I'm going to try to make this chapter longer :) I should probably succeed but how should I know? I don't own Doctor Who and I hope you all and Shawn enjoy the story!
Doctor POV
I fell asleep while thinking, and woke up groggily. I mean I hadn't slept in a while, and it was about that time again, but sleeping is such a waste of precious, precious, precious time, don't you think? Of course not. I'm more brilliant than you are, but that's not the point. I got up and brushed my hair, before going out the door, to look for Amy and Rory. I found them eating their bread and butter at the table. How do they stand that stuff?
"Hello," I greeted, getting out my Fish Fingers and Custard, dipping a Fish Finger into the Custard and taking a big bite.
"Whats wrong, Raggedy Man, you look bothered," Amy observed and I shrugged, taking another big bite of Fish Finger.
"Nope," I said, in-between my bites. "So where do you all want to go next, hmm? Fancy some running?"
"Hmm, somewhere pretty and peaceful. It's always easier to run in pretty and peaceful areas. especially when running from a bunch of angry villagers," Amy commented.
"Better than Whitechapel, 1888," Rory replied and a smile broke out on my face.
"I can't believe they tought I was Jack the Ripper," I commented, and we all laughed slightly at the memory of figuring out who exactly Jack the Ripper was.
"Yep. Let's never visit 1888 ever again," Rory said.
"Oh wait. Where is Rose?" I asked, suddenly realizing that Rose wasn't around. For emphasize I looked under the table and then behind my hair, hoping to find Rose somewhere around. "Roseeee," I called. I looked back at Amy and Rory, expecting an answer when Rose came in.
"I'm right here, Doctor," she said, rolling her eyes. She sat down at the table and smiled slightly. I looked at her, taking her in. Her light mascara was slightly smeared, and her eyes were a little to red, and her fists looked like they had been clenched, I leaned closer to her, ignoring the weird looks I was getting. I put my hand to her cheek, feeling the warm of her and the feel of where tears had obviously trailed down her cheeks. Then I grabbed the top of her hand, smelling it. Next I sniffed each of her shoulders and her arm. She smelled like someone I knew...
"You look tired. What were you doing anyways?" I asked her. She looked at me weirdly.
" Trying to sleep," she replied, I took one of her hands in mine, secretly checking her pulse. Fast. Too fast. I looked into her eyes at her pupils. Dilated. She fidgeted ever so slightly, and seemed reluctant to meet my gaze. Her hair was slightly a mess, meeting her excuse from sleeping, but she could have messed it up her self while crying. She had a stressed looking on her face, but she also looked worried and a little bit regretful. I stood up and rushed out of the room, letting go of Rose's hand gently.
"You should get some sleep," I told her as I left the room. I went straight to the Control room, and checked the coordinates. Cardiff. Cardiff, Cardiff, Cardiff.
"Cardiff, Cardiff, Cardiff. Who do I know in Cardiff? I know... Jack. I know Jack. He smells weird though... like Rose.. Does.. Right... Now..." I muttered to myself slowly. I gripped the Console and my hair fell in my face as I let my head droop. She's went out to see Jack. Why didn't she just tell me? What would I would have cared? SHe's just out to see a friend, what's the problem? It's not like I'd stop her or anything, I don't care! It's her life! I just want her to be safe. "Why won't she tell me anything! Why doesn't anyone ever just tell me what the problem is! No, no, no I have to go searching for it like Sherlock Holmes!" I exclaimed frustrated.
'Calm down she will tell you why at one point' The Tardis assured me, but I ignored her assurance.
"I'm sure," I replied grumpily, running a hand through my hair in frustration like I did in my previous regeneration. I looked around the Tardis, breathed in a deep breath and then out a deep breath. That Tardis was probably right, well she's always right. Rose would come around, eventually.. I just got to calm down and such...
Rose POV
After the incident in the kitchen I went back to my room and sat on the floor, thinking. What was he doing? What is he doing? I bet he knows I lied. Why did I lie? I should just go tell him I went to see Jack, and then everything will be fine. Except for the fact that I'm not aging and I don't know why. What if he decides he doesn't want me anymore, for being an anomaly like Jack? Its settled I can't tell him about the aging thing. Or anyone for that matter. Only Jack, because Jack won't be able to accidentally tell him. I just need to clear the Jack thing up... But what if he kicks me out for that?
