Suddenly a foghorn could be heard as boat ploughed through the TARDIS, both Rose and Jack fell to the floor staring up at it in disbelieve.
"What!" Rose said staring up at it.
"You didn't put the bloody shields up!" Jack snapped.
"What!" Rose got on her knees and picked up the rubber ring that fell of the ship, it read Titanic. "What!?"
Rose dropped the rubber ring on to the floor and ran to the console, she began to spin something and Jack watched in awe as the walls of the TARDIS fixed themselves.
"Didn't the Doctor once boast that Genghis Khans men couldn't get in here?" Jack asked "so how the hell did that happen?"
"Because I didn't put the shields up, without them the TARDIS is completely defenceless, poor girl" Rose said stroking the TARDIS's console. "I'll put them up now to avoid more damage and then Captain we have a date on a boat"
"Brilliant, I can drown all over again" Jack muttered sarcastically.
"We'll get off before the boat sinks, I promise!" Rose shouted over her shoulder as she wandered into a corridor.
"Where are you going?" Jack hollered after her.
"We're going to a party right? I need to dress up and so do you"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose swallowed hard as she pulled out a dress, the dress in her hands were in Marion Smith's belongings, technically it was from 1909 but neither she or Martha were careful when they packed things for Marion Smith. It was a pink silk Edwardian dress with a high white lace neck carefully trimmed with forest green, black or ivory silk. Part of Rose felt like she was betraying Marion and James by wearing it, after all she wasn't Marion Smith. She slowly began to change into the dress, wishing that she could actually keep the leather jacket.
She walked up to the console room slowly and found Jack in his tux looking rather dashing and charming.
"Ready to sweep some innocent girl off of her feet Prince Charming" Rose said sweetly.
"Well I'm hoping that some hot dashing bloke or sweet looking lady will come my way" Jack said winking. "Dame Rose may I have the pleasure of escorting you to the sinkable ship"
"Why yes Captain Harkness you may" Rose said slipping an arm through Jack's and allowing him to lead her out of the TARDIS. They entered into what seemed like to be a storeroom. "Classy Harkness you really know how to show a girl a good time" Rose said sarcastically.
"C'mon the party is this way" Jack said tugging Rose along.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I'm following the sounds of music"
"Oh bother" Rose said rolling her eyes.
They entered a richly furnished room where soft music played gently in the background as people chattered and clinked glasses. Scattered round the room were golden angels in white robes. Jack whistled.
"Don't remember this room the last time I went on the Titanic" Jack said.
Rose walked up to a window "Jack I don't think this is the Titanic you went on"
"Oh whys that?" Jack asked
Attention all passengers. The Titanic is now in orbit above Sol three, also known as Earth. Population: Human, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Christmas." An electronic voice said through a speaker.
"That's why" Rose said and the two of them stared down at Earth which glowed prettily with its usual Earth light.
"So what time are we?" Jack asked.
"Erm...Christmas?" Rose offered, she turned round and found a touch screen "maybe this will tell us" she touched the screen. The logo immediately peeled backward to reveal a bald man with vivid blue eyes and a narrow moustache.
"Max Capricorn Cruise liners," the man said proudly.
"Who's the cue ball?" Jack asked.
"Shh," Rose hissed a finger on her lips.
"The fastest. The furthest. The best," the man boasted. "And I should know because my name is Max," he finished with a smile, and Rose caught the glint of a gold tooth. The grinning face of Max was replaced by the star ship logo once more.
"Wow I feel so knowledgeable about my whereabouts" Jack said sarcastically. "Come on Rosie Pose lets work it out ourselves"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDW
They found themselves in a casino like room where people were gambling, eating and dancing. Christmas carols could be heard and everyone was bustling with excitement.
"Very festive, very atmospheric" Rose said grinning, glad to see that her far too old fashioned dress wasn't going to stand out.
"Merry Christmas" one of the stewards said as they walked past.
"Oh it certainly is" Jack said his voice filled to the brim with innuendo as he watched the stewards retreating form carefully.
