"RUUUN!" Says the Doctor.

I run as fast as I can. We're holding hands as we run away from yet another monster. I don't honestly remember the name of this one. These days there are too many to remember their names. Guess what? We're on another planet. Don't get me wrong I do love traveling thought the stars, but these days it feels like everyday is the same thing. Wake up, another planet. Walk out the tardis, another creature. The Doctor tries to help, ends up almost getting killed. He manages to stop it, we run back to the tardis, and the cycle starts over again. It's getting old.

We manage to get back to the tardis safely, but I did lose my bracelet. Mickey gave it to me on my fifteenth birthday. It was just a simple chain but it had a dragonfly charm. The charm was a clear crystal, of course it was fake. Mickey actually got it from the corner market. He said he saved his money for two weeks, back then that was a long time. It wasn't anything too special but it always reminded me of home when I got home sick.

"Ahh well where to next?" The Doctor looked at me. I was still standing by the door, thinking. I looked all around, at the engine, at the endless hallways. I looked at him. I look at him in his eyes, his eyes showed and old man, but his body showed a young man. I'm still trying to figure that out.

"I just want to sleep" I say in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll be in here if you need me" he turns away and starts to play with the engine. He looked like a fresh puppy. I've only ever seen him sleep twice in the two years I've been traveling with him. Do time even Lords sleep? Or was he pretending? I really wish he would go in the bed with me, I don't mean like to sleep with him, I just want the warmth of this body there. For him to wrap his arms around me, and also to just know he's there.

I walk up the cold metal stairs. I walk straight passed him, he is to busy with the tardis to notice me. He's jumping around, to consumed with his work. I start to walk down the hallway and take a right at the second entrance. It take quite a while for me to get to my room.

My room has a king sized bed with a closet on the right side of it. On the left it is the bathroom with a walk-in closet and a bath. It also has a tv but it only plays non earth channels. He said he would try to fix it, but yet hasn't. I forgot my room has tons of books, book shelves, book cases, anything it's there. Also the books are quite strange, most of them are in different languages, but some of the pictures are nice. I never have time to read them.

I make my way to closet and take off my clothes. I don't usually sleep with clothes on, other than a bra and undies (is that what you say in America?). I turn around and walk to my bed. I climb up and tuck myself in. The sheets are made of Gallifreyian silk worms silk. They feel like I'm laying on a cloud. Usually I don't all asleep quick, but today seems different. I quickly find my eyelids are extremely heavy, before I slip into unconscienceness I hear foot steps at the edge of my bed. But it's too late I go to sleep.

Yet again, I did not have a dream. When I wake up, the Doctor is sitting at the edge of my bed. He smiles when I look at him. I stretch and move my hair out of my face. I sit up, and look at him.

"How was your sleep?" He says.

"Good, were you there the whole time?" I say, when I say it I instantly regret it. I knew he was, I don't mind. I looks down, he's embarrassed.

"Sorry, it's just sleep, it fascinates me"

"Why do time lords sleep?"

"No, curse of the time lords, I use to, before I looked into the vortex. After that I couldn't?" He says, I feel bad for him. I bet he has never had dream, or has he? But he was probably to young to remember.

"So where are we going next? Stop an alien invasion? Help save a planet off in the distant galaxy?"

"Sadly no... It's Christmas! Well, if you're keeping track of time since you left it would be Christmas! In your time" He says, I'm soo happy! I havent seen mom in around a year. I get to eat a home cooked meal, with mash potatoes and gravy. My mouth starts to water. I hurry up and jump out of bed and hug him. His arms go around me awkwardly this time. I just pull him closer, I love his body warmth and the way we fit perfectly. I am truly grateful for him.

after a second I notice its kind of cold... Shit! I'm in my under garments. I hurry and run to the bathroom and close the door.

"I'm sorry, I forgot!" I scream to him through the door.

"I'm sorry! I didn't see anything!"

"Well, I'm just going to take a shower then we can go, okay?"

''Okay"

When he hear him walk away I start up the shower. I start to think him. Do I really want him looking at me like that? Umm hello Rose! YES YOU DO! I don't know, I don't want to lose him. You're not! You see the way he looks at you, he wants you! But he's time lord, I'm a human it wouldn't work out. Okay shut up! I don't want to think about it. I try and not think about it the rest of the shower. I get out and put a towel on and walk to the closet. I quickly get out a nice shirt and jeans, and lay them on the bed. Next I get a pair of shoes, a bra, and undies. I go back to the bathroom and dry my hair.

I finally finish after about a hour, I see him sitting in the chair.

"You ready?" I say.

