Part 1

Barcelona!

"Barcelona!" it rolled off The Doctor's tongue "Barcelona!" he dashed around the TARDIS console as Rose and Donna stood watching, suitcases laid at their feet.

"The planet with dogs?" Rose frowned "Dogs with no noses? Seriously?".

"Planet?" Donna screwed her face up "Barcelona's in Spain!".

"Oh no, there's a planet called Barcelona" The Doctor nodded "At first, began out with its original inhabitants as dogs with no noses... Dogs that may have descended from Earth settlers...".

"Earth Settlers?" Rose and Donna stared.

The Doctor looked up, weary at explaining "By the year 5006, the Human Colony had already moved out into Mutter's Spiral... So, if I'm right..." he shrugged "And I'm very rarely wrong... the planet Barcelona should be completely inhabited by Humans! And some dogs, mind you..." he grinned.

"Future, future, future, future humans?" Donna gaped.

"Yes" The Doctor nodded, then frowned "But do that 5006 times and you're getting there".

"Is it sunny?" Rose asked curiously.

"Hotter than your average hot" The Doctor replied "Don't worry, we'll get complimentary sun-cream at..." he frowned "Wherever we're staying...".

Donna gripped the railings and grinned "Let's go then!".

"Let's go then!" The Doctor beamed. He pulled on a lever and the TARDIS went whizzing through time and space.

"Oh my god" Rose stepped out the TARDIS and then back in.

The Doctor and Donna waited outside with the suitcases. The planet Barcelona was actually a lot like the one in Spain. It had a bright burnt red sky, distant dry trees, triangle shaped buildings, black sand and green grass as walk-ways and many over-exposed people walking no-nosed dogs on leashes.

"Gotta love Barcelona" Donna grinned, looking around.

"Oh come on, Rose!" The Doctor cried "It's not that hot".

"Yes it flipping is!" Rose had reappeared, her jacket gone and top unbuttoned half way down.

The Doctor stared, eyeing the bead of sweat that had run down her neck jealously.

"Doctor?" Rose frowned, suddenly feeling very self-conscious.

"Huh?" his eyes shot back up dangerously "Where was I? Oh yes, Barcelona!" he dashed off.

Donna smirked.

"What?" Rose cried.

"Oh nothing" Donna rolled her eyes and picked up her suitcases, following after The Doctor.

"Wait up then" Rose sighed, flinging her bag over her shoulder, walking hesitantly towards The Doctor and Donna.

"You, Time Lord" Donna began as they waited in an elevator "Are a cheap date!".

The Doctor shrugged "Look, they only had two rooms left... Would ya want me to do? Call the police?".

"You missed out a very important part" Donna folded her arms "I said we should have gone to that 5-star hotel but no! You pointed us in the direction of a run-down cheap get-out motel!".

"History happens here, Donna" The Doctor smiled happily, glancing at a frustrated and flustered Rose.

"You okay, Rose?" The Doctor frowned.

Rose waved her hand over her chest like a fan and let out a seductive growl "No... I've been feeling a little..." she gasped "...Hot since we got here".

"I'm fine" Donna blinked.

"Mild atmospheric change" The Doctor shrugged causally, ignoring Rose's whimper and obvious cleavage. That girl was going to be the death of him.

The elevator pinged and The Doctor was the first be out, glancing around the doors. He handed Donna a key with the number 14 on it.

"I'm 13" The Doctor grinned, looking down at his key.

"14!" Rose ran towards the door, craving a shower. A very, very cold shower...

"So, what'd ya wanna do tonight?" The Doctor asked, opening his door "How about we get settled and then meet downstairs for dinner? We could go sight-seeing...".

"Sounds great" Donna replied, letting Rose take the key to open the door. "See you downstairs" she added before shutting the door behind her.

The Doctor stared after Rose for several moments before he opened his door and went inside.

"Rose?" Donna gaped "What is wrong with you?".

Rose padded across the room, her hair pulled up into a high pony-tail and dressed in only her underwear. "...I don't know, Donna... When we got here, yeah I was hot but... Then we entered this place and I... can't breathe" she ran towards the window and opened it, baring her body to the hot wind and several surprised walkers-by.

"Rose!" Donna pulled her away from the window "What's gotten into you?".

Rose stared and then frowned "I don't know, Donna... You're right, what the hell was I thinking?".

"Why don't you go have a shower?" Donna raised an eyebrow.

