Longer than usual just for you guys:) reached over a hundred follows today, I nearly died.
My dad asked me if any people were following were following it, and I was like um... *checks thing* 110 OMG WHAT.
Might be a double update, but don't get hopes up it depends on how soon Thanksgiving dinner is... Yes I'm American.
Rose hated being tied up. She could only squirm as she watched the Doctor being bound to a slab of metal, while she, Jack, and Wilfred were tied to chairs.
"Now then. I've got a planet to run!" The Master clapped his hands. "Is everyone ready?"
"Six billion," said the former Mr. Naismith, "seven hundred and twenty seven million, nine hundred and forty nine thousand and three hundred and thirty eight versions of us!"
"That's bloody brilliant." Rose said, before she was gagged for 'offending the Master'. Wilfred's phone began to chime and they all went white. That only meant one thing, Donna was calling, and she hadn't changed.
"How is that possible?" the Master asked,"How is that ringing?"
"Probably just one of those machine calls." Jack said in an off hand voice. The Master approaced Wilfred and pulled his phone from his pocket.
"Donna?" he asked, reading the caller ID, "Who is Donna?" Rose's face went white. Donna wasn't human anymore. How could they be as stupid as to forget that?
"She's no one. Just leave it." Wilfred said, begged.
"Gramps!" Donna's panicked voice came through the speaker, "Gramps everyones changing!"
"Why didn't she change?" The Master asked, looking from Rose, to Wilfred, to Jack, who looked just plain confused, and than to the Doctor, who looked determined.
"I can see them again!" Donna screamed, her voice emiting from the speaker the only sound in the room. "The monsters!"
"Donna don't think about them!" Wilfred cried and Rose shut her eyes, she couldn't plug her ears, couldn't block out her screams.
"My head it... it hurts!" There was silence.
"Donna! Donna love!"
"Did you honestly think I'd leave my best friend without a defense mechanism?" the Doctor asked, and Rose grinned at him. Thank god.
"What happened?" Jack asked, but he shook his head. Another time than.
"Where is your TARDIS?" the Master demanded, abandoning the topic of Donna to their relief.
"Like he's gonna tell you." Jack and Rose (who tried to speak through her gag) said at the same time.
"You could be so wonderful." the Doctor said quietly, and Rose left all amusment behind as she stared into his old eyes. He was in pain, she could see that, every single moment with this man was putting him in more pain.
"Where is it?" the Master demanded again.
"You're a genius. You're stone cold brilliant, you are. I swear, you really are. But you could be so much more. You could be beautiful. With a mind like that, we could travel the stars. It would be my honour. Because you don't need to own the universe, just see it. To have the privilege of seeing the whole of time and space. That's ownership enough." Rose felt Jack's lips tickling her ear as he leaned in to whisper something to her.
"Taller than the Master." he muttered, jerking his head towards one of the guards. She just jerked her head. How was that important?
"Listen to it. Listen!" the Master cried.
"Then's let find it. You and me."
"Except-" the Master broke off, "Oh!" he looked delighted, "It's her! You've proven it with your words." he grinned. "if you don't tell me where the TARDIS is, she dies." a guard hauled Rose to her feet and pressed a gun to her head.
"Rose!"
"Don't you dare." she said, as one of the guards tore the gag out of her mouth, presumably so they could hear her scream. "Don't you dare tell him where the TARDIS is." she was shaking, this isn't what she had bargained for. "I'm not worth that." she squeezed her eyes shut. "Everything dies. Everything falls." she pressed her lips together.
"I need that technology Doctor. Tell me or she dies."
"Don't you dare."
"Oh you're so stupid." The Doctor said, and Rose opened her mouth in outrage.
"OI!"
"I wasn't talking about you." the Doctor rolled his eyes. "You see, Master," Rose glared, "You really should notice that a guard is taller than everyone else, seeing as they're all you." Then the Master was knocked out by a cactus. Rose never thought she'd think that.
" God." the cactus said, "I've never hit anything in my life!"
"God bless the cactuses!" Wilfred cried.
"That's cacti." the Doctor corrected.
"That's racist!"
They hadn't quite managed to get the Doctor off his lab slab. So they were wheeling him towards the basement.
"NO NOT THE STAIRS!" he cried, but Thump! Thump! Thump! "We need to get back to the TARDIS!"
"We're going to our ship!" Adams yelled as they entered the basement, "Clara have you got the teleports ready?" A short slim woman nodded.
"Clara Oswin Oswald at your service!" she said, gripping the Doctor and Rose's hands in hers tightly,"Mind you, you haven't met me yet, but..." she trailed off, "Just in for a few minutes thats what he told me."
"Who told you?" Rose asked, but they were teleported.
When Rose stood up, in what must be the Cacti's ship, she looked around for the girl Clara. He told me. What did she mean by that?
"We've got to close the ship down!' The Doctor yelled, and Rose jumped up after him.
"No chance mate. We're going home." Rossiter began, but-The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at the controls and the lights went out.
"Oh no you're not." he said. "We're staying here."
"This is the thanks we get for saving you?" Adams demanded. "We can't get back down to Earth now anyways."
"Yep!" The Doctor said cheekily, and stalked out of the main control room. Knowing she probably shouldn't, Rose followed him.
"How are you?" she asked, there was no point in asking him what was wrong, it was pretty obvious from the state the world was in. They were in what she assumed to be the viewing room, full of steps and windows and computers. He was sitting down on one of the steps, staring broodily out at the Earth.
"Okay." he said, and she slipped down next to him.
"I'm just okay too." she said, and leaned her head on his shoulder. "because that's not what okay means is it?" she felt his body shake slightly, as if he was suppressing a sob, or a laugh.
