"I thought you said that two universes would collapse if you ever came here." Rose seemed to have completely forgotten her plans to see the movie. Instead she was focused on the doctor.
"That's what I thought. I swear Rose, if I knew it was possible to come back I would have." His hand reached up to stroke her cheek, and then returned back to his side. "Oh! I have someone I would like you two to meet!" He turned around and gestured for me to come closer. "I would like to introduce you to Amelia Pond." He smiled.
As I got there I held out my hand. "Amy, you can just call me Amy." The two nodded.
"Rose." She said as I shook her hand.
"John." The man said as I shook his.
"Nice to meet you. I hope you don't mind me asking, but, how exactly do you know the doctor?" There was a small silence before anyone spoke.
It was the doctor who finally spoke up, instead of Rose. "Oh, we used to be the best of friends. We did everything together, and…. Well, we… Anyway, we eventually got split up. But this is wonderful, isn't it Rose?" The doctor smiled at Rose, but she didn't exactly smile back.
"Are you kidding? 'The best of friends'? Who do you think you are! We were more than that and you know it!" Rose shoved the doctor's chest and he stumbled back a bit. There was a look of pure anguish just before John took her aside.
"What the hell was that?" I quietly asked the doctor, who was a tad distracted. I took a firm hold of his arm and he came back to his senses.
"I… I suppose I haven't been completely truthful with you Amy." Before he could finish Rose and John returned.
Rose lifted her head and looked straight at me. "Perhaps we should take the day and get to know each other Amy. There are some things we need to talk about. While we're out together, maybe you and John could talk some, Doctor. I have a feeling you two will have quite a lot in common." She said that last sentence with a hint of ferocity. Rose linked her arm with mine.
I looked at the doctor, and he nodded at me.
"We'll just meet up back at our place later then, yeah?" John asked Rose, who simply said, 'yeah.'
The men started to walk in the opposite direction, and Rose turned to me. "There's one thing you need to know before we start talking about exactly who I am. Amy Pond, you need to understand that the Doctor is dangerous. Believe me; I know that you'll fall in love with him. His techno-babble and his ridiculous obsession with the TARDIS, and everything in between. I understand that he seems like any other bloke, he seems like he'll always be there to protect you; but he won't. All it takes is one time, and then everything changes. It wasn't his fault when we got separated, it was mine, but there were so many times where something could have happened at his hand. The Doctor is not a simple man, and there's nothing wrong with that; but believe me Amy, you need to be careful. He's brilliant, but he's terrifying." The seriousness in her eyes told me that this wasn't going to be a simple girl-to-girl chat. The two of us turned and walked toward a pub on the corner. "Now about we talk more over lunch?" I nodded.
I'm certainly not as clever as some people, but I have a feeling that I already understand who Rose Tyler was back when she knew the Doctor.
not so sure how i feel about this one,
does rose seem to be a bit out of character, or is it just me...?
let me know what you guys think, constructive criticism is certainly welcome.
