CHAPTER 2 - The New Tardis

I woke up feeling dizzy. His face on top of mine, slapping lightly on my cheeks. "Rose?"

I flapped my lids a few times to make sure of my consciousness. I looked up at the Doctor, he is squatting by my side but his face is dark on the edges looking at the horizon. His hair is still the same spiked up mess but his eyes are left with no enthusiasm at all. No madness, they are just… sad. "What happened?"

"I think I failed," he claims with a little twinkle on his eye. Is it a tear? "There's no Tardis, there's just the street."

I look around. The street indeed… Lamplights on top of concrete and concrete on top of buildings, Zepplins flying about and a couple of telephone red cabins stood alone.

I sit on the ground to face him "I'm sorry." Then, I hug him, utterly involve myself in his arms and then he sheds his tear, for it is a tear.

"I'm going to call mum she'll come and pick us up." I fumble through my pockets and realise my phone is gone. I must have left it at the Zepplin I think and then an idea comes to my mind. I look around. "Doctor, where's the Zepplin?"

"I don't know"

"What do you mean you don't know? Where is it?" he looks at me and the sadness turns into alarm.

We both have the same reaction and look for it in the surroundings, running up the street and shoving our heads to every side. I stop after some tiring research to determine "I think if it were here in front of us, we would have seen it. Blimey, I can't believe we lost a Zepplin!" I'm not mad I'm worried. "Dad's gonna kill us!"

The Doctor stops to lean on his legs and take some deep breaths "There's two options." He starts "It disintegrated with the Tardis coral, or…"

"Or what?" I insist.

"It worked and the Tardis is out there somewhere."

"And how can we find it?"

"We need a ride?..." he tries o guess. I hit his arm, now I'm mad.

"We better." I run inside a random telephone cabin waiting to find a phone with which I can call my parents and get out of such a disappointing street. The Doctor remains outside, thinking. That's when I call for him.

"Doctor?"

"Mm?"

"Get in here!" I beg.

"Rose… There's no time for fooling around in the telephone booth."

"DOCTOR!" I desperately call.

"Okay I'm going!"

And as soon as he enters the red box he knows why I'm screaming.

"No!" he says.

"Oh yes!" I look at him. Hope in my heart. "It's bigger on the inside."

His eyes meet mine and then he kisses me, a warm and long kiss surrounded by bluish and red machinery. A hand full of levers and screens stand aside and a big pillar in the middle holds the New Tradis together.

"We did it!" he says after pulling me back.

"Where shall we go first?" I ask not wanting to wait.

"Oh Rose Tyler, we are going to explore the world and then we're gonna die old with a life full of memories. We are going to be the Doctor and Rose again. And we are going to be brilliant."
