Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who.

A/N: This echo of Rose being the best friend… I just love writing her. I hope you guys like this chapter! Please review! I love reading them.

Also, very sorry it's taken me such a long time to update. There's been a few problems over here causing me to be slow. Anyways, happy reading!

First, they went to Rose's house. Amy knew where the spare key was, so she let herself in. A couple minutes later, she was dragging a blond out that was whining and had some toothpaste at the corner of her mouth. Amy had obviously sloppily brushed her teeth and combed her hair for her friend who was still half asleep.

"Oh, so this… is the… Doctor?" Rose asked between yawns, looking him up and down. "Sorry for all the tiredness… it's the middle of the night," She sighed. "Couldn't you have come in the morning?" She looked between Amelia and the Doctor.

"No," Amy said loudly and hurriedly with wide eyes. She shook her head, did her best to get rid of her nervousness so it wasn't too obvious, and sighed, pushing Rose into the TARDIS. "Oh, just go, would you?" She rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"I'm in my nightie!" Rose protested as the Doctor followed the two women inside giddily, thinking that Rose was very funny and very cute right now. All tired and a bit grumpy. Not that he hadn't seen that before. When she traveled with him, whenever she first woke up, she would be too tired and grumpy to have a proper conversation but he had always managed to get her to smile after she had some tea.

"Oh, so what? I was in my nightie on my first trip. Why don't you just go to my room and change?" Amy asked as Rose looked around with a small smile. She loved this, watching new people looking around in amazement. No wonder the Doctor always had companions.

"I will," She said softly. She continued to look around with astonishment. "This is the TARDIS… I can't believe it's the TARDIS…" She said in disbelief, now fully awake. Amy had been telling her about the Doctor and his magic blue box since they were little. "It's amazing."

"And…?" the Doctor asked with anticipation as he joined her and Amy by the console.

"And what?" Rose asked in confusion. She figured he expected more so she looked around again and nodded. "It's incredibly cool."

The Doctor slumped his shoulders over. Yes, the TARDIS was cool but he wished she would say that bit everyone always said. Oh, well. At least she was here. Rose went to get changed, the TARDIS leading her to the wardrobe but she just stole some of Amy's clothes instead.

Amy smiled and leaned towards the Doctor as he started to drive to Rory's stag party. "So, what do you think of her?" She asked quietly, eagerly, as though she was setting him up on a blind date. Which she practically was, depending on how you looked at it. She was asking his opinion of her because she had been told by him that every time he ran into Rose, one of her characteristics always stood out. "Do you like her?"

He scoffed. "I'll stop you right there, Pond. I like every part of Rose. No matter what," He decided that this was his least favorite regeneration. He was too open, even if he did have secrets and took time telling Amy things. But Rose was definitely not one of his secrets.

The redhead's grin widened. "Good. Because she already knows a lot about you, I mean we're cousins, she heard me talk about you all the time."

Rose came back in a short skirt, black tights, boots, a long sleeved yellow tank top, and a brown leather jacket since that's all the types of clothes Amy seemed to wear. "Where are we going?" She asked them before they could continue the conversation.

The Doctor hated himself because he got slightly distracted by her outfit, and therefore, was not paying attention. Until Amy stomped on his foot. He winced, trying his best to cover it up with a cough and failing. Rose managed to hide her smug smile though since she hadn't been expecting a reaction to her outfit. Let alone that reaction. The Doctor cleared his throat loudly. "Stag party," He said as the TARDIS landed.

Amy and Rose sat quietly in the corner of the bar, silently giggling over the Doctor coming out of Rory's cake and exclaiming that Rory needed to get here right now since his fiancé was having doubts about the wedding. He also mentioned a girl in a bikini in need of a jumper.

The redhead tried to be angry at the Doctor for saying that she had cold feet, but every time she imagined him coming out of the cake and Rory's surprised face, she burst out laughing. Then Rose would laugh. And Rose had such an infectious laugh that Amy would laugh harder. She could already tell that life on the TARDIS- with Rory and Rose joining her and The Doctor- was about to get even more interesting than it already was…

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

"How about we go somewhere… romantic?" the Doctor asked cheerfully before he flew the TARDIS. He exited, then Rose, Amy, and Rory followed. "Venice, 1580! Consider this my wedding present to you," He said to Amy and Rory.

