Rose grabbed hold of the railings and tried not to fall on the floor; Jack and the Doctor were running around each other and the control, working in sync. The Doctors' bruising on his cheek was slowly fading but he still complained it hurt.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked having to shout over the noise.
"I've put it on random!" the Doctor shouted back and reached around the small screen to press a switch but that caused him to lose his balance and fall on the floor. When he tried to stand the TARDIS lurched again causing him to fall again. Jack was running around controlling the TARDIS on his own.
"Just out of reach!"
"Gonna help anytime soon Doc?" Jack shouted trying to reach for a button while holding down a leaver on the opposite side of the controls.
"I'm trying!" the Doctor yelled back.
"Sirius!" Jack called; Sirius was lying on the floor underneath the chair. He soon found that the best place to go when the TARDIS was at full force. The Clabro raised his head and looked at his immortal master, "Get the blue switch for me!"
"Blue switch? That one's just there is doesn't do anything."
"The blue one?" the Doctor asked, he had made it to one of the pillars and was holding on. "That doesn't do anything!"
"They're the blue stabilisers!" Jack yelled back. Sirius seemed to sigh and crawled out from under the chair and made it to the controls with a slight bit of wobbling, he jumped onto his back legs resting his front paw on the control panel and turned the switch with his nose. "Good boy!" Jack shouted at the Clabro returned to under the chair. The TARDIS groaned before she landed.
The Doctor frowned and walked to the controls, "They never did anything before."
Jack smirked, "Did you ever read the manual? Or pass the test?"
"I read the manual but…I failed the test." The Doctor admitted.
"Great, so we've been travelling around with a man who failed how to fly his TARDIS." Rose muttered, "Like going in a car with someone who can't drive."
"Oi!" the Doctor shouted, "I can drive my TARDIS!"
"Course you can." Rose teased. Before he could counter Rose ran to the doors, "So where are we?" The Doctor gestured for her to open the doors. Rose pulled them both open and stepped outside, "Wow…We've landed in the Willie Wonka's chocolate factory!" Rose shouted back into the TARDIS.
"That could be taken in so many ways..." Jack muttered, Rose threw him a glare but turned back to study the planet they landed on.
The grass was the greenest grass she had ever seen; all the trees trunks were coloured either red and white or blue and yellow or green and purple. All the leaves were pink. The river flowing past was dark blue and steaming, she had never seen water that looked more inviting. A stone orange bridge ran over the water, there were few people all around but they were human shaped but red in skin colour and wore the brightest clothes Rose had ever seen. All of them looked happy but none of them seemed to notice they had landed. Rose heard the TARDIS close behind her and the Doctor slipped his hand in hers.
"Ontalinkclotha." The Doctor stated. Rose and Jack looked at him wide eyed.
"Huh?" Rose asked.
"The name of the planet, never been here but it's been said that-"
Jack walked forward standing up straight and burst into song.
"When I met The Doctor
Once I proved my worth
And then I met The Doctor.
What I've waited for since, since birth!
And with all his Doctor wisdom
By my looks he won't be blinded.
Do you think The Doctor is dumb?
Or like Oods he's so small minded?
No.
He'll say to me,
"I see who you truly are, Jack
A man on whom I can rely."
The Doctor joined in suddenly, Rose watched in growing confusion as Jack continued.
"And that's how we'll begin
The Doctor and I!"
Jack ran up and stood onto the orange bridge, the Doctor followed, they both stood looking out at the water. Jack continued singing.
"Once you're with The Doctor
your whole life will change.
'Cause once you're with The Doctor
you are not estranged.
No mother is not proud of you.
No brother acts ashamed.
And all of Time has to love you
when by The Doctor you're acclaimed!
And this gift or this curse I have inside
Maybe at last I'll know why.
When we are hand in hand
The Doctor and I!"
As he sung that the Doctor took Jacks hand and held it in the air.
And one day he'll say to me,
The Doctor took over,
"Jack my boy
A man who is so superior
shouldn't a man who's so good inside
have a different exterior?
And some folks believe it's a fantasy
that in you there's a good man to see
so they'll appreciate you."
Jack re-took the song,
"May I de-fabricate you?
And no of course that's not important to me. Unlimited. My future is unlimited!
All right why not? I'll reply.
Oh what a pair we'll be
The Doctor and I?
Yes! What a pair we'll be
The Doctor and...
And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true the vision's hazy!
But I swear someday they'll be
a celebration throughout Time
that's all to do with me."
Jack paused catching his breath,
"And I'll stand there with The Doctor
feeling things I never felt.
And though I never show it
I'll be so happy I could melt.
And so it will be for the rest of my life
and I want nothing else 'til I die.
Held in such high esteem.
When people see me they will scream.
As part of Times favourite team
The Doctor and I."
"Did I seriously just sing that?"
"That was interesting..."
Jack and the Doctor stayed standing on the bridge for a moment, Jack looked completely befuddled. "As I as saying." The Doctor continued, "It's been known that people will burst into song on this planet."
