Since the argument the day before the Doctor and Rose had each sunk into a stupor of deep thought. Though they were acting more normally than they had done for days, there was still something missing. They talked little and even Jack noticed something was different. It was so depressing in the TARDIS that Jack found himself sinking into the same stupor as the Doctor and Rose. Eventually he could stand it no longer.

"Hey, Doc," Jack said walking purposefully up the ramp to the central column in the control room. "Where are we off to today?"

"I… well… ummm…" evidently the Doctor had not been planning on going anywhere.

"How about Willopsy?" Jack suggested. The Doctor glanced at Rose who was sat on the floor playing with a pack of cards.

"I don't think-" the Doctor began.

"Great. C'mon I'll help you set the controls." Jack said cutting across him.

The Doctor gave in and the pair flicked switches and pushed buttons, setting the coordinates.

Rose glanced up for a moment but didn't say anything.

The TARDIS shuddered into life and began to make its usual voomshing noise. After a minute it stopped and Jack ran over to the doors.

"Oh, wow. Rose you've got to see this!" Jack called. Rose sighed and stood up heading over to the doors. She looked out and saw the TARDIS had landed on top of tall hill with tree's surrounding them on either side.

"You two go explore, I'll stay here and… umm… tinker…" The Doctor muttered but Jack grabbed his arm and steered him outside.

"Oh, no you don't! We're going to enjoy a nice afternoon, together." Jack pushed both the Doctor and Rose through the double doors before stepping out and shutting them behind himself.

Left with no choice but to comply, the pair wandered forward slightly, looking around.

"So, what exactly are we going to do?" Asked the Doctor doubtfully.

"Well…" Jack paused, realising he hadn't exactly thought his plan through. "We can find something to eat for a picnic."

"There's food in the TARDIS though." Rose said frowning.

"Yeah, but it's more fun if we have to find it. Look," Jack pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Rose. It was a shoulder bag folded up really small. "You can collect some alien fruit or something and me and the Doctor will see if we can find some… err… yeah."

Jack quickly dragged the Doctor off in one direction before Rose could say anything.

"You know," Jack whispered glancing over his shoulder. "You should really tell her. You're causing so much depression on the TARDIS; it would solve everything if you just… told her the truth. She's not stupid, she knows something's wrong."

"Jack, I've told you before, it's not as easy as that." The Doctor hissed.

"Yes it is! Look," Jack stopped. They were now out of ear shot of Rose who was scouring the tree's for fruit. "If you don't tell her, I will."

"No, you can't do that." The Doctor protested.

"Your choice. You tell her, or I will." Jack said, delivering the final ultimatum.

An hour later they were all enjoying a weird alien fruit that looked a bit like star-fruit. After watching the sun set the Doctor suggest they head back to the TARDIS. The other two agreed, Jack giving the Doctor significant looks. As the Doctor went to open the doors however he paused.

"What's wrong?" Asked Rose.

"Slight problem," the Doctor said turning back to face his companions. "You know the TARDIS is alive, yeah?"

"Yeah," Rose narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Well, she… err… she appears to have had enough with the bad feeling and, she's kind of, locked us out…" the Doctor trailed off watching Rose.

"Great," Rose said bitterly turning and sitting back on the hill a little way from the TARDIS.

They built a fire and sat round it as it grew darker, sitting round it to keep warm. Eventually they fell asleep, still basking in the fire light. Rose opened her eyes when she was sure the Doctor and Jack were asleep and went and sat at the edge of the hill looking down into the valley. It was cooler away from the fire and she could think more clearly now she was away from the Doctor.

The Doctor instantly knew that Rose had left the fireside and woke, staring around for her. When he spotted her he stood up and wandered over to sit beside her.

"Rose?" Rose didn't move. She made no sign that she even realised he was there. "Are you ok?"

"Why won't you just admit it?" Rose asked not looking at him.

"Admit what?" Asked the Doctor, though he knew exactly what she meant.

"You're doing it again!" She shouted. "Why can't you-"

The Doctor suddenly put a hand over her mouth. She bit his hand and he had to cover his own mouth to stop himself from shouting out. He put a finger to his lips.

There was a rustling from in the tree's to the side. The Doctor stood up and walked very slowly towards the trees.

"Hello?" He whispered. That's when he heard it. The worst possible sound. A high pitched shriek and as he turned around he saw something dragging Rose off. Jack woke instantly at the sound and ran after the Doctor who was following Rose.

"You see, Jack! This is what happens when you tell someone you love them!"