"Oh no" Rose shook her head, opening her bag to pull a floaty loose summer dress "I don't trust myself naked right now...".

"Okay, ew" Donna pulled a face "Are you sure you're okay..? Do you want me to fetch The Doctor?".

Rose snorted "That'd be worse!" she unzipped the yellow strapless dress and slipped inside "I think..." she zipped the side of the dress up and walked into the bathroom to make sure it was okay "...That seeing any man would set me off...".

"Yeah right" Donna muttered.

"What?" Rose called.

"Nothing" Donna replied "Anyway, you ready?".

Rose pushed a hair-band into place on her head and slipped on her white sandals "Ready...".

"Barcelona, it is!" Donna grinned.

The Doctor had checked his simple room out within 5 minutes and was now strolling through the reception main area. The room had contained a double bed, two cabinets, a very old bathroom, one window, one working television, one wardrobe and one very questionable painting of a royal alien. He glanced over to the elevator clerk, receptionist and customers by the chairs, talking. Something behind him caught his eyes interestingly.

Two men were having an intense argument. The Doctor situated himself in front of them, pretending to read the leaf-let stall.

"Me? Me? I'm not the one who refused to destroy it and then let it loose on a bunch of unwitting humans!".

"Oh shut up, Klum... I think you're being a little over-dramatic... We all know that the only people who come here, come here for orgies, affairs, threesomes... Blah, blah, blah... People in love are so not going to come here... So, nothing to worry about, yeah?".

"If it does... If, if... Won't you feel anything? A little shred of guilt, knowing that we killed someone?".

"Yes, I would... But it's not going to happen so... There you go. Anyway, even if I wanted too, it's already out into the air... That's what it takes... 48 hours to dissolve... So, we'll just stick around and see...".

"He doesn't want anyone killed, it's just a test...".

"Fine. If anyone here is showing symptoms then we'll just take them until it's over. It's really that simple. You worry too much, Klum...".

The Doctor moved on forwards. Something was happening in the motel and as usual, they were at the height of it. Just as he was formulating a plan to get himself introduced to the two men, Rose and Donna appeared from the elevator.

The Doctor's hearts stopped, his throat went dry and his eyes flashed dangerously dark. Rose hadn't seen him yet, swaying her hips from side to side, attracting some attention from the men in the motel.

Donna walked beside her, winking to a guy who grinned at her. She spotted The Doctor and they walked in his direction.

"Did you see that guy?" Donna grinned "That guy winked at me... I think I'm in".

"What about dinner and sight-seeing?" Rose asked, refusing to acknowledge The Doctor's amused stare at her breasts.

"Can we do it tomorrow?" Donna begged "Please?" she glanced at The Doctor.

"Yeah" The Doctor nodded, turning "Yeah, sure... Me and Rose can just... Go to the bar".

"Cheers, love ya!" Donna turned and walked off towards the guy.

"Bar" Rose affirmed her smile and walked towards the small bar. She sat on a stool and The Doctor sat down on one next to her "Doctor? Is it possible to be feeling..." she paused.

"Feeling?" The Doctor asked. His hearts started pounding. Was she going to tell him she loved him again?

A bar-maid approached them and Rose closed her mouth. "Hi, can I get you anything?" the bar-maid asked "The drinks are free til midnight".

"Orange juice for me" The Doctor beamed.

"Make mine a whiskey" Rose added. She paused "Wait, make it a double" she caught The Doctor staring at her.

"What?" Rose shrugged as the bar-maid made the drinks.

"Nothing" The Doctor shook his head, shrugging "Just didn't know you...".

"What? Relaxed on holiday with the occasional drink?" Rose finished for him.

"Are you feeling alright?" The Doctor narrowed his eyes.

Rose leaned back, sighing "Sorry... It's nothing... I just..." the bar-maid gave them their drinks and walked off. Rose grabbed her shot of whiskey and downed it, wincing as it ran down her throat.

The Doctor merely raised his eyebrows and sipped his orange juice lightly. "So... You were saying something about feeling... Feeling what?".

Rose paused. Should she tell The Doctor that ever since she got here, the urge to jump his bones had become stronger and stronger? No, that would be very awkward...

"Oh really?" Rose forced a smile "I can't remember..." she looked away.

The Doctor refused to take his eyes off her in a heated stare. Something was happening to her. And it frightened him that he didn't know what.
