Slowly, the doctor began to come around and as he opened his eyes he noticed three blondes were gathered around him, looking down concerned. Then he realised there were not three blondes, there were just three Roses. He groaned in pain as he realised how badly his body ached and his head throbbed. "Doctor! are you alright? how many finger's am I holding up?" Rose asked worriedly. Humans had ten fingers didn't they? at the moment Rose had twenty.

"I'm fine" he said slowly getting up without answearing the question.

"Your not fine. You were just thrown about fifteen feet up into the air and landed on concrete. Look at you, your heads bleeding!" Rose pointed out as the doctor picked himself up off the ground.

"Did we beat them?" The doctor asked as he started to limp towards the tardis.

"Of course" Rose answeared following him and making a grab for one of his arms to steady him.

"Ok then that's good enough for me" he said as he swung open the tardis's doors and they walked through. The doctor collasped into the captain's chair as Rose ran down into the hallway. His head was hurting more than he liked to let on but Rose didn't need to know that because she'd only baby him as she usually did. They'd just been to the Planet Nesolica and discovered the Slytheen were trying to invade but they'd managed to influtriate their operation ending with a final battle involving the doctor being flung several feet in the air and Rose blowing up their spaceship.

"Oi mister" The doctor spun around in the captains chair and saw Rose re-entering the console room with a first aid box. "I'm not going to be happy until I'm sure your alright" Nurse Tyler said marching infront of him and pulling a bandage out of the kit.

"Rose stop acting like my mother, I can look after myself" The doctor insisted.

"Ha I liked to see that"

"I did survive a timewar you know" he pointed out moving about as Rose tried to patch him up.

"Oh stop acting like a little baby and let me clean up your cut" She said plastering the cuts all over his face.

"I'll look ridiculous covered in plasters"

"Oh quit moaning" Rose grinned as she finally finished and took a seat next to him. "I'm so tired doctor" She sighed.

"Of what?"

"No I meant I'm tired, as in sleepy. It's been a really long day " She yawned resting her head on his shoulder. To the doctor's suprise he felt a jolt of desire flood through him. He shrugged it off though, it couldn't mean anything afterall this was Rose Tyler, his companion and he could never feel anything more than friendship for his companions. Besides he was nine hundred years old and Rose was twenty. How perverted would that be? but the doctor couldn't resist gazing down at her sleeping face. Then he started to think how Rose was always looking after him as if he was a little boy, she looked out for him, more than she did for herself these days. He smiled at that thought and decided to carry Rose to her bed so she could sleep more comfortably. He managed to lift her up and carry her in his arms without a probelm considering his injuries. He lay her down and took one last glance before leaving to go to his own room to sleep.

The doctor woke up immediatly the next morning to hear a high pitched scream coming from the room across the tardis hall. Suddenly panic threatened to overcome him. That was Rose's scream. "Rose!" He yelled as he ran into her room and then came to a stop as he realised she wasn't in any danger. She was just stood there frozen and looked kind of pale. He spun around to see what she was staring at and saw red liquid dripping onto Rose's bed . There was a message written in blood on her wall.

It's coming

The doctor frowned. "Doctor what's going on?" Rose asked frightened and confused.

"I don't know" he replied slowly.

"But you know everything!" Rose cried coming closer to him and grabbing his arm.

"Erm not this" he replied truthfully. He was just as bewildered as she was. What could of possibly of done this and how? there was no way something could of sneaked into the tardis.

"What if this is a sign or something?" Rose asked looking up at him, her brown eyes widened with fear.

"A sign for what?"

"Danger. Maybe someone's trying to warn us"

"Or scare us" The doctor added still frowning. Who was this message suppose to be directed at? him or Rose or both?. He had half a million unansweared questions and that made them quite vunerable.

"So what do we do?" Rose asked taking hold of his hand for comfort.

"Nothing. Theres not much we can do right now I'm afraid" he said plainly.

"So we just wait for something bad to happen ?" Rose asked looking less scared and more nervous.

"We just carry on as usual" The doctor replied and shivered. He suddenly realised it was because it was chilly in the tardis and he was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. Rose seemed to have noticed this too as she was staring at his bare chest."Er I'll just go get changed" The doctor said quickly and ran to his room while Rose stood there blushing shamelessly.
