Rose to the rescue

“Silver forests and red fields..” Rose murmured, a smile on her face.  It had been a long time since she had seen the stars, felt her feet on the soil of another planet.  “Yeah, I think I’d like that.”  She confessed and closed her eyes, breathing in the scent that was still uniquely the Doctor.  It was softer now, but nonetheless still as soothing and comforting to Rose as it always had been.

She grinned and bit her lip, the Doctor wanted her to travel in the TARDIS again, it was truly something she had never considered.  “Yeah, that does have a good ring to it, The Doctor and Rose Tyler, in the TARDIS.” 

“Remember when I promised you forever?”  She asked suddenly, lifting her head slightly to look at the Doctor.  “I don’t even remember the name of that planet, just remember we were on the top of that mountain, staring out at the red rocks, what looked to be prehistoric creatures flying around above us and I promised you that I would stay with you forever…I wanted to so badly then..and that hasn’t changed.”

The doctor wrapped her arms around her waist and cuddled her close. This was nice… She had missed this… quite a bit.

“I’m glad too, I have missed your hugs..” Rose confessed quietly and smiled.  When she finally had her fill of hugging the Doctor she giggled.  “Yeah, her flower bed, you’ll be hearing about it later I’m sure.”  

Rose stood up and started packing the tea cups and saucers on the tray.  “I’m going to go rinse these out and then we can head back to mine..”  She stopped halfway to the kitchen.  “I’m glad you’re here Doctor..”

“I have missed your hugs as well.“ The Doctor said. She really had. In her mind, Rose really did give the best hugs. She listened to her mention about what she said about the flower bed. “Mmm, I am sure I will.“ She said.

Rose pulled away with an eyebrow arched.  “You mean you weren’t a hugger?  You’ve been a hugger with the two incarnations that I knew.”  She didn’t wait for an answer, just hugged the Doctor again.  

“Whenever you’re ready, we can get you back to my place and you can recover there..or in the TARDIS, I’m sure Sarah Jane won’t mind you being in her flower bed.”  

“I was a hugger in my eleventh incarnation as well.“ The Doctor told her. “Seems like my last one wasn’t.“ She said. “It just seemed like…I don’t know. Like I was uncomfortable when people hugged me. I’m glad to be back to loving the hugs now.“

“Silver forests and red fields..” Rose murmured, a smile on her face.  It had been a long time since she had seen the stars, felt her feet on the soil of another planet.  “Yeah, I think I’d like that.”  She confessed and closed her eyes, breathing in the scent that was still uniquely the Doctor.  It was softer now, but nonetheless still as soothing and comforting to Rose as it always had been.

The doctor wrapped her arms around her waist and cuddled her close. This was nice… She had missed this… quite a bit.

A twig was held in the Doctor’s cold, bony hands, held out in front of him on display. Slowly but with clear intention, he snapped the twig, and smiled at the wood splintering. 

“That’s a human life. That’s what I could do.” 

“Just because something is broken doesn’t mean it’s useless.” She said softly.  “You can now take those two twigs and use them to start a fire or roast marshmallows..”  

ANGST STARTER SENTENCES

Rose blinked several times.  “Blimey you’ve been busy..” She whispered and shook her head.  “Gallifrey is still around?  But..but I thought you were the last, that you destroyed it?  You told me that on our first date..”  Rose smiled fondly, remembering big ears and leather.  “Bit skewed your sense of romance then yeah?  First date, take me to see the Earth burn alive..then make me pay for chips..”  

The Doctor hadn’t been alone, which was good, great even.  They were rubbish at alone, regardless of what face that they have.  “Wait..back up, Jack, our Jack is the Face of Boe?  The same Face of Boe we met on Platform One?” She asked and shivered.  “How did he end up just a big old..head?”

There would be time later for the Doctor to tell Rose of all her brilliant adventures, which Rose knew that they would be.  They would be heartwrenching and beautiful. For now Rose was content to just be here, with the Doctor knowing that the woman was going to help her.  

“So, this other Time Lady Missy..used to be the Master..”  She paused and shook her head.  “I’ve heard a couple of stories about him..James told me some about growing up, the academy and how you guys were the best of friends.”

The doctor gave a sheepish smile. She never was good with romance in any of her regenerations.

“Gallifrey was saved… by me, myself and I… quite literally, My 10th, 11th and War self.. all of my regenerations got together, with their Tardises, did a thing and put the planet a second out of sink with the rest of the world… afterwards, my War self regenerated into old big ears when he left, but he couldn’t remember that he saved Gallifrey because of there was 3 of us being there… And it all took place in a Dusty old barn.”

The question about Jack just made her shrug. “Immortality is a strange thing… you never know what it’s going to do to you.”

“Oh? Did he tell you that The Master was my first Man-Crush? We were going to travel the stars together… we thought we were the same, only to find out, when we grew up, that we were different.” She hummed softly and pulled Rose closer, wrapping her arms around the woman.

She giggled at his confession about the Master.  “Nope, didn’t know that, though it’s not surprising, heard he, or she now I suppose, had an ego and a gob to match your own, only natural you’d crush on someone like that.”  Rose settled down into the couch and laid her head on the Doctor’s shoulder.  They had spent many evenings like this, drifting in the vortex, sitting on a couch watching Harry Potter and various Disney movies. 

The doctor retaliated to her teasing my sticking her tongue out at her.

“Don't worry, I wouldn't let anything happen to you, Plus I’m a War Hero there now… Or I was last time I went… and we would just go to the market in the Citadel, perhaps have a wander through the Silver forests and the red fields.”

She grinned and bit her lip, the Doctor wanted her to travel in the TARDIS again, it was truly something she had never considered.  “Yeah, that does have a good ring to it, The Doctor and Rose Tyler, in the TARDIS.” 

Rose breathed a sigh of relief, she didn’t make the Doctor ill.  The Doctor wanted her to go with her because she was Rose Tyler and the Doctor was and forever would be the Doctor.  The Doctor and Rose Tyler belonged together, in the TARDIS.  

“If you mean it, of course I will go with you.  I have nothing here but friends..and we can visit yeah?” She asked, her grin getting wider by the second.  

The Doctor kept her eyes on her. She knew that Rose could easily just turn her down and decide to stay on Earth. She was was ready for her to say no. For her to say that she didn’t want to go travelling with her.

She had just stepped into her bedroom when the whirling, groaning started, she ducked back out into the living room and watched as the TARDIS disappeared.  She knew it did that thanks to the memories he had given her..but seeing it was something else. 

Rose blinked several times.  “Blimey you’ve been busy..” She whispered and shook her head.  “Gallifrey is still around?  But..but I thought you were the last, that you destroyed it?  You told me that on our first date..”  Rose smiled fondly, remembering big ears and leather.  “Bit skewed your sense of romance then yeah?  First date, take me to see the Earth burn alive..then make me pay for chips..”