Rose smiled at them and followed the three while studying her surroundings with wide eyes. The Doctor rambled about how he owed Casanova a chicken but that they were off 150 years, so that was good since he didn't want to run into him. She noticed that they were holding hands while the Doctor showed a man a blank piece of paper that apparently said they were royalty, which impressed the two newcomers of the TARDIS. Rose wondered why she and the Doctor were holding hands and also when that happened. But she didn't mind, so she didn't pull away. The Doctor noticed that and was glad she wasn't pushing him away, even though he wouldn't blame her if she did.

The four of them went to a balcony and saw across the river a bunch of girls covered in veils and umbrellas walking. But a man was lifting up their hoods, exclaiming that he needed to see Isabella and that he wanted them to give her back. He backed away from one of the girls suddenly when she pushed him away from another girl. He looked very afraid as they walked away casually and he backed up, leaving the area.

Amy turned to ask the Doctor what that was all about but both he and Rose were gone. She looked at Rory and sighed. "I hate it when he does that."

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

The Doctor and Rose had talked to Guido, who led them to Signora Rosanna's castle. He distracted the guards while the alien and the impossible woman snuck inside.

But Rose was pulled back when the Doctor got distracted by checking himself out in the mirror. He saw her looking at him incredulously through the reflection. Without looking back while he fixed his hair with one hand, still holding Rose's hand with the other, he asked, "What?"

"Are you seriously doing this? Now? In a castle we're breaking into? You can't wait to check your hair later?" She still hadn't remembered him, but she had the strong feeling that this was normal.

He opened his mouth to reply sassily and most likely flirtingly when he was interrupted. "Who are you?" The two turned to see five girls in matching white nightgowns and wild hair. They were pale and unblinking. Rose instinctively moved a step closer to the Doctor, mostly in surprise. But he wasn't complaining. "I'll ask again, signor y signora. Who are you?"

Rose and the Doctor both looked from the mirror to the girls multiple times. "How are they doing that?" Rose asked in complete interest and curiosity yet freaked out.

"I don't know. But I am absolutely loving it," said the Doctor giddily.

"Who are you?" the girls asked again.

The Doctor flashed a paper at them. As the girls looked at it, they tilted their heads in confusion. He pulled back the paper and frowned at it. "Oh, library card. Right, the psychic paper is with…" He mimed a big nose and then sighed. "I need the spare…"

"That looks nothing like you, though," Rose gave the Doctor a questioning look before glancing back down at the picture of an old man.

"Regeneration. I'll explain later. When we're not surrounded by," He put the library card away as he glanced up at the group in front of them. "Pale, creepy girls who don't like sunlight," He and Rose shared an excited look.

"Leave now, signor y signora. Or we shall call the steward," They all grinned. "If you are lucky."

"What's that mean…?" Rose asked uneasily as the Doctor squeezed her hand. They looked back at the girls, who now had sharp fangs and were hissing at the couple as they slowly walked closer. Rose and the Doctor simply nodded to each other and started out the way they came.

The Doctor whipped around, grinning. "Tell me the whole plan!" He exclaimed, looking between the girls. But they just continued hissing and inching closer to Rose and the Doctor.

Rose smiled and rolled her eyes. "That never works," She said knowingly before she had a confused look on her face at how she knew that.

"But one day it will," He said hopefully, glancing at her and wondering if she was starting to remember him. "Vampires in Venice. Brilliant. Oh, this is Christmas," He said to her to distract her. He had noticed before that whenever he tried to get her to remember, it just made her more wary of him. So he would let it happen on its own. No matter how much he missed her.

"Is this a normal thing, then?" Rose grinned back at him, forgetting the small pain in her head at his cute childishness when they ran up the stairs outside.

"Yeah," He nodded as they started down the street swiftly, hand in hand. "I'd say the running is the best part."

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

"You need someone on the inside," Amy said quietly, glancing at the Doctor.

"No," He said flatly. "That's not happening, Amy."

"You don't even know what I was going to say," She rolled her eyes. When he nodded, she sighed. "What was I going to say then?"

"You want to sneak in pretending to be an applicant to the school. Then you want to go downstairs when no one is watching and open the trapdoor to let us in," the Doctor looked at the considerably deflated Amy. "Like I said before: no."

"What if we go in together?" Rose spoke up from behind them. "I mean, me and Amy. Strength in numbers, yeah?"