"Stop it!" Rose said.
"Oh come on! It's a party what am I supposed to do?" Jack protested.
Rose sighed "go on, go and introduce yourself but you're not bringing your one nighter into the TARDIS or against her in fact"
"As if I would do that! The girl would cut of my hot water supply" Jack said over his shoulder as he walked towards the crowds.
Rose however decided it would be best if she worked out more on what time they were in and where exactly where this ship came from. She strolled up casually to a golden angel and beamed up at it.
"Evening," she said politely to it. "Passenger fifty-seven. Terrible memory, Remind me. Uh, you would be...?"
"Information," the robotic angel spoke. "Heavenly Host supplying tourist information."
"Where have we come from?" she asked it.
"Information," the Host started again. "The Titanic is en route from the planet Sto in the Cassavalian Belt. The purpose of the cruise is to experience primitive cultures."
"So, why Earth?" Rose shrugged. "They aren't that primitive-"
"Information," the host turned its black eye sockets to her again. "All designations are chosen by Mr Max Capricorn, president of Max—Max—Max…"
The host's head started twitching, as it repeated the word Max in higher and higher pitch. Rose took a step back. "Ooh, bit of a glitch," she mumbled to herself reaching into the pink silk purse she took with her for the sonic screwdriver. Before the sonic was out, a steward raced over.
"Apologies ma'am," he addressed her. "We can handle this," he waved to some additional stewards to assist him, and with the flick of a wrist, switched the host off and they started carrying it away. "Software problem, that's all. Leave it with us. Merry Christmas to you."
"Merry Christmas" Rose replied with a smile which immediately fell when she heard a crash and Jack shouting, she turned round and ran up to Jack who was yelling at another man as a blonde woman was picking up smashed pieces of glass. "Here let me help" she said as she bent down to pick the glass up.
"Don't you walk away from me!" Jack shouted waving a fist in the air about to move towards the man when Rose grabbed hold of his ankle.
"Jack, he's not worth it" she said tiredly.
Jack glowered at the man who was complaining loudly about the staff before he bent down to help out the blonde waitress and Rose.
"You shouldn't have done that" the blonde said quietly "we're used to be treated like this, after all we are staff"
"Staff have rights" Jack said stubbornly "Rose this is Astrid Peth, this lovely lady has been keeping me company while you were playing with the angel thing, though in my opinion she is the angel"
Astrid blushed and looked down at her hands "I just bring the drinks sir, ma'am"
"Please Astrid I have told you to call me Jack" Jack practically purred causing both Rose and Astrid to blush.
"You can call me Rose" Rose said quickly to cover up both girls embarrassment.
"Err...thanks" Astrid looked awkward for a moment before she went into staff mode "are you enjoying the cruise?"
"It's all right" Rose said shrugging.
Jack snorted "she's a riot" he said sarcastically before turning to Astrid. "What about yourself Astrid Peth? Long way from home, Planet Sto."
"Doesn't feel that different.," Astrid shrugged. "I spent three years working at the spaceport diner, travelled all the way here…and I'm still waiting on tables," she raised her eyebrows, looking unimpressed at herself, then bobbed her head and walked toward a table by the window.
Jack turned to Rose with a hopeful look.
"Oh no Jack, no, no, no, no" Rose said shaking her head and crossing her arms.
"Please Rosie" Jack pleaded giving her his famous puppy dog eyes look.
"NO! You said so yourself that you aren't staying longer than this one adventure so why should I allow your latest flame to come with?"
"Because you need someone" Jack whispered "and she dreams of travelling, the two of you can get on well"
"I'll think about it" Rose said "but I'm not making any promises"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
They made friends with a lovely fat couple dressed in purple velvet called Morvin and Foon, who seemed chatty and rather sweet. They were also under the naive believe that Rose and Jack were married, no matter how many times they tried to deny it.
"Attention please. Shore leave tickets Red six-seven now activated. Red six-seven." Said the voice on the speaker.
