Prologue :)

Rose and the Doctor are back in the TARDIS again the way it should be. This time Donna is there too, but Rose and Donna get on so well. Donna has become Rose's best finally had someone with her when she was missing home; she had someone to cry to when life in the TARDIS was getting too tough for she had decided to go back to the Doctor, she had had to leave her mum, dad and her little brother behind; she would never see him again. Tony would grow up without her, but giving her life to the Doctor and the TARDIS was so worth it that Rose had to say goodbye to him regardless. Did she miss her family? Of course she did. But over the past two years she had missed the Doctor even more.

"Doctor." Rose had said. Hands deep in her pockets, acting like a sullen teenager as she walked around the TARDIS console

"Yes, Rose?" The Doctor said, looking up from the TARDIS.

"Did you ... did you miss me when I was ...away?" Rose asked, on tender hooks.

The Doctor took her in his arms and held her close.

"Oh yes, every single day. I thought about you all the time. I couldn't stop."

Rose smiled at the Doctor.

"I know you can't give me everything, but I just want it to be different this time; I don't just want to be your best friend, I want to be your partner. You know how I feel about you but you've never once told me if you feel the same."

"Rose Marion Tyler." The Doctor said, taking a deep breath. "I love you and I always, always will. Things will get in our way, but I promise that I will always remind you of how much I care. I won't see your heart break ever again."

Rose had tears in her eyes. She blinked them away furiously, although she didn't know why she bothered. This time they were there because she was happy, not because she had lost the Doctor and been forced to watch, helpless, as her world fell apart. The Doctor moved her fringe out of her face and tucked it back behind her ear, smiling tenderly at the beautiful woman standing in front of smiled at him and he pulled her close. She kissed him and he kissed back. For that moment-,that tiny, tiny moment- there was only them and each other. So involved were they in each other that they didn't even notice when Donna walked into the TARDIS.

"Can you two please put each other down?" Donna had walked in through the TARDIS after getting some more clothes from home. The Doctor muffled a despairing sigh.

That woman sure had a knack for killing moments. Must get it from her mother.

The Doctor and Rose burst out in nervous, self-conscious laughter; breaking apart immediately at Donna's intrusion, but keeping their hands joined.

"Donna." Rose said. "I can tell this is going to be so much fun with you." She let go of the Doctor's hand and pulled Donna into a hug.

The Doctor watched Rose and Donna getting on so well with immense satisfaction on his face. He was so happy; he had his best friend and the woman he truly loved; together, connected, safe. Maybe this time everything would work out properly.

The Doctor had promised Rose that he would always show how much he cared, and he truly would. For as long as time allowed him to, he would. He had always applauded the human emotions that he saw in his companions- so brilliant in all their powerful complexity. But there was one that he could never fight. He could never fight jealousy.

Hope you enjoyed the prologue...
