It had been a week since The Doctor found out about Rose and Ben, they made up, everything was fine, to be honest they were happier than ever, they had no secrets anymore.
Rose had taken the whole week off to look after Pete whilst Jackie was at work although Pete said he didn't need looking after, and he didn't seem like he needed looking after, Jackie still wanted someone with him just in case.
Rose handed Pete a cup of tea and sat on the chair opposite him.
"So, are you and The Doctor ok?" said Pete hopeful
"Yep, we're perfect"
"Really?" said Pete shocked
"Yes! I know what I did was stupid and if I were him I wouldn't have forgiven me, but somehow he did."
"Good, I'm glad, I don't want you sad again." Said Pete truthfully "Back then, it was hard to look at you without it breaking my heart, you looked so empty and broken."
"Oh, thanks Dad" said Rose sarcastically.
"You know what I mean."
"Yeah I do. And to make sure that doesn't happen I am going to quit working at the bar" said Rose.
"Why?"
"Well, The Doctor doesn't trust me with Ben alone, he hasn't said it but I can tell it unnerves him a bit, so as now am officially looking for a job." Said Rose and put her feet on to the stool.
"Yeah" said Pete sarcastically "Really looks like it"
"I am!" insisted Rose "I just can't find the right job yet"
"Course you can't" said Pete with a smile on his face.
"I cant!"
"Well, what do you wanna do?"
"I dunno, anything to be honest"
"Well why don't you just work in a shop like normal people do?"
"Seriously? A shop!" said Rose
"Yeah! Why not?"
"That's the most boring thing I've ever heard."
"Ok, not a normal boring shop then"
"No, definitely not a normal boring shop!"
"You're too picky"
"Am not!" argued Rose
"Are too"
"Not!"
"Are!"
"Fine, I am but I just don't wanna spend the rest of my life working in some boring old shop"
"Well, theres always Torchwood" stated Pete
"Torchwood? Seriously?"
"Why not? You were amazing at that job" said Pete "Plus it's good money and you know the job inside out already"
"I guess so, I just hate Torchwood though."
"Well, don't think of it as Torchwood, think of it as helping the universe"
"Helping the universe?"
"Yeah! And you know The Doctor would most definitely approve" said Pete knowing that would make Rose agree.
"I guess so."
"Is that a yes then?"
"Yeah go on then, a month trial though! Just to see if I like it!"
"Fine by me, I'll go ring Jake now" said Pete and got up out of the sofa and walked towards the phone to inform Jake.

The Doctor and Rose were sat eating their dinner in peace.
"So what did you do today then?" asked The Doctor
"I just went to see Dad again, Mum hasn't had chance to have a day off yet"
"Oh right, have fun?"
"Yeah, we had a nice chat about jobs and stuff"
"Jobs?"
"I'm gonna quit my job" blurted out Rose
"What? Why?"
"I just think I should now."
"You don't have to Rose" started The Doctor but got cut off by Rose.
"I do, and there are plenty of jobs, y'know shops and stuff" said Rose
"Shops? Like boring shops?" said The Doctor "You hate working in shops"
"OK, not shops, Dad suggested working at Torchwood again, but I'm not sure"
"That's a great idea!" beamed The Doctor
"Really?" said Rose
"Yeah, I think it's a great idea, but it's up to you"
"I know, thing is I think Dad's rung Jake and said I'm gonna, so there's no going back. So when do you start?"
Rose was about to answer but was interrupted by the phone ringing.
"I'll get it" said Rose
Rose walked over to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?"
The Doctor watched her on the phone wondering who it was, every now and then she would say something, but not long answers.
A few minutes later Rose hung up the phone and walked back towards The Doctor.
"That was dad" said Rose "Rang about the job, he said I could start on Monday morning"
"Oh, that's great" beamed The Doctor and got up and hugged Rose.
"Yep, thing is, I gotta Ben, is that ok?"
"Yeah that's fine" said The Doctor calmly "He's your friend Rose, I'm not gonna stop you seeing him"
"I know that, I was just seeing if you were ok with it"
Deep down The Doctor knew he wasn't ok with it, but he just had to get used to them being together and that were only just friends but there was once a history.