Morvin took a ticket out of his pocket. "Red six-seven! That's us," he said to Foon. They stood up and turned to Jack and Rose. "Are you Red six-seven?"
"Don't know" Rose said looking at Jack "are we?"
"Might as well be" Jack said shrugging.
Rose pulled out the psychic paper "then yes we are"
Morvin and Foon hurried toward a small gathering of people crowded around an old man dressed in tweed, holding up a red sign with '6-7' printed on it.
"Red six-seven. Red six-seven. This way, fast as you can," the old man was calling.
"Hold on a minute" Jack said running off.
"Jack, what are you doing?" Rose called after him, almost immediately he came back with Astrid on tow...he really was determined for Rose to find a new companion wasn't he? "Are you sure Jack?" she asked.
"She's right" Astrid said looking worried "I'd get the sack!"
"Oh come on Astrid live a little, let your gorgeous hair down, think about it, a brand new sky" Jack said in a low seductive voice...if Rose says yes to having Astrid on board she will make rule number one don't talk about what Jack is like in bed, there are some things a girl doesn't need to know about her honouree brother.
The old man at the head of the crowd put down his red sign and addressed everyone."To repeat, I am Mr Copper, the ship's historian," he introduced, "and I shall be taking you to old London town in the country of U.K. ruled over by good King Wenceslas."
Rose and Jack looked each other from the corner of their eyes trying their hardest not to laugh.
"Now," Mr Copper continued, "human beings worshipped the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws, and his wife Mary."
Rose bit her lip hard trying her best to not giggle when Jack pressed a fist against his mouth to block the chuckles.
"And every Christmas Eve the people of U.K. go to war with the country of Turkey."
Rose turned away from Mr Copper and buried her head into Jack's shoulders giggling as Jack suddenly 'coughed' loudly.
"They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner… like savages," Mr Copper continued.
Finally Jack couldn't take it anymore and started to laugh hysterically. "Excuse me, sorry, sorry," he called out. "But, um…where did you get all this from?"
"Well, I have a first class degree in Earthonomics. Now stand by..." Mr Copper said nervously.
"And me! And me! Red six-seven!" a voice shouted from behind them. The ticket holders turned, to see a short, red-spiked alien in a tuxedo shuffling through the crowd holding a red ticket.
Mr Copper turned around. "Well, take a bracelet, sir," he handed another metal bracelet over.
Rose and Jack exchanged nervous looks, they both knew if UNIT or a different branch of Torchwood caught the sight of this little guy then they'll all spend the rest of their lives in a holding cell. "Uh, but, um, hold on, hold on," Rose said looking down at the small red alien. "What was your name?"
"Bannakaffalatta," the alien answered confidently.
Rose sighed, what was it with aliens and having long names? "OK, Bannakaffalatta. But its Christmas Eve down there," she addressed Mr Copper now, but the man didn't seem to be listening. "Late-night shopping, tons of people. He's like a walking conker."
Rose didn't register the warm fuzzy feeling that came over her body when suddenly she was on a street. "No offence, but you'll cause a riot because the streets are going to be packed with shoppers and parties and…oh." Rose turned on the spot, confused.
"Why's it empty?" Jack asked quickly.
Astrid sighed happily. "It's beautiful."
"But what happened to everyone?" Rose asked loudly.
"They fled the city" the three of them turned to see an old man by the newspaper stand. He had a grey and white beard and wore a red hat and brown coat, his gloved hands clutching a polystyrene cup filled with tea. "After all London is no longer safe at Christmas"
"What do you mean?" Astrid asked looking wide eyed.
"Well first there was that giant rock ship with all the people with a positive blood on the roofs"
"That was the Doctor's fault" Rose murmured "but he stopped the Scyorax in time"
"Then there was that Christmas Star" the old man said. "Christmas is no longer safe here. Though our good Queen Elizabeth doesn't believe it and refuses to leave Buckingham palace, god bless that woman. I'm following her example"
"Good for you!" Rose said warmly "but all the mystery is up there, London is safe"
"It's those damn aliens!" the old man cursed "they just can't seem to leave us alone, I told my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter thinks I'm nuts but my granddaughter believes me, claims she saw an alien as well and I believe her, because my Don-"
Suddenly they were pulled back onto the ship and the old man faded out of their sight.
