STATUS: CLOSED
Rating: TBD

Rose had never been happier to see someone arrive when she noticed Jack was here. She barely even wanted to give him the option to say no to her, she was already shoving her trainers on when she started talking to him. She wanted to see him as soon as she could and when he offered to sit and listen, she jumped at the chance. She usually talked to Sirius about everything but he probably needed a break from it all before he exploded. Grabbing her bag, she headed out of the TARDIS, shouting a quick goodbye to the Doctor just in case he was in there. Not that she would know, she barely saw him anymore and she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't notice if she just stayed in the house they had. The house he barely went into.

Running from the TARDIS, she just enjoyed the moment of freedom that running gave and soon she noticed that she was near the library. It didn't take her long to spot Jack and she didn't even stop running. She just kept going until her arms were flung around him and she lifted her legs, clinging on tightly.

"God I'm happy to see you."

She laughed loudly as he swung her, possibly feeling the happiest she had in a few weeks. Pressing her nose against the joint between his neck and shoulder, she took a deep breath and didn't let go. Sighing softly, she just let herself take in his warmth and the incredible calm feeling he suddenly gave her. He may not be the most calm of men but he always seemed to make her feel so safe.

"I've missed you so much," she said quietly against his skin eyes closed.

He set her back down after a few spins, but didn't let go, either. Something had her upset with the double dose of Doctor, and he could use the comfort himself, getting pulled away from his life like that. Thankfully, he hadn't lost in coat in the process, and it helped with keeping Rose wrapped up nice and warm.

"I've missed you, too," he said. "We barely got to talk, last times I saw you. How long have you been stuck here?"

"Two years," she told him with a slight frown, arms firmly wrapped around his neck. "I've seen you here a couple of times, and the Doctor has been back and forth. I think this is one of the longest times I've had him here."

She was use to being here herself now since she had experienced a lot of it. She hated being here herself but she always went on and dealt with it. There was nothing else to do but just go on as best she can.

"Two years? Wow... I spent a year and a half somewhere else, thought that was ridiculous, but two..."

He gave her a squeeze. "It wasn't me-me, though. I compared notes with that other Doctor, and that's a different life, at least two years different. I don't know if it matters which of me exactly you met so long ago. Maybe it's something like the two Doctors, same life up to a point and then splitting. Or maybe two entirely separate and just a lot in common. I don't know."

	"It rarely is. People don't seem to remember that they've been here before." It made things rather annoying for her, since she had to explain everything again when all she wanted was to hug them and just go back to how things were. Go back to the friendship they had before. "But you're here now. That's all that matters." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"But I wasn't..." Nevermind, Rose had more on her mind now than clarifying different timelines. It really didn't matter that much if she was the Rose of his universe or not. She was still Rose, and he still adored her and missed her.

"Yeah," he said, and grinned. "That's what matters. We might just get confused on some details that vary. Think of it as a chance to tell each other new stories! How about we get that drink?"

"Sure," Rose said, finally pulling away from him. "There's a couple I'm...not allowed in but we can go to one near by."

Sirius' influence had lead to her being barred in a few pubs. Not that they had specifically said they were going to go to a pub but she assumed that was it. But just to check, she glanced up at him.

"What type of drink?"

She didn't care if it was probably too early to drink alcohol she wouldn't say no.

"Not allowed in? Why's that?" He kept an arm around her anyway; whether or not she needed the contact, he could really use the reassurance, still a bit in shock over it.

"I don't suppose they have hypervodka here? If not, scotch?" Time, early, bah. Some other day, they could worry about appropriate drinking times. He wasn't likely to do much drinking after that, sure, but right then? Drink, heavily, please. "This isn't a day for fruity cocktails!"

"I'm...kind of barred from a few places. I have a friend I go out with a lot, he's probably too bad an influence. Dancing on tables and the bars, things like that."

She stayed against Jack as much as she could as they walked, heading toward a pub she knew would work. A slightly less busy place, well not busy in a businessmen post work type way, more people out to get pissed.

"We can find you something I'm sure."

"Rose, you little devil!" He mock gasped at her and then grinned.

"I guess you haven't lived until you've been thrown out of at least a few establishments. Oooo, do I get to see a demonstration?" Unlike his flirting with the Doctor, flirting with Rose was just two dear friends playing around, not that she wasn't gorgeous.

They kept pace together, which was a necessity anyway with the closeness. "Let's have a proper piss-up!... I've lived in Cardiff so long."

"Don't blame me!" she said with a laugh, hitting his chest. But it was true, it was only out of fun and no one got harmed. Being chucked out was just part of the fun. Or it was at the time, before she realised she would soon run out of places to go. "If you get me drunk enough it's possible. Anything is possible."

