"Have you seen Jimmy?" she asked, craning to look over Ian's shoulder.

Ian nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh Rose, he's not here. He left."

Rose furrowed her brow, pursed her lips and nodded before blowing air through her lips. She barked a laugh and then sat down, defeated, on rickety three-legged stool. "Well, he made good on his promise then. Said if I was even a minute late he was gonna take off without me. Do you think you could give me a lift? He said he couldn't be late to that-"

"Rose, I don't think you understand." Ian pulled up another stool and sat down. "He left with someone. A blonde."

"Oh. Well, that's nothing new," she waved her hand blithely. "Women are always throwing themselves at him. He humors 'em, but then he comes back to me, apologizes and we move on." She laughed, but there was a layer of hurt under her words.

"And that's okay with you?" asked Ian, confused.

"No. Not really," Rose said quietly»

"Gallifrey!" John shouted at the stage, rolling his eyes.

"My mistake; Gallifrey. We'll give them a couple of minutes to set up, and then we'll have our last contestant!" Doctor Love concluded.

It didn't take the band long to finish setting up. Just before they were ready to go on, they stood together in a circle, arms around one another.

"This is it, lads," Harold said. "Might just be our ticket out of that smelly garage."

"Oi, I like the way it smells," Johnny bit back.

"Just stay together and trust one another," John said, eyeing Rose. "We've got our new secret weapon to bring us home."

"No matter what happens," Ian said, "It's always a pleasure to play with you all."

"Oh, that's just disgusting," Harold snorted, pulling out of the hug. "Screw this group love kumbaya stuff and let's rock the hell out of this place!" He bounded to his spot on the drums and began counting down the beat to the first song with his sticks.»

"Oh, I've never tried that. Sounds good," she declared enthusiastically. Jimmy grabbed the plate from her hands and tossed it aside.

"I don't think so, babe. You're lookin' a little thick around the middle. Can't have you gettin' fat, it's bad for my image," he said and looked at her pointedly.

At first Rose looked ready to slap him but then she looked down at herself unsure.

Ian turned a glare on Jimmy, his eyes black with anger. "I think Rose looks beautiful the way she is and if she wants a slice a pizza she should have it."

"It's all right," Rose said quickly sensing the tension. "I'm not real hungry anyway." Jimmy smirked at this and looked triumphantly at Ian. Ian and everyone else in the room looked at Rose who sat by Jimmy quietly sipping her diet soda. Ian's eyes met Johnny's and an understanding was reached between them. They would all be keeping an eye on Rose.»

"I thought I saw a blonde hanging onto him after the show. Was she that that mangy looking bint with the slag tag that said 'Bite Me'?" asked Johnny, crossing his arms angrily.

Ian cringed and nodded.

Rose frowned, trying hard to look more irritated than hurt. "That would be Cassandra, then," she muttered under her breath. "She's been trying to bag Jimmy for a while now. Well I hope he has his fun. Everyone's had a chance to jump on that trampoline."

"Well, from where I'm sitting, that ain't right," Johnny added. "Come on then. Up with you Rose Tyler. We're gonna take you out. Hey John Smith, get over here!" he hollered at the floppy-haired fellow, who was polishing his penny whistle. "I've decided we are going to take Rose here out for some fun, and try and convince her to end it with Stones."

Rose rolled her eyes at Johnny, and shook her head, tossing her bleach blonde braid over a shoulder.

The tweed-wearing musician spun on his heel and loped over to his bandmates. "I was going to go home and make custard."

"Custard schmustard," Johnny chided.»

"Two Timers?" John remarked. "Makes us sound we're all cheaters or philanders or something equally awful."

Jimmy grinned at them and he winked. "Oh come on John! We all do it, you know play around. We're musicians, it's our thing to always be on the lookout for the next muse and it's not like there's a lack of willing bodies out there." He paused and looked at the angry expressions of the band. "Well, at least not for me but who knows. Stick with me and you all might get lucky."

It took all of Ian's self-control not to walk over and punch Jimmy in the face. Johnny didn't have that self-control and just as he was walking over, Rose and Donna walked back. "You're lucky Stones," he said in a threatening manner.

Stones just scoffed. "Yeah, right."»

As the Master took a step toward him as if he was going to shove the drumsticks down Jimmy's throat, Ian stepped in between them. "Oh the Master's our demented drummer. You know how mad percussionists are. Always on about destruction and mayhem. Come on Master, I think the pizza's here and you look a bit…peaked," he said as he guided the Master away.

The Master looked at Ian with an evil smirk. "I love it when you say my name," he drawled as he walked away shooting a dangerous look over his shoulder at Jimmy.»

"Hey," Ian's voice whispered in her ear. "You all right?"

She turned and found herself entirely too close to his lips. She couldn't stop looking at them, entranced by their shape and wondering if they were as soft as they looked.

Ian had said something. Asked her a question; was she all right. "Yeah," she managed at last. "'M fine."

"You want somebody to walk you home?" he asked, offering her his hand.

She hesitated only a moment before clasping his hand and letting him lead her out into the night.»
