I can hear in the background. I was wondering whether my mind was playing tricks on me," Jack nodded, "Is this Debs single?"

"Yes, but leave her alone, Jack, she's just divorced," Rose warned the flirtatious captain who pouted and hung his head. "Anyway, I may have forgotten to tell you, in exchange for using her facilities."

"Facilities?!" the Doctor gave a bark of a laugh.

"Yes, Doctor, she asked me if we could walk some of the dogs in the morning and the evening," Rose finished.

"Oh, sounds fun!" the Doctor said sarcastically.

"Doctor! That's not like you! Usually you enjoy anything," Rose frowned, "Why are you being moody?"

"Rose, you're separating me from my TARDIS so I can sleep under a piece of material and pee in a bush, I think I have reason to be moody," the Doctor retorted.

"Oh well, you'll have to get over it then," Rose continued unfazed, "Because I have this, and this." The girl held up the Doctor's sonic screwdriver and three keys.

"But, but, how could you?!" the Doctor yelped, "What if I need to save the world or something? How am I supposed to do that if you take away my tools?"

"No aliens are gonna pop up on this holiday. You won't need you're toys here," Rose smirked and tucked them in her pocket before shutting the door of the blue police box behind them. The Doctor deflated, stuck out his bottom lip and followed an exuberant Rose over to a flat piece of land where she decided would be a great place to set up the tent.

"Now, Jack, got any experience of putting up tents?"

"Er…we don't really have them in the 51st century but I learn fast," Jack grinned his usual charming smile and grabbed the end of the tent bag, tipping the contents on the floor. "Let's go!"


"Doctor! Slide the damn pole through the hole!" Rose yelled at the Time Lord who looked completely and utterly lost.

"I don't get it."

"What is there to get?!" she cried out in frustration, "Jack, help him." The ex-conman bounded over to the Doctor's side and demonstrated sliding the joined, flexible poles through the flimsy material.

"Well that's stupid," the Doctor announced.

"Doctor, shut up and do the next one!" Rose shouted at him.

"Fine!" the Doctor replied and then muttered to himself, "Bossy-boots, meanie, bully…"

"Voila!" Rose squealed as the tent took shape and the three of them pegged in the guide ropes.

"Is that it?" the Doctor asked, unimpressed.

"Yes, wanna look inside?" Rose unzipped the front porch and climbed in. The Doctor followed uncertainly and lay down beside her. Jack jumped in the middle of them and rolled on his back. It was rather squashed.

"Hmm, we're gonna be very cosy in here," Jack grinned suggestively.

"Don't even think about it!" the Doctor and Rose yelled simultaneously.

Review and have a chocolate biscuit! Tell me what you think. Good? Bad? Should I continue?
