The Doctor raked his hands through his messier-than-usual hair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do I always<\/i>\u00a0let you talk me into this?\u201d he groaned, casting a scathing look at the handsome man perched on the stool to his right.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At least, it was meant to be scathing: from the wide, toothy grin that he received in return, however, it seemed to have quite failed to do anything but amuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, come on, Doctor,\u201d Jack replied gallantly,\u00a0\u201cI hardly dragged you here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou called me up and said it was an\u00a0emergency<\/i>,\u201d the Doctor accused.<\/p>\n

\u201cYada yada, false pretenses, but you can\u2019t pretend you haven\u2019t been having a good time,\u201d <\/p>\n

Jack winked suggestively. \u201cI had no idea you were such an\u2026 energetic dancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Doctor felt his cheeks burn pink.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides,\u201d Jack continued,\u00a0\u201cit was<\/i>\u00a0an emergency. You\u2019ve been flying around by yourself for far too long. There\u2019s only so long a man can keep up a pity party that intense before he drives himself batty. So really, I did you a favor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Doctor was about to retort that Jack\u2019s\u00a0\u201cfavors\u201d were rarely selfless when the bartender loomed up over them from the opposite side of the gleaming metal bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompliments of the lifeform at table three,\u201d he grunted, sliding a thin, transluscent flute of purple liquer at the Doctor with one of his pale tentacles.<\/p>\n

Jack clapped the Doctor heartily on the back, nearly making him spill the drink down his front.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook\u2019ee there, old man,\u201d he hooted,\u00a0\u201cI always knew you were a charmer!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Doctor considered flashing a rude hand sign he\u2019d picked up from Rose\u2019s mates at the chip shop, but he reconsidered when his eyes fell on the smiling Bolian at table three. Lifting his glass, the Doctor toasted silently and took an appreciative sip, closing his eyes to savor the flavor redolent of caramel and stardust.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t look now, Doc,\u201d Jack whispered,\u00a0\u201cbut I think your friend is coming this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure enough, the blue-skinned creature was sauntering their way. Without a word, she (the low-cut, gold dress left no question that it was, in fact, a she<\/i>) had plucked the Doctor from his barstool and spun him out onto the dance floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite having numerous helpless looks cast his way accompanied by silently-mouthed pleas for assistance, Jack leaned back against the bar and contented himself to watch his friend put through his paces to the sounds of a Silurian celestial funk band.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
