{High School Reunion}

The Doctor entered classroom dressed in his normal brown, blue pinstripe suit with a tie and a pair of black sneakers wearing his square shape, "Brainy Glass," and he sat his briefcase down on the desk.

He and Rose had gotten a call from Mickey saying that there was strange things going on at Deffery High School that needed to be looking into, but unknown to the Doctor and Rose he had actually only called to see Rose not for them to find out what was going in school.

"Every body seated comfortably. Good let us begin." said the Doctor and he began to ask the students about physics. He was stunned to find that one young boy answered each question in a book like text.

He knew quickly that Mickey was right about the kids, something was going on with the children. He didn't like it when children were being used for anything. It angered him greatly.

After morning classes they had a break for lunch. The Doctor smiled at Rose, who was working in the kitchen. She looked at him evilly. He knew she hated it that's what made it so amusing to him. He knew once they were done with their investigating she'd never let him forget it. As for now it was worth it.

He sat down at long table and study the students as he ate his lunch. He noticed how well behaved they were. He knew normal kids would be talking loudly and mess would be on the floor for the kitchen staff to clean up.

He saw Rose walked up to him. "This is a very well behaved place. I would be rather be slapping off hoodies. Happy slapping off hoodies with ASBOs. Happy slapping off hoddies with ASBOs and ringtones." said the Doctor happy with himself. "Yea? Yea? Oh, yea don't tell me I don't fit in."

"We've been here for two weeks." whispered Rose. She motioned down to her outfit. "This is me dinner lady."

"I'll have the crumble." he told her.

"I'm so going to kill you." she told him holding in a laugh.

The Doctor threw her a wink just before she walked away back to the kitchen. He sat back and watched the students carefully. He poked a chip with his fork and studied it carefully. It didn't taste right and he sat it back down on his plate.

Rose stood behind several shelves watching the other dinner ladies wearing gloves and face masks bringing in a large barrel. One of the dinner ladies warned them not to spill a drop, and this got Rose wondering what was inside the barrel.

She was interrupted by her phone, she quickly picked up before the other ladies heard it. Mickey informed her about a massive UFO sighting around the area. Then he informed that he couldn't get any other information because it was being blocked by Torchwood. Rose told him that all the staff had been replaced three months ago with new personnel. As they spoke the barrel tipped over spilling it on one of the dinner ladies. She quickly hung up on Mickey to call for an ambulance. One of the ladies told her she was fine even though she heard painfully screaming from inside the side room. Rose looked down and saw golden substance leaking out of the barrel. She knew she would have to inform the Doctor about it once she got the chance.

Headmaster Finch walked down the hall with Sarah Jane Smith, who was going by Elizabeth Sladen to get information about the school strange school records. The Headmaster opened the door to the staff lounge he introduced her to the staff and told them that she was writing a profile about him for the Sunday Times, and that it would be a good idea to get a prospective from trenches. He excused himself and closed the door behind him.

"Hello," said walking up to the Doctor.

He smiled, "Oh, I should think so."

"And you are?" she asked.

"John Smith," said the Doctor introducing himself.

"John Smith. I use to have friend that went by that name."

The Doctor smiled, "Well, it's a very common name."

"He was a very uncommon man. Nice to meet you." said Sarah Jane.

"Nice to meet you. Yes, very nice. More then nice. Brilliant." he said as he watched her walk away from him.

Meanwhile in math class Mr. Wagner watched the students work at their computers at top speed as a green box on the screen swirled around in alien symbols and numbers. All but one kid roamed the halls knowing something was going with his fellow students but didn't know what to do to help.

Later on that night, Sarah Jane climb through the window hope to explore even though the Doctor, Rose and Mickey were already in the school. The Doctor sent Mickey to search in the math classrooms.

He watched Mickey walk down the hall. He grabbed Rose's arm gently and pulled her in closer. "Be careful," and he gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

"One more." She told him, and kissed her one more time before she hurried off to the kitchen to get an sample of the oil.

But unknown to the couple Mickey stood down the hall and watched the couple share a kiss. He turned on his heels angry that Rose chose an alien over him once again.

Sarah Jane stood in front of the Finch's office trying to break in, when she noticed she was being watched. She quickly ducked into a storage cabinet where she found the TARDIS. Bewildered she backed out of the storage room to head for the gym, and she saw, "John Smith," wearing his long tan coat.

