The doors opened at that moment, and the Doctor walked out, Rose following him. I walked out last and put my hands in my pockets as I looked around, folding my hands. Everything was covered in ice and snow- the wires, the machines, the floors, the walls- I shivered and put my hands into my pockets again, shrugging as I tried to keep warm. It was mildly dark and I had to squint to see everything properly and I shivered.

"The walls are not made of gold," The Doctor looked behind at me, "'Floor 500's cooler than you think'- good clue, should've picked up on that earlier, especially pairing up with the heating vent thing you were ranting about,"

I shrugged and looked around, as he said, "You both should go downstairs,"

"And what? Leave you here?" I retorted.

"Tough," Rose said, as we walked toward him. She went ahead, as the Doctor looked around at the landscape. I followed Rose through the icicles and frozen wire, shivering.

We walked till we found the snow king guy and his ice coated dead army. Oh, and of course, the Jaguar-fez. I shuddered at the dead people who were working. I craned my neck to see the end. Of course. Suki was there. All that arguing and attention seeking, and I couldn't even keep her alive. My eyes widened and I sighed, slumping my shoulders.

The guy leaned back, "I started without you," He turned to us, "This is fascinating," He pointed to the computer as the Doctor and Rose walked around to look at everything. I stood rooted to my spot, looking at the head of a dead person operating the computer. "Satellite Five contains every piece of information within the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. Birth certificates, shopping habits, bank statements, but you three, you don't exist. Not a trace. No birth, no job, not the slightest kiss. How can you walk through the world and not leave a single footprint?"

Rose had then noticed Suki. She ran toward her and kneeled down, "Suki! Suki! Hello? Can you hear me?"

I shuddered and backed up a little bit. The Doctor seemed to have noticed the look on my face. "Rose, she's dead," I muttered, and the Doctor gently squeezed my hand.

Rose looked at her again, "But she's working," She looked at all the dead bodies and looked at me, "They're all working,"

"They've all got chips in their heads, and the chips keep going," The Doctor looked around at all of them, "Like puppets,"

"Welcome to the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. Where you're even controlled when you're dead," The Doctor turned toward me, "Liza's right. You have no right to do this,"

"Oh," The guy looked at us, "You're full of information! But it's only fair we get some information back, because apparently, you're no one," The Doctor grinned at him, "It's so rare to not know something. Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter coz we're off," The Doctor took my hand and turned toward the exit, "Nice to meet you," He turned to Rose, "Come on!"

"Don't, they're gonna-" As he turned around, a couple of dead people grabbed me and him by the shoulders. They were ice cold. Completely and utterly cold, and hard as stone. I had to resist the urge to gag, as their smell hit me. Their rotten, cold, dead smell. My heart rate increased, and I shivered at their cold touch. Like me and the Doctor, Rose was also restrained by Suki, who had grabbed her arm.

The white haired man turned to us, "Tell me who you are,"

"Since that information is keeping us alive, I'm hardly gonna say, am I?"

"Well, perhaps my Editor in Chief can convince you otherwise," The Editor! That's what he was called- doesn't matter! I knew that the Jaguar-fez was above us, and I moved a little closer to the Doctor.

"And who's that?"

The Editor leaned toward the Doctor, looking very smug, "It may interest you to know that this is not the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire,"

I scoffed, and he looked at me, an eyebrow raised, "Well, no surprise there, since it's not even run by humans,"

"What?" The Doctor looked down at me, while the Editor looked at me, eyes wide, "How could you possibly know that?"

I shrugged and smiled at him, "Maybe I'm psychic, or maybe I just deducted it. All I can say,"

The Jaguar-fez growled, and the Doctor frowned. The Editor seemed to gain his composure again, "May I introduce you to my client," He pointed up, and the Doctor looked upwards, and pulled me closer to him. The slimy wormy neon thing was growling above us, it's razor sharp teeth lined neatly in it's wide open mouth. I knew what I would be seeing, but it's growls and headbutts made me jump.

"What is that?" Rose asked, repulsed.

"You mean, that thing's in charge of Satellite Five?" The Doctor asked incredulously.

"Not just Satellite Five," I muttered, taking a deep breath as I tried to calm down.