Amy looked considerably worried about Rose joining her but also glad that there was two against one. Even if the Doctor wouldn't risk Rose for anything, her friend was way too stubborn and would most likely get her way in the end. Despite not wanting to put Rose in danger, she knew that the blond was already in danger just by being on the TARDIS. Everybody was. Plus, she was glad that she wouldn't have to be alone in that creepy castle.

"What? No! Absolutely not!" the Doctor exclaimed, looking between the two women. He definitely wasn't going for that idea. Not only did it put Amy in danger, but it put Rose at risk as well. And he had already cost her enough to last her a few lifetimes. Except those separate lives, he had ruined them too.

"Are you insane?" Rory burst out angrily. It was already bad enough that his supposed future wife had run away with another man on their wedding night. But now Rose was getting sucked in by all this madness that was the Doctor too.

"We don't have another option," Amy defended her plan. She understood why Rory was so defensive. He felt like he wasn't important. But it irritated her a little bit that he was trying to control her.

"Amy's right," Rose shrugged. "It's the best plan, really."

"He said 'no,' guys," Rory muttered grumpily. "Listen to him."

"We do have another way," Guido gestured to the barrels that Rory was sitting on. "Gunpowder and explosives. It will make a big enough scene to get my Isabella back," He seemed determined and didn't have a problem with killing for the ones he loved. Rory slowly inched away from the barrels as he talked.

The Doctor regretfully understood Guido wanting to cause a scene through violence. If someone he loved was in there too, he would try anything. But he shook his head. "No. No, you see, I have a problem with guns. And… explosives. You know, unnecessary violence," He stumbled over his words, something that this body seemed to do a lot.

There was complete silence for a moment as they tried to come up with a new plan until Amy spoke up. "We'll be in there three, four hours, tops," She said casually, swinging her legs as she sat on the edge of the table.

Rose nodded in agreement and stepped slightly closer to the Doctor so they were shoulder to shoulder. "Won't be in there long," She said softly with innocent, wide eyes as she ran a hand up and down the Doctor's arm soothingly. "We can watch each other's backs too," She stared into his eyes and her stomach did a flip-flop. She wasn't sure why but she hoped she wasn't developing a crush.

Amy perked up considerably at this sight, grinning and leaning forward on her knees to watch this interaction happening, studying every single small movement between the two. Rory just rolled his eyes. "Honestly, Rose," He muttered. "You don't really think that he's gonna fall for that, do you?"

The Time Lord knew perfectly well what she was doing and it was working. He desperately wished it wasn't but she was batting her eyelashes with adoration in her eyes and accompanied with that small, insistent smile, he couldn't really refuse. He sighed. "Fine," He gave in. He held up a finger. "But three to four hours tops," He said firmly, looking between a smug Amy and a proud Rose, who both nodded.

Rory fussed, not wanting his friend and fiancé put in any more danger than they already were. "Is that how you work, Doctor?" He asked angrily, noticing how the Doctor and Rose were still very much too close for his liking. He didn't trust the alien and Rose was the sweetest girl he ever met, other than his Amy, who were watching the two eagerly. "Some pretty girl way out of your league bats her eyelashes at you and gets whatever she wants?"

But the three were ignoring Rory. Guido most certainly didn't feel like he should be stepping in. "So, I go in as your father and get you in?" the Doctor suggested, looking between Amy and Rose.

"Father?" Rose raised an eyebrow at that ridiculous thought.

"You look about nine," Amy gave him an incredulous look.

"Brother then?" the Doctor suggested.

"Too weird," Amy shook her head in disagreement, smirking between the two of them. "I think Rose and I will be sisters and you can be Rose's fiancé," She said brightly, looking between the two but mostly trying to communicate to the Doctor with her eyes. However, he was obviously too oblivious to understand the language she was speaking.

"What?" Rory stepped in again, making sure they were paying attention to him this time. "You're gonna just parade around saying you're going to be married to a 900 year old Time Lord?" He directed this mostly to Rose. She usually spotted errors in Amy's plans and maybe this would make the Doctor back off of his friend.

Rose didn't really mind that. Even though that was a major age gap. The Doctor, however, understood where Rory was coming from. He stepped away from her, which took all of his willpower to do. Amy looked annoyed at the Doctor but then grinned at Rory, stepping up to him. "No, you're right," She nodded and glanced at Rose, who looked a little confused for she had just remembered holding hands with someone in a leather jacket and running through London. Amy looked back at her fiancé. "I mean, they've already seen the Doctor. They barely paid attention to Rose earlier. So, why don't you do it?"

