I've always thought this would be a good idea, and I thought I'd give writing a go. Please review and tell me if its rubbish and I'll stop! PS How destined am I to be the Doctor's companion? I swear I'm not making it up, my name is Donna Tyler. Spooky eh?

This is set almost directly after doomsday.

Chapter one- Not a Chance

"Can I get you anything darlin'?" Jackie called out in a concerned voice, standing outside Rose's bedroom door. "No," came the simple reply from the depths of the room. That was just the way Rose spoke now, monosyllables, ever since they had arrived home from Norway three days ago. She hadn't cried, hadn't smiled, and hadn't really shown any emotion at all.

Jackie tentatively opened the door and crept inside. Rose was lying face up on her bed, just staring at the ceiling, her face expressionless. "Are you sure you're alright Sweetheart?" Jackie asked her in a kind voice. Rose sighed, propped herself up against the headboard, as if resigning herself to the fact that she had to engage in conversation with her mother. "No." Was her reply, her voice wavering with emotion.

"Oh my angel" Jackie whispered, and sat down at the end of the bed. "What's on your mind?"

Her daughter looked at her in disgust. "what the hell do you think?" Rose whispered in reply. Well Jackie thought, at least that was more than one word. Rose looked at her properly now, and carried on, raising her voice now."The same thing – person- that's been on my mind for the past three months. Actually scrap that, the past two years! He is all I think about mum! When are you gonna get that into your head?"

"there's no need to bite my head off young lady when i'm trying to help you! Pardon me for not being a bloody mind reader!"

The two women glared at each other for a moment, then simultaneously burst into tears.

"I'm sorry darlin', but i need you to know that i'm on your side. I'm trying to help." There was a pause, then Jackie sighed. She looked into her daughters hurt filled eyes, pleading with her silently. Talk to me.

More tears poured down Rose's cheeks. She took a deep breath and took hold of Jackie's hand. "I love him, mum. So much. More than anyone could ever love any thing or anyone in this universe and the millions of other stupid ones out there. I don't know what to do with myself when he's not around, and i can't live like that for ever. I just feel... so lost." Rose sobbed, and Jackie pulled her into her arms, her heart breaking for her daughter. After several minutes of crying noisily into her mother, Rose quietened into sniffs.

She took one last deep breath, wiped her eyes determinedly, then looked fiercly at her mother. Jackie had never seen so much passion in someone's eyes before.

"The doctor told me i'd never be able to see him again." Rose spoke, her voice strong this time. "But there's no way i can accept that as an option. Not a chance."
