Okay, so 'ere it goes.
Also, you have to really review, because I'm getting sick of this fic, and I'm considering starting a new one soon, so you have to WANT the chapters.

I'm dead.
It was the only thought running through Rose's mind. But then another one formed…
How can I think, when I'm dead?
Rose's mind snapped back to reality. She was standing in the sun room of a manor, near Melbourne in Australia. There were two girls behind her, and in front of her, was a great big blue box and a man in a brown suit his face struck with horror. In front of them was a lady, draped with furs and blond hair. She had a gun, that was pointing somewhere to Rose's right. It took Rose only a few seconds to realise this, and the horrible idea of where the bullet that had been shot out of the lady's gun had ended.
Her head whipped around. Two girls sitting at a table. One with her eyes glazed over, the other slumped over the table, blood pouring from her head.
"BELLA!" screamed Rose. Her dress wouldn't allow her to move any faster then a fast walk, but she seemed to get to Bella quicker then she would have thought. She knelt down beside the girl, ripping apart of the white underclothes from her dress and bunched it up, putting it to Bella's head in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Hannah and Melissa were by her side doing the same thing, as they both pressed their material to the girl's head.
"She's dead" came a sing-song voice from behind Rose. Her white piece of cloth had already filled up with blood, but it was still coming out. Tears streamed down Rose's face, her eye liner and mascara streamed down with them. She got up and turned to Grace.
"You just killed a little girl! She has a family!" Rose screamed. There was a pause.
"Ooh, someone's not happy" Grace's face dropped.
"Rose" came a calm voice from behind Grace. She stopped, that was all she needed to stop, her name said by that man. Despite everything going on around her, Rose fell to the ground in a sob, her dress bunching up around her, as she cried onto its fabric.
"Grace" came the voice again. Grace spun around to see the Doctor reaching his hands out toward her.
"Give me the gun Grace" the Doctor said calmly.
"I'll kill the other one" she said firmly. He hesitated, before taking a step toward her.
"Give me the gun Grace" he repeated.
"I'll kill myself then" Grace said. She lifted the gun up to her temple, resting her finger against the trigger as she smiled at the Doctor.
"Grace, no. I can take you back home, you can start over as a new Tycorian" The Doctor spoke calmly, but Grace could tell he was pleading with her. She liked to think that someone cared about her existence. But no one did.
Taking a deep breath, she pushed the gun further to her temple and closed her eyes.
Bang
Screams of three girls echoed around the sunroom. Then they cut off, total silence filled the room.
The maid was standing in the corner, her gun raised, pointing to Grace.
"I'm sorry Mistress" she managed to whisper. Grace crumpled to the ground, falling forward. Blood streamed out of her back, her clothes dampening with the red fluids.
"No!" half screamed the Doctor, as he rushed to Grace's side. He turned her over in his arms and just seemed to hold her. She wasn't dead yet, and she stared up at him through tears.
"It might've been nice to go back" she choked out, "But they wouldn't have had me…"
"You'll be fine, Rose, some cloth please?" the Doctor asked. Rose looked up at him and just nodded, starting to rip pieces from her dress.
"No, don't bother Doctor" Grace whispered. He stared down at her like she was insane.
"It's probably time I went… I'll be able to be with Stephan now…" a grimace crossed her face as pain overwhelmed her.
"You have to look after your loved ones Doctor, don't loose them whatever you do" she turned her head toward Rose, who didn't notice that the Tycorian and the Doctor were watching her. Grace patted the Doctor's chest to get his attention. He looked back down to her with worried eyes.
"Take care of her Doctor, and let me go" and she was gone.
OoO
The day was cold and wet. The Doctor and Rose stood outside the TARDIS in the backyard of the white mansion. Rose had changed back into her jeans, t-shirt and hoodie, the diamante eyed dolphin around her neck. A pale faced girl stood in front of them, her brown hair blowing in the wind.
"I don't suppose… you could bring her back?" Clare asked.
"No" the Doctor said gravely. Clare just nodded, but then stopped and started shaking her head.
"I don't know what I'm going to tell her family…" she said, looking out over the paddocks.
"It wasn't your fault Clare" Rose told her. Clare nodded in response.
"I'm going to miss her a lot… she was my best friend… ugh… what am I going to say to her mum and dad?" She was talking to herself. The Doctor looked up, watching the group of girls inside the house. Melissa, Hannah and the maid.
"The maid's driving you back down to Melbourne isn't she?" The Doctor asked Clare.
"Yeah…" Clare responded dully, looking back at the pair, "This is bye isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, we can't stick around too long" The Doctor said.
"That's the way you work… I know" Clare replied. She kicked at the grass with her feet. Trying to keep back the tears that were threatening to streak down her cheeks.
"Will I see you again?" she looked up at them.
"Maybe" the Doctor replied. Clare took two steps and was standing in front of him, she stuck her hand out, and he took it.
"It was nice meeting you Doctor" she said.
"You too Clare" he replied.
"And I'll definitely see you again… I know I will"
OoO
"She'll be okay won't she?" Rose asked the Doctor when they were back inside the TARDIS, she was watching the small screen, seeing Clare standing outside the TARDIS, waiting for them to leave. The Doctor said it was something that she may have wanted to see, so Clare waited.
"'course she will be" the Time Lord replied, flicking a few switches.
"She's a little time traveller in the making" Rose laughed. The Doctor half smiled. The two of them were silent for a while, trying not to dwell on the number of people that had died during the night.
"Where to next?" The Doctor asked.
"Back home… I want to see if everything's okay" Rose replied. The familiar 'whirr' of the TARDIS filled the control room and the central cylinder started pumping. Rose smiled as she saw Clare's face light up on the screen. Clare looked shocked, but totally ecstatic at the same time.
"We'll definitely see her again" Rose said.

And so here ends the story of Rose and the Doctor's journey to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Earth. Maybe not, as there is an epilogue still to be written. Cutest epilogue you've ever seen, well I think it'll be good. Remember to review, as I AM actually thinking of making a new chapter, that isn't epilogue… but you have to want it…
I'm also totally open to ideas about a new Rose/Doctor adventure, as unlike the rest of you, when I write long fics, I don't want them to be totally based around fluff.
Your slave,