Rory sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. Guido and the Doctor looked satisfied with the plan. Rose looked content with it as well, eager in fact. While Amy looked nervous but ready for this adventure. What had he gotten himself into?

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

Amy and Rose had managed to get their hands on some dresses so they fit in. Rory traded outfits with Guido. Before they went off, the Doctor had boldly kissed Rose's forehead before telling all three of them to be careful and feeling guilty there was no other way. The three companions went inside the castle. Amy and Rose took in their surroundings while Rory talked, all three doing their best not to be suspicious but the male of the group failing miserably.

"So," Rory stumbled over his words as he finished. "Our parents died of the… plague. I'm a gondola… driver. So… money's a bit tight," He tried to make it seem like he was only nervous because this was the queen and not because they were vampires or whatever the Doctor thought they were. "And it would just be great if my… sisters," He tried not to sound irritated on the last word since Amy had wanted them all to be siblings instead of her being his fiancé and Rose's sister. "Could get into your school for special people," He nodded, seemingly satisfied. "Cheers."

Francesco circled the three, watching the two women intently. Rose and Amy held each other's hands and squeezed at the same time, both more than a little creeped out by the gaze of the vampire. Luckily, no one noticed the small movements. Francesco suddenly paused in front of Amy and frowned. "Have I seen you from somewhere?" He narrowed his eyes at her.

Rory did his best to distract the vampire from the redhead. "I've just got one of those faces…" He muttered lamely, not being able to think of something better as he indicated said face.

"Not you," Francesco snapped at him with irritation, sparing a brief glance at him before looking back at Amy with suspicion. "Her."

"Well, she's got the same face," Rory said loudly, laughing nervously and nodding in Amy's direction. "Which is because she's my sister," He laughed some more to hide his nervousness. Which was most likely not working as well as he thought.

Rose decided to step in before Rory mucked this up even further. "We hand out flowers, signor," She said in a soft, innocent voice. She didn't enjoy flirting with Francesco like she had with the Doctor. But she was an actress. Pretending was her job. She willed herself to blush when the vampire turned his attention to her. "While our brother drives the gondola, my sister and I give flowers for extra change," She said with a small smile. "So, if you've been around town, then you might have seen us."

Both Rosanna and Francesco seemed to soften up due to Rose. Rory was in shock while Amy looked proud of her friend. Queen Rosanna narrowed her eyes at Rory before she rounded on the steward. "Carlos," She looked at him. "Why have you brought me this imbecile?" Carlos hurriedly told her that they had references from the King of Sweden and nodded to Rory to give it to her. He complied and Rosanna looked down at it with a small smile. "Ah," She said finally. "Now I see what's got my steward so excited," She looked at her son. "Tell me, Francesco. Do you like them?" She asked as she handed the paper back to Rory.

Francesco circled the three, watching the two women intently. "Oh, I do, mother. I do," He said lowly with a small smile. Rose and Amy squeezed each other's hands again.

"Then we shall take them," the Queen smiled and looked back at Rory. "Say goodbye to your sisters."

Rory was ushered out before he even got a chance to look at the two. "Tell Uncle… Doctor that we'll see him soon," Rose said loudly with a glance at the two vampires.

"We'll be fine," Amy assured her fiancé with a small, nervous smile.

She didn't see Francesco behind them, staring at Rory gloatingly with his fangs out. "Rose! Amy!" Rory shouted, trying to get to them before the door was slammed in his face. His entire body shook from nervousness. That hadn't helped him, considering he really didn't like the idea in the first place. Now the only way to get them back was to go with the plan and trust the Doctor. He just hoped when they got to Amy and Rose that it wouldn't be too late.

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

"I don't understand," Rory shook his head as he and the Doctor stared at the bodies in the trunk. They were black with fangs and the bodies were all shriveled up, decomposed. "What happened to them?" He asked the Doctor.

The alien had a somber look as he stood up and swallowed. He looked up at Rory. "They look like they have all the moisture taken out of them."

"But that's what vampires do, yeah?" Rory asked promptly, balling his hands into fists to keep himself calm. "They…" He gulped. "They suck your blood."

The Doctor ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "Not only their blood. These girls have had all the moisture taken out of them."

Rory cringed. "So… why aren't they like the rest of them?" He asked slowly, not knowing if he wanted to know the answer.

He paused as he thought over Rory's question. "Maybe some of them don't survive the process," He masked his voice to sound unattached to the situation. He felt even guiltier for sending Rose and Amy in there. He hoped they were alright.

