Part 1: White Cliffs.

Rose stepped out of the TARDIS onto a carpet of lush green grass. She had been here many times before, up on top of the White Cliffs Of Dover, and every time felt as fresh and invigorating as the first.

She looked around and grabbed her long blonde hair as the gusting wind threatened to blow it into her eyes. She saw the Doctor sitting on an iron fence right on the very edge of the cliff, seemingly oblivious to the two hundred foot drop and the gusting wind that was trying valiantly to blow him off the fence. She made her way over to him and leaned on the fence beside him, following his gaze out to sea. "It's a bit fresh out here, ain't it?" She asked cheerfully.

The Doctor grabbed the fence and looked down at her with raised eyebrows. "What you trying to do, have me over the edge?"

"It'd be your own fault anyway, sitting up there like that. They call it a safety fence for a reason you know, cos you're supposed to stay on this side of it," she put two fingers of both hands into the air and bent them to emphasize her words, "where it's safe."

The Doctor looked down at her, a bemused look on his face. "Do you nag everyone like this?" He asked.

"It's the Mother in me." Replied Rose with a grin.

"I don't know how Mickey puts up with it." Said the Doctor, looking out to sea again.

"Oy, I can kick you off that thing you know!" She said with a grin. She grabbed a handful of her hair again as she looked up at him. "What 'are' you doing up there anyway?"

The Doctor nodded out towards the distant horizon with his head. "Just look at it, it's amazing!" He exclaimed in an awed voice.

Rose looked out at the white capped waves of the English Channel and the barely perceptible curve of the distant horizon. "You've stood on planets with three moons in the sky, stood on moons with a planet in the sky, and you think this is amazing?"

"Hey, you don't get views like this everywhere you know. Besides, when you've seen one Tri-moon system, you've seen them all." The Doctor swung his legs over the fence and suddenly made a grab for the fence as he over-balanced towards the cliff edge.

Rose made to grab him before he toppled over. She was on the verge of calling out his name when she saw an impish smile splitting his face.

"I had you then." He said, the smile quickly becoming a grin.

"Nope, no you didn't." Replied Rose as she turned away from him so he couldn't see the blush on her cheeks.

"Yeah I did, I had you. Admit it."

Rose thrust her hands into her jacket pocket as she started back towards the TARDIS. "Nope, you'll have to get up a lot earlier if you want to catch me like that."

"Get up earlier?" Said the Doctor with a frown. "When have you ever seen me sleeping?"

They were still teasing each other when the TARDIS materialised in London a short time later. As Rose headed for the door, she turned to the Doctor. "Are you coming?"

"What, to listen to Mickey The Idiot plead with you to stay with him again? No thanks. I got some work I need to do on the TARDIS."

The beginning of a smile appeared on Rose's face. "He's not that bad you know."

The Doctor looked up from the main console. "No, he's not." He said, a trace of sincerity creeping into his tone. "There's a lot worse than Mickey out there, believe me. Just don't tell him I said that, alright?"

"Promise." Replied Rose with a laugh.

"Now, go tell Mickey how cute 'you' think he is and how much of an idiot 'I' think he is, and I'll see you tomorrow."

Rose smiled as she turned and ran out of the TARDIS.
