All the Time in the World - The Doctor {2}

School Reunion

Jennifer was stuck working in the kitchen at the school her and The Doctor were in. She put some mashed potatoes on his plate and gave him a nasty glare. The Doctor grinned as he walked away.

Jennifer went to go clean the table The Doctor was eating at. "Two days," Jennifer said. "Sorry, could you just? There's a bit of gravy," The Doctor said. "Two days, we've been here," Jennifer said. "Blame your boyfriend. He's the one who put us onto this. And he was right. Boy in class this morning, got a knowledge way beyond planet Earth," The Doctor said.

"You eating those chips?" Jennifer asked. She was starving from working in the kitchen. "Yeah, they're a bit different," The Doctor said. "I think they're amazing. Wish I had school dinners like this," Jennifer said. "It's very well behaved, this place," The Doctor said. Jennifer nodded. "I thought there'd be happy slapping hoodies. Happy slapping hoodies with ASBOs. Happy slapping hoodies with ASBOs and ringtones. Huh? Huh? Oh, yeah. Don't tell me I don't fit in," The Doctor said with a smile.

Jennifer smiled. "I like making soufflé. I should make some. It's my favorites," She said. "Soufflé? I would like soufflé," The Doctor said. Jennifer giggled a little and The Doctor smiled. The head lady came over. "You are not permitted to leave your station during a sitting," She said. "I was just talking to --" Jennifer said. "Her husband. Hello," The Doctor said with a smile.

"He doesn't like the chips," Jennifer said. "The menu has been specifically designed by the headmaster to improve concentration and performance. Now, get back to work," The head lady, Jackson said and she walked away. "I hate her. Never thought I'd be a dinner lady. I'm just thankful Rose offered to work with me," Jennifer said. "When you get back there, I'll have the soufflé," The Doctor said. "I'm so going to kill you," Jennifer said with a smirk. She got up. Before she could walk away, The Doctor grabbed her hand. "What? I don't get a kiss from my wife?" The Doctor asked. Jennifer kissed his cheek. "There, happy?" Jennifer asked as she walked back to the kitchen.

Jennifer and Rose were drying up dishes, "I hate it here," Jennifer said. "It's not so bad after two days," Rose said. Jennifer looked at her sister with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, you're right. I hate it too," Rose said. Jennifer nodded and they both giggled a little.

Jennifer looked up and noticed other dinner ladies rolling in a giant barrel of something. "Rose, look up," Jennifer said. "What is it?" Rose asked. "Doesn't that look suspicious to you? The giant barrel," Jennifer said. "It is suspicious," Rose said. Jennifer's phone rang and she answered it.

"What you got?" Jennifer asked. "Confirmation. I just got into army records. Three months ago, massive UFO activity. They logged over forty sightings. Lights in the sky, all of that. I can't get any photos, because then it gets all classified and secret. Keeps locking me out," Mickey's voice said. "Tell you what, though, three months ago, turns out all the kitchen staff were replaced. And this lot are weird," Jennifer said. 

"You're telling me," Rose said. "See? There's definitely something going on. I was right to call you home," Mickey's voice said. "I thought maybe you called me home just, well, just to call me home," Jennifer said. "Do you think I'd just invent an emergency?" Mickey's voice asked.

"You could've done," Jennifer said. "That's the last thing I'd do because every time I see you an emergency just gets in the way," Mickey's voice said. The barrel the dinner ladies were rolling in fell over. The liquid spilled on one of the dinner ladies and she started screaming. "I've got to go," Jennifer said and she hung up.

Jennifer grabbed Rose's hand and they went over to the other dinner ladies. They went to another room before Jennifer or Rose could talk to them. Jennifer dialed a number. Jackson came out of the room. "What're you doing?" She asked. "Calling an ambulance," Jennifer said. "No need. She's quite all right," Jackson said.
