If Rose was ever told about the Doctor's grades at the Academy, she would laugh too. None of her would have been all that surprised either. The amount of times that the Doctor actually seemed to know what was going on and what they were doing, Rose could probably count on one hand.
She beamed instantly at Romana's overture of friendship and hand on shoulder, even if the TimeLady had mostly learned from the Doctor how to act and react to things, she was already leagues better than even Fluffy who was prone to licking things and freaking humans out, or 9 who insulted all species when frustrated. Rose instantly ran with her instincts and decided that Romana was definitely a friend forever, no matter what the Doctors or Lady Me told her. -- Though it should be noted, Rose was not always the greatest judge of character, having picked up Jack as a conman, ran off with the Doctor himself, and felt sympathy for Davros and daleks and still wanted to befriend the Master.
She laughed at the comment, truly heartily giggling, and nodding her head enthusiastically. "That's an understatement!" SO MUCH GIGGLES. "First time the Doctor took me back home to my Mum? We wound up a year late, I argue, because the TARDIS knew we needed to stick around and gave us just enough time ta do it, but -- OH! Right!" Rose slapped herself in the forehead. "That's the other thing! Lady Me absolutely hates me! She--"
Oh wow, Rose was definitely sure the Doctor in the future had broken all sorts of TimeLord laws in bringing Lady Me back to life. Especially since his third life had been a forced regeneration and exiled to Earth on account of his 'meddling.' She chewed her bottom lip in thought, and winced. Might as well go for broke. If Romana was going to do something on account of it, she'd find out at some point, it was much too difficult to hide unlike the TimeWar. "That's the stupid thing the Doctor did." Rose giggled again and held up a finger, rolling her eyes, "Well, one of. His future self, beyond 10, made Lady Me immortal. I can't exactly read him the riot act over that though, because," Rose gestured feebly and wince, "I might'a done similar to Jack on accident. Which is where he got the idea."
She sucked in both lips, her expression as childish as to match any of the Doctor's. Even the 4th's most exaggerated reactions. "Don't ask," Rose laughed and shook her head, rubbing her forehead. "But Lady Me was with my Mum during the year I was missing and knows my ex-boyfriend, and about Jack, and sometimes I purposely needle her and call her by her given name which she hates." Rose held up both hands, "So she really hates me. That aside though..."
Another laugh. This is why Four and Rose couldn't run around Nautilus together without getting distracted by... everything. They spent all their time together joking and being ridiculous. Good luck Romana.
"So the Doctor's like, "'ere we go! Returned 12 hours later, safe and sound!" an' I go upstairs to my Mum's flat and I'm all, "I'm home! Spent the night at a friend's, no biggie!" and she breaks a dish and starts sobbing and crying, and he runs up right after me holding a Missing poster of my face, and he's like, "So sorry, 12 months not hours."" Rose grinned cheekily and shook her head. "So then my Mum is all freaked out, and thinks he's some sort of pervert from the internet." Be fair, first time meeting the Doctor, that's an easy impression to get. "And he's like "I am a real Doctor!" and she slapped him!" Rose practically roared with laughter. It still tickled her to no end.
She waved a hand. "So the reason the TARDIS -- least I think it's the TARDIS, not just his bad drivin' -- Didja knows there's a Manual for the TARDIS?! I was so mad!" A headshake, "Anyway, so I think she got us back so late an' put him and my Mum, an' Lady Me, and Mickey -- that's my ex-boyfriend, my Mom had him arrested and investigated for my murder four times that year--" If you got the impression that Rose and the Doctor together never shut up and kept babbling back and forth, you'd be very much correct, Romana. "Was because this family called the Slitheen were fakin' the first alien crash landin' ta Earth. They were going ta instigate World War Three and sell off the nuclear slag of Earth for cheap recession fuel. Later on, Blon Fel-Fotch from the family escaped and was gonna blow up the Earth from Cardiff to try to use a space surfboard to get out, and Jack stopped her, and that is how we all got to go to--" DEEP BREATH. "Raxacoricofalltrickle-down-economics." She had it once. She will get it again. Someday.