"I was talking to him!" Rose shouted in protest.
Mr Copper cut in hurriedly. "Yes, I'm sorry about that. A bit of a problem. If I could have your bracelets-"
The steward who'd shut down the host before joined Mr Copper. "Apologies, ladies and gentlemen, Bannakaffalatta, we seem to have suffered a slight power fluctuation," he smiled. "If you'd like to return to the festivities. And on behalf of Max Capricorn Cruise liners, free drinks will be provided."
The ticket holders seemed to like this idea and walked off rather quickly.
"looks like I'm going to be busy serving free drinks" Astrid sighed, she turned round and kissed Jack on the cheek "thank you, that was the best thing ever!"
"no problem" Jack said looking slightly dazed, if Rose didn't know Jack any better she would have said that he was falling for Astrid. However she was far more interested in what the steward said.
"What sort of power fluctuation?"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
After getting nothing from any of the stewards or Hosts, Rose and Jack hacked into the Max Capricorn Cruise liners system of the ship, only to find that the shields were down. After trying to warn everyone and having no one listening to them, three meteoroids hit the ship and threw them down to the floor.
"Is it over?" Rose whispered.
"Think so" Jack groaned as he got up slowly, he stared at his shirt which was stained crimson "crap I thought I died, bit hard to tell when it was possible to only be knocked unconscious"
"JACK!" Jack was suddenly almost knocked over by Astrid who looked terrified.
"Ev-everyone…Ladies and gentlemen, Bannakaffalatta, I must apologize on behalf of Max Capricorn Cruise liners. We seem to have had a small accident." One of the stewards said shakily.
Suddenly the Hosts began to attack everyone. It became obvious that they were doing what they were programmed for and Rose managed to get through to someone on the bridge and she began to give them some instructions. Soon the Hosts stopped and disappeared.
Everyone all right? Rose?" Jack called out
"Yeah," she said distractedly.
"Foon, Morvin?" a gasp and a wave from her, along with a nod from her husband. "Mr. Copper?" a quick nod. "Bannakaffalatta?" The little red man, who had nearly joined the Steward, nodded and clutched to his little chest. " Astrid?" the waitress nodded silently before burring her head into Jack's shoulder, Jack tightened his grip on her waist "And you, what was your name?"
The man in the antique suit, who had insulted Astrid earlier and almost got into a fight with, nodded, straightening his tie. "Rickston Slade."
"You all right?" Rose asked.
"No thanks to that idiot," Slade replied.
"That man was just killed!" Astrid protested.
"Then he's a dead idiot," Slade countered.
"OI!" Astrid bellowed, looking as if she was about to slap Slade, Jack tightened his grip on her.
"Sweetheart you don't want to end up in a fight, not now. Rose what's the plan?"
"We need to get to the bridge and stop this ship from crashing down onto Earth"
We're going to die," Foon exclaimed, and everyone else started talking around her.
Rose held her hands up for quiet. "Now, just first things first. One, We are going to climb through this ship. Two, We are going to reach the bridge. Three, we are going to save the Titanic. And finally four, we're going to save Earth. Now let's go"
"Hang on a minute. Who put you in charge? Just who the hell are you, anyway?" Slade demanded to know looking sulky.
"My name is Rose Tyler, I'm a Time Lady, I'm from Earth , yes that's right the planet below us and I'm going to save all of your lives and the six billion below us. Have you got a problem with that?" Rose's hazel eyes glow dangerously with anger causing Slade to back away a few steps.
