Chapter 8: When Dreams Come True
Tyler Mansion, Rose's Room
Rose was anxious to see the Doctor as she drifted off to sleep.
Tardis
'Rose is falling asleep right now,' the Tardis announced.
The Doctor glanced up at the ceiling with a huge grin on his face. "It's about time," he exclaimed. He stopped what he was doing and sat down, closed his eyes, and focused on the connection with Rose.
Rose's Dream
Rose opened her eyes and looked around with a grin on her face. She was overjoyed to be back in the Tardis, even though she knew it was just a dream. She heard his voice from behind her say, "It took you long enough to fall asleep." Within second he was holding her in a tight embrace. Neither of them wanted to let go. The Doctor pulled back a little, looked into her eyes and said, "Oh, Rose. I miss you, so much."
Rose smiled, put a hand on his cheek, and replied, "I miss you, too." The Doctor put his own hand over hers as they continued to gaze into each others eyes.
The Doctor pulled her over to the bench and they both sat down. Rose broke the silence by saying, "So, how is it that I am able to have this connection even through the void?"
The answer came from the Tardis herself. 'This connection has been forming since you looked into my time vortex, and the connection continues to grow even now. Soon you will be able to communicate telepathically with the Doctor directly because, this is not only a connection to me, but also to the Doctor himself since he removed the vortex from you.' Before Rose or the Doctor could interrupt, the Tardis added, 'It is hard to tell what other abilities will develop until the power starts to manifest. I will inform you of the progress as it happens. Now take this time and spend it together.'
The Doctor put his arm around Rose's shoulders and pulled her closer to him and said, "You know, my transmission was cut off at Bad Wolf Bay and I wasn't able to finish what I was saying." He looked deep into her eyes and continued to say, "Rose Tyler, I love you."
Rose grinned and replied, "Quite right, too." They both laughed. Rose looked back at the Doctor and said, "You know I start working at Torchwood tomorrow. I might be able to find something that will be able to help me get back to you or for you to get here."
"Whatever you do just be careful. You don't want them to become suspicious of you on your first day," he replied. They continued to talk about what has been going on until Rose was awoken by her alarm clock.
