My latest Who fic...that currently has 11 chapters (If only I knew where it was going, because that would make it easier), I keep reading and rereading it to see if it makes sense so this is all I'm happy with at the moment (I meant to post this a couple of days ago). The next chapter's longer, promise. I think 1500 words is about the right chapter length so that's what i'm trying to stick to. I don't own Doctor Who, I also don't own a cape...should I include a list of all the things I don't have?

Set: Straight after Season 4. Rose and the Doctor takes Donna home, then we get a little angsty (because i haven't really done that before) and then I get to play with Jack and the new team [warning: I watched the first episode of Torchwood and was bitterly disappointed enough never to try again, so my characters and floor plan of T3 are gonna be a little off.] Wow, I've written almost as much here as there is chapter....that's not very fair. But who said I was fair? :)


The rain streaked through her blonde hair, making it look darker as Rose stood on the stoop outside of the Noble's home. She didn't notice as the strands plastered themselves to her face as the wind blew them back at her, her thoughts were with the people inside. The Doctor hadn't asked her to wait outside; she'd just known that he needed some time to explain some things to Donna's family. The front door opened behind her and the Doctor stepped out while Wilfred waited in the doorway, "My dear, I do wished you'd stayed inside." He chastised Rose gently as he took in her appearance. The Doctor frowned disapprovingly down at her and shrugged out of his trench, draping it around her shoulders.

"Hey, a little rain after the day we've all had…" she shook her head, "it's nothing." Wilfred tutted at Rose as the Doctor absentmindedly pulled the trench tight around her and started doing up the buttons; she almost stopped him (she was drowning in coat) but one look at his face and she knew he needed to keep busy. "I'm sorry we couldn't do more." She apologised to Wilfred over the Doctor's shoulder, "I know it's going to be hard for you-"

"No, no, no" He said cutting her off, "You, young lady helped saved the world." He looked down regretfully "Hell, you saved a silly old man from taking on one of those alien pepper pots, you saved me daughter as well and my granddaughter. I hope…I do hope that good things come to you both."

Rose beamed at him and impulsively stepped around the Doctor and his fussing to give Donna's grandfather a big hug, Wilfred patted Rose's back and she stepped back next to the Doctor. She looked up at her best friend and rubbed his arm, he looked so lost; with her other hand she brushed a hand through his thick dark hair upsetting some raindrops that had settled there. "Thank you, we've been through a lot. We're about due for something good." Rose answered taking the Doctor's hand. She turned to the him concerned, "You haven't said a word, are you going to be okay?" she gave a short laugh, "You haven't been this quiet since Jack and I ganged up on you and pushed you in that lake in Centurina." She sniffed "It had piranha in it." She explained looking at Wilfred as she grinned sadly at the happy memory.

"Well, we should be off." The Doctor sighed suddenly and tugged Rose off the stoop.

"Ah…bye." Rose called back over her shoulder. "That was rude." She muttered to the Doctor with a frown.

"I hope we see you two again…under better circumstances of course." Wilfred shouted after the couple as they ran through the rain.

They reached the Tardis and the Doctor pulled out his key, and stared at it unseeingly. The rain traced down their faces in a steady stream, Rose pushed her wet hair back from her face and watched him worriedly before covering the cool hand holding the key with her own warm one. He looked at her and their gazes locked – her sad eyes and his blank ones. He unlocked the door and pulled her in behind him.


Any comments, none? alrighty then...you just save that opinion up and keep it to yourself if you want to. But I had better hear something back by the time I get a couple of chapters in.... Oh, yeah and thanks for reading :)
