"SORRY!! OMIGOSH!! I AM SO SORRY!!"

"Rose! You believe me!!"

"Well duh!! I could have never imagined that you would scream like a girl! Wow! You've-" But she couldn't finish because the doctor had squeezed all the air out of her in one of his bone crushing hugs, whirled her around three times, and set her back on the floor.

Then the two pairs of brown eyes connected, and they could not break free. (In the midst of this, Jackie decided to leave the two 'love birds' alone because she was a 'cool mom'.)

"Rose Tyler, defender of the earth!" he cried not caring who could hear.

Rose blushed against the Doctors chest. She looked up and noticed that the TARDIS door was open.

"Doctor…" she growled. "Why is-"

"Now Rose," he cut off "I know you think that my life blinked into existence the day I met you, and in a way it was, but sometimes I just get tired of the same routine! I need something to shake it up once in a while!" he defended.

"But…I liked it the way it was…!" she sighed, "let me see the full damage."

The doctor stepped aside to let her into the TARDIS. She twirled around three times trying to take it all in. The floor! It wasn't grating anymore! Instead it was covered in a soft dark purple carpet. And the bench! It was transformed into a hot pink leather sofa, with pillows with cats on them! The console was no longer emitting a soft turquoisey glow, that, had been replaced by baby pink.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"Now, Rose, it isn't my fault! Jack was here, and he said if he ever saw that I had changed it (without a good reason) he would kiss me again!! And then to top that off, he has no taste I mean none. Of course what can you expect from a gay immortal man?" he took a big breath.

"Well now you have a good reason. I'm back. And I hate it."

"YAY!!"

The Doctor ran over to the controls and clicked a few buttons, twiddled a few dials, swung the screen around, bezorpeled the sphere, and twiddled a few more dials. Slowly the light morphed back to turquoise, the carpet back to grating and the couch back to the bench.

"Much, much better." the Doctor and Rose sighed at the same time. They smiled sheepishly.

"Hang on, Jack?" Rose asked "last time I saw him, he was dead."

"Long story."

Jackie burst into the TARDIS, shoving a last t-shirt into an already overflowing bag.

"Here you go then!" she said shoving it onto the Doctor. "I'll miss you sweetheart" she whispered into Roses ear as she tightly hugged her goodbye.

"Thanks mum" Rose sighed. "Alright then," she said louder "I'll go put this in my old room, and then we'll…go." It looked like she choked on the last word. She turned and almost ran out into the halls of the TARDIS.

"Doctor." Jackie said quietly "you said that it was impossible."

"It was."

"What changed?"

"I found something even more powerful than a supernova."

"What is it?"

"One human life." Jackie gasped.

"Where are you going to get one of them then? Its not like you can pop down to the shop and get one!" she hissed. "I had no idea we were so powerful" she added as an after thought.

"Oh but you are Jackie. Each and every one of you is the equivalent to…uh…a lot of power." he finished lamely.

"But who? Who would give up their life?"

"Well…"

And then they heard a scream.

"Rose!"

The Doctor ran towards the sound and crashed into Rose who was coming the other way.

"Doctor…the…the…the…captain…he's in there…and…"

"Rose I know."

"You know? Why is he plugged into the TARDIS like some…some power source?"

The doctor explained to her what he had to Jackie.
