A/N: I know I took a while to update last time and I'll try and be more frequent. Nag me if you think I'm taking too long. Dedicated to AmyAmidala
"Wow, that's some story. So you and the Doc finally got your act together huh?" Jack breathed.
"I'm sorry, but where is this guy? If that's his, then where is he?" Kel said.
"I don't know," was Rose's reply.
"Rose, do you mind if I speak to you in private?" Paul said a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Sure."
Rose was about to ask Paul what was going on when he kissed her – right in front of a devastated Doctor.
"Doctor, I – we- he, it's not what it looks like," Rose spluttered.
"I know it's not. I'm telepathic remember, Paul, I thought we had a deal. Young man you made a powerful enemy today. Now, if you touch my Rose again, I promise you, you won't want to see the universe, I'll scare it right out of your system! You hear me!" the Doctor replied. He was furious, never again would he trust an ape like that.
Paul ran like a bat out of hell away from the Doctor, knowing he'd just lost the love of his life. At least he still had the website.

"Doctor, you might want to close your eyes right now, I've got a surprise for you. And no cheating or what not," Rose teased covering the Doctor's eyes with her hands and guiding him to the courtyard where Jack and Kel were mucking about.
Rose indicated to the Doctor and the pair stopped tickling the other. Sparks were flying there and Rose made a mental note to pay Jack out about it later on. Especially about Kel's age.
"Rose? What is this surprise? Unless you've got your TARDIS key in that lock and your bags sitting on the door frame there's not much more you can do to surprise me."
"Wanna bet?" Jack drawled and Rose pulled her hands away.
Jack pulled the Doctor into a hug and both men laughed.
"How on earth did you get here?" the Doctor yelled the joy obvious in his tone.
"Crashed the Chula ship I got given when I returned to the Time Agency. By the way, is that my old T-Shirt you're wearing there Doctor?"
The Doctor blushed and admitted it quietly. Kel and Rose chortled at this, strengthening a bond that was fast becoming a friendship.
"Doctor, there is one more surprise," Rose said quite seriously.
"What now? Is a robotic dog about to come whizzing from around that tree?"
"No, I did pack my bags Doctor. I want to come back, if you'll have me."
The Doctor laughed joyously at this and swept Rose into a hug and kissing her head. Jack and Kel turned away at this point because this was the point in the movie where the bit lip lock took place. And how right they were.
Nothing could top this day in the Doctor's book. He'd found his old friend. Made a new one. And gotten the love of his life back where she belonged – in his life.

Somewhere, deep underground, these happy moments were watched. The two pairs of eyes plotted and schemed, it was not prophesised in their books that the Doctor should live happily ever after. He had scorned them and together they sought their revenge. Yes, it appeared that the Doctor had more friends than enemies making him more and more vulnerable. Especially in his current state of mind, what it being so fragile and so open to hurt, be careful Time Lord for your glory may just be the end of you.
So, I understand that it's short, but it it's shorter, the updates will be more frequent. Hope you liked it. Next update up probably next week sometime as I'm going away this weekend.
Reviews are welcome.
