Together Once More: Chapter 12

And the award for the worst writer who never, ever updates goes to….

ME!! I really am the worst writer, when I left you hanging off a cliff at the end of the last chapter I though I would update within a week, but I didn't. I'VE BECOME EVERYTHING I HATED: (

(calming down sigh)

Okay I've done my ranting, on with the story…

(I own nothing)


"DOCTOR!!!!!"

Rose was immediately at his side as he lay on the ground.

"How could you?" Rose asked as she turned to Mickey, while still holding the Doctor's hand, "how could you do that to someone who has saved you life countless times and saved you from danger."

"Danger he usually caused."

"That's a lie and you know it. You don't love me. You just hate him and want to see him suffer."

"YES I hate him, and YES, I want to see him suffer, but I do love you. Honestly would I be going to all this trouble for someone I didn't like?"

"Hate is just as powerful an emotion as love, but if you really did love me then you would want me to be happy, and I am happy, with HIM."

She got up and started to walk towards him, she took his hand and slowly pulled the wrench out of his hand and said to him,

"I love you Mickey, I do. But bear in mind after what you just did my love for you decreased by a monstrous amount that will never be regained. And I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For this," and with a quick and elegant swing, she hit him on the head with the wrench. Not hard enough to make him die, but enough to make him fall to the ground unconscious. Rose let the wrench fall out of her hands to the ground at Mickey's feet. She took one last look at him before walking back to help the Doctor.

"What did you do to him?" The Doctor asked Rose as she helped him up.

"I hit him with the wrench."

"What! But what if you killed him or caused permanent brain damage?"

"After what he did to you, I don't care."

Rose helped the Doctor walk to the control panel in the TARDIS and helped him push some buttons so they were flying through the vortex. He walked him over to his bedroom, which he hardly ever used, and if it weren't for the TARDIS's auto-cleaning system, the whole room would be covered in dust.

She helped him to get comfy on the bed before going to get the first aid kit. While Rose was out of the room the TARDIS spoke to the Doctor.

So how are you feeling?

"Like I just got hit on the head with a wrench,"

Typical you answer. I see Rose remembers you now, that's great! Now you can finally tell her how you feel. And please do it soon before it's too late.

"Why would I leave it too late?"

Because you can't admit your true feelings to her. You've given yet another chance, this is fate telling you to speak up, or you'll lose her again and you'll never get her back. So tell her or I will.

"How can you tell her? She can't hear you,"

I have my ways

"Okay here we go," Rose said as she re-entered the room, she sat on the edge of the bed next to the Doctor as she began to look through the kit,

"Were you talking to the TARDIS?"

"Yes, and she says welcome back"

"Anything else?"

"Aahhhhh…… nope, nothing else"

Rose shrugged and then returned to her search for the bandages.

"I am an idiot," thought the Doctor

Yes you are

"Does your head hurt?" Rose asked.

"Not too much now,"

"Is that a little Time Lord trick?" She asked as she began to whip away the blood that was now all over his face.

"Yep, the cut will be all gone by tomorrow,"

"Great, but you're still staying in bed tomorrow,"

"But, but, I'll be fine and you know I can barely sit still for 5 minutes, I know I would never last an entire day,"

"Well too bad because that's what you're going to do, and I'll be withy you all day, we can play UNO,"

"But I stink at UNO!"


The Next Day…

The Doctor and Rose had now been playing UNO for 7 hours straight.

"I win again," Rose declared.

"Okay that makes it 15 all, play one more to win?"

"You're on."

And so they began another game. It went on like this for 10 minutes until they were both left with two cards.

"How about we make this a little bit more interesting?" The Doctor suggested.

"Okay," Rose agreed.

"If I win, you have to go without chips for two weeks,"

"Oh that's harsh. Fine, but if I win then you Doctor, have to spend the next two weeks in the TARDIS, not going on any adventures of any kind, so leaving the TARDIS for any reason what so ever."

The Doctor thought about this, he had trouble sitting still for a day, but two weeks!!

I could never last two weeks, he thought. But then again, the TARDIS is big and there is plenty to do, reading, fixing her up and…… plenty of time to spend with Rose.

"Deal," they shook hands and so the deal was made.

The current card on the table was a yellow 5 which on top Rose placed a green 5, not only changing the colour but declaring UNO with her one card remaining which was a green 7. The Doctor now held a red 7 and a yellow skip and had been ready to put down the skip until Rose changed the colour, he now had no choice but to put down his red 7 and pray that Rose didn't hold a red or 7 card.

"UNO," he declared while putting down his card, Rose hesitated for a moment before putting down her card.

"I win!!" Rose jumped up and down in delight.

"Fine, I won't step out side the TARDIS for two weeks," the Doctor said agreeing to the bet.

"There's a good boy," while patting him on the head, "I'll go start dinner."

And with that she left the room.

The Doctor just sat there for a moment before the TARDIS entered his thoughts.

If I didn't know better, I would have said that you lost on purpose so you could spend two weeks alone with Rose

"Well it's a good thing you me better then that."

Doctor

"It was not on purpose, that was the only card that I could put down."

But you are glad that it turned out like that, aren't you?

"Maybe a little," and suddenly the Doctor did something he never did, he blushed.

Doctor you're blushing

"I am NOT!!"

Yes you are, go look

And so the Doctor walked to the bathroom to find that he actually was blushing.

"Oh my god!"

You look like a tomato

"Thank you very much."

Well you do, so now that you have two weeks alone with Rose, are you going to tell her how you feel? Bearing in mind, your face just gave away quite a lot.

"You can't rush into these things you know, I'll tell her when the moment is right,"

And when will that be, when you are once again about to be parted by time and space, you left it to late last time, don't do it again.

"I swear by every god in the universe, I will tell her, and soon."


There you go, it was going to be longer but I thought you would rather have the story up a lot quicker. I'll try and get the next chapter up really soon.
