Hello sweeties, I thought you deserved one more chapter for tonight. I am sorry if you are disappointed by this chapter. I do have to warn you however, that there is a very large time 'glitch' in this chapter, so at least half of this chapter is not original. Please feel free to tell me what you think and I hope you enjoy it.

PS. This chapter has a little teensy bit of fluff ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Starwars either, surprise, surprise.


Rose woke up the next morning to find her head resting on the Doctors chest and she hesitated before moving it. He was fast asleep and she smiled at how peaceful he looked. Like he could sense her watching him, his head moved slightly and his eyes flickered open "What'd you move around for?" he asked her grumpily.

"I dunno I was waking up I guess," she stammered, completely shocked that he was actually complaining about her moving.

"Just when I was comfortable you had to go ahead and mess it up. I was warm" he grumbled.

"Like you needed me to stay warm. You're not as delicate as us humans or so I you've led me to believe"

He rolled his eyes. "Point is I'm no longer comfortable so get up, Miss Tyler".

"Yes sir," she saluted, getting out of bed and moving to the door where she turned back to look at him. "You coming?"

"Yeah," he got up and followed her into the kitchen to where his frozen bananas were waiting for him. When he opened the freezer he let out a gasp and Rose giggled behind him. "Rose, what did you do to my bananas?" he asked, turning to her with a very serious face.

"What do you mean?" she asked, trying not to laugh at how seriously he had asked the question.

"Rose there are at least half of the banana's missing," he said, still very stern.

"I don't know, Doctor," she crossed to the freezer, "but you've still got plenty more".

"Are you lying to me Rose?" he asked, stepping closer to her.

"Why would I lie to you? I don't like them as much as you do".

"Hmm," he hummed, turning away and getting one of the remaining bananas from the freezer.

"Right, so where are we going today?" she asked eagerly.

"Well I thought you might like to go and see your mum, considering you haven't seen her in days and you never really said goodbye to her".

"That's true." Rose murmured, staring into the distance. That was true, she never really did say goodbye to her mother when she came to rewrite her history.

"Yeah, so are you ready to do some acting?" he asked, smiling between bites of his banana.

"Sure," she grinned, 'More than you realise,' she added in her head.

Rose stepped out of the TARDIS and took a few steps on the concrete. "So how long have I been gone?"

"About twelve hours," he said leaning on the TARDIS and looking very pleased with himself.

She smiled and shook her head. "Are you sure about that?"

"Pretty sure, yeah," he replied, sounding a little disappointed with her reaction.

Rose walked over to a pole where some posters were blowing in the wind. The Doctor watched her. She saw what was on the posters and immediately ran towards her mother's building. He saw the look on her face and ran to the pole. 'Missing, Rose Tyler'.

"Mum," Rose called, stepping through the door and into the sitting room.

Jackie came out of the kitchen holding her morning cup of tea, but when she saw Rose she dropped her cup and it smashed all over the floor. "Rose?"

"Hi," she greeted, walking over to her slowly "How've you been?"

"It's really you," she cried, pulling her over and hugging her.

"I'm so sorry Rose; it's been a whole year," the Doctor puffed after finally catching up with her.

"I know," Rose nodded, trying to comfort her mother who looked up at the Doctor like she was going to kill him.

"You!" she advanced on him, "I remember you. Did you kidnap my daughter?!" she asked threateningly.

"No," he started to object, "Of course not".

"Mum listen, I'm sorry I've been gone so long but I really had no idea how long it'd been until I saw the posters".

"Did you drug her?" Jackie looked loathingly at the Doctor.

"Mum, he didn't drug me".

"I'm calling the Police; I have to now anyway don't I? You come wandering in like no time's past at all," with that she pushed past the Doctor and went straight to the phone.

'Hmm…he still got it wrong'.

'Well hello again Jack, what do you mean still?'

'Second time through, he could get it right'.

'Oh leave him alone, it's not like anything has changed since last time'.

'Yes it has, he's starting to notice your behavioural differences; now it's time for you to get your lecture off mummy'.

Rose rolled her eyes and turned back to her mother who was just putting the phone back down. "He'll be here in about five minutes of you've got some explaining to do young lady".

The Policeman arrived and he questioned Rose and the Doctor. Rose couldn't help but smile when the policeman asked if they had a sexual relationship. The Doctor must have felt so humiliated at being asked such a thing.

"I've been here alone for months Rose," Jackie was saying angrily. "A whole year on my own, you can't just expect me to believe that you simply forgot to contact me".

