Dreams part 1
Her eyes burned with cold tears, her face was scrunched up in pain, and her hair was a mess. Her nose ran, her eyeliner dripped down her hot, wet face. She closed her eyes, the nightmare echoing in her head.
"Will I ever see you again?" Says Rose as she fights tears.
"You can't." Says the Doctor, his head shaking and his eyes glazing over with emotion.
The dream is horrible. Rose is stuck on Earth with no way of getting back to the Doctor, and when she finally tells him she loves him, he answers in the most Doctor-ish way.
"Quite right too." But he makes it slightly better, but all the more painful, "And I suppose, it's my last chance to say it. Rose Tyler-" And then he vanishes, leaving Rose alone on a strange beach.
Her eyes won't open. They're weighed down with tears, she can hear the hum of the Tardis around her, but she needs to know he's there.
"Doctor!" She calls into the darkness. She hears him running through the halls.
"Rose? Rose what's wrong?" He flings the door open and sees her curled up in her bed crying fiercely. "Rose what is it? What's happened?"
She moves her arms around until she finds the Doctor's hand on her back trying to soothe her and pulls him in a hug.
"Oh God, you're here. Doctor. Oh thank god."
"Of course I'm here, why? What's wrong?"
"Oh god I dreamt- I dreamt-"
"It wasn't about the Beast was it Rose? Because I told you yesterday, it lied." The Doctor said quickly.
"No. No, I was trapped on some beach and you said we'd never see each other again and then you disappeared." She sobs into his shoulder.
"Oh honey, honey, Rose honey, it's okay, it was just a dream. Come here."
She crawls into his lap and rocks herself into a calm state. After ten minutes she sits up and tilts her head so it rests against his shoulder.
"Ow." Said Rose moving her hand to her head.
Great my nightly headache is back yet again. Rose thought.
"Damn, why do I get these headaches all the time?" She said.
"What?" Asked the Doctor quickly.
"Oh, just every night when we watch a movie or I have a shower or when I'm going to bed, I get a killer headache."
"Really, well that's odd, I can't see why you'd be getting headaches, you're not dehydrating are you? I know how you humans need so much water and…" He carried on like this for a bit.
"Doctor you're rambling again." Rose says into his neck, as tiredness reclaims her.
"What. Oh. Yeah. Sorry."
Rassilon, oh Rassilon, oh damn. Thought the Doctor, How am I supposed to tell her what those headaches are, how does she even get them! I mean she's human, even telepathic beings can't feel it unless they're Gallifreyan. Wait. No. No. She can't have changed after absorbing the time vortex, can she? Oh Rassilon, what am I gonna do? I shouldn't even be causing her to have these headaches. It's against all my Doctor/Companion rules.
Rose then forces the Doctor to lie down on her bed and cuddles into him, falling asleep to the sound of his double heartbeat.

"And it takes a lot of power to send this projection- I'm in orbit around a supernova. I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye." Says the slightly transparent Doctor.
"You look like a ghost." Rose says, confusion evident in her voice.
"Hold on." Says the Doctor and he takes out the sonic screwdriver, points it in the air, and his form defines.
"Can I t-" asks Rose, stepping forward and moving her arm towards the Doctor's face.
"I'm still just an image, no touch."
"Can't you come through properly?" Her voice cracks slightly.
The Doctor shakes his head sadly, "The whole thing would fracture. Two universes would collapse."
"NO!" Yells Rose as she wakes up in the Doctor's arms.
"Rose it's ok, calm down. Go splash your face with water and I'll make a cup of tea, and if you want we can talk about it in the kitchen." Rose stood up unsteadily, tears still pouring down her face. "On second thought, I'll get you something a bit stronger."
"Thanks." Sniffed Rose and she walked into her bathroom. The Doctor got up and walked to the kitchen where he saw the Tardis had placed two glasses, a cold bottle of gin, a cold bottle of tonic water, and a cold bottle of vodka. He poured two strong G&T's, and placed them on the table. Rose walked in and they sat at the table.
"Thanks Doctor, I need this." Said Rose and she sculled down her drink.
"So, this nightmare. Explain it to me again." Said the Doctor as Rose poured herself a stronger G&T.
"Ok, this one was different than the first but similar. I'm on a beach, and you're there but you're see-through. And you said something about burning up a sun, and you're only a hologram or something, and I ask if you can ever come through properly – don't know what that means though – and you said if you do two universes will collapse. But the one I had earlier, I'm asking you if I'll ever see you again, and you say I can't. Then you say you're gonna live on, the same life, without me, while I live on earth. And I, I, I say something and you don't say it back. Then you disappear. And I'm alone on that weird beach."
"This hasn't got anything to do with Sarah does it?" Asked the Doctor.
"I don't think so."
"Rose you know I would never do that to you. I will let you stay here with me for as long as you li- as long as you want."
"It's not that."
"What is it then?"
"In the dream I have this weird feeling. Like there's something you need to know but I can't tell you, like I'm lying to stop you from suffering." She downed her second drink. And soon enough she was finishing off her fourth, fifth, she started having ridiculously large shots of straight gin before starting to share the bottle of vodka that didn't seem to run out. Then she and the Doctor lay on the floor, drunk out of their minds.
"You're real cute you know Rose." Slurred the Doctor, "Real sexy. I could lose control one day and fuck you in the control room." He said, emphasising the 'fuck'. Rose giggled a loud and shrill laugh.
"You're not so bad yourself. Cassandra was right, you're foxy. And I think it's hot." She laughed some more. She rolled over and went to grab the bottle but missed and knocked the Doctor's arm causing him to drop it; it spilt all down his front before smashing on the ground.
"Look what you did!" Said the Doctor pointing at a point on the ground five feet from the puddle of vodka.
"Argh, I'm gonna get all wet!" Rose squealed and she jumped up, the Doctor then rolled in the puddle and started to chase Rose trying to hug her so she'd get wet too.
He finally cornered her in her bedroom where she sat on her bed.
"Got ya!" said the Doctor as he jumped on her, pinning her to the bed. He grinned his lopsided grin as she squealed and squirmed; only achieving to get wetter. When she finally realised he had won she smiled back.
"You win."
"I win. I deserve a prize."
"Like what?"
"I dunno. Anything."
"Ok." Said Rose, "Here's your prize." And she pulled him by his tie to her mouth. Surprised at first he quickly relaxed into it. He kissed back, she let him deepen it. They rolled over so Rose was lying on top of the Doctor, she broke the kiss.
"We're all wet." She said.
"Yes."
"I don't like being in wet clothes." She said and before he could say anything she was taking off her nightdress and underwear. She then went under the bed covers. "Don't you wanna get out of those wet clothes too?" She said as though asking if he wanted some tea.
"Yeah." And he stripped off his suit jacket, tie, shirt, pants, boxers, shoes, and socks then crawled in next to Rose. She moves over and cuddled into him, both unaware to the intimacy of cuddling nude, in bed.
"Goodnight Doctor." Says Rose with a yawn.
"Goodnight Rose," He paused for second, "I love you." But she was already asleep.
