"Bug game?" Rose snorted quietly. What was even the point to managing a normal life with the Doctor around? Even when she'd teased him to pieces about getting a mortgage, it'd just been teasing. She trusted him enough to get someplace with him, but getting picked up and dropped off?? That she knew better than to trust him with. Between the missing year, and even winding up in a universe the TARDIS couldn't literally exist in... yeah.

Rose tensed. It'd be easier if Amy just blurted it out. Building it up like this made her too scared. And maybe she was too much like the Doctor, because she just wanted to run right out of the conversation. Dodge it completely. Leave it for future Rose to deal with. "I'd don one, but I'm not sure buying one is worth the gag joke. How about an easier one, who's Mels?"
