A/N: This I imagine taking place relatively soon after Rose has started travelling with the Doctor, but once they've become friends.
Sorry it's so short.
Chapter Two: Rose and Nine (190 words)
"What are we waiting for?" Rose asked. She was freezing her bloody arse off, but did the Doctor care? No. He'd just said that they had to be on this bloody planet she couldn't remember the name of. Of course, he'd arrived ninety minutes early, most of which they'd spent outside the TARDIS, waiting for the whatever it was to show.
"Wait," the Doctor said to Rose as if she was being a particularly irksome child. Rose sighed. Then, suddenly, the Doctor pointed to a corner of the sky. "Look!"
A thick band of white streamed across the sky from the right. It was streaked with thin lines of blue and green. Another thick white band, this one streaked with red and orange, raced in to meet it from the left. They collided in the sky in a shower of brilliant colour.
Rose watched the sky in awe until the last images faded from her vision. "That was beautiful." The Doctor smiled. He'd taken her to this uninhabited planet to show her the wonders of the universe she'd re-opened his eyes to.
And beauty like this deserved to be noticed.