"I did contact you" said Rose defensively.

"Oh yeah, one phone call for a whole year Rose!"

"I'm sorry mum I just"-

"And now he's employed you as his 'companion,' I mean that sounds suspicious in itself. How old are you Doctor, forty? Forty five? I bet you're not even a Doctor are you?"

"But I am a Doctor," he cried out defensively and Rose braced herself for what was coming next.

"Prove it! stitch this mate!" she slapped him hard across the face.

Later on, Jackie had calmed down a bit and the Doctor had gone to sit on the roof. When Rose joined him, he looked at her worriedly.

She came and sat down next to where he was standing, but he stayed silent until she spoke, "I can't tell her," she said quietly, "I can't even begin to tell her".

"I know Rose, and I am so sorry, maybe you should stay here now so that she can't freak out again".

"No, I want to come with you," she smiled fondly, "But I don't like to see her upset, we can't ever be late again".

"Well she's not coming with us I can promise you that".

Rose laughed "She slapped you, did it hurt?"

"Nine hundred years of time and space and I've never been slapped by someone's mother".

"I'm sorry," Rose said sincerely, "But maybe you did deserve it, you did kidnap me you know," she teased.

"Don't you start with me, you stole my bananas".

Rose burst out laughing at that. "I didn't steal your bananas".

"So you keep saying," he looked at her with his eyes narrowed.

Rose kept laughing "So you're nine hundred years old?"

"Yes, I've been around for nine hundred years," he jumped at the opportunity to sound impressive. Wait, why was he trying to be impressive for her? Why was he trying so hard to be admired by her? He never did that. Of course, he did show off a bit in order to keep his companions interested and to keep the excitement going, but he never wanted any of them to feel more for him than friendship. He found himself suddenly feeling more, like his own feelings were being taken over by more human emotions and impulses.

"Wow," she was clearly impressed, "My mum was right then," she laughed, "That really is one hell of an age gap".

'No kidding' he thought to himself, trying to push away the irrational emotions he was feeling for this girl. He stayed silent and battled with his mind while she continued to speak. The sound of her voice sounded so amazing, like it was the most beautiful sound in the universe to him. Then as soon as the feelings had started they desisted, leaving him to stare at the human. Now that he looked at her she was beautiful, more beautiful than he'd like to admit to himself but he never thought he'd think of her in the way he just did.

Before he could speak they heard a noise from above and ducked as the Slitheen spacecraft fell from the sky, heading towards the Thames. 'Just fantastic,' thought Rose.

'It's adventure Rosie, it's exciting'.

'First time it was exciting, now it's exhausting'.

'Oh come on I'm gonna do a better acting job then you are and I'm not even that important'.

Rose stumbled when she tried to stand up again, the Doctor however, was laughing happily, reaching for her hand to pull her downstairs and into the street.

When they reached the road block Rose was still panting. "Blocked off, half of London's probably blocked".

"This is fantastic," said the Doctor enthusiastically, "Just fantastic!"

Rose laughed. "I suppose so, as long as the aliens don't go rabid on us".

"We need to get closer".

"They aren't gonna let anyone closer, Doctor. Come on, we can watch it better at home on the tellie".

She led him back to the house where people were already gathered. The kids as usual, were running amuck and it was trying the Doctor's patience greatly. It was, in truth, very domestic and she felt a bit sorry for him sitting there looking grouchy.

The Doctor really couldn't understand why or how these people could talk about normal life when there was something so important going on. This could be Earth's first real encounter with aliens and they were talking about kitchenware and who asked who out. He looked over at Rose for a minute who looked equally uncomfortable in the domestic scene. She made eye contact with him and they both smiled, 'That smile,' he thought to himself before tearing his eyes away to look back at the television.

Rose watched the report too, but she wasn't paying much attention. She knew that it was a fake and that the real aliens were the ones being called to Downing Street. After a few more minutes the Doctor got restless and went outside into the cool night air.

Rose joined him a few minutes later. "You leaving?"

"No, it's just so domestic in there, Rose. I can't believe I've been in there with them nearly all day and my head hasn't exploded".

"Well, go check it out then, Doctor," she patted his arm, "I know you were going to anyway".

"Don't you want to come with me?" he asked her, shocked that she had discovered him.

"I know you think it's too dangerous for me so what's the point?" she turned around and started to leave.

"Hold on Rose" he said walking up to her and taking a key out of his pockets "TARDIS key, I won't leave you Rose".

