I decided to update again because, yes, I got bored... I know, I'm not very forceful... But I did get a review! :)

Rose awoke at nine the next morning, to find that she had slept in her socks and even her trainers!

'I hope I don't get foot fungus.'she thought angrily, sitting up, smoothing her ruffled hair and reapplying her mascara with a tube that she carried in her pocket.

"Rose, it's Sylvia." a voice called through the door. " Donna's left already, so you can come down and eat some breakfast before Wilfred drives you to Cardiff."

Rose didn't know how Sylvia had known she was awake, but shrugged it off and went downstairs.

"Mornin' Rose!" Wilfred called, reading the paper and sipping his coffee nonchalantly. "You sleep well last night?"

Rose grumbled, sat down, and began to eat the toast and sausage that was put in front of her. When she was finished, she washed her plate in the sink and Wilfred stood up.

"See ya later, Sylvia!" he called, snatching a set of keys from off the table. Rose couldn't help but notice that there was a key chain that read World's Greatest Mother attached to the ring.

"You had better not have stolen my car keys again, Dad." Sylvia called, and Wilfred and Rose hurried out the door.

They got into the little blue car and drove off, just before Sylvia stepped outside to get the mail.

"Whoa, that was close." Wilfred said jokingly, but his expression turned darker when he saw Rose was almost hyperventilating and in tears. "What's wrong?"

"Sorry, it reminds me of him."

"Oh!" Wilfred said, his worried expression clearing when seeing that Rose distracted herself by humming to the radio. "It's gonna be another hour or two, you could use some rest. Uneasy sleep?"

"Where did you get that idea?" Rose asked, sitting up straight and looking out the front windshield. Two black, sagging pockets had formed under her eyes and she was dozing off every few minutes.

"I'm fine."

And with that, her head fell against the passenger window and she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

When she awoke, they were zooming through the streets of Cardiff, and Rose was directing Wilfred towards a building that sort of combined with a dock, except it had a tall stone structure, a kind of statue, in front of it.

"Thanks for everything, Wilfred." Rose said to him, getting out of the car and looking at him through the open door.

"Don't mention it, Sweetheart." he said, winking. "I'm gonna go buy myself a web cam."

Rose looked confused for a moment and then smiled.

"You don't know when it might come in handy." She called, and reached through the car to give him a hug. "See ya later."

She slammed the door behind her and walked towards the side entrance to the building.

When she entered, there was a tall, dark haired man sipping coffee at the receptionist's desk.

"Hello, Ianto Jones, what is your business here?" he asked, introducing herself to her as if she was just some random speck that was in his way.

"Ianto, is Jack here?" she asked and Ianto looked surprised.

"Of course, right this way miss..." he paused, unable to complete the saying because she had not yet given him her name.

"Rose." she told him confidently. "Rose Tyler."

Ianto pushed a button on the desk and the brick wall opposite them and it whirled to the side to reveal a secret passageway. Ianto stood up and led her through the door and down the spiraling staircase. At the bottom, a huge gear rolled out of their way and made something that was unbelievable visible to Rose.

"Welcome to Torchwood, Miss Tyler." Ianto said proudly, and was suddenly surprised when Jack ran forward and gave the blonde woman a hug.

"Rose, what are you doing here?" Jack asked, guiding her to a sofa and sitting her down next to him. "I thought you were with the Doctor?"

"He made me stay with the other one." she replied to him curtly. "And he ruined my life."

"Why, Rose?" he asked, taken aback by her answer.

"Because the only person I was friends with in that world was dead. John was killed by a drunk driver, Jack."

"I'm so sorry, Rose. I'm so sorry." Jack said, pulling her into a hug. "But I know what'll cheer you up!"

"If it has the word naked or strip in it, I don't want to know." Rose said quickly, and Jack was taken aback.

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to see Mickey and Martha." he told her, and as if on cue, they walked hand and hand into the room.
