Rose sat down her small brother on her lap,
"You two have been quiet" said Jackie "You and Matthew" Jackie laughed at her daughter's confused face,
"I'm just thinking" said Rose, Jackie's face fell
"About?" Rose laughed
"About the Doctor" said Rose smiling, "No I'm thinking what I'm going to get everyone for Christmas" said Rose wrapping the long scarf the Doctor gave her around her neck once more, "Did you feel that?" asked Rose smiling "Snow" she got up and handed Matthew to Jackie then took a glove off, "It is snow" said Rose looking at the small snow flake on her hand. Jackie took Matthew inside to keep him warm and left Rose to think.
Rose watched the snow flake melt on her hand,
"It didn't melt last Christmas" said Rose smiling "the ash was blown away eventually, I think it had help from the Doctor" Rose stopped and ran her hand along the scarf. She pulled her second glove off and stood in the falling snow waiting, listening and wishing. Rose's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Pete's car pulling into the drive way. Rose felt excitement wash over her so she ran into the house and out the front towards Pete.
"It's snowing!" she yelled bounding towards him, Pete stood still waiting for Rose to come to him "Last Christmas there was ash" she told him
"Ash?" asked Pete "That right Jacks?" asked Pete looking at his wife standing in the doorway.
The Doctor held onto the consol of the TARDIS as he was thrown about. Once the swaying stopped and the TARDIS had landed the Doctor opened the door only to see a void, passageways to other universes and a safe trip here. The Doctor walked over to the consol to set in new coordinates but she wouldn't move, she needed to recharge after the visit to the parallel world so the Doctor stepped outside knowing it wasn't the brightest thing to do but something outside was drawing him outside. Towards her!
Rose had her bag over her shoulder and she was walking towards the air port. She needed a break away from everyone she knew. As she took a step forwards she stepped into a black void of nothing, Rose stood still unable to move, and suddenly Rose felt a burning in the back pocket of her jeans and inside was the TARDIS key,
"If it's glowing that means its close" Rose held the key tight in her palm no matter how much it was burning her hand. Trough the blackness Rose could see a small spec of blue, but the more Rose stared at it the more it turned into the most familiar thing in the whole world. Rose ran but her legs would only move slightly so Rose had a different idea she swam.
It's not over yet I have a little funny bit and the next chapter should be the last.
