The Rule Game- Part One

9- [grabs a towel and runs into the shower]

[They hear a high pitched scream come from the bathroom]

Mickey- [runs out] I could have been naked!

9- But you weren't!

Mickey- but I could have been!

Jack- [laughs]

[Not long later]

9- [walks out of the shower] So, Jack...what should we expect from your insane uncle today?

Ianto- robots?

Jack- Well-

Mickey- Dragons?

Jack- Well I-

9- clowns?

Jack- W- hang on... clowns? That's not even remotely supernatural-

9- Sorry, I thought we were naming freaky stuff

[He shivers, thinking about clowns]

Mickey- Clowns aren't freaky...

9- [laughs] you would know

Mickey- Oh HA HA...very funny...not

Ianto- [tugs on Jack's arm]

Jack- Is everyone ready? We need to leave

Mickey- I'm ready

Ianto- me too [pulls Jack over to the door] let's go

9- actually-

Ianto- [groans]

9- I'll meet you guys at breakfast later

Mickey- why?

Ianto- who cares why, we need to-

Jack- Doctor, is everything okay?

9- eye eye captian, I've just got some errands to run-

Mickey- errands? What errands?

9- none that concern you, bonehead!

[He nocks on Mickey's head]

Mickey- [brushes him off] bone head? That doesn't even make sense-

9- it makes perfect sense, now move-

[He shoves past Mickey and dances out of the room]

Jack- maybe he met a girl, or a boy or-

Ianto- a mannequin

Jack- a ma- [looks at Ianto and laughs] okay let's go

Ianto- finally!

[They hear Rose scream DONNA, from across the hall]

Jack- someone's in trouble...

[They all leave the room]

[The laundry room]

[9 walks into the room and places a white shirt and a red sock into the washing machine]

[He turns it on and waits, humming to himself happily]

[Suddenly, the door opens]

[A familiar face appears]

Rose- hello? Is someone in here?

9- only me!

Rose- [looks up] Doctor!

9- Rosey!

Rose- what are you doing in the laundry room?
