Needles to say the unhappiness at seeing her again is short lived and he eventually finds the courage to tell her he loves her (Hurrah! about time if ya ask me!) just before he gets electricuted and is stopped form telling her by the incident. (his timing needs work!)

Eventually Rose learns that there is no way back to her family and that she's stuck in the Doctor's universe.

During a heart to heart, Rose learns of the Doctor's guilt at ending the time war the way he did. They end up in bed together and it all goes a bit wrong. They find that Rose still has some of the time vortex in her and that it overloaded the Doctor. He recovers and after a spell for JAck and Rose inside the Doctor's mind, they head to Torchwood in Cardiff.

The Doctor is arrested by Torchwood London and is torutured a little. Needless to say he is saved, Jack joins the Doctor and Rose for a few more adventures, including this one and they all live happily ever after...sort of.

So just how happy is that happily ever after?

Chapter 1

"So where are we this time?" She asked, stepping out into the orange glow of a sunset.

"I think we're somewhere in California." One of her companions answered, stepping out, shrugging into his coat.

"You think?"

"Ok, let me re-phrase. We are definitely in California, just dunno where!" He grinned, stuffing his hands in his pockets, feeling the wind tangle his coat tails. He closed his eyes as he took a deep breath from the chilly air that whipped across the hill.

"Any idea when?" The girl huddled into his side trying to ward off some of the cool air that made her skin prickle.

"Ooo I'd say 'bout five or six years ago."

"Ok. Playing twenty questions; what's so special about California 2000?"

"No idea. Should be fun finding out though!" Taking a device from his jacket pocket he scanned the area. "Well well, isn't this town a foxy little hive of……well, nastiness?!"

"Nastiness?" She took a wary look around her.

"Oh yeah- this place is throbbing with it."

"Then maybe we shouldn't stay." She said turning to go back inside.

"Now Rose," He grabbed her arm and pulled her against his side, "where's your inner adventurer gone? Hurry up Jack, times a-wasting!" he called. Taking hold of the girl's hand, he started jogging down the hill towards the town, chuckling all the way.

XxXxX

Oz and Angel sat at the bar in the bronze waiting for the rest of the gang in silence. They occasionally glanced at each other and gave a small smile or a nod.

"So," Angel said, "what's new?" The words came awkwardly from his lips; he wasn't much of a 'what's new' kind of person really.

"Nothing much." Oz shrugged.

"How's…. How's the wolf thing working out for you?" The vampire cringed inwardly as he said it.

"It's….ok. Get some alone time. I bought new chains." The boy's brow furrowed at how odd that sounded. "You know….full moon." He felt compelled to explain.

"Yeah, I got that."

XxXxX

"Wont be long." Rose promised leaving her friends at the bar.

They each took a stool and waited patiently to order a drink.

"Women," one muttered, the other man wasn't listening; he was too busy sizing up the place. "They never go before they leave home. 'Oh no, I don't need to go, I'll be fine'. Two minutes down the road, guaranteed we'll need to stop and find a ladies."

Angel couldn't help but snigger. "Sorry" the vampire told the new-comer. "Couldn't help it."

"Quite alright. It's something I imagine most human men complain about some time."

"Yes, I imagine it is. Angel." He introduced himself holding out his hand. "And this is Oz."

"Pleasure to meet you," he smiled broadly, "I'm the Doctor and this is Jack Harkness"

XxXxX

"Doctor who?" Oz asked.

"Just Doctor, that's what everyone calls me. So…. this is the Sunnydale." The Doctor nodded, "The Hellmouth." His eyes sparkled with excitement. "Seems like a nice …..scary place. In the dark anyway. I'm sure it's lovely in daylight."

"What did you say?" Angel looked the new-comers over.

"Sunnydale, lovely place in daylight."

"No, the Hellmouth part."

"Did I say that? Hmmm, interesting. No idea!" He lied badly, slipping Jack an amused look.

"How do you know about the Hellmouth?" Angel growled, grabbing the Doctor's arm.

"Easy pal." Jack was instantly at the Doctor's side.

