Chapter 1

The TARDIS doors swing open and the Doctor comes out, "Well here we are! The wonderful planet of Snikous!" He turns around and smiles as his current companion Rose walks out the TARDIS doors."this place is brilliant Rose, I'm sure you will enjoy it! The Sniks are marvelous creatures. They are kinda like the classic alien in the books. You know green and tall eye stalks? They are rather friendly! Although there is a legend of a curse from an old Snik that died here centuries ago that can get inside your head."

He turns his head to Rose who's just staring at the sight. "Doctor.. This is.. Beautiful." She looks up at him as he smiles down at her and she returns the smile. She puts a piece of golden hair behind her ear as he has his hands in his coat pockets.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" He grabs her hand as they run down the hill that were standing on. He smiles and looks back and sees Rose laughing and smiling. His smile gets larger at the sound of her laugh.

When they reach the bottom of the hill The Doctor starts to wander around. Rose looks at him, "What are you doing?" She asks.

"Well, I'm just looking around. Same thing as always."

Rose smiles weirdly, "Really? Well, what kind of girl do you like?"

He turns around and faces her oddly and frowns. He then nods and smiles, "Well Rose I like a girl who can be her self. Not some kind of question asking machine." He nudges her arm with his.

Rose still watches him. "Are you 15 years old?"

The Doctor frowns and shifts, "Uh Rose.. Are you okay? You know I'm 903.. If your thinking that we can be together... I cant take that sort of life.. Also, your 19 and I'm 903. I'm not even from this planet." He frowns knowing he wished known of that was true.

Rose Smiles and looks at him, "I am a girl."

The Doctor nods thinking she's just playing with him now. "I know that." He Laughs and grabs her hand. "What are we doing here? Come on!"

Rose doesn't move, "Sur. Law, you are beside the law? Yes, you are more intelligent than me." Rose Laughs and the Doctor looks at her oddly.

"Uh Rose.. Are you okay? You don't seem.. Yourself.." He looks down and into her eyes, her eyes glare up at him lovingly and his are full of concern and a peak of affection. "Rose.. Did you not have anything to eat? We can stop at the sandwich place down the road." She doesn't respond and he starts to worry. He grabs her hand with both of his, "Rose.. Please. I need you to answer this, for me.." He looks down on her scared that something happened to her when he wasn't looking. "Rose, If I lose you I will Never forgive me self.. Now please stop playing and answer me." He hopes ever so much that she's just playing one of her tricks.

"What question?" Rose asks like nothing happened.

"Rose, the question was, are you okay Rose.." He says his voice shaking.

"Rugs? What do you mean?" She asks casually.

"Rose I'm taking you back to the TARDIS." He puts his hands on her cheeks. "Can you walk?"

"Thats not to far from here." She replies with no show of emotion in her voice.

He nods quickly, "Yes Thats why I am asking you if you can walk."

"Do you have a sense of self?"

The Doctor sighs and thinks, What is inside her head..? "Rose I am going to carry you." He looks into her eyes worried and scared. His thoughts echo in his mind, If anything happens to you I will never forgive my self. He gulps and thinks for a moment. He finally sighs and grabs behind her knees and on her neck and picks her up like she's a little kid.

Roses cheeks turn red, "I love you too."

The Doctor's pace quickens with the thought racing in his mind, I would never forgive my self. He now has another though racing along side it, I love you my Rose.. I love you too.. As a single tear goes down his cheek his arms start to weaken. He pushes on knowing the only way she will live is if he gets her to the TARDIS.

Finally they reach the TARDIS and he sets her down in her bed. "What ever is wrong with you Rose I am going to fix it. There is nothing on the surface of this Earth that could stop me.. My Rose.. I promised I would keep you safe and I will. He leans down and kisses her forehead. My Precious Rose..
