Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who, but I will soon own a kitten!! Yay!! I'm a cat person (unlike the Doctor). I won't actually own a kitten though…my landlord has declared 'no pets'…sigh…
A/N: Sorry 'bout the longish update…I was in Edinburgh with no computer. Well Rose has just heard the Doctor telling Martha that 'she'd never say yes'. OOOHH!! And now…well I'm not sure yet actually. Are you supposed to write these things before or after you write? Cause I write this one before, and the bottom one after.
"N-nothing." Rose lied. "I just saw…a…uhh…"
"Rose." The Doctor looked at her in almost disappointment. "I never thought that you would lie to me."
"I thought I never would either…" She mumbled.
"So, you never answered my first question." He piped up brightly. But Rose knew that this brightness was faked, forced.
"And that was…" She trailed off hoping to buy some time for herself.
"How much did you hear?" The second time he said it, he was much more gentle.
But to his surprise, Rose burst out crying instead of telling him what was wrong. Rose much have heard too much! She was afraid of hurting his feelings! Which of course she would. When she said no. Which she never would, because he would never ask-
"I heard…I…"
The Doctor stood up and walked over to Rose where he put his arm around her and walked her over to the jump seat, where they sat down.
"You said…"
"I said…"
"You were going to…"
"Going to…"
"Going to propose…to someone…why did you even come to get me?" She finally burst out.
"What? Rose, I came to get you because…"
"Doctor?"
But he stood up and walked away. She couldn't follow immediately, but after a few seconds she got up and trailed after him out of the control room. He knocked on all the doors through the hall, but no one answered. Not really knowing where he might have gone, she wandered into her room, where she found him pacing.
She stopped short.
"Rose, you are amazing, smart, funny, and most of all I…" He trailed off. His head snapped up.
"Hey," She whispered.
He closed his gapping mouth.
"H-Hi. Umm, sorry, I'll just get out then…" He managed to stumble out.
"No, it's ok, you can stay." She sat down on her bed.
"No really I should…" But he sat down on the bed. He put his hand in his hands and sighed.
"Doctor? What's wrong?"
"Everything" But it was so quiet that she could hardly make out the word.
She put her arms around him.
"Not everything could be wrong. Something has to be going right. Otherwise I wouldn't be here." She grinned with her tongue on her teeth.
Suddenly the TARDIS shuddered and both Rose and the Doctor were thrown onto the ground.
"We must have landed!" Said the Doctor as he jumped to his feet. "But I didn't ask her to go anywhere…" He was talking to himself as he raced to the control room.
Rose struggled to her feet, and raced after him. Suddenly the room shuddered again and she fell into the control room she stood up again and more slowly this time walked over to the consol. But her efforts were in vain. Once again it jolted and she was thrown, not on the floor this time, but onto the Doctor.
"Whoa, easy there Rose." He said jokingly, smiling a big cheeky grin.
"Sorry," Rose managed to get out. "I guess I lost my balance…" She trailed off as she carefully got up. "So, any idea where we are?"
" A planet called Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus."
"Ok, I will never be able to say that one."
"I can't either. I guessed."
Rose realised that the awkwardness was gone from between them. Looked like the 'monster therapy' was working its magic.
The room trembled and Rose was thrown onto the jump seat.
"What is going on out there?" howled the Doctor. He ran to the door and yanked it open. It appeared that the TARDIS was floating, but after a few seconds he realized that this was not the case. Instead, it was being carried by four, short, tentacle covered beings. He understood their conversations, thanks to the handy-dandy translator-in-brain feature that the TARDIS offered. He gathered that they were Lanoitpecs and that they were taking the TARDIS to be an offering for their Gods.
"Maledetto." Ooh!! He'd never sworn in Italian before!
"What's going on?" Rose's soft voice behind him made him jump.
"Well," he whispered, closing the door behind him. "We are being carried away by short people who are going to sacrifice the TARDIS to their Gods."
"So, something bad then."
"Very."
Ohh!! what will happen next? I have a faint idea!! the planet ( Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus) is a word. Its in a broadway show. but which one? dundunduun. Oh yeah, when Rose walked in on the Doctor in her room. It will make sense later if it doesn't already. I don't know how long till the next update. I kinda swiched POVs here. sorry.