"No" he said ducking to look at his feet.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
He sat there on his favourite hill...well not his favourite since there wasn't that many around but it was a nice high hill far away from the Tyler mansion, not that he hated the mansion or anything but with Jackie Tyler, Mickey's Gran and Tony the incredibly loud shrieking toddler (so obviously Jackie's son) being out in the peace and quiet was nice. He sighed, he missed the TARDIS, he missed the freedom of going everywhere he wished but the thing he missed most of all was Rose.
"Oh Rose" he whispered staring up at the stars "I wish you were here, it's no fun without you. I wonder what you're doing"
For a year he had an ongoing nightmare where he was human and practically enslaved by the Master, Rose wore Galifreyan robes and had two hearts, Jack was immortal and wrong, chained to the wall and everything depended on some woman called Martha Jones. His therapist thought that he wanted a fantasy where everything was much worse than this situation to remind him that life isn't so bad. Somehow he didn't believe that, the dreams felt very real and a few nights he actually woke with a bruise from the Master's torture or his lips swollen from Rose's kisses and his pants sticky with cum...but they can't be real can they?
"There you are, told you we would find him here Jake"
The Doctor inwardly groaned as Mickey and Jake threw themselves on either side of him both holding a four pack of beer.
"Mate are you in one of your depressed moods again?" Jake asked.
"Yes" the Doctor hissed between gritted teeth "got a problem with that?"
"No, no" Jake said quickly.
"We thought we would keep you company" Mickey said "we brought beer"
"I can see that, you do realise that alcohol does not work on my superior physiology" the Doctor said smirking slightly.
Both men snorted.
"Boss we were there at the Christmas party" Mickey said as Jake sniggered.
"What happened?" the Doctor said remembering that he might allowed himself to get drunk in hopes that he wouldn't dream that night.
"You declared your undying love to Jackie" Jake said in between laughs as Mickey shook with silent laughter.
"Did I do something else?" the Doctor muttered, praying that he didn't.
"Nothing funny" Mickey said causing him and Jake to sober up from their laughter.
"What did I do?"
"You kept crying, saying it was your fault, that everything was your fault and then you kept asking for Rose, kept saying 'tell her that I love her, tell her before its too late'"
"No wonder you need a therapist" Jake muttered "too many unresolved issues"
"I had a bad chi-"
"A bad childhood, we know, we know" Jake and Mickey said in unison, rolling their eyes.
The men remained silent as they stared up at the stars, suddenly, slowly, one by one...the stars were disappearing.
"What?" the Doctor said "that's impossible, it can't...what..."
"Torchwood" Mickey said firmly getting up.
"So much for a peaceful Saturday night" Jake said sighing.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Everyone but Slade, Astrid and Mr Copper was dead. Rose and Jack left the three in a lounge while they went to the docks below to question whoever it was that did this, to their surprise it was Max Capricorn.
"This interview is terminated," Max Capricorn commanded.
"Hold on!" Jack said jumping between Rose and the Hosts as the Hosts pull off their halos, so much for them being angelic.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Rose said shaking her head, pushing Jack gently to the side. "Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! I can work it out. It's like a task," she babbled, Jack was wondering if she was hyper or something "So…Business is failing and you wreck the ship so that makes things even worse. Oh yes! No. Yes!" she shouted, turning to Jack. "The business isn't failing."
"It's failed already," Jack said in realisation. "Past tense."
"So that's the plan," Rose snarled "A retirement plan. Two-thousand on this ship, six billion underneath us, all of them slaughtered. And why? Because Max Capricorn is a loser."
"I never lose," Max hissed, rolling forward.
"You can't even sink the Titanic!" Jack jibed a sneer on his face.
"Ha!" Capricorn barked. "I can cancel the engines from here."
An alarm started to bleep immediately, a woman's voice announcing that the engines were closing.
"You can't do this!" Jack yelled.
"You can stop this, stop it now, you don't have to kill them!" Rose pleaded.
"Host, hold them!" Max ordered "Not so clever now, are you?" Max goaded. "Time for me to retire. The Titanic is falling. The sky will burn...Let the Christmas inferno commence. Oh! Oh, Host! Kill them."
"So much for not having a blood filled Christmas" Jack muttered.
