Title: Be Your Parachute

Characters: the Doctor (as John Smith), Rose Tyler, Amelia Pond, Donna Noble, Rory Williams, Jackie Tyler, Jack Harkness, Mickey Smith & various others

Pairings: John&Rose (Amy&Rory)

Short plot: John Smith, a clever analyst gets a job at Torchwood. He gets to know the boss's daughter, Rose Tyler, and slowly their realtionship starts to build up, but not without complications

Warning: This is basically completely AU. So if things don't match up to the way they are in Doctor Who, that's not a mistake made by me, it's a part of the story. At least that's the way I intended it. In this story the Doctor's an ordinary, but extremly smart, man named John Smith. And Torchwood and the other characters are different in many ways to the way they are in the show. So if you have a problem with that, don't read this fic.

Author's note: This fic is basically based on the idea of how I thought the Doctor&Rose were before I started properly watching Doctor Who. It was quite out of place with the actual story, but it did create this story, so, I suppose it's ok. Enjoy! Comments are always welcome! :) and this is a multi-part fic. This is only chapter one, and I intend to continue. So it might get better. Stay tuned!

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who or the song Parachute by Train where the title was inspired from

John Smith was an analyst. He was hired to work for Torchwood, a secret company that dealt with aliens and such.

After he had went to see the manager, or rather, was scowled at by her, Jackie Tyler, he was told to go see Rose Tyler. John assumed she was Jackie's daughter.

He had gotten the number of her flat downtown in Leeds, where the Torchwood office was, but wasn't exactly sure why he needed to go see her during her day off.

As he got to the apartment, he knocked on the door, but no one answered. He decided to go for it and turned the doorknob. It was unlocked.

He looked into the apartment and called out "Hello?"

No answer.

He looked around a bit, and then saw a woman staring at him, her back turned to him, but her beautiful face staring at him from the mirror right in front of her. She was only wearing a white towel, and John felt himself blush.

"Oh, hello", he choked out and remained still – careful not to make her alarmed.

"Hello", the woman said slowly, and a small smile played across her lips, but she didn't let it take over.

"I was.. I was looking for Rose Tyler", John said weakly and gestured at the piece of paper where Jackie had written the address of her daughter's flat.

"You found her", Rose said calmly, still not turning to him, only staring through the mirror.

"Uh.. I'm John."

"Rose", the young woman broke into a smile.

"Yeah..", John couldn't help but to smile himself. He folded the piece of paper and put it in his pocket.

"Nice to meet you", Rose kept smiling, and still refusing to turn to him.

"Likewise", he nodded.

Then she got up from her seat and turned to him. "Just give me a minute, will ya?" and then she left the room.

John looked around the flat. It was proper fancy, for a flat in Leeds, but it was really no wonder. Jackie Tyler seemed like a very proud, rich woman, and if Rose was her daughter...

"Torchwood, right? Amy told me they'd hired a new analyst..." John heard Rose's voice from the room next door, most likely her bedroom.

"Uh... Yeah. Listen, I'm sorry to burst in on you like this, Mrs. Tyler just told me to come and see you", John explained.

"She prefers Miss Tyler", Rose gave him a friendly smile as she got out of her bedroom. She was now wearing some jeans, a top and her hair was still slightly wet. "My dad died a long time ago."

"Oh, I'm sorry", John honestly didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry about it. Did she give you some documents or something?" Rose asked, her hands extended, waiting to be given something.

"Yes", he got a piece of paper out of his pocket.

"Right", Rose took a pen from her pocket and wrote something on the paper. "Yeah, so, I'm in charge of basically everything my mum isn't at Torchwood, so it's my job to walk you through the habits and what not. Obviously she didn't care it was my day off", Rose muttered the last part, her eyes still on the paper.

"I'm sorr-"

"Shh!" Rose eyed the paper, and then looked up. "It's not your fault or anything. Mum doesn't trust anyone else than me with this stuff. She said blood's thicker than water. She always says that", She turned back to the paper and wrote something else.

John just stayed quiet. He didn't want to be shushed at again.

"Okay, so, how about we do this? You give me a half an hour and then we can meet at the office, right? I've got to get ready", she looked back up at him.

"Sure", John nodded.

Rose chuckled and grabbed his hand and wrote her number on it. "If you get lost, call me. Or ask for me. If you see Amelia Pond, don't be frightened. She can be a little aggressive", and with that she gave him one last glance and headed back to the bedroom.

Reviews? :) Chapter 2 will be up soon!
