"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Donna asked, a smile slowly spreading on her face as she looked over the Doctor's shoulder.

He turned his head and saw the one thing he thought he'd never see again. His expression changed from the sheer panic of moments ago into a nervous smile, and then to a positively ecstatic grin.

And then he was running, and she was too. His trusty Converses hurled him towards her, her pace was slightly slowed by the massive gun she was carrying. Normally, the Doctor didn't like guns, but the world was more dangerous than ever, and if she was keeping herself safe, then good.

As they got closer, she slowed and tossed the gun behind her back, before launching herself at the Doctor. He caught her midair and she clung on, wrapping her legs around his waist like a monkey, never letting go.

For a few seconds they stayed like that, her burying her face in his neck, him burying his in her hair, both breathing in a scent that they had missed so sorely. They then lifted their heads to look at each others' faces, their noses just inches apart.

"Hello," grinned the Doctor.

"Hello," she said, bringing up memories of the Doctor's first trip in his tenth body.

"Oh my Rose," he smiled, "you always come back". With that, he leaned down, touching his lips to Rose's. She closed her eyes, leaning in, kissing the Doctor back. Their contact grew more fevered as the Doctor ran his tongue along Rose's teeth, seeking entrance. She obliged, desperate for her Time Lord, as they hungrily explored each other's mouths. Gasping for air, neither could quench the fire that seemed to ripple across their skin where it made contact. The Doctor, deciding that he should have let this happen long ago, began to move with Rose towards the TARDIS, knowing that neither of them would want to stop until they were both satisfied. Rose realised what he was trying to do, and unhooked her legs from his waist, her lips never leaving his. They both started blindly stumbling towards the TARDIS, when...

BANG!

Rose sprung backwards, scrambling for her alien gun, while the Doctor spun around. There, in the side street stood the smouldering wreck of what use to be a Dalek. Regaining her feet, Rose pointed her gun over the Dalek casing, while the Doctor cleared away the smoke with the sonic. Donna reached them, out of breath, as they were greeted by a familiar American accent.

"Some hello. I just saved your skinny little arses while you were too busy snogging to notice that you were about to die, and all I get in return is a gun pointed at me?" Jack complained. Then he noticed who it was. "Doctor? Where the hell have you been?" he demanded.

"Oh... Right. The earth is in danger, isn't it," realised the Doctor. "Sorry, I've been a little bit preoccupied," he said, grabbing Rose's hand and turning his head to wink at her.

"Rose?" Jack asked, startled.

"Hiya captain" Rose replied, poking her tongue between her teeth. The Doctor growled, and pulled her in to his chest, glaring at Jack.

"Whoa, no need to get jealous," Jack retorted. "Can't I say hello?"

"You can say hello to me," piped up Donna.

"Not now, Donna," the Doctor sighed.

"You're one to talk," she muttered, causing Rose to chuckle
