[Roald Dahl Plass]
Mickey exits the train at Cardiff Central station and travels to the newly revamped Oval Basin. There, in front of the towering water structure, stands the TARDIS. He gives the door a firm knock, and Jack opens it.
"Who the hell are you?" Jack asks, eyeing the young man.
Mickey scoffs, "What do you mean? Who the hell am I? Who the hell are you?"
"Captain Jack Harkness," he glares at him and goes to shut the door, "Whatever you're selling, we're not buying."
"Get out of my way!" Mickey shouts and pushes his way in.
[TARDIS - Console Room]
"Don't tell me. This must be Mickey," Jack scoffs.
"Jack, be nice," the Alchemist calls out.
The Doctor is perched on a ladder, working on the TARDIS console, while the Alchemist stands below, ensuring the ladder remains stable. He's already gone tumbling down twice before she intervened.
The Doctor grins, "Here comes trouble! How're you doing, Ricky boy?"
Mickey snaps, "It's Mickey!"
"Why are you calling him 'Ricky' when his name is 'Mickey?' You know we're going to meet a Ricky now, and you'll have to call him Mickey," the Time Lady informs her Bondmate, who frowns in thought.
"Don't listen to him; he's winding you up," Rose says, rolling her eyes.
"You look fantastic," Mickey grins.
Rose and Mickey embrace warmly. The Time Lady purses her lips at the oncoming scents. Mickey seems alright, though a hint of jealousy lingers in the air.
Jack pouts, looking between the couples, "Aw, sweet, look at these two. How come I never get any of that?"
"Buy us a drink first," the Doctor quips.
"Preferably a milkshake," the Alchemist grumbles.
Jack scoffs playfully, rolling his eyes, "You're such hard work."
The Doctor grins, "But worth it."
"He truly is. Can confirm," the Alchemist winks, earning a horrified look from the Doctor and a cackle from Jack.
Rose ignores the conversation, but the Time Lady can smell her spike in jealousy, and she rolls her eyes.
"Did you manage to find it?" Rose asks Mickey.
He nods, "There you go."
Mickey hands over Rose's passport and she jumps gleefully, pocketing it.
"I can go anywhere now," she grins.
The Doctor rolls his eyes, "I told you... You don't need a passport."
"It's all very well going to Platform One and Justicia and the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon, but what if we end up in Brazil? I might need it. You see, I'm prepared for anything."
The Alchemist winces, realizing she could use some nose plugs.
"Sounds like you're staying, then," Mickey frowns, "So, what're you doing in Cardiff? And who the hell's Jumping Jack Flash?" he gestures to the other three, "I mean, I don't mind you hanging out with big-ears up there or even the ginger in the flight outfit."
"Oi!" the Doctor shouts, offended for both of them.
"I love his ears, and what's wrong with my jacket!?" the Alchemist complains.
