Chapter two of my random story! yay. So I think I decided that this was going to be a longer story than my others. But we shall see. I already know how it ends though! now just to work on the middle.

Rose looked out the window of the bus as it sped down the highway. This Earth was so much like hers it was hard to remember it wasn't the same planet. Same cars, same clothes, same food. Though this one did have a different past, what with the cybermen attacking, and all the blimps. And this world had her dad. But it didn't have the Doctor. Rose sighed; she could never get him out of her head. The Doctor had showed her everything and yet her she was back on the bus, coming home from work. Life had changed. Rain had started to fall, and by the time Rose drifted off to sleep, it was pouring. She awoke to the driver yelling. "EH girl, isn't this your stop?" Rose jumped up, looking around. Everyone else was already off the bus and Rose sat alone. "Yeah, sorry." She dropped some change into the bucket, ready to get off the bus and into bed. The bus had stopped at the end of the Tyler estate, a long curved driveway so long you couldn't even see the house. "Whoa, you're a Tyler?" The blond nodded. "And you're riding public transportation?" She nodded again. The old man laughed, "You could just buy a plane to take you from downtown to here with all your money." Rose got off the bus with the man still laughing as he shut the doors.

Rose started the long walk to her house. She liked riding the bus. It gave her time to think about everything going on in her life. Some days she would find herself crying at her reflection in the window, on other days she would look at random people and compress a laugh. Everyone on bus route 27 in London probably thought she was crazy. But they didn't know her. They didn't know this time last year she was fighting an army of robots and having the time of her life. And now she was stuck here, away from it all. If you were Rose Tyler, you would have a rough time adjusting to a normal life too.

By the time Rose got to the wooden front doors, she was soaked. Her messy bun was even messier and her clothes were soaking wet, they made her shiver. Harry, the doorman greeted her. "Mss. Tyler, I could have brought the town car around if you called." He held out a towel, which Rose took. "The cold doesn't bother me." She replied, before heading upstairs. She quickly undressed and hopped in the shower. The warm water welcomed her and Rose never wanted to leave it. But she did, because Jackie Tyler was yelling on the intercom. "Rose, can you hear me? Rose? Can you go get some more baby food? Rose? Tony's hungry." Rose rolled her eyes, ever since her brother had been born; her mom had Rose running all over town to get her stuff. At least this time it was something for the actual baby.

Rose got dressed again and with her hair still dripping, she stepped back into the raining weather. But this time, she had her driver. "Just pull up to the curb. It shouldn't take that long. Sorry you had to come out Allen." He mumbled something as Rose shut the door. Rose went right to the baby section, grabbing some random flavored food before rushing to the checkout. Luckily, since it was already nine, the store was almost empty. Rose found herself jealous of all those at home sleeping. "How many items?" The young man asked with a smile. He had blond hair and deep green eyes, maybe fresh out of college. Rose placed the cans on the scanner. "How are you today?" He asked. Rose looked at his tag. It read; Hello, my name is JOHN. John. That was the name the Doctor always used. "I'm fine. Tired." Rose replied. John nodded, he scanned the first item before looking back at Rose. He opened his mouth before looking back down at the cans of baby food. He scanned the second one. "You come in here a lot, always buying baby stuff. You don't look old enough to have a baby and you aren't wearing a ring." He said to the can of peas. Rose glanced down at her left hand. "Sorry, I've just been nosey I guess." Rose gave a hollow laugh. "It's ok, it's all for my little brother. My mum doesn't know she can buy stuff herself." John smiled. "So if you're single, would you like to go out sometime?" Rose almost dropped her wallet. John looked embarrassed. "If you're dating someone-" But Rose cut him off, handing him the money. "No, it's just I had a friend. It was complicated. I thought I knew him, but he would always come back and surprise me. I knew I loved him, and I thought he loved me, but he never told me. He left and I've been missing him ever since." Rose didn't know why she told the stranger this. Maybe because his smile looked welcoming or maybe because she was tired. Maybe Rose just needed to get it out, and he was there, maybe because his name was John. But Rose couldn't take the words back. John nodded slowly. "Geez, I'm sorry." Rose took the plastic bag. She gave a small smile and thanks. As she was walking out the door, walking into rain, the boy ran after her. Catching his breath he told her, "I hope you find somebody. That man is missing out on a great girl." Rose blushed in the light from the cars. John ran back inside before Rose could say anything. As she hailed down Allen, Rose felt her cheeks getting wet. But she didn't know if it was from the rain or from tears.

When Rose got in the car, she wiped her cheeks. "Ok, Allen. Back home it is!" The driver put the car in drive and they pulled out of parking lot. Rose saw the glow of the store's lights glowing behind her as they went into the darkness. And she could have sworn out of the corner of her eye, instead of the sign saying 'Lennons' it said 'Bad Wolf'. But the car turned before Rose's mind could process it.

Reviews are like traveling with the Doctor. (ok... maybe not THAT good. But still. they are pretty nice)
