Paring 10th x Rose
Summary: This is a total side story and takes place just after the Christmas Invasion but not part of the story line at all so you can call it an AU I guess... so to the summary. After his regeneration the Doctor has decided to bring Rose somewhere for some fun and avoid any; Aliens, fighting (done by them), or someone threatening their lives. After thinking for some time he decided the very first Olympic games in Greece. Little does he know that the moment they arrive that the athletes are being killed left and right; the games postponed. The Doctor learns that he fits the profile of the killer that is taking out the athletes. Rose has only seventy-two hours to prove the Doctor's innocence before he is beheaded.
Disclaimer: I don't own Dr. Who, I wish I did but I bet we all did…Chapter 1: Arrival
With a flip of the last dial the TARDIS began to slowly appear in a dark alley behind a street market the loud voices covered the tell tale whine of the engine of the time machine.
The blue police box sat hidden in shadows of large buildings. The door slowly creaked open and a young man with chestnut brown hair and dark brown eyes stepped out into the alley; wearing flowing white robes and sandals laced up his calves stopping just before his knees.
" Here we are, the year seven-hundred and seventy-six B.C just hours away from the very first Olympic games," the Doctor said pushing his hair back for a moment as he turned around in a circle looking up at the sky above them.
" Fantastic" the Doctor remarked softly; when he finally stopped a young blonde woman was standing before him.
" So this is a vacation… no aliens, or world destruction, just a peaceful vacation?" The blonde asked adjusting her wool dress and gold jewelry.
The Doctor looked at his companion " As far as I can tell… that would be a yes Rose Tyler " he remarked shutting the door to the TARDIS and locking it. " can't have any nosy humans inside… it wouldn't be good" he remarked walking out of the alley into the bright sunlight.
" We're both going to have the time our lives on our first vacation ever, no bloody killer Christmas trees, or Daleks chasing us; so no worrying nothing will happen." The Doctor said putting his hands behind his head.
Rose looked around and smiled " I'll hold you to your word Doctor" she said raising her arm to block the sun from her eyes.
" It really is beautiful here… looking at pictures in school or on those history shows on the telly were of nothing but ruins; seeing it in real life is an amazing experience" she said
The Doctor just smiled " your right, after this we should take a walk around… see the sites… maybe get your mum something from here like a souvenir" he remarked as he started to laugh.
" If we got my mum something from everywhere we went she would have to get a bigger flat." Rose said laughing.
" Stop him…killer… get out of our way" the guards yelled running down the crowded street chasing a man, caught in the act of stabbing a contestant in the games.
The man tore down the dirty stone streets through the crowds of people in the street markets.
Reaching a dead end he looked over the edge and saw a couple just standing there before he dove off the upper level of the plaza.
Grabbing onto a banner he landed on an awning above the Doctor and Rose. He smirked as he jumped off and went down the alley behind them.
" What do you think he was running from?" The Doctor remarked as a pack of guards looked down at him and Rose.
In the blink of an eye a barrage of spears and arrows began to fly toward the time travelers.
" I thought you said nothing was going to happen " Rose yelled as she and the doctor began to run down the street to stay out of range from the arrows and spears.
The Doctor turned his head back a bit " I never promised… I said it looked like a yes," he said before running into a heavy plated guard, with by some luck he had the Doctor missed running himself through on the spear in the guard's hand.
Rose screamed as another guard picked her up over his large olive muscled shoulder. His black hair fluttered into Rose's face as she beat her fists on his back. " Put me down you git" she yelled as she struggled to get free.
"Don't struggle Rose, as soon as this has been cleared up we'll go back to what we were doing" the Doctor said as his hands were tied behind his back.
The guards laughed, " Your funny, you know that for murder you are also killed, then the games can resume" the guard with the dark brown hair tying his wrists together said. " Looks like we're both going to be captains after this." The guard holding Rose said; as the Doctor and Rose were brought lead back to the palace of the emperor Chiron, in his throne room the two travelers were placed kneeling before him.
Rose looked up at the emperor who seemed to have a flawless body from what she could see. Though with just a white skirt on his hips going just over his knees as he sat before them there wasn't much left to the imagination for Rose.
The Doctor noticed this reaction and a slight twinge of jealousy stuck him and he cleared his throat a bit " Now why have we been brought here? Better question why have I been accused of killing someone when I just arrived… it's not bloody well nice of you, you stupid human" The time lord remarked looking at the emperor before him.
Chiron looked down at the Doctor and motioned for his guard to take care of the prisoner.
Erebus smirked and backhanded the Doctor; his brown curly hair fell in front of his eyes " keep your tongue you insolent dog before I cut it out" Erebus remarked looking down at the Doctor.
" Your highness what are we to do with the girl she seems to be some sort of companion to this murderous" Alec said standing behind Rose; he had been the guard that she had called a git before.
Chiron rested his chin in his hand as he looked at Rose" lock her up for now and I will figure out what to do with her." He moved his gaze over to the Doctor " your beheading will be at dawn" the emperor said his dark brown almost back hair hung from his shoulders as he leaned forward.
" You may lock him up… I've decided that locking up a woman in the dungeon is wrong… Alec your going to guard her at all times." Chiron said waving off the guards, the emperor watched as the Doctor was pulled to his feet and led to the dungeon while Rose was led to the guard's chamber.
Both travelers looked over their shoulders and locked eyes with each other for what was the last time.
As the young woman finally settled down Alec watched her closely " I'm sorry for the mess, I haven't been in here long enough to pick up the mess." Alec remarked picking up the scattered clothes and scrolls that he had left on the table.
Rose just sat on the edge of the bed; she was terrified about being stuck in this time forever…
I just want to talk to him if it's the last time… I know he regenerates but what if he can't this time…
" I want to talk with the Doctor… right now… if it's my last time then I want to spend my remaining time with him" Rose remarked as she stood up looking around for something heavy incase Alec said no.
The guard sat silent for a moment at the table " of course… I would want to see my lover on their last night if I was in your position" Alec said leading Rose out of his chambers and down to the dungeon over to the Doctor's cell.
" You can stay here for as long as you wish… but Erebus will be guarding you to make sure you don't break your lover out… he has to pay for his crimes" Alec remarked pointing at the Doctor.
