Colour Co-ordinates {9/Rose, G}
A/N: An unofficial response to picture 6, challenge 49 over at Then There's Us
They're taking a pit stop on some-planet-or-other (the Doctor's feeling offended because even he can't pronounce it correctly according to the locals - he's strenuously denying that that's any sort of failure on his part and insists that that particular local was just taking the piss) and all in all it's been a bit of a day, and Rose will be bloody glad when the translation circuit's fixed on the TARDIS.
Because, you know, the Doctor can do huffy like no-one else she knows. He's not speaking to her now, and she can't remember if it's because she ate the last of the cereal for breakfast again or because she said something derogatory about his map-reading skills or because she was rude about his choice of sweater today or if he's just got a calendar somewhere marked with 'Huffy Days' and 'Happy Days.' And she's hoping that if he can go back to confidently insulting the locals he'll be a bit chirpier.
So they're sat at a little café on some excitingly uncomfortable seats, and she's eating a sort-of cake thing made with sort-of apples and he's glaring at some pamphlet so hard his eyebrows are practically making a great big X across his nose, and her sort-of-not cake is really quite nice but she's annoyed because he's annoyed and she can't enjoy it as much as she'd like, and she's got the sneaky feeling that he's not reading that pamphlet very well and suspects that's he's only annoyed because she's annoyed that he was annoyed in the first place.
Basically, when a group of aliens ride past on unicycles carefully chosen to match their skin colour, they're both glad to have an excuse to burst into riotous laughter; it's worth the scandalised stares of the other patrons and the haughty glares of the offended aliens. They turn to look at each other while laughing, and each carefully kicks the other beneath the table. She puts down her fork, and he puts down his pamphlet and they take hands and run off, and they haven't paid their bill, so they run a bit faster.
