A/N: Well, I've just finished watching "Boom Town." Thought there were some very cute shippy moments, but this one stuck in my head.

This fic is from the Doctor's POV, as he watches Rose and Mickey walk off together on the screen.

Reviews are great, even criticism. :D

There she goes. Hand in hand with Ricky.

I don't care. It's her life. She can do what she wants. We can't leave for another 12 hours anyway. She can go off with Ricky if she likes.

I don't mind. She's my companion. She has…had a life back here, on this planet before she came with me. She has a right to be with Ricky if she likes.

There's no reason for me to care that she's going off with him.

Still…

I wish she hadn't.

There you go. Ickle drabble. What'd'ya think?
