A/N - And here we are, the beginning of...The Curse of the Black Spot... A thanks to Eyrion to bringing up the fact that my chapters were moving a bit fast. I think I was doing that partly because I'm lazy, another part is hopefully you've seen this season(once or repeatedly in my case) so there are no spoilers, and lastly is the fact that I really don't like River... I'll try to make them a bit longer for each episode, maybe two or so chapters each? Sound good?

Rose woke up a couple hours later, surprised to hear a knock at her door. She sat up, wondering if it was only her imagination. She pushed her hair out of her face and looked at her tear stained pillow. God, this is really pathetic. She thought, punching her pillow. She heard the knock again and looked in the mirror. Her face was horrid. She sniffed and pushed herself off of the bed. She smiled when she saw that the TARIDS had created a spy hole in her door so she could see who it was before opening. Rose looked out and saw Amy standing there, well a distorted Amy. She sighed and opened the door.
"It took me forever to-" Amy began, sounding exasperated. She stopped herself when she took in the state of her face. "Rose, what happened? Are you alright?" she asked, sounding severely worried. Rose looked past her, down the hallway. She wasn't sure why though. Her room was in such a secluded part of the TARDIS that she doubted that anyone else would be coming. She walked away from the door, allowing Amy to follow her in. Amy quickly strode across the small room and quickly sat at the end of her bed. She looked around the room, taking it in. "So, I'm guessing that this is your…" Amy asked, not needing to finish the sentence.
"Yea."
"It's nice." Amy complimented weakly.
"For a nineteen year old maybe." Rose scoffed. Her walls were still covered with the bands she adored at the time, they barely covered the pale pink walls behind them. The tan wooden floor had a rather large rug dominating the middle of the floor, also pink. Her first Doctor often joked that it looked like a Slitheen had exploded in her room, if they were pink. She smiled at the memory. She was suddenly aware of Amy watching her with an odd look.
"Are you alright?" she repeated.
"Yea, fine." Rose replied softly. She looked at her feet, not wanting to meet Amy's hard gaze.
"Rose," she said just as softly, as if she was speaking to a timid animal that was easy to spook. "You can beat around the bush as long as you want. Just know that I will be around if you ever need to talk." She stood and walked to the door. Rose stood in the middle of her room, her arms folded across her chest. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She wasn't used to people telling her that they were there for her. With the Doctor, it was an unspoken thing, always there no matter what. She realized now, that it was a good thing to hear once and a while. Before Amy could leave, Rose spoke up suddenly, causing her to pause, her hand on the handle.
"Amy, thanks. I might take you up on that." She said as she wiped the tear from her face. Amy gave her a small smile before exiting the room. Rose sighed as she wiped another tear from her face. She walked over and sat in the impression Amy had just left. She cradled her forehead in her hands, her headache was worse today, far worse. She had a good day yesterday, the pain seemed to dull down a bit. She didn't think that it was anything to do with Bad Wolf, the Doctor had explained that that's what had made her, what she was, and doing so saved her life as well as taking the rest of the energy. She was, apparently void of all Bad Wolfiness, as he called it.
She gasped as the pain in her head changed from a dull throb to a sharp pain, almost as if something was forcing its way into her head. Not her mind, her physical head. She clutched at her head as a pressure built along with the sharp pain. Soon, but what seemed like an hour, the sharp pain receded, leaving the pressure in its wake. She leaned back and laid on her back on her bed, hoping for the pressure to pass before she did anything too strenuous. After a few seconds, she thought she saw something move behind her. She saw a flash of white, like a shirt a doctor would wear, but when she turned fully there was nothing. The only thing she got was her head protesting at the sudden movement. She was about to lay back down when she saw a woman standing in front of her door. She wore a black leather shirt and skirt combo. Her dark brown hair was piled on top of her head and she had an eye patch over her right eye.
"How much did you give her?" she asked someone behind Rose's head.
"Just 12cc like you said." A deep voice came from behind her. Rose spun around to see nobody standing there.
"Good, monitor her and give me a report in an hour." The woman ordered before turning, opening the door, and leaving. Rose immediately stood up and ran to the door, ignoring her head. She wretched the door open, only to find the hallway empty. She looked around in confusion before heading, she hoped, in the direction of the console room.
Rose had to wander around for another hour before she found the console room again, she shot an angry look at the TARDIS walls. Maybe this was her way of telling Rose that she needed the exercise. She walked into the console room to find the Doctor fiddling, rather frantically, with the controls.
"What's got him all wound up? This time." Rose added as an afterthought as she sat down next to Amy, bumping their shoulders. Amy and Rory were watching the Doctor work frantically on getting them where they need to go.
"For starters, we just got a distress call. Yes, I know, another one. People just can't stop being in dire situations can they?" She joked as Rose rolled her eyes. "And the other thing is you."
"What?" Rose asked, wondering if she heard wrong.
"You heard me." Amy said before she sighed and looked at her. "He had just said good-bye to River and you had disappeared. He kept saying that the TARDIS wouldn't tell him where you were." She laughed at how the Doctor was acting. "He didn't know where you were." She finished, turning back to the Doctor. Amy was oblivious at how far Rose's heart sunk when she heard that. He didn't even think to check her room. The Doctor's whoop brought her out of her thoughts.
"Found it, locked on, and we are heading there now!" he yelled gleefully.
"You sure we aren't a month behind? I remember what can happen in a month." Rose said, remembering the day she met Jack. The Doctor turned and looked it looked as though he just realized that she was there.
"Now where have you been?"
"You know, around." She replied mysteriously, waving her hand about.
"Why wouldn't the TARDIS tell me where you were?"
"That's between you and her." They landed before the Doctor could reply. He ran to the doors, flinging them open. The others followed him to find that they were in some sort of storage area in a ship. They heard talking coming through some grating a few feet away. The Doctor walked over to it and began to bang on it. The talking stopped and the Doctor banged a few more times. The voices grew louder and drew closer until the hatch was opened and the four of them saw the faces of pirates staring down at them. The Doctor looked at them for a second before his face split into his trademark smile.
"Yo ho ho!" he said jauntily. Seeing no response from any of the men, his face fell. "Or does nobody actually say that." He said sadly. The pirates looked at the man in front before pulling them from the storage area and towards, what seemed like, the captains quarters. Rose rolled her eyes as she was being hauled away. There was something about this one that it felt like it wasn't going to end well…
