A/N okay so this took a long time to write, I just couldn't find the right song for this scene, but I feel I found it now Also there has been a change in plans, this musical will be the first and second seasons episodes rewritten into musicals, and once I'm done, I'll do one for each of the other companions, even Clara.

Chapter base song: we both reached for the gun from Chicago


(scene starts in what appears to be an apartment, Rose lounges on the couch, while her mother wanders around with a phone pressed to her ear)

Television: The whole of Central London has been closed off as police investigate the fire. Early reports indicate

Jackie: I know. It's on the telly. It's everywhere. She's lucky to be alive. Honestly, it's aged her. Skin like an old bible. Walking in now you'd think I was her daughter. Oh, and here's himself.

(enter Mickey Smith from the door located at center stage)

Mickey: I've been phoning your mobile. You could've been dead. It's on the news and everything. I can't believe that your shop went up!

Rose: I'm all right, honestly, I'm fine! Don't make a fuss.

(music strikes up.)

Mickey: Well, what happened?

Rose: I'm not quite sure

Mickey: but what caused?

Rose: I wasn't inside

Mickey: did you see it?

Rose: it was fuzzy

but I may have seen someone
he ran inside before the spark

Mickey: was he shady?

Rose: wasn't looking

Mickey: did he get out?

Rose: don't remember

Mickey: Then what happened?

Rose: I got spooked
and then I ran away,
I didn't look back that way

JACKIE(speaking): It's Debbie on the end. She knows a man on the Mirror. Five hundred quid for an interview.

Rose(rolling her eyes): Oh that's brilliant! Give it here.

(Rose takes the phone hanging it up and slamming it down on the table)

Jackie(singing): wait compensation!

Rose: I don't want it

Jackie: why refuse it?

Rose: I don't need it

Jackie: that's just silly

Rose: mum forget it
I said no just move along
it's not like I'm doing something wrong

Jackie(moving around the couch fussing over little things around Rose):Understandable, understandable
Yes it's perfectly understandable

Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible

Mickey: how were you feeling?

Rose: very frightened

Mickey: are you worried?

Rose: why should I?

Mickey: what's your plan now?

Rose: oh I don't know,
but maybe to school I will go back
or maybe not cause I hate tests

(the music fades, and The telephone rings again. Jackie answers it.)

Jackie: Bev! She's alive. I've told her, sue for compensation. She was within seconds of death.

Mickey: What're you drinking, tea? Nah, nah, that's no good, that's no good. You're in shock. You need something stronger.

Rose: I'm all right.

Mickey: Now, come on, you deserve a proper drink. We're going down the pub, you and me. My treat. How about it?

Rose: Is there a match on?

Mickey: No, I'm just thinking about you, babe.

Rose: There's a match on, ain't there.

Mickey: That's not the point, but we could catch the last five minutes.

Rose: Go on, then. I'm fine, really. Go. Get rid of that.

(Rose has brought the Auton's arm home. They kiss, then Mickey picks up the arm.)

Mickey: Bye, bye.

Rose: Bye.

(Mickey pretends to be strangled by the arm, then exits through the door, and you hear the T.V again.)

Television: Fire then spread throughout the store. Fifteen fire crews are in attendance though it's thought there is very little chance of saving the infrastructure.
