Supersized Drabble: Holiday Road, Rose/Peter, G Title:Holiday Road Pairing: Rose Tyler and Peter Carlisle Rating: G Spoilers: Through A Reception Thing. Notes: Perhaps a bit of cheer for the LJers, who seem to have been having a roughish week all around. Apocryphal unless otherwise noted by jlrpuck.

‘You do realize that when Elias shoved you out the door and told you to “get lost,” he didn’t mean literally,’ Rose deadpanned.
‘Mrs. Carlisle, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were questioning my navigatory acumen,' Peter retorted, half-amused, half-irritated.
‘All right then, where exactly are we?’ Rose quipped.
‘Greece,' Peter replied tersely.
‘Glad we cleared that one up,’ she continued teasing.
‘How would I know, Rose, we’re in the middle of Greece, taking a spur-of-the-moment minibreak in a microscopic vehicle that wouldn't pass the safety inspection for a rollerskate back home! This was your idea!’
‘Tell ya wot, if the zanzare you’ve been working to ditch for the last 20-odd miles finds us, we can follow him back to town.’
Rose half-expected wisps of steam to begin curling up out of Peter’s ears, and she disguised her sudden burst of laughter as a cough. Perhaps not entirely successfully, as Peter shot her a sideways warning look while they continued down the gravelly road.
She couldn’t help winding Peter up every so often. Rose blamed it on the dimples.
