Rose was now on Earth. Back 'home'. But now she was home, she didn't know what to do. She had no family, no home and no money. She watched, from the end of the street, as the TARDIS, her home, materialized out of sight.

The Doctor froze by the console as he left London, and put The TARDIS in to vortex, where they can just float around in space for a while.

Jack stood there also, not knowing what to say, The Doctor didn't seem hurt or anything.

After a few hours, Donna finally emerged from her bedroom to find The TARDIS strangely silent. She looked around looking for some sort of civilisation in the kitchen, then the living room then the library, they were always the places where someone would be, she couldn't find anyone she thought they must all be in the control room. The red head walked down to the control room to just find The Doctor and Jack sitting there, moping.

"Oi, spaceman, what's up with you?"

"Nothing," replied The Doctor and stood up "I'm fine, dandy I am. Dandy, that's a weird word isn't it, why would you say you're dandy?" he rambled on until Donna shut him up.

"Doctor! Where is everyone? Where's Rose? She wandered off or something? I thought the two of you would have been y'know together a bit more." Donna noticed she had something to upset him as he lowered his head and looked down at the floor.

"Rose has gone home."

"What do ya mean gone home?"

"He means she's gone Donna, left The TARDIS." Said Jack who was sat on the captains chair, staring at The Doctor's back.

"What?" screamed Donna "why?"

"She wanted to." Mumbled The Doctor and began 'fiddling' with the console.

"Why though?" she asked again and turned to The Doctor "what did you say to her?"

"I didn't say anything Donna."

"Oh no, he didn't say anything at all. He just let her go, didn't even bat an eyelid," interrupted Jack "but tell her why she left Doctor, tell Donna why Rose wanted to leave."

"Doctor?"

"Rose left because she couldn't cope with Martha," he began and took a deep breath "earlier today, when me and Martha went to the toilet, she kissed me and Rose saw," he continued and lifted his finger up as Donna was about to interrupt "let me finish. Anyway, Martha had been saying that me and her together, so when Rose saw us, she put two and two together."

"So she left?""

"Yup."

"And you didn't try and stop her?"

"I did Donna! I really did," defended The Doctor and heard Jack slightly scoff as he said it "but it was her choice, I can't force her to stay here when she doesn't want to be."

"So what, you're just gonna forget about her? Cut her out of your life and not fight for her?"

"What else can I do Donna? She's made her choice."

"Well change it!"

"How? I don't know where she is! I just dropped her off."

"Well, did she give you back The TARDIS key?"

"What?"

"Did she give you her TARDIS key?"

"No, what's that got to with anything?"

"Well, can't you track it?"

"Donna Noble, you are a genius!" called The Doctor and began tracking it.

Rose sat down in the lobby of a hotel, not knowing what to do. Should she stay here? She still had The Doctor's credit card, but that just kept reminding her of him, she was on Earth because she didn't want to be with him, she could forget him. She really hadn't thought this through, she just made a decision, but she didn't think about the consequences. She could feel The TARDIS key in her pocket, she had forgotten to give him it back, and she didn't even think about it, sitting there in her pocket, it felt as though it weighed a tonne.

Rose checked in and made her way to her room. She found it strange that she had barely shed a tear, she thought leaving him would be the hardest thing she's ever to do, and it was, but she didn't seem to want to cry, she kept telling herself it was for the best. But was it?

"There we go! Found her!"

"Where is she?" asked Donna, looking at the monitor, but clearly didn't know what it said.

"Swan hotel in London." He announced and simply stood there.

"So what are you waiting for? Go and reason with her!"

"And say what?"

"I don't know; buy her some flowers, her favourites."

"Ooh, I can do that, that's what I'll do."

"Good, now go!" yelled Donna in his ear and pushed him towards the door. "And don't come back unless she's with you!"

Rose settled in to her hotel room and unpacked the small amount of luggage she had. She felt bad that she didn't get chance to say goodbye to Donna, not so sorry she didn't say goodbye to Martha, she wasn't sure what she would do if she saw her.

Rose lay on her bed and closed her eyes for just a moment and dreamt of a place or a time when everything was alright and there was no anger or upset in her life. The only time she could think of was when her and The Doctor were travelling together alone. Just the two of them. Shiver and Shake. Mutt and Jeff. Rose sat there and smiled slightly at the memory, but stopped as soon as she heard a knock at her door.

"Who the hell is that?" she muttered to herself, and went to answer it anyway. As soon as she answered the door she regretted it. Standing on the other side of the door was, of course, The Doctor. "What are you doing here?" she asked as soon as she answered it.

"Please, hear me out Rose, listen to me."

"How did you find me here?" she asked, avoiding his plea.

"TARDIS key." He replied, causing Rose to sigh, she should have known.

"Oh, right, well what do you want?"

"To talk. Please Rose," he begged and handed her the flowers "I just want to talk to you."

"Go on then, talk." She replied and The Doctor looked around him.

"What? Right here? In the corridor?"

"Yes."

"Right, well like I said before, what you saw, she just pulled herself on me, I didn't have a chance to defend myself and stop it from happening," he began "Rose, I love you, why would I ever do that to you?"

"I don't know, but there's one thing I do know," she began and The Doctor nodded as if to ask what "you can take you're soddin' flowers," she yelled and shoved his flowers back at him "and you can even have your key back," she said and also gave him that "and leave!" she yelled and slammed the door in his face.

The Doctor stopped in her doorway, wondering what he was going to do now, she was bound to move to a different hotel or even get a flat, what was he going to do then? He would have no chance of finding her again. The Doctor walked slowly back towards The TARDIS, fearing Donna and what she was going to do and began thinking of another plan to get Rose back. She would come back...eventually.