"If we don't stop this, the Earth is gonna burn." he said, and she moved to stand near the window.
"Like Gallifrey?" she asked, and his eyes blazed. "I can see it in your eyes." she whispreed, and reached up to touch his face, but he drew back.
"And it would all be my fault." he said, "again."
"OI!" she said, annoyed. "Don't you dare blame yourself."
"Rose-"
"No!" she said, suddenly angry. "I was left on a parallel world for three years, and I didn't even hear the end of that sentence until Jack made you don't hear me complaining about how everything is your fault!"
"Rose." he said, just her name, and she, against her will, felt tears prickling her ears. "Come here." he drew her towards him, and pressed his lips against hers.
She had waited so long to do this, and she pressed herself against him, winding her fingers through his wonderful, wonderful hair. His hands were on her waist, and she finally knew what it was like to kiss a time lord when she wasn't possessed. He was her Doctor, and he was the best thing that had ever happened in her dull life (sorry Mickey), he had taken her away, showed her the world. She could feel tears running down her face, she had waited so long to find him again, all those years in the other universe. A universe where the only blue box she saw was just that, a box.
He was her madman.
"About time!" Jack said from behind them, and they both whipped around. "I told Martha I could do it!" he grinned, "The Jack Master is back at work."
"You and Martha?" the Doctor asked, and Rose was just as confused as he was.
"Yep." Jack grinned. "Oh, and while you two are busy snogging, Wilfred is in shock."
They followed Jack, the Doctor gripping Rose's hand as if he would never let it go. Wilfred was standing in front of a very small window, staring in awe at the suspended Earth.
"But we're in space!" Wilfred said.
"Yep." Rose said, popping her P.
"What are we gonna do now than?" Adams demanded, "You've left us with no power!"
"So they couldn't track us." The Doctor explained. He let go of Rose's hand and knelt by the machine. "Let's see if we can get this working again."
"Doctor look!" Rose cried, pointing towards what looked like a white star falling towards the Earth.
"It's starting." the Doctor said gravely, and Rose followed Adams towards a diffrent part of the ship to check on something. Wilfred knelt beside the Doctor.
"Got this old ship mending?" he asked, and the Doctor sighed.
"Managed to fix the heating, that's about it." he leaned back, and watched as Jack tossed Rose, who had just come back, over his shoulder, and carried her away, their shrieks of laughter echoing back. Trust those two to make things even crazier.
"I've always dreamed of a view like that." Wilfred was waving towards the Earth, but the Doctor was watching Rose as she playfully hit Jack, her blonde hair swaying slightly as she moved.
"Yeah." he said.
"I'm an astronaut!" Wilfred laughed, "Look at that." The Doctor laughed too, smiling a little. "My wife's buried down there." he said in a more somber note, "Do you think it changed her?"
"I'm sorry." the Doctor said.
"No, it's not your fault. At least you got her safe." he nodded his head towards Rose, who had a pistol clutched in her grip, and Jack was showing her the correct way to fire it. The Doctor shuddered, "her and Donna."
"Isn't it my fault though?" the Doctor asked, "Isn't everything?"
"1948 I was over there." Wilfred pointed to England. "Skinny little idiot I was..." he trailed off and the Doctor took off his glasses.
"I kissed Rose." he said out of the blue. "I should have done it sooner."
"Well at least you did it." Wilfred said.
"No, you don't understand." the Doctor stood up. "My time, as this Doctor, is running out." he sighed, "she will knock four times. I can only assume that means Rose."
"It's all the Master's fault though." Wilfred said, "Not hers."
"I know that." the Doctor said, "and I know I can't tell her."
"War is hard." Wilfred said, "and you have gotta kill the Master." he pressed a gun in the Doctor's hand. The Doctor dropped it as if it was on fire, and grimaced. "When you're old you understand that."
"I'm older than you." the Doctor said, and Wilfred scoffed.
"No way." he said, and the Doctor chuckled.
"I'm 906."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"We must look like insects to you." Wilfred picked up the gun.
"I think you look like giants." the Doctor said, looking back towards Rose, who was beginning to walk back towards them.
"Oh just take the gun Doctor. Please." the Doctor shook his head.
"Never."
"But... if you take it-"
"You had that gun in the mansion." the Doctor said, "You could have shot the Master then and there. Why didn't you?"
"To scared, I suppose." Wilfred said looking down at the gun.
"I'd be proud." the Doctor said. "If you were my Dad."
"Than listen to your Father," Rose said from behind them, "I know you hate guns, I do too, but you need to protect yourself." the Doctor took the gun, but cast it back down.
"Never." Rose sighed.
"Almost thought I convinced you there." she threw her gun down on top of his. "Than I won't either."
"No-"
"If you aren't, then I won't either." she gave him a brief hug, his pink and yellow...alien? "We'll figure it out." she said.
"A star fell from the sky." The Master's voice echoed, and Rose looked around, panicked.
"What?" she gasped.
"It's an open broadcast!" Adams explained as she dragged her partner away from the controls, "Don't respond or they can find us."
"Don't you want to know where from?" The Master asked, and Rose gripped the Doctor's hand. He gripped it tightly, staring upwards at the speaker that terrible voice was emitting from. "Because now it all makes sense. The whole of my life, my destiny! The star was a diamond. And that diamond was a white point star!" The Doctor went white. "And I can use it as a lifeline!"
"What does he mean Doctor?" Rose demanded. The Doctor looked terrified as he let go of her hand and backed up, his brown eyes wide. Rose was quite nervous for him, and tried to follow his progress, but was held back by Jack.
"The white point star is only found on one planet." the Doctor said in a shaky voice, "Gallifrey. The timelords are returning."
DUN DUN DUN.
How did you like their kisses? Wooooooop.