And it was. She wasn't the type to say no to anything whenever she got drunk enough. Grinning up at him, she pressed her head against his arm as she looked up at him. "Sounds great."

	"Hey, maybe if you put a wig on or something, they wouldn't realize it was the girl that's banned." He laughed with her and put up his hands like he needed the defense. "Help, help, I'm being harassed!" Awww, Rose was still so adorable. He smiled down at her on his arm. "We might need a designated walker." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Some are stupid enough to believe that." She couldn't stop the loud laugh at his call for help, grabbing onto his hands. They could be like this so easily. Have a laugh, flirt without the worry of the other wanting more. They both knew that it didn't mean anything. "Depends on who is more responsible and who is less likely to get pissed quickly."

	"People can be amazingly stupid. And if they never met you before anyway, less likely to recognize you." He'd had his share of sneaking back into places he wasn't supposed to be allowed into. He flailed with his hands, trying to 'escape'. "Hey! Does this look like the face of responsibility? But I'm slow to get drunk, so that'd probably make me the walker."

"I like the way you think, Captain." She didn't let up with his hands, giggling as she kept going. They probably looked like idiots but she was far too happy to see him to care if she looked like a big kid. Plus, the more they teased and played, the longer she could put off the chat he clearly wanted about the things that had upset her.

"Worse comes to worse, you can message Sirius. Or the Doctor but he might not come.

"So, pick us a bar or pub or other drinking establishment, and let's start the boozing!" He didn't care either how childish or not they might look; that's usually how he operated, anyway, just be himself and who cares? And it was Rose. Of course he was just going to be himself with Rose.

"I take it you'll have the numbers in your PDA. Why wouldn't the Doctor come for you?"

	"This way," she told him, stopping their playing in favour of walking with their fingers entwined. It was nice. She had missed the ease of their friendship given recent events. She needed a distraction too, a very big one at that, and Jack could easily provide that. "Yeah everything's there. He might come, just with a lot of huffing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-08-22 08:43 am UTC (link)
	"Following your lead." He squeezed her hand and settled down from the silliness. Whatever was going on with Rose, he was glad to be there for her, even though it was in part selfish. He didn't think Rose would mind that. "Ooooh, no, the Doctor huffing at us, gosh, whatever would we do if that happened?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It wouldn't take long for them to get to the pub, she knew that. The one she had picked anyway was only a few minutes away. She wanted to get drunk as fast as possible with whoever she could and Jack was just the first one to say to her. Plus he was fun to be with, so there was little point in saying no. He was one of her best friends.

"I'm on his bad side at the moment, even if he keeps quiet, I'm trying not to push it right now."

	"You on his bad side? That's rare. And I'm guessing that's a story for drinks." When they reached the pub, he opened up the door and walked right ahead of her with a wink. "Age before beauty." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It is," Rose said quietly, managing a smile when he let her in first. Glancing around, she nodded to a quiet table in the corner. "You go grab that. What do you want?"

She was going to go buy the drinks anyway, he might as well get the table for them. She'd rather not be in the thick of it right now, maybe later when she's had a few drinks. For now she wanted a hidden away table.

"I'm good at grabbing that. Get me something strong; I'm not picky right now." Times when he didn't just want to get full of alcohol, he'd cared to choose something good and something tasty. It wasn't one of those times. He let her go so she could order at the bar, and took the table for them. The thought occurred to him that it seemed like anywhere, anytime, the quiet tables were always in corners, unless the place was round. Maybe they should start a movement to create quiet center tables, just to confuse everyone.

[OOC: Pssst... Jack didn't let her go first ;) But since you hadn't caught it, I'm going ahead and finally replying!]

"Sure thing." Vodka it was then. Or something with vodka. Well, to be honest, to start vodka would work. Then they could find anything stronger if things got worse. She asked for two vodka and cokes along with six shots of vodka. They could just start working on getting smashed pretty quickly. Lifting the tray with the drinks, she walked back over to him. "Start with vodka. Then we can see where we end up."

	"Oh, good choice! If we can't have hypervodka, we can be hyper while downing lots of regular vodka. Are we splitting these?" He went ahead and lifted one of the shots from the tray, then tossed it back. "I think the goal is on the floor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blaidd_drwg_ 2011-08-24 01:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course. They can do for now, then I'll get more in a second," she said as she downed a shot pretty quickly. She needed this, she really did. "I don't know if they have anything as strong as hypervodka. Unfortunately." She could really do with something stronger, but she could work up to having more and more vodka or find anything that would hit her more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
