"We'll be deboarding soon," she said almost ecstatically. "And then it's the tribute parade! But we had better get ready with the other tribute from this district, John, was it?"
Rose nodded, and stood up. The woman held out her hand, and Rose hesitantly took it. They walked to the door of the train, and found the Doctor waiting for them by the door.
"You ready for this?" said the Doctor quietly, and he sounded upset about something. Rose nodded, and bit her lip. Then the door opened.
Rose winced as they pulled another strip of wax off her legs. "How many more of these are you going to do again?" she muttered.
"What's that?" said a woman with blue hair and a butchered british accent.
"Never mind," said Rose, wincing.
A few minutes later, they had moved her into another room with a metal ceiling and a metal floor. Then they had left her alone. She wondered how the Doctor was doing.
Suddenly the door opened, and she sat up.
"Hello," said a blonde man with a normal british accent. "I'm Cinna. You must be Rose."
"What's going to happen here?" Rose asked nervously.
"I'll get to that in a minute. But first, would you mind telling me who you really are?"
Rose had told Cinna everything. She didn't know why, or if she should trust him with knowing that. But it just sort of spilled out. And she hated herself for it.
Afterwards, he pulled out a gold dress with several intersecting circles and lines in a darker shade of gold on it.
"Wow," she breathed. "It looks just like... the symbols on the monitor of the TARDIS..."
Cinna smiled. "That's what you'll be wearing on the tribute parade."
Yay, Cinna knows everything XD Anyway, soooo sorry I haven't updated in months! I've been really, really busy lately - but I finally got it out! Like, follow and review please!
