Never Leave Me

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing

Summary: The Doctor thinks he can protect Rose form anything. But some things he just can't control.

Prologue

"Rose, leave the dog alone!"

Laughing, Rose turned away from the weird yappy noseless thing at her feet. "But he's gorgeous! Aw, can we keep him? Please?" She begged, trying to pout and failing miserably.

The Doctor shook his head, laughing in spite of himself. It was always better on days like this, without the life or death situations. Why hadn't they gone to Barcelona before? Of course, they're little adventures were thrilling, and he knew Rose loved them too, despite the amount of times she'd nearly died as a result. But he could take care of her; he always had since he'd taken her hand and told her to run. He'd always get her back to earth safely.

A small squeal brought him back to his senses and he turned to grin at the blonde. "Did he bite you?" he asked. "Don't say I didn't warn you".

Rose shook her head. "No, it wasn't him, I just…." She trailed off, examining her right hand closely.

"Y'what?" He replaced his smile with a concerned frown. She didn't answer. "You what? He said, with more urgency in his voice, snapping her out of her dream. She shook her head.

"Nothing just got a sting is all. Doesn't matter". She smiled brightly. "So where to now?" she asked, dropping her hand back to her side.

"Hm," The Doctor murmured, still not convinced. "Well, if you're sure, I thought we might go to the Market. They've got plenty of things woth looking at, year 1569—that's 2246 in earth time. And a banana farm".

Rose rolled her eyes. "Banana's are good," she said, automatically. "Lead the way".

She got about three steps, before she collapsed into the doctors arms.

A/N: This is my first fanfiction, so I hope it doesn't suck too much