"This is the problem with you, you know," Rory said angrily, pointing an accusing finger at the Doctor. "You make people want to impress you," He shook his head. "My fiancé and friend are in there. I've known them since I was 7 and now they're gonna die."

"Who are you?" said voices from all around. The travelers looked up to see a bunch of girls surrounding them.

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

"Mother, can we drink from them now?" asked Francesco as he twirled a lock of blonde hair that belonged to Rose, who looked disgusted and tried to free herself from the servant restraining her. But it was no use. Amy tried to go over to her friend but she too was being held by a servant.

"First, we must find out what they know," said Rosanna as she rounded on them. "How did you get the psychic paper? What do you know about my school?" She looked between the two girls.

"Fine, we'll tell you," Amy burst out when Francesco gave Rose a look that made her hairs stand on edge. Everyone in the room froze to look at the redhead. Rose gulped and shook her head slightly. "We're from Offstead," the redhead said randomly. She had really just been stalling, trying to think of a plan to get away from the vampires or give Rory and the Doctor time to break in.

Rosanna laughed. "Put her in the chair," The servants out Amy in a chair and strapped her in. "Think you can fool me? Think you can make fun of me? Well, you've got something else coming," She said lowly. "First, we drain you dry. Then, we fill you with our blood. And one day, you will wake up, and your humanity will be a dream now faded," Rosanna blinked with a lazy smile.

"Or you die," Francesco laughed as he went over to Amy and pushed her hair aside to expose her neck.

"But if you do survive," Rosanna continued. "There will be ten thousand husbands waiting for you in the water. Now," She turned around for a brief second before looking back at Amy to reveal sharp teeth, hissing slightly.

Both Rose and Amy's eyes widened. "Stop!" Rose shouted as Rosanna started toward her friend. She struggled against the servant holding her. "Stop! Take me instead!" She yelled again.

Francesco cackled as Rosanna bit Amy's neck. "Oh, we will. Patience, darling," He said to Rose, who still struggled against the servants until there was a yell from behind her and the servants let her go.

"Yeah, sorry," Amy said lazily, some of her energy drained from being bitten. "I'm kinda engaged," She kicked Rosanna only to see her become some creature with a long tail. She looked somewhere between a fish, scorpion, and spider. But she was scaly and obviously an alien.

Isabella helped Rose unstrap Amy and fight off the other creatures until they ran into the Doctor and Rory, who were being chased by their own creepy girls. The Doctor hugged Rose, momentarily forgetting that the four of them were cornered by the creatures until Amy smacked him upside the head and told him to save their lives before he flirted with Rose. But Isabella came to the rescue and guided them to an exit. She tried leaving with them but the sun burned her skin, forcing her by instinct to go back inside.

The Doctor tried going after her but he was electrocuted by the door. He tumbled down a couple stairs before Rose caught and shook him as Rory did his nurse thing. She prayed he wasn't dead.

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

"There is no upstairs," said Guido after him, the Doctor, Rose, Amy, and Rory heard a noise above where he lived.

"See, I knew you were going to say that," the Doctor grinned triumphantly. "Did anyone else know he was going to say that?"

Rose sighed. "There's never an upstairs when there's a noise," She frowned and shook her head. Though she wasn't exactly scared she was a bit freaked and figured it was an excuse to move closer to the Doctor, so she did. He happily put a comforting arm around her shoulder and rubbed soothing circles with his thumb on her shoulder. Amy smiled at this contact while Rory rolled his eyes, partially because he didn't like the Doctor flirting with Rose and partially because he wished Amy would do what Rose did, so he could comfort her.

A window broke and the girls came into view, with their sharp fangs bared while they hissed. "Aren't we on the second floor?" Rory asked as the Doctor sonicked them to see their true form. They looked just like Rosanna did without her perception filter.

"They've been fully converted. No way to save them," the Doctor said sadly. Rose squeezed his hand as another window broke.

The entire group got up. Rory and Amy ran downstairs and outside, followed by Rose and the Doctor, then Guido. Rose was almost pulled to one of the girls as they ran down the stairs so the Doctor pushed her to go out the door. "Guido!" He shouted when the man took his ultraviolet ray of light and locked them out of the house.

They heard him shout, "We are Venetians!" before the building went up in flames. The Doctor hugged Rose to cover her from the aftermath, since they hadn't run far enough to get out of the range.