"Umm Yes! Lets get going" he says, he quickly jumps up and run to the controls, this time he doesn't say anything when he flips switches and moves thingys. Pulls a crank and looks up.

"Year 2007, Christmas Eve, earth, UK" he says, and points to the door. I take his hand and run to the door. I open it, it's snowing. I love it when it snows. We're just outside of our apartment. We start running up the stairs. After a couple of flights we are at the door. I can hear two people taking, and the smell of the turkey is killing me. I knock very loud and hard till mom opens the door.

"Rose?" Mom says

"Hey mom, Happy Christmas!"

"Doctor?" She says, I can tell she is still in shock. I love it when I do this to her. I know this makes her happy to see me, well us. It also lets her know that I'm alive.

"Jackie!" The doctor says, as he goes to hug her. She squishes him, she probably thought it would just be her and Mickey. I promise right know that I will always go home for Christmas dinner. After the mom stops she rushes to me and squishes me.

"Hey mom, okay... You can stop, I need air in my lungs. How long has it been?" I say, she finally stops. I chuckle, her eyes are filled with tears.

"Nearly eight months..." She says, but is interrupted by Mickey. He rushes past mom and the doctor and scoops me up and hugs me so tight. He starts to spin me around, I wish the doctor would do this to me. We both begin to laugh.

"Eh Mickey! Nice you see you" I say

"It's been eight months! You have to come in more often!" He says, I look over to the doctor. The doctor just smiles.

"would you like me to go back three months and say hi?" Says the Doctor. I look over Mickey and his face begins to turn red with anger.

"Let's just eat boys, I'm hungry!" I say. That breaks some of the tension, I hope it'll be gone by tonight. After five minutes we are all in the livings room cramped at the dinning table, that is suppose to fit two. The food takes up most of the space, but it's still home.

As we eat dinner we talk about some of our adventures. It turns out Mickey has a new job working for computer company. Mom has been the same, nothing new. But she kept going on about Loire apartment 2b's daughter got fired from Target because she got caught stealing. The Doctor and I exchange a look over that, because we steal all the time. Actually, he told me he stole the tardis, but he won't tell me more I that story.

We all open our Christmas crackers, I got a blue crown this time. The Doctor got the pink one. We had a nice laugh at that. He does look like he is having fun. Is this his first earth Christmas dinner? I don't know, the truth is I don't really know him at all. I just went with him to explore, and now it's getting old. It just doesn't have the same spark. Lets just say once you defeat the daleks three times it starts getting old.

Once we finish with dinner Mickey has to leave, something with the computer server at Walmart. Mom starts cleaning the dishes, I go to my room. Once I'm there I look at all my clothes. The ones in the tardis are nice, I just miss these. On top my desk are all my little trinkets. I look at my bed and lay down on it, I am full. I hear foot steps and look up to see the Doctor.

"Thank you" I say, he smiles.

"You're very welcome" he says as he leans against the edge of the door.

"Do you ever get sick of traveling?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like do you ever just want to stop and like make a life and have children and a family?"

"Well a very long time ago I did have children and a family, but their dead now..." He looks down. I can tell he now sad. I sit up and pat the stop next to me and tell him to sit down. He does, I put my arms around him and hug him.

"It's okay" I say. He hugs me back. We hug for the next couple of moments till he lets go. I wish he didn't.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell you, it's just I don't want to settle down because it always reminds me of them, and how I never get to see them" he says.

"You could always travel back?"

"No! It's not good to back to them, not good for time, or me"

"Well, you know I'm always here..." I say, I'm trying to hint I kind of like him. I care for him a lot, I would take a laser shot from a Dalek for him.

"Rose...I" He looks away, I scoot away. I know what he means.

"I understand..." I say, I begin to tear up. I get up form my bed. "I think it's time for you to go" I say, He looks up quick.

"Just me?!"

"Yes, I just can't travel with you any more. It's not exciting, and it just repeats it self" he stands up at this point. I never notice but he is very tall. If I did kiss him, I would have to stand on my tippy toes.

"Well if that's how you feel, good bye then, just remember if you ever need me, just call" we look at one another. I can tell he's holding back tears, I am.

"Bye" I say, he walks out of my room, and open and closes the front door. He is gone. I'm still in my room, I haven't moved.

"Is everything thing alright sweetie?" Mom says. She comes drying a pot. I hope she didn't hear anything. When she says this crumble to the ground and cry my eyes out.

"What happened. Where's the Doctor?" She says. She put the pot on the bed and goes to the ground and hugs me. When sit there till I stop. She pulls me to my bed and kisses me on my forehead.

"We'll talk bout it later" she says, and leaves my room, closes the door and turns off the lights. I quickly go to sleep.
