30 Thoughts: Rose
Glass
"Ouch, Doctor! That HURTS!" Rose couldn't help yelling as he tried to remove the large chunk of glass from the underside of her right foot. He was tightly grasping her foot, attempting to extract the piece without causing her too much harm, but she kept moving around. "If you hadn't been barefoot in the wardrobe, this never would have happened!" he replied, exasperatedly. "And please, STOP WIGGLING AROUND!" he yelled. Rose tried to stop moving, she really did. She tried to stare and focus on a point in the console room, but nothing would keep her mind away from the fact that the Doctor was touching her foot. Add that to the fact that the chunk of glass really did hurt, plus the slight view of a trickle of blood from the wound…and it was simply a lost cause. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she felt the sweet release of pain that came from when the Doctor finally removed the glass. "There we go," he said softly, accidentally breathing his warm breath onto her foot, causing her to fidget slightly. He looked up at her, sternly, "I've got the piece out, why are you still moving?" She felt her blood rush to her cheeks. "No reason, Doctor," was all she could say, finding her focal point on the wall once again after the Doctor began applying bandages to her injury.
Plane
"So, what you're trying to tell me…is that you've been everywhere in time and space, helped restore historic events…but you've never been on a plane before?" questioned Rose. The Doctor merely smiled manically and nodded his head. All Rose could do was laugh loudly and exclaim what she knew and loved about the Doctor, "You're mad!"
Heart
Rose could see how hard it was for the Doctor when she told him that she loved him. She was scared to finally say the words…the words that so embodied everything that he meant to her. She didn't expect them to be said back to her, she felt that the important part was letting him know that no matter what, someone in existence loved him. Oh, and how she loved him. She couldn't remember how it felt not to love him, not that she wanted to. But now that she was going to be forced away from him, she'd have to learn to occupy her mind with other things…because she could never forget nor ignore the love she feels and will always feel for him.
So, when he said, "I suppose, if it'll be my last chance to say it. Rose Tyler…" she thought that maybe, just maybe she'd be able to hear it, for the first and last time. That maybe, all those instances where she felt that there may have been something, could have been something, really did happen. But, of course, the universe has its tendency of playing its cruel jokes on the pair, having time run out and the last image of the Doctor she'd have would be of him disappearing, never finishing his sentence. She let herself crumble then, her heart breaking, and disappearing with the man who had taught her how to live.
