MARIETTA SMITH

"Shall we have a look around" said the Doctor holding out his hand, Rose took it, the bedroom was 3 times the size of her bedroom back at her and at least 5 times the size of her room in the TARDIS. Their on-suite bathroom was abousetly massive.

"Doctor honestly" said Rose she walked around the bathroom taking every bit of it "You do spoil me"

"I like spoiling" said the Doctor with a big grin

"Shall we go next door?" said Rose

"What" said the Doctor "We have a huge room all to ourselves and you want to go to the room"

"Yeah I want to see the writer," said Rose

"Ok" said the Doctor "But we need some excuse"

They walked out of the door and walked into the corridor and knocked on the door, a female voice said, "Come in"

They walked, her room was exactly like the Doctor's and Rose's, Marietta was a lady with long ginger hair, like Rose's very curly, it suited her, she had glasses and green eyes. She was wearing a red jumper and black trousers; she also had a gold necklace round her neck.

"Hi are you room service?" she said

"No we're not, we're your neighbors" said the Doctor

"The room next door" said Marietta "Oh right, well you heard about me from Antoinette then"

"Yes we did," said Rose

"Typical that girl always gossips," said Marietta

"Are you writing your latest novel?" said Rose nodding at the typewriter in the corner, Marietta nodded.

"What's it about" said Rose

"Horror" said Marietta "I write horror stories, people go missing, murdered that sort of thing"

"How gruesome" said Rose

"Well I like to be the graphic with my stories" said Marietta "I like people to be engrossed, I also like mysteries, guessing to the end where you finally find out"

"Yeah I like those stories too" said Rose "I read this book right and I was sure I knew that answer was and then it totally threw me off course"

"You seem like a nice young lady, why are you wearing that dress," said Marietta "It's pretty"

"Thanks" said Rose "I don't know, posh hotel, posh clothes I guess, I've never been to a hotel like this before and I didn't know what to wear"

Marietta grinned "Me too, but I don't care what people think of me, people usually wear that sort of clothing they don't say I look posh enough to be a long term resident"
"Pardon" said the Doctor

"I live here all the time, this is my home" said Marietta "Look"

They walked over to the window and saw it had a great viewing of the beach "That's the beach I based my first book The Serial Murderer of the Sands, I just sat there gazing out imagining it all happen"

"It's beautiful" said Rose

"Come on Rose" said the Doctor "Let's leave Marietta to it"

"See you later Marietta" said Rose

"See you, come by anytime" said Marietta

"Bye" said the Doctor as they went back into their own room

"She's really nice" said Rose

The Doctor nodded "Come on it's 9.00 in the evening let's get some shut eye"