"Rose? What are you doing?" The Doctor asked suddenly, and I looked up in surprise. I was in the Control Room. Right in front of the Doctor.
"I don't know. How long have I been here?" I asked him confused.
"About ten minutes, just staring at me," the Doctor replied, sounding slightly flustered. I cursed myself quietly and then pulled at my hair, slightly.
"Sorry, I was thinking," I admitted.
"Penny for you're thoughts?" The Doctor asked, I shuffled, but breathed in a breath and out again.
"I...lied to you..." I said, slowly.
"Mmm," he replied. I figured he had known, of course he knew. He was way smarter then I sometimes think he is. I am constantly forgetting that I can't lie to him. Why do I forget that?
"I went out to talk to Jack is all," I told him, leaning against the Control panel.
"Why'd you lie about it?" He asked, and I really didn't know the answer.
"How'd you know I lied?" I asked the Doctor. He averted his attention to the Control Panel.
"You had mascara run down on you're cheeks, I could feel the tear trails when I touched you're face. You had dilated pupils, and I checked you're pulse, too fast. Also, you were neglecting to look me right in the eyes and you were fidgeting," the Doctor explained, and I puffed out my cheeks.
"Oh, did you know I was with Jack?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah, you smelled like him," the Doctor replied, and then looked me into the eyes. "But why lie about it? You're a free person, a free human, you can do what you want?" The Doctor asked and I flinched at the word human, since I obviously wasn't he looked at me weird because of that.
"I just... I guess.. I was scared..." I managed out. He looked at me, as if he couldn't decipher who I was anymore. I felt self-conscious all of a sudden, afraid of what would happen. Would he kick me out? He probably would, I did lie to him and all. Why did I do that again? Right. No duh. Just breath. I breathed in a deep breath and then breathed out.
"I understand if you want me to leave, I'll just go... I'll just go back to Jack, Ianto, Gwen, Owen, and Tosh and help them with Torchwood stuff. They won't mind I am a part of the team now, so it won't really matter, I'll just say bye to Amy and Rory," I started and the Doctor looked at me funny.
"What? No! No! No! Don't leave! It's fine, I don't want you to go! Anyways you can't go," he said, smugly.
"I can't?" I asked him, confused.
"Nope. You promised me forever," he pointed out and I small smile appeared on my face.
"I guess I can give forever now," I muttered and he gave me a weird look. "Since, I am back from the parallel Universe." I quickly added, and then immediately cursed myself for still not telling him. If he noticed my worried look he ignored smiling at me.
"So you're stuck with Amy, Rory, the Tardis, and I," he said proudly.
"Oh so you have resorted to kidnapping now," I teased, an amused smile playing on my lips.
"No, it's stealing. I stole the Tardis and know I'm stealing you," he replied, knowingly.
"You stole the Tardis?" I asked, curiously.
"Yep, and knows she's my property," he replied.
"So I'm you're property too?" I asked, a laugh begging to pass my lips.
"N- That's- Wh- I- Y- You're not Jack's property anymore at least," he stuttered, and then sent the Tardis into the Time Vortex, the Tardis lurched and the two of us fell to the floor. I looked at him as I lay on my back and he looked at me. We both began laughing hysterically, just like we used too. Out of habit, I yawned a big yawn. Not because I was tired either.
"You should get some sleep," the Doctor encouraged me. I knew I didn't need any sleep but I nodded to humor him.
"Ok, night," I said, and left the control room back to my room.
Ok! That took a while to write, and I liked it, but you know, it's not always my opinion that counts in the author world. And according to just stuff lately I should just write and do nothing else. Yep. Well beside;s school-y stuff. Anyways I hope you all liked this update! Tell me if I was a bit OC please. Or don't. I don't care if you review or not. I am writing this story to the finish if anyone likes it or not. Just to have a sense of completeness. And a bit of a forewarning, I am rubbish at writing ends.