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

Rose, Amy, and Rory worked on Rosanna's throne, trying to get it deactivated. They heard a thunderous boom and the ground shook again as the bell tower chimed. The three of them rain outside into the rain and looked up with squinted eyes, all of them shivering slightly from the cold water. Rose looked around. "Where's the Doctor?"

Amy looked around too and then Rory pointed up at the bell tower. "There!" The girls followed his line of vision. The companions and citizens of Venice watched as the Doctor fixed the problem. The clouds disappeared and the sun shone brightly.

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

The Doctor held Rose's hand as they walked with Amy and Rory to the TARDIS. "So, what about you two?" He asked enthusiastically, feeling very proud of himself for bringing Amy and Rory back together. "Take you back to the day of the wedding. Maybe I can give you away!" He exclaimed to Amy, bouncing over to the spaceship, Rose steadying him when he almost fell.

Rory noticed Amy's reluctant look. "It's fine," He sighed, feeling considerably hurt. "Just take me back to your family. I'll tell them you went on holiday or something," He caught sight of Rose, who looked very reluctant to leave too. "Both of you," He added. He felt so alone and abandoned.

"Stay," Amy smiled. She had originally thought that with Rose coming aboard, a fourth would crowd them. But she supposed she hadn't realized how much she missed Rory. "Please," She added at his confused look. "I want you to stay. With me and the Doctor and Rose."

The couple glanced at Rose and the Doctor. "Fine by me," the alien said as the girl nodded eagerly.

"Okay," Rory grinned, his heart filled to the point where he was sure it would burst. "Yes. I would like that."

"Good," Amy gave him a quick kiss and looked between him, the Doctor, and Rose. "I will put the kettle on," She went by the doors at the TARDIS. "Got my spaceship. Got my bestie. Got my boys. My work here is done," She sniffed and went inside.

Rory scoffed. "We are not her boys," He said firmly to the Doctor.

The alien out a hand on Rory's shoulder, guiding him into the TARDIS. "Yeah, we are."

"Yeah, we are," Rory nodded in agreement as he went inside.

Rose chuckled at the three of them. The Doctor stepped aside to let her in. He caught her hand when she passed him. She looked back. "Doctor, what's wrong?" She asked worriedly at the odd look on his face.

"Do you hear that, Rose?" He asked quietly, looking around and trying to see everything.

She listened. "No. Just… silence," She shrugged. "What's wrong?" She asked again, feeling uneasy at the look on his face.

"Nothing…" He put on a smile and rubbed her shoulder to soothe her. "Get in the TARDIS," He wanted to leave as soon as possible, feeling like something was definitely wrong. Rose nodded slowly, still watching him carefully. She decided to just listen and went inside. The Doctor took one last look around, still not hearing anything. "Silence…" He swallowed. He got back in the TARDIS as Rosanna's words echoed in his mind.

There were cracks. Through some we saw Silence and the end of all things.

ROSExDOCTORxROSExDOCTOR

Rose sat up in bed, running a hand through her hair. She couldn't remember what she just dreamed about, but she felt like it was important. Clara sat up next to her, having been woken by the sudden movements. "What happened?" She whispered, studying Rose's face.

The blond shook her head. "I… I don't know…" She mumbled and sighed. "I feel like I should… but I don't. It's important," She chewed on her bottom lip nervously. "Silence. Something to do with silence," She squeezed her eyes shut. "I think," She added, still unsure.

Clara frowned, wondering what that meant. But if Rose didn't know, she would obviously not know since she was just dreaming as peacefully as every night. "Want me to make a cup of tea?" She offered. "Nothing like a good cuppa to settle the nerves," She said insistently.

But Rose just took a deep breath and shook her head again. "No… I just want to go back to sleep…" She didn't like her freaky nightmares and dreams but she wanted to have that dream again, to remember what the Silence was. She laid back down.

Her friend watched her uneasily, still feeling worried. But Rose seemed to fall back asleep quickly and Clara could barely keep her eyes open. She laid back down too and was quickly swallowed by slumber.

A/N: Finally done with this chapter! Once again, I am so sorry it took so long. There was so much happening here and I didn't get a chance to write a lot and I kept rewriting. So, this probably isn't my best chapter. Anyways, I hope you still liked it and please review!

Next chapter will be Amy's Choice. I'll put it up as soon as I can but I'm still getting used to being back from break among some other stuff. So just sit tight. I hope you enjoyed this.