Rose cradled the key in her hand, 'Jack, what happened to my key?'

'I thought you had it around your neck'.

'Nope, I never brought it'.

'Then it would be sitting in your apartment where you left it, wouldn't it?'

'I suppose so, I thought maybe it would appear here'.

'Well technically it did'.

Rose walked back inside and sat on the couch. She was feeling very sleepy, maybe the whole 'domestic' thing was taking it's tole on her now. The door crashed open and she realised she hadn't seen Mickey yet.

"I was gonna come and see you," she broke the silence, suddenly standing up,. "Come on, we can talk outside".

Mickey nodded but stepped into the kitchen instead, and Rose and Jackie followed him. "All that time Rose, and you were just gone. Your mother here blamed me. She thought I'd murdered you and she starting spreading rumours about me. I'm the estate creep now, an outcast".

"I didn't know how long I'd be gone for, ok?"

"I waited for you to come back, you and the Doctor".

"You shouldn't have Mickey; I'm surprised you bothered to wait a year for me".

"It's because I love you, Rose, I love you and I really want you to stay this time".

Rose shook her head "Mickey, I'm so sorry but you really need to move on from me, I'm a lost cause in that way. What I've seen has spoilt everyday life for me forever".

"Is it what you've seen or who you're with?" asked Mickey, calming down slightly but still spitting out the question in disdain.

Rose blushed bright red, but before she could say anything Jackie found her voice. "You knew about the Doctor? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why didn't I Rose?" Mickey asked, quickly shutting the door. "Why can't you tell her where you've been? It doesn't matter anyway because now you're stuck; he's left you, just then that blue box thing faded away".

"I know it has, Mickey, and I know where he went so please just calm down. We can go outside to wait, mum should probably see it too".

Mickey stared at her in shock. "You're actually fine with her finding out where you've been going?"

"Yeah, she's got to find out some time".

"Find out what? And please stop talking about me like I'm not ere".

"Come on mum; get your coat we're going outside".

Rose led the way outside and they waited for the TARDIS to appear. After waiting for a few minutes Rose knew that the Doctor would only be a little while longer.

The TARDIS appeared and Rose ran straight inside, followed closely by Mickey and Jackie. 'Rose? Rose!' she heard Jack say in her mind. 'It's getting really glitchy, I think you're going to skip forward a bit, I'm sorry'.

'How far forward?' She groaned.

'I dunno, open your eyes, where are you?'

Rose opened her eyes to find herself outside the TARDIS with her bag in her arms, she quickly shoved the bag at the Doctor. "You're stuck with me, ha".

'Was that right?' she asked Jack.

'You are so lucky you can act girl, these glitches are getting worse, and you just missed the Slitheen'.

"So you're going then?" asked Mickey sadly.

"Listen, we never did get to have our little chat so here it is. Please move on from me Mickey, stop loving me. You deserve so much better than me and there's no point in continuing something that's never going to work," she said softly.

"It's because of him isn't it?" Mickey gestured to the Doctor, who he could tell was still listening.

Rose felt herself blush again and she laughed. "Oh Mickey there is so much out there, if you could see it then you'd realise that there so many more reasons why I should go then why I should stay".

The Doctor froze behind her. Was she really going because of him? He knew she was to some extent because of course he needed to pilot the TARDIS, but it really sounded like she was trying to avoid answering, and what reason would she have for not answering except... 'Oh stop it!' he yelled at himself.

"So it is because of him?" Mickey persisted.

"What do you want me to say Mickey?" Rose snapped, temper flaring.

Mickey paused for a moment, "I dunno Rose…I just hope you know what you are getting yourself into".

"I'm pretty aware, but thanks for caring Mickey. I still care about you but I can't let this keep going when I don't even know what I feel anymore".

"He's lucky Rose," he whispered, pulling her into a hug and watching the Doctor over her shoulder, "So lucky".

She planted a quick kiss on his cheek and turned back to the Doctor whose face seemed a little pinker than usual. "You ok Doctor?"

"Huh? Oh yes I'm fantastic. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes," she grinned and hugged her mum one last time "I'll call you sometime mum, I promise".

They stepped into the TARDIS and the Doctor raced over to the console to put in the co-ordinates of some planet he told her she had to see. "Alright, I'm going to go put my stuff in my room, ok?"

He grinned up at her. "Sure, go for it".

She left the room and walked down the corridor. Her bedroom door was made of a greyish wood with white chipped paint, and it looked very vintage. Inside, her room was the same style but with shades of pink added to it. She dumped her bag on her bed and went to have a shower before returning to the console room.