He stepped forward and said, "Hello Sarah Jane."

She looked at the man in front of her slightly stunned, "It's you…Doctor? Oh my God it's you, isn't it? You've regenerated."

The Doctor replied, "Half a dozen times since we've last met."

She looked at him from his spiky brown hair, sideburns, deep brown eyes, freckled cheeks to his brown, blue pinstripe suit and sneakers.

"You look…incredible."

"So do you." he told her.

Sarah Jane shook her head. "I got old. What are you doing here?"

"Well, UFO sightings, school gets record breaking scores. I couldn't resists. And you?" he asked.

"The same." They looked at each other and shared a laugh. "I though you died. I waited for you, and you never came back. I thought you died."

"I lived. Everyone else died." he told her gravely.

"What do you mean?" asked Sarah Jane slightly puzzled.

"Everyone died." he told her again.

"I don't believe it's you." They heard a scream. "Now I believe you."

"Rose," said the Doctor and ran down the hall. He knew that wasn't her scream but that was the first thing that went to brain.

The Doctor and Sarah Jane ran down the hall, and they ran into Rose. He quickly pulled her into his arms.

"You all right?" he asked. Rose nodded and he quickly kissed her on forehead and took her hand and continued their way down the hall.

The trio found Mickey in storage closet with vacuumed sucked rats. The Doctor made a crack joke at Mickey screaming like girl and seeing him in a dress and pigtails. Sarah Jane telling them they were for biology, and Rose informed her that the schools didn't use rats anymore.

"Who are you anyway?" asked Rose taking the Doctor's hand.

He took it and gave it a gentle squeeze. He lifted her hand and pressed his lips against her soft flesh. "Sarah Jane meet Rose Tyler. Rose meet Sarah Jane. She use to travel with me." He saw her raised a brow at the older woman. He took aside and cradled her face gently with his hands. "Listen to me Rose Tyler, just because Sarah Jane traveled with me doesn't mean I don't love you. I can spend the rest of my life with you, and you can spend the rest yours with me. Love, the TARDIS gave you two hearts for a reason. You saved my life after the war Rose. I was hard and you saved me from myself. And the universe help me I can't nor will I spend another day without you Rose Marion Tyler."

"Yea?" said Rose.

The Doctor smiled, "Yea. I love you and don't you ever doubt that. I will never leave you," and lowered his head and gently captured her lips with his own. He pulled back and rested his forehead on hers, "We have a mystery solve." He grabbed her hand and jerked it slightly causing her to laugh.

Sarah Jane looked at the Doctor and Rose wondering what was going on. He never got involved with his companions. They came close but never did he say he loved any of them. It got her wondering what was so different about Rose Tyler. And what did he mean the TARDIS gave her two hearts? She would have to find out. If he could spend his life with her and she made him happy then she wasn't going to stand in his way of happiness.

As they continued down the hall to Finch's office Rose told them that she use to think that the teachers use to sleep in the school. The Doctor unlocked the door and they looked up and saw bat-like creatures hang on the ceiling. Mickey reframed himself from screaming and ran from the school. The Doctor looked over at Rose muffled a laugh not to wake the bat creatures. Sarah Jane followed the couple out of the school.

Sarah Jane led the group to her car and opened the back and the Doctor smile. It was a rusty metal dog with side of panel missing.

"K-9! Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith meet K-9 mark III to be precise." said the Doctor happily.

"Why does he look so…disco?" asked Rose.

"Oy! Listen in the year five thousand this was cutting edge. What happened to him?" asked the Doctor.

"Just one day-nothing." said Sarah Jane.

"Well, didn't you try to get him repaired?" asked the Time Lord.

"It's not like getting parts for a Mini Metro. Besides the technology in him could change the face of human science. I couldn't show him to anyone." said Sarah Jane.

"Oo, what has the nasty lady done to you?" asked the Doctor cooing as he scratched the medal ear.

"Can you stop petting the medal dog for a moment we have work to do." said Rose and turned to Sarah Jane and smiled, "Beside maybe the Doctor can fix him."

The Doctor smiled at the dog one more time and closed the trunk. They got into the car and drove to a nearby dinner to process the oil that Rose had found.
