"Venice 1457" the Doctor said as he and Rose stepped out of the TARDIS.
"What's in Venice?" She asked him
"Jack is lost in time due to those furies. He's in here, it won't take a minute. You coming?"
"Not after that landing Doctor, I can barely walk."
"Okay, you stay here and don't wander off."
Rose knew she shouldn't have but the gondolas were calling her. Then the town market drew her in and by noon she was lost.
"Bloody glad I'm dressed as a boy." She said quietly to her self walking into a small inn. She shivered at the memory, having to run from a horde of water demons (or the Aqualinucli as the Doctor called them.) in a medieval gown. Inside the first thing that caught her eye was a man brooding in a corner.
"Are you alright." As he looked up he decided he was one of the most beautiful men she had ever met. His chestnut curls framed his face perfectly.
"Yes" He said icily
"Your lying."
"And how would you know that?" He said looking at her for the first time. His pale blue eyes filled with tears.
"My friend. He's exactly like you, always brooding, crying, and screaming so loud during nightmare it frightens me, but no matter how many times I ask the answer is 'I'm always fine.'"
"And, you are comparing a close friend to a man you've just met?"
"Yes" Rose said confidentially. The man in the green frock coat looked at her again with sad old eyes.
"You're right" he said with a defeated tone.
The Doctor was impressed, eight lives in and he had never met some one who could call his BS. Whomever this girl was; she was unique.
"Wait, how did you know I was a girl?" Well there was an easy question to answer.
"The eyes are the windows to the soul." He said
"So what are you doing so far from home, and in men's clothing no less?" He said guessing she was a time agent.
"My friend and I travel together. I learned to always make sure you can run."
"Him?" This conversation was becoming more and more disappointing by the moment. First Grace refuses to accompany, now he meets a young woman who's company he enjoys even more and she's taken.
"Yes, I travel with two actually." Two? How could he compete? Oh right she travels through time as a time agent with two men, he could give her the traveling through time and space minus the responsibility. Wait! When did he start thinking up ways for possible companions to come even though the odds were against it? When did he ever think of competing for a woman's attention?
"I'm sorry I haven't even introduced myself, my name is Rose Tyler. What's yours?"
"John Bowman, and before we continue our discussion, allow my to buy you a drink first."
He and Jack furiously searched the streets of Venice. Rose was missing. He told her not to wander off but she did anyways, and now he was worried sick. She could have been robbed or worse. The Doctor quickly pushed those thoughts out of his mind and continued searching.
"Doctor." Called Jack.
"It's late; I'm tired, and you're tired despite the Super-Amazingly-Awesome-Superior-Timelord-Biology you claim to have. We can find her in the morning. She's at worst in bed with a pretty boy."
"That's what I'm was afraid of." he muttered. Rose belonged with HIM; not some pretty boy wanna be. But Jack did have a point. He was tired and would never find Rose in this state of mind.
"Okay we'll head back, but we continue the search first thing in the morning."
"Thanks Doc."
Even in the TARDIS the Doctor couldn't shake the déjà-vu feeling he had here. Something was wrong.

Five drinks in and Rose was feeling woozy. John was so kind, smart, and funny. He was so much like the Doctor, except, happier. And before she knew it her cap fell of and he was snogging her senseless. That's when she found herself in a bed. That night, was the night when her entire world was changed forever, she just didn't know it.
Hello, this is my first Fanfic ever so please review. More reviews mean more chapters. Yes I know they're a bit OOC but still.
