Summary: Getting it out of the way into the open.
The first few lines came to me, then the next few, then they stopped when they got to the tree. This is my first prose fanfiction with the Doctor's ninth personality, and perhaps my first genuine attempt to capture its voice.

---

"... And this is the TARDIS kitchen, and that's the end of the tour, and this's a package of Jiffy Pop I'll heat up now. Have a seat at the table."

"You haven't given me a bedroom."

"'Do that next. Speaking of beds, it's my own preference when I start up with someone new to go to bed together right off so it can't ruin the friendship later. What's your preference?"

"Assume much?"

"Oi! I didn't ask your preference so's I could ignore it. You can say no."

"Too right."

"Mind you, there are planets where you can't."

"Can't say no?"

"There are planets with social nudity and social sex. They're not always the same ones. They're not always the patriarchal ones. Compulsoriness varies. 'Compulsoriness', is that a word?"

"So this is just a social exercise. It's not that you actually, you know, fancy me."

"'Course I do. You're a very attractive ape."

"Now I know you're not chatting me up."

"I wasn't chatting up the tree on the station but you thought I was. And I for one wouldn't like to think somebody who'd flirt with a whole other biological kingdom didn't fancy me too, alien or not."

"Is the popcorn supposed to bulge that much?"

"Yes it is. In fact it's done. Now to open it what you do is - Aw, now you went and spilt it all over the table!"
