Summary; Rose challenged the Doctor to a drinking contest. This is the contest.

The Doctor had dressed up for tonight, putting on his tuxedo and leaving the coat Janis had given him back at the TARDIS. It was a sort of victory celebration and contest all rolled into one. He was pretty sure that even Rose realized that she was going to lose this contest, but it was something they both needed. To get out of the TARDIS and have a little fun. Besides, this was a safe place to do it, it wasn't like he could drink and travel here. He remembered a time when he had done that and it had ended badly.

Rose's arm was slipped into his as they made their way to the Lux, the Doctor beaming eagerly. As much as he hated being trapped here the Doctor did love the diversity of the City and the chance to see things he never would otherwise. And now that Davros and the Master was here... they were his responsibility and he was needed here to take care of them.

After the week that she had and that curse, this was a well deserved outing, despite the fact that she knew that there was no way she could beat him but she could at least try. Who knows maybe she would have some luck on her side. It was refreshing to see him in that tuxedo, something which she hadn’t seen on him since December. Last December. And then it started to occur to her about how long they had both been here. Had it really been that long? Time had just simply slipped away with everything else that had been going on.

Still, he was here and now things were...She pushed those thoughts away before it could be completed and smiled at him as they made their way inside the Lux. She had decided on wearing her green dress for the evening which was new and comfortable especially for the summer weather.

"So, are you ready to lose Time Lord?" She smirked.

"Oh, I'm always ready, in a hypothetical sense, to lose," he told her, winking at her as they neared Lux. He had to give Rose points for effort and unwavering, if misplaced, confidence in her abilities. Or perhaps it was in spite of her lack of ability.

"But in this case I don't have to worry about it," he added. Perhaps he was a bit smug about it all but he had seen Rose drink before and while she wasn't a light weight she really shouldn't challenge people. "Would you like to dance a bit before we get started? I think we should enjoy ourselves a bit before we get right to things."

"Of course you never have to worry because you’re the Doctor," she teased, nudging his shoulder playfully. Oh she knew that she was more than likely going to lose this bet. He had made it clear before but she wasn’t one to back down. She couldn’t help but be stubborn even if it meant suffering a hangover of doom tomorrow and having to make him breakfast. But it wouldn’t that awful since he did promise to make her that proper English breakfast the following day. It was something to look forward to.

The response to dancing was almost instant with a smile, "Oh, I’d love to."
As they approached the establishment, Rose could faintly hear the music inside. It sounded quite lovely. "Gonna show me some new moves this time?"

"Exactly," he said, grinning broadly as he nodded in agreement, a bit of skip in his step. He was looking forward to dancing, the Lux had fantastic musicians. Boy Blue and as well as the saxophone player that was there lately were incredible.

"Ohhh, I don't know if you're ready to handle some of my moves," he warned her, his expression comically serious. "I've got moves you can't even imagine."

"Oh is that so?" Rose responded with an arched eyebrow very much amused and interested. It was another challenge and probably a bit easier for her than the drinking. She really couldn’t wait to dance with him again. "You know, Rose Tyler just might surprise you," she said with a small grin tugging at her lips, her tone completely confident. "She’s got a few moves you haven’t seen yet, daddy-o." And then she just chuckled. That was a name that she hadn’t called him in ages.

"That's definitely so," he replied with a nod. "And I have no doubt Rose Tyler might surprise me and I'm sure she's got some great moves."

While she may not have 900 years of experience to draw on the Doctor had no doubt that Rose would continue to surprise him with things. He never would have taken her on as his companion if he didn't think that. And you had to admire her attitude.

She withdrew her arm from around his and grabbed his hand lacing their fingers together. "Well come on then, let’s go check out your moves." She grinned giving him a wink, with a skip, as she tugged at his hand leading them towards the entrance.

The Doctor gave her hand a small squeeze as they strolled into the Lux and he gave his name to the maître d' as he leaned in to kiss her softly on the cheek.