The Doctor raced down the corridor, too impatient to wait any longer. When he knocked on her door there was no answer so he opened it carefully and stepped inside. He saw the door on the left shut and heard the sound of the shower running. He was about to leave when he saw something against the wall that hadn't been there when the TARDIS made Rose's room. It looked like some sort of cabinet but inside was a freezer. He opened it suspiciously and found the rest of his bananas. He grabbed one of the bananas and shut the door of the freezer. Rose finished her shower and came out seconds later in her dressing gown. "Doc"- she broke off, realising that he had found his bananas.

"You lied to me," he uttered, pretending to be devastated.

"I'm sorry Doctor," she replied, trying not to smile. "It was just a prank see, and they're fine, except for the ones I ate".

He looked up at her and he couldn't help but smile. "Rose Tyler, you bothered to get a freezer just so you could prank me?"

"Maybe," she drawled, no longer being able to control the grin bursting through her serious façade.

He shook his head. "Get dressed, we're going out for dinner".

"Formal?" she asked, shrugging.

"Uh yeah, if you like," he left the room so that she could change.

'Someone's got a date with the Doctor,' teased Jack.

'I know,' she smirked, totally ignoring his teasing, 'Now what should I wear, Jack? You'd know better than me'.

'Alright, sneak your way to the wardrobe up the hall and then I might be able to help you'.

Rose did as she was told and made her way up the hall and into the enormous wardrobe. 'Ok Jack, what now?'

'Well, if it was the other Doctor I'd say go for sexy, but I'm thinking go for just plain gorgeous'.

'Ok so what do I do?'

'Ok, see that red dress on the rack over there?'

'Yeah'

'Get it and then find some silver heels to match it'.

Rose did as she was told and went to change in the little room off to the side. The dress was a perfect fit; it went over one shoulder and had a silvery sort of wreath that went around the middle under the chest.

When Rose saw herself in the mirror she stopped for a second 'Jack, you are good'.

'I know, but don't give me too much credit. Look at you, you're stunning'.

Rose went back to her room and curled her hair just slightly so that it fell neatly around her face. She put on her mascara and some light lip gloss; she didn't want to overdo it by putting bright lipstick on. She took a deep breath and walked slowly out into the console room.

The Doctor was busy fixing something on the console and only looked up when she was right beside him. He was automatically transfixed by her. Bringing his head up too quickly, he hit it hard on the bottom of the screen. "Owww".

"Doctor, are you ok?" she asked, much assumed by his reaction.

"Yep, I'm fine, you just scared me is all," he replied, trying to avoid looking at her.

She noticed this and decided to just ask him. "So what do you think?" she spun around to reveal the bare part of her back.

He gulped and tried to remain unaffected. "Um…well, it's…nice".

"I can change if it's not good enough," she teased innocently.

"Oh no Rose…you look…" he paused for a moment then gave up, "You look beautiful".

Rose felt her cheeks go really red and she was pleased to see that the Doctors were a similar shade to what hers felt.

"Thank you Doctor, Anyway," she grinned, having finished her fun and wanting to relieve the tension in the room. "Shall we go?"

"Yeah sure," he offered her is arm and she slid hers gently around his "I already parked us".

They stepped out onto a terrace high above the ground. Beside the terrace was a mighty waterfall and the sunset in the distance was absolutely beautiful.

"So where and when are we?" Rose asked, looking around eagerly, "It's absolutely gorgeous".

'It's not the only thing' he thought to himself. "We're on the Planet Naboo".

"Naboo? You mean like from Star wars?" she asked, getting even more excited.

"You know your Star Wars," he nodded in approval, "anyway, the planet in the movies is based off this planet. George Lucas and I were good friends back in the day".

"You never fail to surprise me," Rose grinned up at him.

"I'll never stop trying," he said, also grinning.

"Come on than, let's go see if Naboo has good grub," she pulled on his hand and walked briskly towards the restaurant.

Inside there were a large number of tables, all occupied by pretty normal looking people by the universe's standards. The pair was shown to a table and the Doctor pulled out a chair for Rose.

"Such a gentleman," she teased.

"I always am," he agreed, taking his own seat opposite her.

She rolled her eyes. "So do they have like a Queen Amidala or what?"

"No, actually most of that stuff was George's idea, but they do have a Queen, though to be honest she doesn't like me very much".

"Oh, I can't imagine why".