"Your psychic's correct. This thing, as you call it, is in charge of the entire human race," The Editor had a massively smug grin on his face as he walked around, spreading out his hands, "For almost a hundred years, mankind has been shaped and guided, his knowledge and ambition strictly controlled by it's broadcast news, edited by my superior, your master, and humanity's guiding light, the mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe," He looked at us, a grin on his face that eerily looked like that of the John Simm Master's, "I call him Max,"

"You mean mankind has been controlled and oppressed for the past hundred years," The Doctor glared at the Editor, who shrugged, "I wouldn't say oppressed. Maybe a teensy little," He titled his chin and grinned at us.

The Jaguar-fez- sorry, Jagrafess, growled even more, and I looked up as it's teeth and head were right above me. I winced and tried to back up a little, only to be held back by the dead people beside me, who tightened their grip on my shoulders. Their cold hands dug into my bones, sending shivers through me.

The Editor turned to us again, this time, looking directly at me, "Ah, yes. So," He leaned closer to me and I backed my head, scowling at him, "You're a psychic, then, otherwise, how would you know about us? So, tell me the future,"

"I'm not psychic, and even if I was, I wouldn't be able to tell you the future, it'd be against the laws of time,"

The Jagrafess didn't seem to like that. He growled fiercely, and I shrunk down as I looked at him. The Editor said, "He doesn't care. Tell us our future,"

I turned back to him and tried my nest to keep a straight face, "I just told you, I can't," I took a deep breath as I tried to remember what happened in the episode. If I was right, Cathica was gonna come up here soon and do something to the systems to overheat the Jagrafess- but not before Adam leaks everything about the Doctor. I took a deep breath as I tried to come up with a plan. "Well," I opened my eyes, trying to smile, "I can tell you one thing, just as long as you let me go,"

The Editor waved to the dead people, who let go of my shoulder roughly, and I stumbled before I regained my balance. I massaged my sore shoulders as I looked over at the computers. There had to be a way to reset the connection to the chips or something.

"Well?" I looked up at the Editor and clasped my hands together. I cleared my throat, "Well, um, the Empire grows stronger under the Jagrafess, especially since the people down there," I gestured to the cameras and looked at the Doctor, "Don't know what's actually going on," I turned back to the Editor, "They think they're the ones in control, when they're really not,"

I quickly glanced at the system with the dead people. They were having their hands on a pad- maybe I could try to use the pad to disconnect it. The Jagrafess growled and I backed up a little. I turned to the Editor, who clasped his hands together, "Well, that's expected, judging by the stupidity of humans," I gritted my teeth at that and scowled at him. "The Jagrafess wants to know more,"

I took another deep breath and turned to the systems, "Well, you also end up upgrading your chip system, make it sonic compatible, I think," I looked at the Doctor, who subtly tilted his chin down. I turned my eyes down for a moment and quickly looked back at the Editor again. "That's easier to control and have a safer system interface, or something,"

"Sonic compatible, interesting," The Editor mused, and I nodded, backing slowly toward the place where the sonic had fallen down. "Yeah, and the Jagrafess even takes over, uh, Mondas," I blurted out the first planet that came into my head. The Editor raised an eyebrow, "Mondas?"

"It's a- uh, twin planet," I reached the sonic, "The Earth's twin,"

"I didn't realise that Earth had a twin planet," The Editor mused, and I bent down and picked up the sonic. I pointed it at a system and pressed a button, which made one of the dead bodies lose connection and slump backward on the chair. I turned to face the Editor, pointing the screwdriver at him, "Yeah, there's a lot of things you didn't realise," I pointed the sonic at one of the systems and seemed to have caused a system crash. The Jagrafess growled, and the Editor waved his hands again.

I used the sonic on the Editor's forehead, hoping that it disabled or somewhat jeopardised the chip in his head. "Liza!" The Doctor exclaimed, and a hard and cold hand hit my head.