"Do you think they know any songs from other planets here?" the Doctor asked. "Some of the moves I know are hard to use to Earth music."

At the kiss, the blonde just beamed and then turned her head to look at him curiously. Well anything was possible right? "I suppose that they should, I mean there's all sorts of people here, yeah? You could always just request it." Though now she wondered if she could keep up and how the music sounded. In due time she'd probably know.

As they were led inside, Rose couldn't help but maintain her smile, "You know, doesn't it feel funny not using psychic paper?"

"Oh I hope so," the Doctor said with an excited look in his eyes. Musical diversity would really spice the City up a bit, not that there was anything wrong with old earth classics. Privately, he wondered if it was possible to hear some of the music from Gallifrey. He doubted it though.

"Well, sometimes I do get invited to important events you know," he said. "Well, by invited I mean told about. Well, by told about I mean over hear about."

"Right. Like our first date ever. You were so invited to that. Face it, you're a professional party crasher," she replied with an amused expression on her face, recalling that one time they had heard about something and decided to see for themselves. Of course this was different since there really wasn’t anything to crash and was a date. But they probably could’ve gotten their meal for free if they had used it here. Drinks too.

"So, what sort of alien music are you in the mood for?"

"Ohhh, professional party crasher, I like that," he said, eyes lighting up. "I'm going to add that to my list of title. Or maybe that ought to be my actual job, what do you think? The Doctor, professional party crasher. Ohhh that sounds good."

He smiled at her and gave her a wink. "Ohhh, I think some music from the aliens who live on the planet that rotate about the sun named Sol will be just fine for tonight."

His first statement drew a laugh out of her. "Hmm, I like it. And his lovely assistant Rose." She couldn’t help but add with a smile before continuing, "But that’d be a mouthful to say yeah. I mean..." She drew up her free hand gesturing to the air. "Presenting Dame Rose and Sir Doctor, Professional Party Crasher, Lord of Time, etc...They’d be there all night with your titles." And then she gave something else a bit of thought. "Though you could add that to your business card. That’d be easier."

She beamed at him, "Excellent choice. I think that’d be lovely."

"I was thinking more about partner, Rose," he said, raising an eyebrow in question at her. "And maybe that is a bit too many titles. I always just thought 'the Doctor' was more than enough for it all."

"Partner?" She couldn't help but repeat with her smile intact. "Really? So like your traveling partner, yeah?" She found herself looping her arm back around his, walking along as a song that she really couldn't identify was ending. "I think the Doctor works best, yeah."

"Well, unless you don't want to," he said, shrugging his shoulders as if it's not a big deal. "Which, is your choice of course. To just say on Earth, leading a mundane life. Never visiting other planets or anything like that..."

Grinning, he took her by the hand and quickly spun her into a dancing position. "You know, if it's all too much for you."

Rose placed her right hand on his shoulder, getting into position all the while shooting him this certain look. As if she could ever settle down after the life that he’s shown her. "What you don’t think I can handle it anymore? Don't think I could ever settle down like that." And then she smiled, "All your fault of course. I plan to see as many stars and planets as possible before I'm done."

"You sure?" he asked her as they began to move across the floor. The look she pinned him with was priceless and only served to encourage him. "I own a house on Earth and everything. You could stay there and I could visit you on weekends if you want. Well, maybe holidays too."

"You own a house on Earth?" There was an incredulous expression to her face before the blonde found herself rolling her eyes at his statement. "Right. And what you expect me to just stay there and just keep on waiting for you, while you run off and get into all sorts of fun messes on your own on weekdays? No chance."

"Why wouldn't I own a house on Earth?" he asked as they moved around the floor. "It's a big house too, a manor, actually. And I suppose you could come along if you wanted, so long as a partnership like that doesn't bother you."

