CHAPTER 1

Rose Tyler stepped out of the doors of the TARDIS. As her feet hit the ground, she could hear the soft crunch of fresh snow. The night sky sparkled and the several moons of this strange planet illuminated the city that lay ahead.

"I knew you might like it here", said the Doctor.

Rose felt a flutter in her stomach but she didn't know exactly why. Perhaps it was how the moons gleamed in the sky, or how the Doctor's eyes sparkled when he looked at her. No! Why was she acting so weird lately? She already had a boyfriend, Micky, and was quite content.

But content didn't mean happy. The Doctor made her feel happy everyday.

NO, NO, NO!

She loved Mickey and that was the end of it!

To calm herself down, Rose decided to fully step into the frosty air and breath in the delicious breeze. It was great that the Doctor had clothes for every occasion, in case Rose forgot. She had picked out a giant woolly coat.

"Doctor, why aren't you cold? You're barely wearing a thing!" Rose called out. The Doctor had already walked quite far into the distance.

"I didn't mean it that way, it's just that you only ever wear a suit, even when it's freezing cold or boiling hot!"

The Doctor turned back and yelled "are you coming or not? We've got some sightseeing to do."

"Coming!"

Rose pulled her cloak tightly around her and sprinted off, towards the sparkling city. As she ran nearer to The Doctor, her feet stumbled and she let out a cry. Just as she was about to land in the pillow of cold snow around her, she felt strong hands grasp her tightly around her waist.

"Gotcha!" A familiar voice said. As she looked up into the face of her companion, she felt her heart melt. His eyes were so loving…

A few seconds passed, as they stared into each other's eyes. "Alright, let's go get some food!" Said the doctor and they both burst out laughing.

Rose felt like this was going to be the perfect night, just her and The Doctor, no Micky to worry about, just her friendship with her loving companion.
