I just wanted to say thank you for picking out my story. I'm new to this whole writing thing so I am bound to make mistakes. This is just for some fun. I suppose I am creating my own little AU with this but I hope you all will like it just the same. Ready, Set, Read On!


Not more than a half hour ago the Doctor, Rose and Jack had been walking across a frozen planet in a harsh windstorm. They had received a distress call aboard the TARDIS claiming a foreign alien race was harassing a civilization of natives. The Doctor pinpointed the location of the call and they set off but he was unable to land directly where the call had been coming from, they would have to walk. When they finally reached the town it was totally abandoned. Homes and places of work totally frozen shut. Jack broke down the ice of a few homes and reported no one inside after that The Doctor ran a scan that informed them there were no life forms anywhere near them (besides themselves of coarse). They started to walk back towards the TARDIS, The Doctor rambling about how maybe he got the timeline wrong and how he'd have to check the message again when they returned.

They had been walking for about twenty minutes when the ground below them started to cracked and gave way under Rose; it was only then they realized it hadn't been ground they were walking on but a frozen body of water.

Rose was under the ice and rather disoriented; it felt as if thousands of nettles had been pricking her all at the same time. She swam back to where she had fallen from but was met with a thick sheet of ice.

"Break more of the ice but don't fall in! She needs more of an area to get out!" The Doctor was shouting to Jack while he took off his coat.

"Right, and what are you going to –" Jacks question was cut off by a splash as The Doctor entered the frozen water.

The Doctor couldn't see her for a few seconds; it was a whole new level of pain as he tried to keep his eyes open long enough to focus on what might have been Rose. He could hear a faint pounding for only a moment and swam to it. He opened his eyes so he could securely fascine his arm around Rose; she wasn't moving. He reached in his pocket and grabbed his sonic, thanking every God he knew of that it worked under water; and pointed it at the ice above their heads until it melted and he lifted Rose back to the surface. Jack was to her in a second and then pulled The Doctor up.

"Rose? Rose! Can you hear me?" Jack was leaning over her. He felt for a pulse, found it. He held his hand under her nose, she was still breathing, "She's alive. Just unconscious. She hardly has a pulse though." Jack pulled off his coat and wrapped her up in it before picking her up. The Doctor then laid his coat over her as well; she needed all the heat she could get.

"Right. The TARDIS is ten minutes that way." The Doctor pointed in the direction they had been heading in the first place and both men took off running.

oOoOoOo

"So, her bathroom? Hottest bath we can run?" Jack asked when they made it back.

"No, we don't want her body going into shock. The pool, it will be warm but not too hot." They rushed down the winding halls towards the large pool. Jack lowered Rose into the shallow end of the water, her eyes were still closed and her heart was hardly beating, "Doctor, there has to be more we can do. She's nearly dead!" Jack was pushing hair out of her face, holding her head above the water.

"Jack," The Doctor started and then stopped.

"What!? Anything I can do to help, I will! Just tell me!"

"She's like you, Jack. Just give it a little time."

"Wha-What do you mean by that? I thought you took the time vortex out of her?"

"I did! But, Bad Wolf remains. It's her. It won't let her die. Shows up just as she's about to saves her. I've never seen anything like it." The Doctor admitted.

"And you know this how?"

"It's happened already." When Jack just raised an eyebrow The Doctor went on, "It was soon after last Christmas. We'd been dealing with some Silurians, trying to form some peace with them and I thought we were doing well but one of them had enough and shot Rose when her back was turned. I got her back to the TARDIS as quick as I could; I even flew to Jackie, oh the beating that women gave me. I was sure I was sure I was loosing Rose for good this time. Jackie finally stopped and cried over her daughter never letting go of her, she clung to both of us while we waited. Rose inhaled very sharply and her eyes opened but they weren't her usual brilliant brown, they were gold. Bad Wolf spoke saying how Rose would never die, how some how she and the TARDIS were still connected and how that would save her every time she'd need it to; Bad Wolf would always return. So, now, you and I, we wait."

"Well, judging by how she is breathing it won't be too long now." And then they waited in silence until Roses hitched breath broke them from their own thoughts.

Her eyes were once again golden and her voice different when she spoke, "Good to see you again, Doctor." Roses body started to glow all over.

"I wish I could say the same." The Doctor respond and Bad Wolf chuckled.

"Almost a full year with no accidents, very good! And you know, just because I will not age or die doesn't mean you shouldn't tell me what's happening. I'll realize sooner or later."

"You didn't say anything about not aging last time." The Doctor stated.

"I couldn't just let myself keep getting ancient! Think about what that would do to my body. Think about what 900 years would do to your body." She grinned, "Tell me, Doctor, tell me what's happening to me. I want to know." With that her eyes closed and reopened back to the normal brown.

"Hi, Jack. When'd we get to the pool? And why'm I so cold?" She asked her friend who still had a hold of her head.

Jack laughed and hugged her before answering her questions, "You took a spill into a frozen lake we didn't know we were walking on," He helped her up and out of the water, "The Doctor jumped in an got you out but you were unconscious so we brought you back here into the water so you'd stay a little warmer until you woke up." Jack knew it wasn't his place to tell Rose about Bad Wolf.

Rose walked over to The Doctor who had perched himself along one side of the pool. She threw her arms around his neck, "Always saving me, you are."

"I will always save you, Rose." He hugged her back tightly.

"And, you are nearly a block of ice yourself!" She rubbed his forearms as if trying to warm them up, "I'm going to grab a shower and put on some warm, dry cloths. I'm a bit tired." She told both the men, "Thank you, Doctor." She smiled at him before leaving.


This is it, the start to my adventure. I just wanted to create a world where The Doctor and Rose could always travel together. And I had to put Jack in the mix because he's Jack! I hope you will stick around and give me advice on my story here. I do have a few others written/in the works but if you have any ideas of your own I would love to hear them! Part Two to this is already written and will be up shortly. Thank you! :)