I opened my eyes, frowning. My hands were in a pair of manacles in front of me and my head was throbbing. The Editor was talking to the Doctor and Rose about something, "Well, now, there's an interesting point," I looked around at the systems. They were still broken, but the dead were now typing furiously on the keyboards at something. "Is a slave a slave if he doesn't know he's enslaved?" He walked toward us and noticed me, "Ah, you're awake now,"

The Doctor glanced down at me, and turned back to the Editor, "She is, and to answer your previous question, yes,"

"Oh," He feigned disappointment and clasped his hands together, "I was hoping for a philosophical debate. Is that all I'm gonna get? Yes?"

"Yes," The Doctor said again, looking around.

"You're no fun,"

"Let me out of these manacles," He lifted his hands up, which made my hands rise up too. I fought a surge of nausea. "And I'll show you how much fun I am,"

"Oh, he's tough, isn't he?" The Editor chuckled, "But, come on. Isn't it a great system? You've got to admire it, just a little bit,"

"You can't hide something on this scale," Rose said, "Somebody must've noticed,"

"From time to time, someone, yes," The Editor walked around the room, flapping his hands about, "But the computer chip system allows me to see into their brains. I can see the smallest doubt and crush it," He turned to me, "Although, you have disabled my chip temporarily,"

I forced a grin at him, "Why, thank you,"

"Which is why I'm doing it the old fashioned way," He pointed at the systems, where the dead were typing furiously, "Using a manual check. There has to be something important, otherwise you wouldn't have tried so hard to disable my chip,"

Oh no. Brilliant. Of course the Editor would have some sort of backup. I looked down and looked up again, trying my best to keep a straight face. Maybe the Doctor was right. Maybe I really couldn't do anything right.

"They don't even notice!" The Editor turned back to us, "They just carry on, living life, strutting about downstairs and all over the surface of the Earth like they're so individual, when of course, they're not. They're just cattle. In that respect, the Jagrafess hasn't changed a thing,"

I looked behind him and spotted Cathica, who was trying to look at whatever was going on here. "But you're not a Jagra, er belly-"

"Jagrafess," The Doctor corrected Rose, who continued, "Jagrafess. You're not a Jagrafess. You're human,"

"Yeah, well, simply being human doesn't pay very well," He looked at Rose like she was five.

"But you couldn't have done all this on your own!"

"No!" The Editor chuckled, "I represent a consortium of banks. Money prefers a long term investment. Also, the Jagrafess needed a hand to, erm, install himself,"

The Doctor looked up, "No wonder, a creature that size. What's his life span?"

"3000 years,"

"That's one hell of a metabolism, generating all that heat," He looked down at me, "That's why Satellite Five's so hot. You pump it out of the creature, channel it downstairs. Jagrafess stays cool, it stays alive. Satellite Five's one big life support system,"

"Exactly," He walked about, "You seem to have a massive amount of knowledge about this, and knowledge is power," He turned toward the three of us and pointed at us, "But you remain unknown," He snapped his fingers, "Who are you?"

Electricity started surging through the manacles, shocking the three of us. I squeezed my eyes shut and clenched my fists tightly, my fingers digging into my palms. I gritted my teeth and tried to stop the tears from coming out as the current surged through me. My head throbbed even more and I bit my lip hard.

A few moments later, it stopped, and I almost fell down, and probably would've, if it weren't for the manacles and the Doctor and Rose, "Leave them alone," The Doctor pleaded, "I'm the Doctor, she's Rose Tyler, and she's Liza Cole. We're nothing, we're just wandering!"

"Tell me who you are!"

"I just said!"

"Who do you work for? Who knows about us?! Who exactly-"

He paused, and I shook my head, "Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, please, just,"

"Looks like there's an information spike that can give us the information," He turned to us, a triumphant grin on his face, "Except, you've disabled my chip,"

I sighed, "Yeah, I have, but that's not gonna help matters, is it?"

"Not at all," He waved his hands and a screen appeared. Adam was lying on a chair, the information spike coming out of my head, "We did the job manually, and all the information goes to them," He pointed to the dead, "And in turn, the system database,"

He snapped his fingers, and another screen appeared, lines full of information about Time Lords, Daleks, Van Statten, and time travel.

"Oh my God, his head!" Rose exclaimed.

"What the hell's he done?!" The Doctor exclaimed.

"Time Lord. The last of the Time Lords," The Editor came toward us, "And his girl from the past, and the other who knows his future,"

"What the hell's he gone and done? They're reading his mind, he's telling them everything!"

