Yes, I really did name this chapter Huh? The next Rose one will be called What? Rose will learn to curb this behaviour given time. Believe me, she will. She may even become a better person by the end through actual character growth, instead of what we actually got in the show. Yay for that.

Huh?

Rose blinked and came back to herself. She supposed she'd get a break in between memories.

She didn't have any idea why that one had been in there. For a start, she hadn't yet started travelling with the Doctor. She had only just met the man, and that wasn't a very good meeting either. Weren't these supposed to be how her mum was affected by her time with the Doctor?

She still had no idea why everyone had fussed over her that night, between Mickey wanting to take her to see his stupid football game, endless phone calls from friends and family and her mum making her cups of tea as if that would help her in some way. Not that she had needed saving, or tea. She had been fine, and yet they hadn't been able to figure that out.

She hadn't even gotten as much as a little scratch. She didn't get it.

What she thought was the next meeting would probably be better. After all, she had gotten home a year later. Nothing else had happened between almost getting blown up and her disappearing off with a strange man. And she could understand it.

As she leaned back to the window thing to see out of her mum's eyes again, eager to just get this over with as fast and easily as possible (she was sure this was going to be easy now. They all seemed to mainly focus on silly memories her mum had of blowing things way out of proportion) she was confused when she didn't see Mickey running up to her mum to say Rose had been abducted by an alien.

Instead she saw her mum drying her hair in her room, looking happy and ready for the day.

She leaned back quickly before she got sucked into the memory with a scowl on her face. "What the hell is this? Mum...what did you do, 'cause I sure as hell didn't do anything!"

Rolling her eyes, she leant forwards again and let the memory take her. This looked to be yet another useless memory.
