Who:Martha & Jack [plotlocked].
Where: Starts at Martha's room (104).
When: Late at night.
Rating: Let's say PG-13 to start.
Why: Martha told Jack that all he had to do was knock on her door one night and she'd go skinny dipping with him.

Martha had just settled into bed and was dreaming. It was looking to be a very good dream, actually. She was sitting on a towel on a nice sandy beach in the middle of the night, far far away from Cardiff, watching as a very not dressed Jack approached her, a slow grin spreading across her face as she enjoyed both the view he was providing and the night air –

And then there was knocking at her door, jerking from sleep and forcing her to sit up on her bed. She sat for a moment, rubbing her eyes as there was more knocking, and then climbed out of bed as she pushed away the idea of Derek making an appearance later on in the now lost dream. She made her way to the door, not ever caring that she wasn't properly dressed to answer it.

"Whatever it is," she said, even as she pulled the door open, "it had better be good."

He knocked sharply on the door to room # 104, wondering if Martha would be asleep yet or not. He was taking her at her word, that he should knock any time and she'd be set for a little adventure by the lake. He was dressed entirely in black and had a knapsack strapped over both shoulders with towels and extra clothing, a bottle of champagne and two plastic glasses.

"Whatever it is," she said on the other side of the door, "it had better be good."

Jack grinned as the door opened, and he eyed her from head to toe and back again. "Oh, it's good, if you're still up for skinny dipping, that is."

	The frown that had started to appear quickly reversed into a wide smile as Martha saw Jack on her doorstep and she laughed slightly. "I'm definitely still up for it," she said, thinking to herself that she most definitely wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. "Give me a minute to find something decent?"

	He laughed, hoping he wasn't waking anyone else up. "Martha, it's after midnight, baby, and you're going to be stripping at the lake." Jack slowly shook his head. "I don't think you need to worry about finding 'something decent'..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha laughed, the wide grin still on her face as she shook her head. "Could I at least be decent during the walk there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, if you insist," he teased, runing his eyes up and down her body appraisingly and finally settling on her face. "Do what you gotta do, baby." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'll only be a moment," Martha said, even as she still felt hot from Jack's gaze, though she managed to not blush as she left the door open as a silent invitation in while she returned to her bedroom.

She quickly stripped of the t-shirt she'd worn to bed in favour of a tank top and a pair of shorts, moving towards the door even as she slipped a pair of sneakers on. Figuring Jack has everything they'd need, she didn't grab a towel from her bathroom and went to rejoin him in the living room area.

He wandered into the living area, hands in his pockets, turning so as not to smack the knapsack on his back into anything. The plastic glasses weren't a big concern, but it would be shame to christen the walls with the champagne.

"We've got lots of time," he murmured while he waited. He smiled when she reappeared and offered her a small flashlight from his pocket. "Don't want you tripping in the dark."

	With a smile of her own, Martha took the flashlight she was offered, clicking it on and off again out of habit before she slipped it into her back pocket for the time being. "And miss an opportunity to have me grab onto you for balance?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities for you to grab me. baby," he said. "Ready? Let's go."

He opened the door to her room and held it for her then closed it behind them.

"Do you want to lead the way or shall I?" And he headed down the hall toward the Lobby before she could answer. "Hurry up, Doctor Jones. The night isn't going to last forever..."

Martha only gave a light laugh and shook her head as she stepped out into the hallway just outside the door to her room, waiting long enough for Jack to close the door and following him down the hall.

"It's not going to suddenly end, either," she retorted good-naturedly even as she caught up with him. "So, do I get to find out what surprises you've got tucked away in that bag of yours?"

"Well, it shouldn't suddenly end, Doctor Jones," he replied, slowing so that they walked side by side. "But you and I know that the universe can change in the blink of an eye."

They reached the Lobby and headed through the dim lighting to the doors. He gave her a wink and added, "As for the items in my bag? No mystery there, I'm sure. Towels, clothing, champagne. You know..."

He opened the door and ushered her through ahead of him.

"All the essentials for a night skinny dipping."

	"That we most definitely do," Martha replied thinking of the exact instance as she kept at Jack's side. "Always prepared, right?" she teased, going ahead of him out into the open night air. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Indeed," he murmured, likely thinking of the same situations as Martha. Then he grinned and said, "Perhaps I was a Boy Scout in a previous life or something." The night was lovely, actually, and it wouldn't be too cool for skinny dipping. He glanced up at the stars. "Those constellations still bug me. They aren't right, for any system I've been in..."

"I think I could actually picture that," she said in reply to his Boy Scout mention, a small smile on her face as they made their way to the lake.

She followed his gaze, looking up at the night sky. "Nothing about Here is right." She commented, then continuing. "I know what you mean, though. Even when I was travelling with the Doctor, it never felt wrong, being on those planets, in those times. Just different, in a pleasant way."

	"And like a Boy Scout, I know how to start a campfire without a match, how to apply first aid, and how to love thy neighbour." Jack slid her a look. "It was always interesting, traveling with the Doctor. I'll never forget it. Ever." They were almost at the lake, which was good. His thoughts were sliding into deeper waters than he wanted to go right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betterthangood 2008-10-16 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	"All very important qualities in a Boy Scout." She grinned. "Me either." She gave a short nod, looking over at Jack for a moment with a smile before once again returning her attention to the ground before her. Knowing Jack well enough, she was aware enough of his mood to nudge him slightly. "Imagining me naked?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	faceofboeshane 2008-10-19 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	He sighed and softly observed, "You know me well, don't you?" Then he looked across at her and smiled. "Yeah, but I picture you naked all the time, Martha. Just never seen it in person, before... Ah! Here we go." They'd reached a gathering of rocks and a path which led down to the water. "I'll go first," he said. "In case the Boogy Man is around..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betterthangood 2008-11-06 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I like to think so, yeah." She was in no way implying anything, only stating it as a fact. "Do you?" She asked with a grin of her own. "I hope I live up to expectations, then." She was anticipating the idea of skinny dipping the closer they got to their destination, and nodded in understanding, staying behind him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jack nodded. "I do. Picture you naked, that is. It's a hobby." He gave a dramatic sigh. "I know, I know. I need to get out more."

The path ended at some flatish rocks, no doubt claimed by many a soul for sunbathing. It was no wonder there was a path to this spot. He stepped up, onto the rock, and looked over the lake, smooth and quiet in the light of the moon.

Turning back to Martha, he offered her his hand.

"Coming?"

And he grinned, because he was Captain of the Innuendo Squad, after all.

	"It's one of your better hobbies," she teased as they reached the end of the path. The hidden meaning wasn't lost on Martha at all as she gave Jack a grin of her own, taking the offered hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why, thank you. Constructive feedback is always welcome." Jack helped her up and then set his knapsack down. "So, swim first, champagne after?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha's excitement for the entire situation was evident in her eyes. "Sounds good to me." With a slight smile, she kicked off her sneakers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He watched her remove her shoes, her face looking happy and relaxed. Good. Jack removed his boots, pulled his black T-shirt over his head and started to work on his black jeans. "You do know how to swim, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