More images appeared in the database, and the Editor looked at them and back to us, "So you are a psychic. All that's happening here is just a story for you, and you know how it ends,"

"Yeah, enough to let you know that you're gonna regret this," I muttered, gritting my teeth. My head felt worse and the only things holding me up were the manacles.

The Editor then turned to the Doctor, "Through him, I know everything about you. Every piece of information in his head is now mine. And you have infinite knowledge, Doctor. The Human Empire is tiny, compared to what you've seen in your T, A, R, D, I, S, TARDIS,"

"Well, you'll never get your hands on it, I'll die first," The Doctor pulled his hands forward, and I was dragged forward. I stumbled, but didn't fall as the Doctor and Rose were holding me up. "Doctor, uh-"

"Well, die all you like," The Editor said nonchalantly, "I don't need you, I've got the key!"

"Yeah," I let out a deep breath, closing my eyes. I opened them again, dreading the next sight.

The TARDIS key Rose had given Adam levitated out of his pocket and started flying up the information spike. The Doctor turned to Rose, "You and your boyfriends!"

"Today, we are the headlines. We can rewrite history. We can prevent mankind from ever developing,"

"And no one's gonna stop you because you've bred a human race that doesn't even bother to ask questions!" The Doctor looked past the Editor and at Cathica, who was still standing there, listening to everything that was going on, "Stupid little slaves, believing every lie. They'll trot right into a slaughter house if they're told it's made of gold,"

Cathica seemed to understand, and she walked away. I let out a breath and closed my eyes. At least one good thing happened. Just a few more minutes of this torture, and then Cathica ends up blowing up the whole place. I took a deep breath, trying to stand as my head started spinning.

Alarms started blaring at that moment, and I sighed, "Thank God,"

The Editor ran toward the computers and leaned toward a screen, "What's happening?" The alarms became louder, and the Jagrafess snarled. The screen with Adam and the information disappeared, and the Editor started running around the room, looking at the screens, as the Jagrafess's snarls became louder. "Someone's disengaged the safety!"

The Editor snapped his fingers and another screen popped up, with Cathica spiking energy from her brain chip.

"It's Cathica!" Rose exclaimed.

"And she's thinking. She's using what she knows!" He turned to me, smiling widely, "That's what you meant in the lift!"

I smiled weakly as my head started spinning more. My legs felt wobbly and I blinked more and more often.

"Terminate her access!" The Editor yelled, looking at Suki.

"Everything I told her about Satellite Five, the pipes, the filters, she's reversing it! Look at that, it's getting hot!" I looked up, blinking. The icicles were melting. The Editor was yelling at the dead bodies, but they didn't respond at all. A few moments later, a massive power surge hit the place, and all the dead bodies slumped onto the system console.

Rose's manacles came off. She pulled them over her head and picked up the sonic screwdriver, which had fallen down. "She's venting the heat up here, the Jagrafess needs to stay cool and now it's sitting on a volcano!"

That was true, and the heat was making everything around me start swimming as my head got worse. I shut my eyes and tried to drown out the noise as the Jagrafess started growling louder and louder, and started snapping its jaws near us. "Rose, hurry up!" The Doctor yelled, and I flinched.

"What do I do?!" She yelled.

"Flick the switch!" The familiar sound of the sonic humming was heard, and my manacles fell off. And so did I. Well, almost. My knees buckled and I was about to collapse to the ground, but the Doctor seemed to have noticed and caught me as I clutched my head. "Are you alright? Sorry, wrong question, what happened?"

"Ow," I whimpered, clutching my head tighter as I felt dizzier, and my head started aching a little. The Doctor used the sonic on me, "Concussion because of the blow you got to your head by that zombie, and the electric shock didn't help matters," I looked up at him, trying to keep my eyes open and stand properly. He shrugged, "Well, nothing a little rest and some bananas can't fix,"

"I'm okay," I pulled away from him and tried to stand, but had to hold on to his arm to stop myself from falling again.

