"Where are we going?" Amy asked as the Doctor started up the time machine.

"There's a hospital on New Earth that owes Rose and I a favor."

"And we're just going there?"

"Yes, Rose needs that chip out of her head."

"I thought we couldn't leave."

"It is a bit risky yes, but I'm not doing it myself or letting anyone in this century do it."

"Are you okay?" Amy asked making the Doctor stop and look up at her.

"Yes, of course, why wouldn't I be."

"You, are a terrible liar."

"I am not!" He said his mouth slightly open as he tried to express his shocked emotion with his facial features.

"Doctor will you tell me about how you met her?"

"What?" He looked up from where he was tinkering with the time machine.

"How'd you meet Rose?"

"I was in the basement of this shop, looking for the living plastic. The living plastic had taken control over all of the shop dummies. Well I was about to blow the place up when-"

"You were what?"

"About to blow the place up. Anyway like I was saying I was in the basement about to leave when I heard yelling. I followed the voice, listening to some girl talking about how she thought it must be all one big joke. Well I followed the voice until I found her trapped against the wall by a couple of the dummies. Well I grabbed her hand and I told her to run."

He closed his eyes. He could see her. Her hair falling in her face as she looked utterly terrified. He could feel her hand in his for the first time. He should have known that she was special, should've felt it by the way his hearts started to beat faster when he touched her for the first time. "Run," it had been the first thing he had told her.

He remembered the first words she had spoken to him, he laughed to himself remembering the first word she ever said to him. "You pulled his arm off!" "She had been so clever," he told Amy "wrong but clever. Thinking that the dummies had been students pulling a prank."

"What did you look like back then? Is that when you wore suits and trainers?" He laughed turning to the monitor on the console. He typed into it and then rotated it so that Amy could see the picture that was on it. It was a picture of him as his ninth self with Rose next to him. It was a picture from the second time they went to satellite five.

"Oh my Gosh!" Amy said covering her mouth and stifling a laugh. She recognized the man from the photo in Rose's room but that picture had been from a further distance, this one was much closer and detailed.

"Yes I know, the leather jacket right? I thought I was such a macho man, so tough."

"No it's not that," Amy said still trying to hide her laughter.

"What!?"

"Its...its the ears."

"What, what's wrong with the ears!?"

"They're quite large...don't you think."

"No they're not, that would be like saying my chin now is...oh nevermind! My ears were a normal size!"

"Well that's a lie and we all know it." Another voice came from the doorway that led to the hallway. The Doctor and Amy both looked up to see Rose, now walking down the stairs.

"See!" Amy stated, now no longer trying to hide her giggling. "Rose, agrees with me and she was there."

He looked over at the blonde, "you really thought they were big?"

"Yes," she said, her eyes soft showing that she was sorry but a smile still on her face, "but I loved those big ears."

"You could fly with those things, no time machine needed." Jack stated walking into the console room with Rory next to him.

"Eh! Let's all just insult my ears why don't we!" The Doctor stated. Rose let out a small laugh, he looked like a little boy who was being bullied by his older brothers. She walked over to him placing a light peck on his cheek.

"They were brilliant ears Doctor, my favorite of all of your ears."

"Good." The Tardis landed making it's familiar wheezing sound. He looked down at her, his eyes filled with concern, her eyes filled with worry. "You ready?"

She nodded, taking a large gulp. "I hate cat nurses."

"Not an irrational hatred, come on, lets go." He grabbed her hand walking out of the Tardis with Jack right behind them.

"Cat nurses?" Rory asked taking Amy's hand in his.

"It's New Earth," Amy shrugged following after them.
