(Scarlet's POV)
"Don't take the Doctor personally. He always comes across as unpleasant." Jack said, leaning agains the inside of the TARDIS with me.
"The Doctor doesn't offed me." I said, too quickly.
"Uh huh. Look, I know future you. And every time you and him get into an argument- which is often- you both mope around until it's situated. And both of you are too stubborn to apologize." I started to say something when the TARDIS lurched and threw me into the pillar, causing me to cry out softly.
"Tell me before you take off!" I snapped. Jack let out a low whistle.
"And let the moping commence." I rolled my eyes.
"Oh, please. I am not a moper." He noticed something.
"Jack, what regeneration is the Doctor on?" I questioned.
"This is his eleventh." Jack answered. I nodded.
"And you?" He asked. I swallowed.
"My seventh." I lied through my teeth. He nodded, believing me. Of course he would. He's just a time agent.
"Do I need to warn you when we land as well?" The Doctor called mockingly.
"I should kill you. See how handsome twelve would be!" I shouted. He chuckled slightly.
"Oh, I'm as attractive as it gets. See my bow tie?" Both Jack and I laughed.
"Of course, Doctor.""Well I better be off, then. I'll be seeing you around." Jack promised, hugging me goodbye.
"I suppose you know more than I do." I smiled at him, ignoring the Doctor as he plundered loudly through the TARDIS.
"And thanks for saving us." I added. He grinned.
"Any time for a beautiful immortal like myself." I let out a laugh. "See you, Scarlet." He pressed the button on his Vortex Manipulator and vanished.
"What's the matter with you?" I asked the Doctor.
"Me? I'm just peachy. Lovely." He muttered.
"I take it you don't like Jack very well." I deducted. He let out a strange sound in the back of his throat.
"It's not Jack. It's just- nothing." I reached out and took his hand, stilling him. His green eyes finally met mine.
"Tell me. We've got to trust each other." I said.
"You don't remember me. I can see it in your eyes." He answered.
"That's not fair. You can't get mad at me for that." I retorted. He laughed a little.
"I'm not mad. I just... Miss you." He said finally.
"What do you miss? Tell me and I'll do it." I begged him. His eyes softened.
"It's not that easy. I can't ask you." After a moment of hazy thinking I kissed him, probably startling him.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. I felt caught up in a sudden wave of emotion.
The last two Time Lords...
Kissing in the middle of the TARDIS.
"How old are you?" I found the need to ask.
"972." He answered.
"My earth mum warned me about meeting men who looked younger than they were." I giggled.
"And how old are you?" He asked.
"Oh, Doctor. You never ask a lady's age. Especially not a Time Lady." I winked. "But, if you must know, 709." He let out a whistle.
"That's a pretty big gap in human years." He smiled against me. I laughed.
"Good thing neither of us are human." He laughed a little, his arms around my waist.
"Oh, the things they'd say about us."
