The CoD
Chapter 2: The Doctor has an epiphany. ("Whats an epiphany?" "Sudden realisation of great truth.")
Something was wrong. The Doctor knew it. He had asked Mickey hours ago where Rose was. He said she'd gone to bed. So he went to find her. Only he couldn't.
'Tardis!' he telepathically bellowed.
'Yes..?'
'Where in the name of Rassilion is Rose's bedroom?'
'…Around…'
'Are you hiding it from me?'
'…Might be…'
'Then bring it back. NOW!'
'I'm afraid I cannot do that, Doctor.'
'And why might that be?'
'Because she told me not to.'
The Doctor's tone immediately softened.
'…She did..? She…she…she doesn't want to see me? Why not?'
'Hmm…I wonder…' she replied sarcastically.
'What do you mean?'
'What do you think?'
'What…oh.'. "Oh!" he said aloud, switching to speech. "Reinette?"
'Keep your voice down!'
'Oh, okay.' He replied, switching hastily back to thoughts. 'But why would she care? I mean, it's not like she- wait a second! No! NO! NO WAY!'
As this confusing conversation of many truths was in process, Rose sat alone on her bed, dying her tears.
"My old Doctor wasn't like this. He was…different. He would never treat me like this. He got jealous when I met Jack." She chuckled in spite of her feelings, hoping the memories would cheer her up. Instead they made her cry even harder.
(Put line here)
"No! No no no no no!" exclaimed the Doctor, now aloud, with a stupid grin on his face.
'Sorry to interrupt your obvious glee here Doctor, but if you hadn't remembered, Rose is still very upset and annoyed with a certain someone around here, and it certainly isn't Mickey.'
His grin automatically fell to a frown.
Rose got up from her bed so suddenly, she nearly fell over with dizziness, and stood extremely still for a few minutes. After she felt better, she dried the tears from her face and walked over to the door, to find a quiet place to sit. It was better than sitting around moping all day, anyway.
'Doctor!' the Tardis called, interrupting the Doctor's thoughts. 'Rose has just left her room! Go talk to her! Now!'
"Shall I..?"
'GO!'
And with that, he grinned widely and raced out of the door.
