Games Part Five
Notes: I'm beginning to think I'm either power mad, a sadist or both. But because I don't like being blamed for things, lets all blame Crawdie!
Crawdie: It's getting a little predictable the way you turn to me when you are the one in the wrong. I'm not the one who keeps trying to kill off Rose.
Lets ignore him now and get to all of you lovely people who've reviewed.
Becsy Lexi: Yes, I think I do have Rose issues. Beg for her life! Thanks for the peaches…and the peach flavoured cookies were…interesting. Thank you for cheering up my days with your completely insanely cheery reviews. You rock!
Morphy: It's a good nickname! Being sat does make sense…hmmm…I'll have to consult my English teacher. Aren't you loving the declothing? Heeheee…I hope you enjoy this last chapter. Also, I'm glad to announce that Stella will be returning very shortly! Huzzah!
YamiKITG: Lol, yeah…Rose torture…I think I'll stick with shippyness, what do you think? Yay, a banana! Enjoy!
Joshwales: Probably, if I had even half a clue what that was. But thanks for reviewing all the same.
Cloudhaven: OK, OK, maybe some leather. Shower me in fruit, sweet delicious fruit!
Uh.yeah: And it fitted so well! Yes…I enjoy the power…but at least my cliffies are having the desired affect: you're begging! More 9Rose to come, but no grand confessions today I think. Yay! Bananas! Whoo hoo!
Dingbatt: Ouch! Dammit, watch where you're throwing! I hope you like this chapter my dear, but no, Jack will not be removing his top again. I'll save that for next time.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this, and many thanks to Cossie for betaing some of the chapters. Well done if you spot the obscure quote in this, but I'm feeling too mean to offer the Award, so there. Keep enjoying my fics, and I'll keep enjoying yours!

It must have been blind instinct that made Rose grab hold of one of the supporting pillars as she was sucked past it. She felt what could very well have been her last breath being sucked out of her into the gaping abyss that lay beyond the doors.
She watched blearily as the last Venutian fire beetle flew past her into space, never to be seen again.
The TARDIS doors slammed shut. Rose fell to the ground, bruising her coccyx, but otherwise OK (I had to injure her a little!). The roaring in her ears was silenced and she began to breathe normally.
The Doctor felt very happy with himself as he thumped the air in triumph. "Yes! We did it!" He offered his palm to Jack in a hi-five (doncha just love those?).
"I particularly loved the part where I nearly died again," said Rose sarcastically as she got to her feet, rubbing her lower back. The Doctor grinned and dashed over her to engulf her in a hug.
"My little soldier," he said.
"No more holes," said Jack happily. "The TARDIS is back to normal. All systems go Doctor."
"Where to then Rose?" he asked her. Rose scowled at him.
"To bed," she said firmly. "I've had a long day. I fell into a hole, nearly drowned in a swimming pool, got sucked by a bug and almost got sucked into space."
"Sweet dreams," said the Doctor, absentmindedly giving her a brief kiss on the forehead.
"Night Jack," she said as she made her way to her room. Jack gave the Doctor a little half grin.
"Y'know, someday you'll have to tell her," he said. The Doctor looked puzzled.
"Tell her what?"
"Everything," said Jack, grinning as he too disappeared.
The Doctor blinked, then started putting his beloved ship back together.

The truth of everything really being back to normal didn't hit until the next morning.
The Doctor was alarmed to find his chair had been coated in treacle, and that a brightly coloured snake had taken up residence in the box of PG Tips.
But it was only when he got covered in flour that he really felt right.
Yes. It was good to have things clear again.

Ta da! That's all folks…thanks to everyone who's reviewed…I'll see you all in time (bring chocolates).
