Hey everyone!

"There's something in the air, something's coming."
"What?"
"A storm's approaching."

Rose Tyler sat on the bench in the console room as the Doctor flitted about, muttering to himself as he operated the controls. The familiar whirring noise echoed off the walls mid-monologue and she knew that they had left again. Where to, she wasn't sure. The Doctor would let her know later - either that or they'd both find out after they landed - Rose was well used to it by now. Completely unpredictable, he was, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Although she'd tried not to let it faze her, the Doctor's words from earlier just kept ringing in her head. What did he mean? She couldn't shake the feeling that something major was about to happen, and that things were going to change quite drastically sometime soon.
"Rose, are you all right?" She nearly jumped when she realized the Doctor was right in front of her, frowning. The whirring had stopped as well. No wonder it was so quiet all of a sudden.
"Um, yeah," she replied. "I'm fine, thanks. Just thinking, is all."
"Are you sure?" he raised an eyebrow when she nodded. "Did you want to talk about it?"
"Nah, don't worry. It's been a bit of a long day..." she trailed off.
"It has, hasn't it..." Rose nearly sighed in relief that he didn't press further. "Why don't you go get some rest? We can't have you nodding off out of nowhere, can we?"
Usually she'd banter with him for a while after they'd come back onto the TARDIS at the end of an adventure, but she was too distracted at the moment to do so. She knew the Doctor noticed it, too. He appeared to be watching her intently, as if she was some puzzle he couldn't figure out.
"Yeah, Doctor," she replied. "That could be disastrous." She yawned, surprising herself as her jaw clicked. "Good night, then."
He smiled softly. "'Night, Rose." She smiled back.
Rose turned and entered the narrow corridor outside of the console room, replaying the day's events in her head. The Doctor wasn't the only one who'd said such ominous words to her recently. What if that beast at the black hole was right? It was possible that whatever it was the Doctor saw - maybe it would mean her death. She was supposed to ignore it, but after being told something like that, especially after hearing the Doctor not too long ago - maybe it knew...
No. Rose shook her head slightly, as if the action could drive such thoughts away. Hadn't they experienced rough times before? Who was to say that it would be any different this time around? They had faced the Cybermen and the Daleks, and the Doctor was able to fix the situation, so why not this time too?
She paused in front her room, hand hovering over the door handle. Although it was certain that she'd dream about all of this later, Rose knew that they weren't real. After everything that she'd been through while traveling with the Doctor, she'd make sure that her fears and concerns would stay that way. Whatever came later would come and they would deal with it together, same as always. Besides, it was still another adventure waiting to happen, wasn't it?
With that thought, Rose smiled to herself and opened the door.

Okay, so I have this story idea that's been rattling about in my head for a while and it won't leave me alone. I've found nothing like it so far in my keyword searches here so I'm quite sure that this will be original. This is going to be one of those SYOCs I've seen so few of on this fandom and it will be a bit of an experiment for me; it's also my first fic in this category. Basically submit one to me via PM and include anything you deem important for your character. I don't know how many I'll need just yet, but I'll tell you when I have enough.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you like the story,
Shadowcaster01
