Hello!: Kate Nash's songs really remind of Doctor Who for some reason (I'm pretty sure it's the accent), so I figured, what with Rose's soon-to-be return and all, if I wanted to write a fic about how she got back, I'd better get cracking. Just in the nick of time:). I might do a series of songfics to Kate Nash's and other people's music.

Disclaimer: I'm not Kate Nash, and I only own Doctor Who in parallel universes (i.e my dreams)

He's so skinny. And tall. And it's not one of those skinny-and-tall-but-suits-him kind of skinny and tall. It's a really-awkward-gangly-skinny-and-tall kind of skinny and tall. And he does so much running, and his arms and legs are flying everywhere, but he somehow coordinates them all to get him where he needs to go. Which is, in most cases as far away as possible from whatever we're dealing with at the time. I used to wonder if I'd ever get used to it. Because before, when he was him, he could just grab my hand and run without having to worry about kicking me.

Skeleton you are my friend,

But you are made of bone

And you have got no flesh and blood running through

you to help you take the bone

Skeleton we have been friends for years

And you have seen me through some trials and tribulations

And some tears

But everybody thinks I'm weird

"Rose, darling, breakfast!" Mum knows I'm miserable, but she still doesn't quite get the whole of it. And Mickey's just happy that I'm running off without warning anymore. Pete's still Dad, but it's different. I mean, I'm sure he'd still run in front of a car for me, but it's like, I saw him die. Twice! And now he's just sitting at the kitchen table, drinking his coffee and reading the paper.

And I should have known

That it wouldn't be long

Until you

You've got me standing in an

Awkward position

With un-wanted attention

And a need for explanation

And it's

Not that I'm letting go of you

But I dunno what to do

The people at Torchwood are really nice about it all. I mean, they are still on the lookout for him, since he saved their world twice. It's not like Torchwood at home, though, they're not trying to kill him or anything. He just...sort of comes in handy when aliens are invading via Wales.It's amazing that this world has a Rift too, because he closed up the Void, so you'd think there'd be no Rift. But apparently, according to the head of Torchwood 3 - the one in Wales - the Rift and the Void are two completely different things. Actually, Ianto - the head of Torchwood 3 - is the one who's been the most understanding about this whole thing. They say his boyfriend got turned into a Cyberman when the Doctor and Mickey and me crash landed here the first time. We've both lost people to the Cybermen, in different ways, yeah, but it's still loss.

Skeleton we are so close

But you have got no body so why do you insist on wearing clothes?

Skeleton when we were young

It was easy

Even though the other kids

They would tease me

I was only 7 I had you

but now I'm 22

I still miss the Doctor and Jack and my friends back home, both on and off of Earth. I miss the Face of Boe, which is sort of weird, because I've only really met him once, unless you count being in the same room as him trying to survive a homicidal trampoline - emphasis on the tramp. And I don't, not really. He just was...so familiar. I wonder if the Doctor ever found out the Big Secret.

And now it's different

When I take you out

And you

You've got me standing in an

Awkward position

With un-wanted attention

And a need for explanation

And it's

Not that I'm letting go of you

But I dunno what to do

But this world has its issues, too. The main one being the Rift. Nobody knows where all the aliens and monsters are coming from. Well, they do, but apparently it's never been this active before. Something big's happening, Ianto says, but I think he's just paranoid. Paranoid, but nice. He was the one who noticed that I hadn't aged a day after five years. I told him about looking in the Heart of the TARDIS, and he figures that she must have left a bit of herself inside me. Just in case.

And sometimes,

At night,

I dream of the most terrible things,

I take a hammer and I climb out of bed

And I raise it high and I smash your head

Fibular and tubular and ribs and cages

To in fact

While I'm here

I'll smash the whole of you

That's another thing. Nothing's right here. Right is left and left is right, and up is down and down is up. And it's just...wrong. And the Prime Minister's a complete nutter. Tried to "introduce" aliens to Earth. The number people we had to retcon, you wouldn't believe. Luckily, people just thought it was the stress of the job, and everything sort of settled down. And nobody died. But how could he just leave me here?! I still visit the Room, and I can tell when he's visiting the Room on his side, and he's just not anymore.

But...Skeleton you are my friend

And I could never bring your life to an end

Yeah skeleton you are, you are my friend

And I will be there for you until the end

Mum and Dad and Mickey and Jake and Ianto think maybe it's time for me to move on. Mickey's got a new girlfriend, Ianto and Jake are seeing eachother, and Mum and Dad are Mum and Dad again. But I just can't let go. I've got to hang on to him, because if I let go of him, it feels like my world will fall apart.And I can't let that happen. I've got enough things to keep together. My life is the least of my worries right now. Especially since the Rift is acting up again.

And even though

When I take you out

You've got me

You've got me standing in an

Awkward position

With un-wanted attention

And a need for explanation

I could, I could never let you go

And that is all I know

And that is all I know

And that is all I, that is all I know

And that is all I know

The TARDIS needed fueling, so he went to Cardiff, stopping by Torchwood for a bit. It was only Jack that was there. Which was fine by him. Martha and Donna had gone home, and he was waiting for Professor Riversong to show up, because it was only logical that she would be next. Of course, he was in no hurry to find her. He and Jack were reminiscing when it happened. The Rift opened up, and it wasn't just a little crack, it was a gaping hole. On the one hand, the TARDIS would definitely be re-fueled faster. On the other hand, he might be in Cardiff a while. But when they finally got out (there really needed to be a secret tunnel or something), there were no monsters, no aliens, no creatures bent on destroying Earth. And Jack said the Rift had closed up again. There was nothing and nobody there...except Rose.
