Alright people so this time I really need you to tell me what you think. I need to know when you are getting tired of the every life of John, Rose and Martha and want to get into the excitement. If you want I can cut off a few days or a week leading up to the actual Human Nature time frame. I know people are loving to fluff and i'll do my best to keep it fresh. Enjoy :)
Downstairs Martha was laughing with Jenny when a very disgruntled looking Nurse Redfern appeared. "Nurse Redfern are you alright?"asked Martha stopping beside her.
"Oh yes Martha I'm fine, just a little distracted is all".
"If you say so" said Martha going back over to Jenny.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Jenny putting down the plate she'd finished drying.
"I dunno she's not too happy anyway".
"Something to do with Mr Smith?" Jenny suggested.
"Maybe, Rose is here so maybe she saw them together or something".
"So they actually are together now?" asked Jenny.
"Yeah, pretty much, I'm not upset though; when you live with them both you kind of understand it, him liking her I mean".
"Well I think it was a very quick judgement on his part, he should've fallen for you instead".
"I think he fell for her a long time ago Jenny" said Martha sighing.
"What do you mean a long time ago?"
Martha shook her head "It's too difficult to explain".
"Alright then have it your way" said Jenny jumping down off the bench she'd been sitting on and picking up a tray "Come on it's gonna be lunchtime by the time we even get morning tea out".
Rose walked around the library after Mr Smith left and found the place where the book Nurse Redfern had belonged. She climbed the ladder and put in back on the high shelf.
"Rose?" said a voice below startling her.
"Oh Timothy" she said in relief slowly climbing down the ladder "You scared me".
"Sorry I didn't mean to frighten you, I just came to return a book".
"Oh well I can help you there, I'm the new librarian".
"That's great!" he said grinning at her "Congratulations".
"Thank you" she said stepping around him and walking over to the desk.
"Mr Smith will be happy".
"Yes, he was happy" she said avoiding his eyes.
"So you really are going to stay here and live here?"
"Yes, I'm quite certain now that that is what I will do".
"Well I hope you'll be very happy here, will you still live with Mr Smith?"
She felt herself blushing "Yes he insists that I stay as long as I live here".
Timothy noticed her blush but refrained from asking her whether there was something going on between her and Mr Smith. "Anyway" he said flashing her a smile "I better be going back to class, you enjoy your first day".
"Thank you" she said grinning "I'm sure I will and you have a great day too".
In the afternoon Rose made her way back down to through the entrance Martha and her had used that morning and was disappointed to see that Martha had already left. She picked up the bike and rode back to Mr Smith's, Martha's and she guessed her house now too.
The ride was quick and she soon arrived at the house, she carefully got off the bike and laid it against the wall. She was surprised when she walked inside to find the Martha wasn't home, but soon found a book to read and sat in silence for a while before she heard the door open and shut again.
"Martha?" she called.
"It's only me" Mr Smith called back.
Rose smiled when he entered the room and patted the seat beside her. He sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her; she snuggled into his side and let out a contented sigh.
"I have to tell you Rose I think you were right about Nurse Redfern" he said finally breaking the silence.
"Oh really how so?" she asked looking up at him.
"She's been avoiding me ever since this morning when we…when she caught us…"
"Why is it so awkward for you to talk about kissing me?"
"Because Miss Tyler" he said turning slightly so he could look down at her "Every time I talk about it it makes me want to do it again".
She grinned up at him "And what's wrong with that?"
"Well nothing, if it wasn't constantly on my mind" he leaned down and kissed her; she lifted her head and kissed him back.
The two of them were still kissing when Martha came in "Rose- Oh I'm sorry" she said as they broke apart.
"No it's ok Martha" said Rose smiling over at her before Mr Smith could complain about her interrupting "Did you need me for anything?"
"No, don't worry about it" said Martha walking into the kitchen slowly, to hear about it was on thing but to actually see it was painful. Hearing about it had been interesting, exciting even but seeing how perfectly they fitted together just then on the lounge pulled at her heart.
Rose walked out to Martha who was leaning against a bench, staring at the floor "Are you alright?"
"Yeah" she said composing herself and putting on a smile.
"We've been invited to the school to have dinner with the headmaster if you want to come".
"Oh no thanks, you guys go ahead I have some things to take care of".
"Ok if you say so but if you want to come I'm sure we can save you a seat".
Rose left and Martha waited until they had both left before going upstairs into Rose's room. She found the leather bag and searched through it. She found some money, a modern looking cardigan and…no it couldn't be, she pulled out her TARDIS key and held it next to the key she had just found, they were a perfect match. She decided to leave Rose's key in the bag, 'she might need it later' and finally took out the fob watch. It was a bit smaller than the size of her palm and had beautiful Gallifreyan writing and symbols. She placed it carefully in her pocket and she could almost swear she heard it whisper.
Rose and Mr Smith returned late that night and went to bed soon after their arrival back home. Martha was already asleep with the fob watch clutched in her hand when Rose walked quietly past her door. Martha had an unrestful night that night as she dreamed of what horrors still lay in store for them when the watch finally had to be opened.
Dammit Martha! Haha Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter if you did please feel free to review, if you didn't also feel free to review and tell me why you don't like it :P Goodnight people :)