She was about to remind him about his ship but decided against it, going along with it as they kept on moving with the music."A manor?" She couldn’t help but repeat with a grin and an arched eyebrow. "How impressive. I suppose you have a maid taking care of all that for you while you’ve been away? And why would it bother me? Unless of course you wanted to settle down sometimes."

"Well, I had to do something with all that money that I got working for UNIT. And it came in handy a few times. Still probably there, actually," he replied, getting a far away look in his eyes for a moment as he thought back to it.

"And now that you mention it, I don't really know how it gets cleaned..."

She started to wonder just how big this manor was as she stared at him. "I'm sure it's still standing cobwebs and all. Maybe we could visit sometime once we get back from Barcelona, yeah?" She said sounding just a bit hopeful though inwardly she knew that, that wasn't going to happen. Not with their luck and not after what they had discussed.

"Oh it last well into the 22nd Century," he assured her. "Probably even later. At least I hope so, I haven't sold it or anything yet. Of course, I don't really look like I did back them so it's always a bit tricky going back."

The Doctor and spun Rose before pulling her close for a kiss. "We could take a vacation there after our vacation in Barcelona."

"Isn't tricky your middle name? That never has stopped us before," she replied. And really it hadn't. She always did love a challenge.

Rose's lips pressed against his, kissing him back and then she smiled. "That sounds like it would be lovely. A vacation after a vacation." It was a really great idea. Different. "You know when we get there," she stated referring to Barcelona. "We could probably get a house there too, yeah?" And then she bit her lip and looked down for a moment at their feet, "Um, well if you wanted."

"I don't know if I have enough for a house on Barcelona too," he confided. "To be honest I don't really have much money other than the equity of the house. I really only bought the house to get rid of the money."

"Ah, right. Sorry," she replied as her eyes fell back on him. "Almost forgot for a second. It must be the City." She had gotten way too used to things here.

"Well then how about we make the most of the money we have here and now and get to drinking." She gave him a playful smirk, knowing full well that she was going to lose.

"Ohhh, so ready to lose are you?" he asked, smiling back at her as he began to lead her off the dance floor.

"Now what sort of drinks are you wanting?" he asked. "You should start with the good ones because towards the end you won't even be tasting them."

"And who says that I’m going to lose?" she retorted with a smile looking absolutely confident as she walked back with him, giving his hand a squeeze. Though really she knew better. "Being over confident as you are is only going to be your downfall."

Brushing her index finger against her chin, she looked thoughtful for a moment, making a small list in her head. "Margarita, Screwdriver, and maybe a Pina Colada, if you can handle it." And then there was that very confident grin again as her eyes stayed on him. "Do you have any preferences?"

The Doctor just chuckled as he followed her back, shaking his head at her. He had to give her credit for her attitude though. She was doing a good job at bluffing.

"Ohh, those sound just fine to start off. Of course, then we'll have to move on to something like a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster."

At the mention of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, she made a face at him. The first time she had that drink it had taken some getting used to and the hangover the next day had been awful but maybe she really wouldn’t feel it with all those other drinks in her system. Or maybe he’d quit before they’d get to it. Anything was possible. "Fine then. We’ll have one of those too." She wasn’t going to be intimidated one bit.

Reaching the bar area, she pulled back one of the stools and sat down crossing her legs with a grin towards his direction. "Well then, sweetheart, let's get to drinking."

The Doctor quirked an eyebrow at her acceptance of the Gargle Blaster. Chuckling he sat down on a stool next to her and nodded at the bartender to start with the drinks. It didn't really matter what order the drinks came in, Rose was going to lose and she was going to be hung over in the morning.

"Just don't drink so much I have to carry you home," the Doctor said.

Rose rolled her eyes, snorting. “Right, like that’s gonna happen.”

She observed as the bartender went on making the drinks. "And if it did, you probably wouldn’t even be able to carry me back," she teased glancing at the Doctor with a small grin. The bartender turned around and served the couple the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The blonde stared at her tall glass for a moment, not expecting that one so soon but she wasn’t going to let it bother her.
