„Where is it? Where is my sonic screwdriver?", the Doctor asked himself. He's been searching for at least half an hour and just couldn't find it anywhere.

Rose entered the Tardis. „Hey, what are you looking for?", she asked.

„Do you have it? Do you have the screwdriver?", he asked immediately.

„What? No." She looked a bit confused.

He sighed in despair. „No. It's impossible that I've lost it."

Rose touched his arm. „I'm sure you haven't lost it. Have you looked outside?"

He shook his head. What was he supposed to do without it? He couldn't even try to fix the Tardis (that broke and he didn't know why).

Rose moved towards the door. „Come, let's search outside!" She opened the door and went out, he followed her slowly. The Tardis has parked itself in the Central Park, in the middle of a big green field.

„Can you see it somewhere? Or even feel it?" Rose looked at him.

„Feel it?", he murmured. He looked around them. It was a nice, warm day in spring. The sun shone bright and the green grass glowed. The screwdriver should reflect the light, but the Doctor couldn't find it. „I can't see it", he said. „Or feel it."
Rose grinned. „Well I don't know. You and your screwdriver, you have that special relationship."

„What?" The Doctor looked at her bemused.

„Oh, nothing." She paused. „What are we going to do now? Do you have any plans for today?"

He shrugged. „Well, I have to repair the Tardis. But it will be harder now, that I don't have my screwdriver." He turned around and went back into the Tardis.

Rose ran after him. „And you really need to start now?"

„Yep", he answered and nodded.

„May I help you?"

„Naaa. I'd say you can take a walk through New York. The weather is brilliant and I think, you'd like the city."

Rose was disappointed. „But I like being with you more than taking a walk."

He smiled and for just a second, he forgot his terrible mood and the sonic. For this little moment, there was only Rose who wanted tob e with him. But the Doctor shook his head. „No, Rose. Take a walk." He winked at her. „Maybe you'll find the sonic screwdriver."

„Mpf", Rose made. Then she smiled quickly and turned around. She stepped out oft he Tardis, not knowing that the Doctor was watching every move she made and just couldn't stop looking behind her, even when she was gone for minutes.