"Oh you know about it too! Phew, my mouth runs away with me sometimes. Thought I'd blown it then. All the big names know about this place. Stand down Harkness." The Doctor paused for a moment. "Sorry did you say you're name is Angel? Have we met before?" The Doctor studied the vampire's face. "You seem so familiar. Mind you I've met thousands, no probably closer to millions of people from everywhere. But I've never been to Sunnydale before. Where are you from originally?"

Angel didn't think there was a single person in the world that could talk more than Cordelia Chase but he never thought in a million years that if there was, it would be a thirty-something male. "What makes you think I wasn't born here?"

"I know you weren't." The Doctor looked at him in a way that unsettled a Vampire.

"How long does it take to use the bathroom?" Jack moaned.

Suddenly screaming filled the air.

"You had to say it didn't you?!" The Doctor sighed.

"Hey Doc, it's just like old times." He reached for his gun.

"Keep it hidden Harkness." The Doctor yelled sprinting towards the noise, Jack hot on his heels.

They barged through the crowd, elbowing people aside.

"Rose?" The Doctor yelled, searching every face in sight. "Jack, can you see Rose?"

"No, what the hell is going on?" Jack climbed on the bar to get a better view.

"Vampires." A stoic voice came from behind him.

Turning Jack found Oz standing on the bar right behind him. "I'm sorry did you just say…?"

"Vampire." The boy repeated calmly. "You might want one of these." He held up a whittled drum stick.

"Right, you're gona explain this later." He heard the Doctor practically scream Rose's name and followed his gaze and saw a creature carrying an unconscious Rose out the back door followed by at least another ten, all carrying girls.

"Woah, easy there Doc." Jack grabbed the Doctor as he went to charge after her.

"Jack let me go!" He struggled against the Time Agent's grasp.

"What are you going to do empty handed? You don't even know what they are."

"They're Vampires Jack."

"You sure? You might want this then." He held up the drum stick and they charged off after the Vampire that had Rose.

Jack threw himself at the Vampire's legs as the Doctor darted in front, catching Rose as the creature fell.

Jack raised his stake ready to strike when someone beat him too it.

"Too slow." Angel smirked, charging out in to the night, following the escaped Vampires.

The Doctor shifted Rose's dead weight in his arms and headed in the only direction he could. Into the alleyway.

XxXxX

The alley was dark and damp and in the middle was a lone small blonde girl, throwing Vampires against walls, flipping them over and staking them. And they just kept coming. One after another.

The Doctor could see the kidnappers reach the end of the alley and disappear into the shadows.

"Get her the hell out of here." An Irish voice growled from behind him, as another blonde girl swept by and joined the fray.

"If you're not going to make a break for it you might wana take cover? Here." Angel said to him handing him a stake as a vampire flew straight at them.

Instinctively the Doctor held Rose away from the oncoming assault and pointed the shaft of wood at the attacker and waited for impact. He was almost amazed to see it explode into a cloud of dust. Looking around he saw Jack getting stuck in. He always enjoyed a bit or arm to arm combat; and he seemed to have the upper hand for the most of it.

"Oz, look out!" One of the girls yelled.

"Buffy twelve o'clock!"

"Look out."

"Hey, dead guy. You're meant to stay in the ground!"

"Hey!"
"Not you Angel!"

Yells and calls came thick and fast and the Doctor took Rose, hiding her behind him in the shadows, standing guard.

"Doctor?" Rose's voice only just reached his ear.

"Rose? Oh thank god. Are you all right?" He crouched beside her, stroking the hair away from her face

"What happened?"

"I was hoping you were going to tell me."

"What's going on?" She sat up and looked around in horror.

"What are we doing here?"

"I have no idea but I have a horrible feeling this is why the TARDIS brought us here."

"What are they?"

"Vampires."

"What?"

"Doctor! Look out!" a girl yelled throwing herself at the pair, knocking them both flat to the as a vampire flew over their heads from behind. She jumped up and took up a fighting stance protecting them from the vampire.

"You're not the Slayer, little girl." The vampire laughed.

