Rose was getting a little bit impatient with the Doctor. It was 9:30 pm, and if they didn't arrive home by 10:00 pm. Then, when they showed up, Jackie would be standing at the front door complaining, "Where 've you been?! You've been gone for days?!" The Doctor was pressing buttons here and there on the TARDIS control panel. "How far away are we from my mums?" Rose asked, rubbing her eyes. "Dunno," The Doctor replied. "Probably a few minutes?" Lets hope so, Rose thought.

She sat down on the couch, next to the TARDIS. She started to feel really tired, and the Doctor could see it in her eyes. They started to close. She tried to keep them open. But, her body wouldn't let her. "You OK?" The Doctor asked. "Yeah," Rose said in between a yawn. "I'm fine, just ….. tired."

Rose could feel her eyes closing even more. But, she didn't try to cease the sense of tiredness that was overcoming her. She just let her head lay down on one of the pillows next to her, and in a minute or two. She was fast asleep. At first, the Doctor was a little confused. He never had grasped the understanding of sleep. Well, I can't just leave her here, the Doctor thought. Tenderly, he picked up Rose, and carried her down the hall to her room. The Doctor stopped at the pink, wooden door.

Gently, he brushed off the dust that clung to the door.(for so many years.) It had a gold plate that read "Rose." "I haven't been in this room in years." The Doctor murmured. Even if the TARDIS had regenerated. Rose's room would still be there. The (proper) Doctor had saved her room onto a file in the TARDIS mainframe. The day that Rose left, the Doctor had been so depressed and angry.

That he took the key, locked it, and threw it across the hallway in rage. Never to enter into there again. Until now, the question was. Where was the key now? The Doctor set Rose on the floor very quietly. He crouched on his hands and knees. "Now," The Doctor exclaimed, as he crawled across the floor. "Where did you get to?" A pink shimmering glow came across the Doctor's face. Then, he looked up. At the end of the hallway, in the left corner was the pink, and dusty key.

"Ah, there you are!"The Doctor declared as he grabbed it, and stood up. The key fit perfectly into the door. The Doctor took a deep breath, then opened the door slowly. It was exactly the same as she'd left it. He carefully lifted Rose off the hard, wooden floor.

Rose moaned as the Doctor laid her in bed. She had a hard couple days. Fighting monsters and saving the parallel universe. Before the Doctor closed the door behind him he said, "Goodnight Rose." With a smile, he shut the door. Down the hall he went, hands in his brown pin-stripped suit. Back to the main control room, as he red sneakers squeaked.

It was midnight by the time they set foot in Jackie's flat, Rose was put in her own bed. And Jackie's mum was having it out with the Doctor. "Well, do you have an explanation for this?" Jackie scowled. "No....not really." The Doctor said, kind of childishly. "You better pray this doesn't happen again!" Jackie mouthed, as she went down the hall, and into her room..(She was too tired to yell at the Doctor this early in the morning.) "Yes mum." The Doctor smiled.

Jackie peeked her head out, "Don't." Jackie sounded serious. The head of Jackie slowly disappeared back into her room. The Doctor was all alone now. He sat at the dinning table, taping his fingers. When he opened a little book that sat next to him. He decided to keep his mind occupied by doing a bit of Sudoku. He pulled out a pencil in his front pocket, and set to work. A few minutes into it, he heard a noise. Thump, thump, thump.

The Doctor looked up at the ceiling. It was coming from the crawlspace. The Doctor thought it was nothing, maybe it just a couple rats, yeah! Huge rats at the very least. But, he thought the sound was very strange. Like it was calling him. He wanted to just go up there and search the place for the mysterious noise. But, that meant rearranging Jackie's house, and you didn't want to do that when she's around.(Unless you wanted a good yelling.) Better not. The Doctor thought, as he went back to his puzzle book.