"No, you really can't, she had me arrested once when I was here because I was too cheerful in her presence".

"Well you can be pretty cheerful".

"Yeah but not annoyingly so?" he asked, sounding hopeful.

"Well it's not that bad yet but who knows I haven't been with you that long".

"True, anyway food, what would you like?"

"Well I dunno, what's good?"

"Well I would recommend you try…hmmm…the fish".

"Do you know what you're talking about, or just hoping?"

"Bit of both," he shrugged, turning and waving to the waiter, "Alright, two fish and what would you like to drink?"

"Well it is a formal diner so wine, I guess".

"Red Wine?" he asked.

"Sure".

"Red wine and I'll just have water". The waiter disappeared into the kitchen again.

"You don't drink?"

"Not really, I mean I have but I don't really like the taste much. It's no fun anyway because it doesn't affect me, my metabolisms too fast".

Rose suddenly remembered back to when they had been on that spaceship and the Doctor had pretended to be drunk. She realised now how stupid she'd been for actually believing that he'd been drunk.

"Well I think that's a good thing. Besides, you can play some awesome pranks on people".

He laughed. "Always the optimist".

"I don't see the downside to it really".

"Well really, there isn't one. Anyway let's talk about something more interesting".

"How come you didn't change?" Rose asked, suddenly frowning at his usual outfit.

"Because this is for everything, formal included. Besides, I didn't know you'd be dressed so…so…"

"So what?" she asked with her eyebrows raised.

"So…elegantly," he finished weakly.

"You didn't think I could do elegantly?" she asked, her eyebrows going even higher.

"Well I didn't think you couldn't do it I just didn't think you would".

"Well, with that wardrobe who wouldn't?"

He laughed again as the waiter brought out their drinks and sat them down in front of them. "So why did you suddenly ask me to come to dinner here with you Doctor, not really you is it?"

"Well I thought you'd like to considering…considering…Rose do you think those two over there are watching us?" he asked gesturing towards a couple of men at the bar area.

"Yeah looks like it, why?"

"I have a bad feeling about them is all".

"Oh don't worry, you'll get over it," she said standing up, "I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back".

He nodded and watched her leave. She looked so graceful in that dress and he could see half of her back when she was facing away from him. 'Stop it!' he commanded himself, 'Pull yourself together man!'

Rose walked carefully past the two men who had been watching them. She smiled at them as she past and they both flashed grins at her. She couldn't help but notice that they were both VERY good-looking.

The Doctor watched the exchange suspiciously and walked over to stand near the bar. Rose returned a few minutes later and the two men were ready for her. They both turned on their charms and approached her. Rose allowed the two men to flirt with her and she even began to flirt back. The Doctor saw it all and knew what he had to do. He came out of nowhere and Rose barely had time to brace herself before his lips were on hers. She was shocked but allowed him to kiss her passionately.

When they finally broke apart he still had his arms tightly around her. Rose was glad for that or she might not have been able to stand up straight. "Sorry fellas," he grinned, "Afraid this one's mine".

The two men slouched away sulkily and the Doctor led Rose back to the TARDIS. When they were inside he finally looked her in the eyes. "What on Earth was that?!" Rose squeaked.

"That was saving your life and those, were the male equivalent of what you'd call a Siren".

"What?" asked Rose, still flabbergasted.

"Those two men would have killed you," he said matter-of-factly.

Rose had to give her head a little shake to bring herself back to reality. "I better go to bed," she mumbled starting to head for the corridor.

"Are you alright?" he asked, stopping her before she could leave.

"Yeah I'm fine, just tired is all".

Rose went to her room and changed into her pyjamas. 'Jack?'

'Yeah Rosie?'

'What just happened?'

'Well the Doctor just saved your life, he also snogged the living daylights out of you which I'd count as a bonus'.

'I can't believe he did that'.

'I know, I can't believe the old man had that in him'.

She rolled her eyes then smiled to herself 'Mind you, it was a great kiss'.

'See, there you go, you have just experienced my number one favourite way of being saved from death'.

'Oh shut up Jack' she rolled over in bed and turned out her light 'Goodnight'.

'Night Rose'.


Alright so I couldn't help but put a bit of fluff in :P I hope you liked it and I really enjoyed writing it. If you want to find the dress the keywords are: column,chiffon, one shoulder, beading, rhinestones, red, formal, dresses. The next chapter should be more to the original, but I'll still try to shove as much twistiness in as I can. Thanks guys :D