"Ten out of ten for observation, genius!"

"I'm gonna snap you then drink you."

"Oh really?" The girl sounded thoroughly bored. "When you're ready."

The creature snarled then roared at her before charging. She just shook her head, grabbed it by the arms, and flipped it over her, slamming it down on the pavement before staking it. "Vampires. All talk." She muttered almost to herself while brushing the dust from her skirt, not seeing the fight that was barrelling towards her. Before the Doctor could yell at her, Angel knocked her flying against the wall with a sickening thud as he dusted the last vampire.

Rose scrabbled to her side, her own head pounding.

"Sorry, I didn't see her." Angel stooped beside them as the Doctor looked her over.

He pressed his fingers against her neck and was shocked at how cold she was. When he found no pulse he lowered his ear to her chest, listening for a heartbeat. Sighing he ran his fingers through his hair.

"What's wrong?" Rose asked looking up at him.

"She's dead."

"But she can't be…" a girl's voice came from behind them.

"Well she is! As a dodo!" He snapped. "Sorry, sorry. That was rude. It's just…. she called me Doctor. How did she know? We only spoke to these two." He gestured to Angel and Oz.

"Uh, hi. Is any actually going introduce us?" the girl said.

"Yes, sorry. Hello. I'm the Doctor, this is Rose Tyler and this is Jack Harkness. Buffy isn't it?"

"Uh yeah." She looked at Angel questioningly who shrugged.

"And who was that?" Oz asked quietly.

"No idea. She's not one of mine."

"Not one of ours either." Angel told him.

"A good Samaritan?"

"In this town? Not on the likely." Buffy remarked.

"Uh I have a question. If she's dead then why is she breathing?" Oz asked, crouching down beside the Doctor.

"That's impossible." He lay flat so he was eyelevel with her chest.

"See?" Oz said leaning even further down beside him, following the rise and fall of the girl's chest with his finger.

The Doctor leant forward and listened, holding his own breath. "Well she's going through the motions." He said finally. "But there's no actual breath." He straightened and stuffed his hands in his pockets

"So she's pretending to breathe?" Rose asked holding her hand by the girl's nose feeling for any kind of air. "So that mean's she's what?"

"I don't know." He said absently, staring at their patient.

"Usually if they're dead but still look like they're breathing then they're of the undead variety of residents." Buffy told him slipping her arm around Angel's waist as he pulled her close. "That is where I come in." She shrugged waving a stake in the air.

"No!" The Doctor growled. "I need to know who she is. Was. Is. Whatever. I need to know. She saved our lives. Who are you to say who gets to live and die?"

"I'm the Slayer. It's my job." Buffy protested, feeling like she was being told off by a teacher.

"Yeah well it's my job to make sure everyone gets a fair chance." The Doctor glared at the girl.

Rose placed her hand in his and squeezed. "Doctor."

He looked down at her sadly and over at Jack before picking the dead stranger up. "Well first we need to get her inside. Somewhere less crowded."

"Library." Oz shrugged. "It's not far. My vans just up there."

XxXxX

Next time:

"Doctor? What's your fault?" Rose raised her voice and moved so she was blocking his view.

"She's dead and it's my fault." He banged his head back against the wall a couple of times before sliding up to stand. "I'm so sorry." He said, stepping round Rose.

Coming soon:

'You know who I follow' a voice in the Doctor's head told him. 'He can't know who I am. He mustn't find out 'til the time is right. You know that don't you?! Just as I know everything that makes you cry when no one's looking. Everything that keeps you awake at night.' His eyes widened as he recognised the voice. The vampire was talking to him in his head. It shouldn't have surprised him; he'd had plenty of telepathic conversations before but never in this sort of situation. 'Get out of here, Doctor. Leave this town and don't look back. Nothing good will ever come from this place.'

A/N: Okay so by now you must have figured it's a biut of a Buffy crossover but you dont really need to have watched Buffy to keep up. It's a Doctor Who story. Please stick with it.

So folks. Please be friendly and review!

"Catch ya on the flip flop!"
