Disclaimer: Not Mine. Never Will Be!
A/N: Thought I would write a slightly longer chapter this time, seeing as I gave you such a short one last time. I'm off school for a long weekend so I may get more written. So enjoy, and comments are love!
Rose sat, staring straight ahead. She hadn't moved since she woke from the dream earlier. He was coming, but there was something happening. Something dangerous. But what could it be? Maybe the rift activity in Cardiff had something to do with it? Maybe the Dalek's and Cybermen managed to get out, or are attempting to? Rose shook her head. Why did she always instantly think about Cardiff in these situations? She should be more focussed on London, her own city. She should be more concerned about how this oncoming danger could affect London.
"Rose. What's wrong?"
Rose jumped, startled from her thoughts. She stared over at her door to be greeted by her mum holding Jack on her waist.
"Nothing mum. Just a dream."
Jackie stared at her sceptically. Rose always disliked that look. It meant she knew Rose was keeping something from her, and she wasn't going to forget about it.
"Well…if you're sure. Now hurry up. You start work soon. Don't think that you can give me some rubbish excuse."
Rose slowly stood up.
"But I'm not due to start for another two hours."
"Some emergency. Something about rift activity being stronger, whatever that means. Now move."
Jackie walked away, Jack waving at Rose as he bounced on his mother's hip. Rose smiled lightly, and poked her tongue out at him before laughing and walking into the bathroom adjacent to her bedroom.
Rose bundled herself into the boardroom, apologising for her lateness. She smiled at Mickey, who mock glared at her for interrupting him.
"As I was saying. We don't exactly know what alien we are facing, which isn't a first for us. So, we all need to be alert when we go alright?"
"Go where exactly?" Rose asked loudly.
"We're going to Cardiff. You're staying here."
Rose looked appalled at the thought.
"No way are you going to see the aliens whilst I'm stuck here with the paper work!"
Mickey chuckled.
"I'm sorry Rose but we need you here. Someone needs to make sure your dad's running this place properly."
Rose went to argue but Mickey shut her up with a look. She huffed and sat back in her chair, glaring at Mickey the whole time. Mickey looked away from her and faced the other people in the room.
"Right. You know what team you're in. So off you go, and good luck."
The rest of the team nodded at Mickey and walked out, leaving only Rose in the room with him.
"Why the hell did I put you in charge of dealing with the whole 'going into the field' stuff?"
"Because you know I'm the best at organising the actual attack on aliens, considering you are the one who suggests we invite them in for a cup of tea and a nice chat."
Rose glared at him.
"Never know, might save us one day."
Mickey laughed and stared at her affectionately.
"Rose. You put me in charge because you hate telling people what to do. Which is why I'm allowed to tell you to get lost and do whatever it is you have to do."
Rose walked over and hugged him.
"What would I have done if you hadn't been here to help me?" Rose whispered into his ear.
"Probably have killed yourself by now." Mickey replied jokingly.
Rose stepped back and looked straight into his eyes.
"I probably would have. You've saved me Mickey Smith. Now go and save the world."
Rose gave him one last hug and walked out.
