Chapter 2 – I Should Have Guessed -

"You're what?" Rose cried out in half-disbelief. The other half was kicking herself for not having guessed this before. After all, he was alien.

"Well, I'm not fully telepathic" he explained. "But I do have the ability to pick up on things from time to time." He mumbled on again about something about losing it for a bit after he had finished speaking.

"Well why didn't you tell me?" She put on her typical face of looking stung and hurt, she hoped the Doctor would fall for it, but if he was actually telepathic, as he claimed, chances are he would have guessed this by now.

"Well, you see, I haven't used it such a long while, it was about a good 50 years ago I last used it" he chuckled light-heartily. "But it's not like I'm fully telepathic anyway, I can just pick up on various things now and then."

"You mean, you could look into my dreams? And see what I was thinking"

Smirking, he patted her back "Theoretically, it would be possible, if it was a pretty strong dream you were having, but I don't think I can just do it at will" He looked around, trying to remember something, and then all of a sudden. He snapped back to her "Anyway, why were you disappointed? I took you back to 1963, and November, as you had specifically asked"

She sighed, she had been trying not to let him onto that she knew about him being at JFK's assassination, but she had to let the cat out the bag really, she couldn't just pretend it was all a coincidence.

"I really want to go to Dallas, in Texas you know?" she muttered

"Oh, Well why didn't you say so? Seems awfully silly you forgot the place, It is "Time and Relative Dimensions in Space" It can go anywhere, not just anytime."

What? He mustn't remember that he had been there, perhaps she could find out all about it without confronting him, so she could actually discover what he was doing there.

"Oh yeah" she blushed, shifting her eyes down to the floor, which was remarkably clean, especially for London, and she realised just how dirty and low down the 21st Century could be. "Well, you suppose we could still pay a visit? I just want to see history happening"

"1963? What on Earth happens in 1963….." He wondered "Texas? I don't know, it can't be that important, I would remember it if it was. Wait a second……. It wouldn't be when that young lad was abducted by the Nestene, you know, and he managed to break free, and nearly started a revolution on their homeworld….. " He paused, looking up into the sky, then looked back "No, sorry, that was 1863, Silly me" and let of a little laugh. "Well, let's hop off then, you and me" and turned back into the TARDIS, and pushed the doors open, strolling into it.

Rose looked around her, at a much more innocent, peaceful and simpler world, and then stepped into the TARDIS just as it's drilling noise began to screech again, and within a few seconds, nobody could have ever guessed that the world's most famous blue Police Public Call Box had ever been there.