"No, you're not," He put an arm around me, and he turned to the Editor, "Oi, mate, wanna bank on a certainty? Massive heat in a massive body, massive bang!" He turned away as we walked out, "See you in the headlines,"

I tried to run as the Jagrafess started roaring loudre, but was about to fall down as I did so. I grabbed onto the Doctor's arm as he tightened his grip around me. He tried to run as fast as possible without straining me too much- which I did not appreciate, he had to live through the next 9 series, and I wasn't even that important anyway, "You know you don't need to run slower just because you think I'm an invalid, right?"

"What, and leave you here? No way!"

"You know, I really think that's a good idea, I'm only slowing you down,"

He pulled me along with him, away from the wreckage, and I flinched as the noise worsened the pain in my head, "I'm not leaving you here, Liza Cole!"

The two of us barely made it as the Jagrafess roared loudly and exploded over everyone there. All the dead people finally got their peace, and the Editor- well, he actually deserved it in my opinion. But all the others- and Suki- I'd failed to save Suki. I couldn't even get the Doctor to hurry up to stop that one death from happening.

We reached Cathica, who was still transmitting information everywhere, and the Doctor snapped his fingers. The light from her head went out as her brain chip closed. She looked up at the Doctor and smiled softly. I felt another jolt of pain in my head and clutched onto it. The Doctor tightened his grip around me and I leaned into him, closing my eyes for a few moments. He nudged me, "Liza," I looked up at him, blinking, "We need to go downstairs, you can lie down back in the TARDIS,"

I hummed, and tried to stand upright with some support from him, and grabbed his arm as I was about to tip over again. He put his arm around me again and helped me run back to the elevator.

"We're just gonna go, I hate tidying up," The Doctor then turned away from Cathica and to me, "Too many questions, also, Liza looks like she's been tossed around by a hurricane. You'll manage," I would've contradicted him if it was any other time, but judging by the fact that a frozen zombie punched me and a crazy newspaper editor electrocuted me in a room that felt like Antarctica, I actually agreed with him.

"You'll have to stay here and explain it, no one's gonna believe me," Cathica protested, but the Doctor waved it off, "They might start believing a lot of things now, the human race should accelerate,"

"And come up with a cure for hurricane syndrome," I muttered, pulling my head off his shoulder. I blinked and cupped my face in my hands, resting my elbows on my thigh.

"What about your friend?"

"She'll be fine, she just needs to lie down and have a few bananas,"

"She was talking about Adam," I looked up at him and he scowled, "He's not my friend," He got up and helped me up, "We need to make you get used to this stuff," He muttered, as we walked back toward the TARDIS. "I'm sorry," He looked down at me, frowning, "For what?"

"Everything?" I shrugged, as we reached Adam, "I'm alright now," Adam pulled out the key, stammering, "Much better now, look, I've got the key,"

I went ahead to lean against the TARDIS. The Doctor was dangerously quiet, like he always was when he was angry. Adam put his hands in his pockets as he continued making excuses. The Doctor just remained silent. I pulled myself away from the TARDIS wall, and walked inside after him, Rose and Adam.

The Doctor went toward the console, and I muttered, pointing toward the corridor, "I'm just gonna be in my room," They didn't notice, thankfully and unsurprisingly, and I walked into the corridor.

The TARDIS seemed to sense that I was tired (which shouldn't come as a surprise, even John Lumic from the parallel world would've known I was tired, judging by how I looked), and made my door appear closer to where I was.

I walked into the room, and was thankful that I didn't put my bed up earlier. I plonked into my bed face-first, with my clothes and my shoes, and closed my eyes, succumbing to the dizziness.

I looked up from the bed groggily a few moments later. I groaned and rolled over, frowning. I lifted my hand and placed it on my temples. My head wasn't hurting anymore. I stretched out my hands, and yawned. The TARDIS hummed, and opened the bathroom doors, humming a bit threateningly this time. I put my hands up, "Okay, okay, I know the drill,"

I pulled myself out of bed and walked into the bathroom, grabbing a towel on the way.

"Ah, you're up!" I walked into the console room, blinking. "Where's Adam?"

He frowned, "I dropped him off back home, didn't they show you that?"

I walked down the steps toward the console, "Yeah, they did, but how come I didn't get thrown around my room seven million times till we landed?"

