Brain Buffing turned out to be painless, she just lay still as Quelch, the android, operated a machine attached to her head. As she lay still she could see information flowing through her; the history of the universes, the galaxies and stars, the Tardis' and how they were grown using the DNA of the Timelord as its starting block, the complex scripts of Gallifreyan, as well as complex maths and quantum theory.

If only her school had taught students like this, maybe she would have come out of school with more GCSE's, she smiled. It was fascinating suddenly gaining all this knowledge, it felt as though all time and space was open to her. She loved learning about Gallifrey it warmed her to know this was the culture the Doctor was born into. She saw how the Timelords began, learnt about the 6 founders of Gallifrey, who Rasillion was and she saw Gallifrey as it was before its destruction. If only she could visited Gallifrey before the Timewar, it must have been beautiful. To see the two suns shine across the red grass, to see the brown rivers glisten with light and the tree's with silver leaves seeming to be on fire. No wonder the Doctor was devastated by its demise.

"That's enough for today Rose," Dominous walked over to her and smiled and helped remove the brain buffer, "you need a rest you've been doing this for over six hours now"

It was a week later and since that first day she had found Dominous starting to soften towards her. She saw how close Dominous and Terynia were and had no doubt the two would stay together and die together and never spend a day apart.

She had not been able to contact the Doctor again; Dominous shrugged and told her she was trying too hard and that brain buffing used up all the brains resources.

"But I enjoyed it Dominous. I can't believe how beautiful Gallifrey was I can see why you find it hard to deal with its death"

"It will come again, you will see nothing is gone forever" he showed her into the galley and she took her seat at the table.

"Later Rose I will show you how to operate Terynia"

Rose looked up at him her face full of excitement, "Really Dominous?"

"Of course Rose, knowledge is never enough, practice always makes perfect, is that not how the saying goes on Earth?"

She leapt up and gave him a hug and he didn't push away. "Its ok Rose, you will need to know how to operate Terynia before we reach the Crezzin constellation"

Rose stared at him in confusion, "there's nothing there it's just a dead constellation no life, no habitable planets"

He smiled, "I needed a place that was not easily reached, that no other species is likely to come across"

"Why?"

He took her hand, "I'm growing a Tardis for you Rose"

Rose stared at him in wonder, "But it's not possible"

"I'm a timelord, nothing is impossible. Once I found out about you I set about seeding a Tardis"

Rose sat back dumbfounded, "I just can't believe it" she held his hand tight, "you've done so much for me already, taught me so much more than I could ever hope to imagine I don't know how I will ever repay you"

"Rose Tyler, as long as you continue doing what you are dong and try to be the best you can be that is enough for me"

He smiled, he had learnt to admire Rose Tyler. She showed such determination, she reminded him of Theta at the academy same enthusiasm, same curiosity, the same zeal for life. He had a soft spot for this child, the week since she had arrived had gone by and she had taught to him to be happy again. For so long he'd been alone.

Rose felt his emotion and placed a finger to his temple and closed her eyes as she tried to show him how much he meant to her, without being too mushy, and she felt warmth in response.

"Rose Tyler," he said slowly standing back, "Standing here is getting us nowhere, now why don't we go fetch some food before we collapse with weakness, even a Timelord needs substinance"
