Bad Dreams, Broken Arms and Finally Getting To Sleep
Rose was running, but her hand was empty. She was on her own; the Doctor was gone. She was scared.
It was chasing her at an alarming speed; she couldn't get away. Her worst fears were coming true as the creature gained on her.
The creature looked like something out of a horror movie when it loomed over her after she had fallen to the floor. Its claw swooped down towards her and Rose screamed...

Hearing Rose scream, the Doctor hurried out from under the console of his beloved ship the TARDIS. He knew Rose had fallen asleep on the captains' chair while watching him work as he had tucked his coat around her so she would stay warm (it could get quite chilly in the console room if the Doctor annoyed his ship).
Looking over at where the sleeping Rose should be laying, all he saw was an empty chair. Rushing around the console he found Rose tucked up in a ball, shaking on the floor.
"Rose," the Doctor said softly, crouching down beside her. "Rose, it's alright. I'm here, right here and I'm not going anywhere. I promise. C'mon, let's get you to bed, hmm?"
Opening her eyes, Rose looked deep into the Doctor's own brown eyes and nodded before starting to sit up. As she pushed all her weight onto her right hand Rose cried out in pain. The Doctor immediately reached out to support Rose as her arm gave in and she was about to fall back to the floor.
Moving over to sit beside Rose the Doctor gently picked up her wrist, unintentionally making her wince.
"Sorry," he apologised before continuing, "I think it might be broken. Medical bay first. Then we'll get you to bed. Okay?"
Rose nodded as a reply and the Doctor helped her to her feet. Rose was still shivering so the Doctor picked up his long brown coat and wrapped it around Rose's shoulders, followed by his arm. Together, they set off towards the medical bay.

The medical bay looked a bit like a hospital ward and surgery room mixed into one, in Rose's eyes. She had only ever been in this room once before during her long stay on the TARDIS; back when the Doctor was still in his ninth incarnation.
The Doctor asked Rose to sit on the table in the middle of the room while he fetched something to help with the pain in her arm. Rose hadn't complained yet but the Doctor knew that she wouldn't speak up until it was too much to handle; she could be very stubborn at times. The Doctor gave Rose a tablet that tasted of strawberries to take away the pain.
The Doctor knew he had to put Rose's arm in a cast so it would heal. After using the sonic screwdriver to check that the bones were lined up correctly, the Doctor began to wrap Rose's arm in special bandages which would harden to form a cast and also speed up the healing process of her arm.
Rose yawned and the Doctor realised that she was probably really tired after her night time adventure, so he quickly finished setting the cast on her arm.
After supporting her arm in a sling, the Doctor allowed Rose to stand and, taking her uninjured hand in his, led her towards her room.