He pouted at me and scowled, "Oi, that's never happened!"

The TARDIS hummed, and he turned to her, "Oh, come on, don't go supporting her, I'm not such a bad driver!"

The TARDIS hummed disapprovingly again, and I shrugged, "Well, she agrees with me," I sat down on a chair, "Though, seriously, how come I didn't feel us travelling?"

He shrugged and gestured to the TARDIS, "I dunno, maybe she did something to prevent you from getting thrown across," He turned to me, "Or maybe, I'm a good driver and you're just mistaken,"

I laughed, and looked at the TARDIS, who hummed again- this time in what I guessed was a sarcastic tone, "I'm going with the first option,"

The Doctor scowled at me and the TARDIS, "Stupid people ganging up on me," He turned toward me and pointed a finger at me, "No bananas for you,"

"Seriously?" I raised both my eyebrows, "You're acting like you're nine- no pun intended,"

"But I am Nine! I'm the Ninth Doctor!"

"I just said no pun intended',"

The TARDIS hummed, amused, and I stroked the console.

"You're really strange," He muttered as he opened up a part of the TARDIS to work on.

I laughed, shaking my head, and walked toward the corridor, "Alright, since we have no immediate life threatening events to get to, I'll go and have some food-" I looked at the corridor and all the doors on it, "Unless it hasn't moved anywhere somehow-"

The TARDIS gave me an exasperated hum (again) and I shrugged. "What? Things like that can happen you know?" I tilted my chin and muttered, "Well, maybe, but you know what I mean!"

The TARDIS hummed again, almost like she was groaning and rolling her eyes. I rubbed my hands together and started walking forward, "Okay, so I go in the way you light up- right?"

No answer. If she had a face I could see, it would probably have an 'are you kidding me?' look. "Okay, then, now that I'm done arguing with a spaceship, I'll just go and raid the Doctor's cookies- if I find where he kept them and if the meme speaks the truth- or whatever,"

"Oi, I can hear you!" I turned around as the Doctor looked up from the console and scowled at me. "Nobody touches my cookies!"

I put my hands up and grinned, "Okay, okay, that was a joke, seriously, Doctor, why would I steal your cookies?" I turned around and skipped forward and turned left as the TARDIS lit that side up.

I hummed as I walked down the corridor till I reached a wooden door with the carving of a saucepan on it. "Ooh, fancy! I didn't see the saucepan yesterday!" I murmured as I turned the doorknob and opened the door.

I entered the green and blue kitchen, which was empty except for a saucepan on the stove and an opened packet of hot cocoa mix on the table, empty, except for a few particles of brown powder, while the sugar jar stood beside it.

Rose was sitting in front of the table in the middle, stirring a mug of hot cocoa with a spoon while looking down at it, presumably not noticing that I was there. "Hey, are you alright?" I asked her as I walked toward the refrigerator.

She jumped and turned around to me and nodded, "Yeah, fine. You?"

I opened the freezer door, "Yeah, much better now," I poked around and looked at all the compartments and grinned. "Ah," I pulled out the tub of butterscotch ice cream and closed the door. Rose frowned at the ice cream. "You're having ice cream for breakfast?"

I shrugged, pulling open a bunch of cabinets to find the bowls. "We're in a time machine. There's no concept of time here." I pulled out a blue bowl and a spoon from the cabinet, the spoon clattering in the bowl.

Rose chuckled, "Well, that's brilliant. No time in a time machine," She went back to looking at her cocoa after she took a sip. I frowned as I looked through the blue drawers for a scoop. "Well, that's what the Doctor told me yesterday- I mean, after we met the Dalek,"

I dunked the scoop into the tub and pulled out the biggest scoop it could carry and dumped it into my bowl (and successfully drowned my spoon) and topped it with another scoop. I sighed and shook my head as I slowly put my hand into the bowl to uncover my spoon.

"Why's it always the good looking ones?"

I turned around, licking my fingers, my spoon in my other hand. "I'm sorry?"

She turned toward me, holding her mug of hot cocoa tightly, the smoke billowing in spirals in front of her face. "You know, why's it always the good looking ones that completely screw everything over? First Jimmy Stone, and now Adam-"

I raised my eyebrows and sat in front of her, putting my bowl in front of me. "Ah, that." I put a spoon of ice cream in my mouth and pulled it out after eating a bit of it. "We've all been there, don't feel bad about it."

