Vromp, Vromp Vromp.

The TARDIS made it's iconic noise as he landed her roughly. Both the Doctor and his companion were sent sprawling onto the floor. After another exhausting day saving the Universe, they needed a break. Barcelona would be brilliant this time of year, especially with the noseless dogs. The Doctor ran passed her, around the console making sure the coordinates and dates were right. He wanted this to be perfect. She deserved it after all he put her through since meeting her.

He had been tracking the Nestene Consciousness. His search led him to the Milky Way galaxy. The Year, two thousand and five. The planet: Earth. The continent: Europe. United Kingdom. London. Henrick's. The shop was the perfect place for the Autons, plenty of mannequins, this was not going to be pretty. He walked into the shop and used the Sonic to open the lift and go down to the basement, unnoticed by the blonde shoppe girl. During his search he found a male human, dead, and the Autons were watching him. Fantastic. He found a place to hide, where the plastic dolls couldn't reach him, and waited for the right moment. Then he heard the lift. No, No! Whoever was in there would be killed too! He could hear her calling for someone, Wilson. Must be the man he had found earlier. He could hear her words becoming more and more frantic, then he heard the sound of moving plastic. He ran towards her voice and grabbed her hand.

"Run."

That was the start, the moment that she had become his companion. Rose Tyler. The Doctor ran passed her and grabbed her hand, pulling her up and marveling how it still fit in his after two regenerations.

"Ready?" he asked after letting go of her hand to fix his bowtie.

"Ready." she flashed him her tongue in teeth smile.

"Allons-y!" he said for her benefit. It just didn't sound right in this voice.

He flung open the door, they were not in Barcelona, they were standing over a pit. He stretched out his arm and was glad to find that hers was heading for him. Their fingers intertwined and they both knew that they were going on a new adventure.

"Geronimo!" he shouted before taking the plunge.