"I kinda figured that." Jack muttered, "Where'd Rose go?" The men looked around for Rose, she was standing by the TARDIS staring at them in shook, but then she burst into loud applause causing some of the natives to look at her.
"Jack! I didn't know you could sing!" Rose jogged towards them and joined them on the bridge. "You're fantastic! Why have you never sung around me before?"
"I've normally been too busy running to take the time to sing. But thanks," he grinned and winked at Rose, "I'll sing for you anytime you like."
"I'll hold you to that."
"You still owe me a dance!"
"Can you sing and dance?"
"Easy!"
"Well then. It's a date."
"Oi." The Doctor put in weekly.
"Don't worry Doc, you can have me after." Jack said with a wink and lifted their hands. Realizing his hand was still held with Jacks the Doctor let it go with a grimace.
"So," The Doctor said, trying to change the subject. "Shall we explore?"
"Defiantly." Rose took the Doctor's hand as they crossed the bridge.
As they were walking the Doctor's began singing softly.
If you walk away from me
Well you know that I hope that it would sure as hell be
Better than everything
And all that I've let you see
They didn't stop walking, Rose and Jack whistled out a tune.
Tell your mom I said hello But don't let the time that you knew
Tell her sorry that I ever let you go
Far from the life you knew
And all that I put you through
Break you like you broke me
Now that you're free
The Doctor stopped and turned to look right at Rose.
Rose Remember how it all began? It seems like a million years Rose All that I ever could show you was love You saved me more than I could tell Rose
You're fantastic
You know if it can't last
You'll always be the one who knows
You'll always be my Rose
Fantastic Rose
All you had to do was hold my hand
And we've been running all this time it seems
But what does it really mean
So how's it all disappear
Are you still here
You're fantastic
You know if it can't last
You'll always be the one who knows
You'll always be my Rose
Fantastic Rose
And Rose, you taught me how to let go
Of love
Not that I'm desperate but you know just where to cut me
And you did
Right through the bone
But somehow I'm never alone
You're fantastic
You know if it can't last
You'll always be the one who knows
You'll always be my Rose
Fantastic Rose
Rose couldn't stop herself she leant forward and captured the Doctor's lips in a passionate kiss and continued with her own song.
The hot summer night fell like a net. Doctor, Doctor, give me the news
I've got to find my baby yet
I need you to soothe my head
Turn my blue heart to red!
I've got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I've got a bad case of lovin' you!
Rose danced around the Doctor, her feet moving of their own accord.
A pretty face don't make no pretty heart Doctor, Doctor, give me the news I know you like it, you like it on top.
I learned that, buddy, from the start
You think I'm cute, a little bit shy
Momma, I ain't that kind of guy.
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you
Jack raised both his eyebrows at that line, holding in a chuckle.
Tell me, momma, are you gonna stop? You had me down, 21 to zip
Smile of Judas on your lip
Shake my fist, knock on wood
I've got it
Doctor, Doctor, gimme the news
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you!
Rose stopped in front of him and grinned breathing hard. "I'm not the only one who's never mentioned my singing voice." Jack tutted, Rose turned and grinned at him.
"Thanks."
Jack winked at her, "So are we done singing for the moment?"
Rose and the Doctor looked thoughtful for a minute, "Far as I know." The Doctor said. The Doctor re-took Rose's hand as they continued walking. "I'm starving." The Doctor announced.
"When are you not starving?" Rose asked.
"Aren't you though?"
"Well, yeah. But-"
"But nothing!"
"Whatever!" Rose let go of his hand and took Jack's instead, the Doctor poked his bottom lip out and gave Rose puppy eyes. "So, where do you think we can eat?"
"Excuse me?" The Doctor said to one of the natives. A man Rose assumed, he looked at the Doctor, "Is there anywhere to eat?"
"Eat? What's that?" the man asked in a high pitched voice.
"You know? Food," he minded holding a burger and putting it in his mouth to chew, "Nom, Mmm nom." Rose and Jack glanced at each other amused.
"Weird alien..." the red man said shaking his head and walking away.
"That's it. We're leaving." The Doctor ordered, storming back to Rose and Jack, he took Rose's hand and began to walk back to the TARDIS.
"You always think with your stomach don't you?" Jack asked, the Doctor gave him a 'What else would I think with?' look and shook his head, the re-crossed the orange bridge as Rose began to sing again.
"Where do we go from here?"
Jack joined in with her.
"Where do we go from here?
The battle's done, and we kind of won
So we sound our victory cheer.
Where do we go from here?"
Rose and Jack fell silent as the Doctor continued.
"Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near?
Understand we'll go hand-in-hand
But we'll walk alone in fear."
Rose took the Doctor and Jack's hand as Jack joined in.
"Tell me!"
They all sung together looking towards the TARDIS.
"Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close on a kiss, God knows
We can tell the end is near.
Where do we go from here?"