"It's just- I dunno-" She stirred her drink, "I met Adam and thought 'Finally, someone decent', and then he ends up becoming like every other bloke I've met- taking advantage and becoming a complete arse."

I nodded, swallowing some more ice cream, "When I was in high school, there was this guy, Keith Brown. Smart, sweet, and amazing hair."

"Did you fancy him?"

"Did I fancy him- oh yeah. Massive crush. Used to go out of my way to try to impress him and make a fool of myself instead," I ate another spoon of ice cream, "Turns out, he had a crush on me too, and we both became somewhat of a thing. I tried my best to be nice to him- helped him with his essays and he helped me with math. And then one day, I go to his house to return his notebook which he forgot in my place, and I see him in his room making out with Amanda Wilkins. Apparently, all he did was want my help to get his English grades up so he did all this nonsense."

Rose shook her head, taking a sip of her hot cocoa. "Reminds me of Jimmy. I was mad about him. Shireen, Kathy, Mum- everyone told me he was bad news. But just because I had four conversations with him and he seemed like half a decent bloke, I disagreed with all of them. Started a relationship. Nobody approved and everyone was insulting him and asking me to stay away." She took another sip and stared behind me at the door, "I used to hate it when they did that. And then one day, he said 'Rose, why don't we just run away?' and I was stupid enough to agree with him. Left school, packed a bag, went to the bus station to wait for him- and he never turned up. Apparently, he wanted to get back at Kathy for breaking up with him."

"So he did this to you?" I raised my eyebrows and she nodded. "Kathy was my best friend back at school and Jimmy wanted to give her hell-"

I put my spoon back into the bowl. "God, that's terrible! Honestly, I hate that it's always the ones we think are half decent who end up doing that,"

"I know! Honestly, Mickey's the only one who's actually as decent as-" Her eyes widened and she placed her mug back on the table, "Oh my God, Mickey! I'm dating Mickey Smith and now I've gone off and-" She put her face in her hands, "God, it's-"

"Well, was it serious with Adam?"

"No, I mean, I sorta fancied him and he told me he fancied me, and then the Doctor decided to pin him as my boyfriend and I guess it stuck, I dunno,"

I took a deep breath, "Well, I'm not denying what you did was wrong, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it now except for maybe not telling Mickey,"

The door opened behind me and I turned around, "Not tell Ricky what?"

"Mickey!" I rolled my eyes and turned back to Rose, who shook her head at the Doctor, who was staring at my bowl of ice cream.

"You're having ice cream for breakfast?"

"Exactly what I asked her, Doctor," Rose turned to him, plastering a grin on her face.

I scowled at him, "You were the one who told me that we were in a time machine and that there's no concept of time here!"

"Yeah, but you've been through a hurricane and the last thing we need is you getting a cold now!"

"Doctor, I'm a mature adult and I think I can handle eating ice cream now, for God's sake, you're worse than my mother,"

"I'm the Doctor, I'm worse than everybody's mother!"

Rose and I looked at each other for a few moments before I burst into laughter along with her. The Doctor frowned at the two of us. "What? What are the two of you laughing about?"

I shook my head and banged my hand on the table, laughing harder as he became more and more confused and started questioning us again.

A/N: Okay, I really didn't expect to write that last scene tbh- I guess it's just that I don't want to make Rose Liza's enemy or something for some reason. I feel like they're both gonna go in a frenemy direction of sorts and have an overall good relationship. This is the first time I've done something this unplanned for the story and idk how to feel about that, honestly. Please let me know what you guys think and thank you so much for supporting my story! It honestly means a lot! Anyway, the next chapter is gonna be an original one, and it's not an adventure- more like a trip to a place to see something but there's no danger (seeing as to how many times the poor Doctor gets in danger, I feel like he deserves a chill adventure once in a while where there's no threat of anybody dying lol). I'm really excited for that one and I can't wait for you guys to read it! Anyway, thanks so much for reading and I hope all of you have a lovely day/night! Bye!