"Mr Capricorn!" Astrid's voice rang out from behind them. "I resign."
The waitress pushed the forklift into gear and stepped on it, accelerating toward Max Capricorn's chamber and smashed into it before he knew what was happening. Host from all directions started throwing their halos at Astrid as she lifted the life support chamber and head of Max Capricorn off the ground. Halos smashed into the forklift but none hit Astrid as sparks flew everywhere and the wheels span, smoking.
"Astrid, don't, they've cut the break line!" Jack screamed.
Astrid flicked Jack a meaningful look, before raising the fork higher, lifting Max completely off the ground, and stepping on the accelerator, sending them both flying into the orange-lit chasm.
"No!" Jack screamed.
The Hosts suddenly let go of them, and Jack raced to the edge and leaned over. "Astrid!" Rose ran over to Jack's side and held a tight grip on his shoulder, keeping him from jumping over after the blonde woman.
"I'm so sorry Jack" she whispered.
Suddenly the Hosts surrounded them and picked them up before flying them up in the air towards the bridge.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
After a hurried chat with the man, Jack was calling Buckingham Palace as Rose fiddled with the controls.
"Hello? Yes this is Captain Jack Harkness...look I know the Queen is still angry about what happened...look it was fifty years ago can we let it go? This is a Torchwood emergency, please? Thank you, tell the Queen to get out of the palace now, a ship might crash into it from the sky! Yes...no this isn't a ploy to get her back in my bed, just tell her!"
Rose turned to stare at Jack in a mixture of horror, amusement, curiosity and shock "you slept with Queen Elizabeth the second?"
"Yeah, she's an animal in bed" Jack said in a dream like voice almost like himself again. "now hurry up"
"Will do, will do, so what's your name?" she asked the man.
"Alonzo" the man trembled.
"Oh you are kidding me...the Doctor is so going to kill me he wanted to say this, allonsy Alonzo!"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
"We made it!" Alonzo cried out hugging Rose.
Rose patted his back, sobering as she thought about Astrid. "Not all of us." And then she remembered something "Jack!" she squealed jumping away from Alonzo. "Teleport!"
"What?"
"Teleport bracelet" Rose said breathlessly
"Astrid was wearing one!" Jack caught on, triumph in his voice. "C'mon!" he grabbed hold of Rose's wrist and yanked her out as they raced back to the room they had been in ages ago.
Rose was using the sonic screwdriver on the panel trying her hardest to make it work because Jack deserved to see someone live.
"Mr Copper, what's the emergency code for this thing?" Jack was frantically pressing buttons on his wrist band, then dialling codes into the panel itself.
Mr Copper looked dazed. "Uh, let me see..."
"What the hell are you doing?" Alonzo asked looking confused.
"We can bring her back," Jack grinned across the room. "If a passenger has an accident on shore leave and they're still wearing their teleport, their molecules are automatically suspended and held in stasis so that we can just trigger the sh- That's it!" Jack pressed a final couple of buttons, then stepped back.
Within seconds, a glowing, transparent Astrid appeared beside him.
"I'm falling," she announced quietly.
"Only halfway there," Jack returned to the panel. "Come on, Rose, you can do this I know you can"
"I keep falling," the transparent Astrid looked confused.
"Rose, here -" Jack called out urgently, lying on the ground and pointing to the panel above. "Feed back the molecule grid, boost it with the restoration matrix!" the teleport sparked as Jack pressed more buttons. "Help me!"
"Jack, she's gone." Rose said quietly her voice dead.
"No!" Jack grated, as more sparks fell from the podium into his hair.
"She's gone, Jack," Rose repeated in the same tone.
Jack ignored her and hurried out from the podium, looking at Astrid and dusting off his hands.
She was still transparent. Jack kicked the teleport in frustration, then turned to Rose.
"You can do anything!" he screamed. "Help me save her!"
"I wish I can" Rose said feeling tears well up in her eyes. "I really do Jack but I can't"
"Stop me falling," Astrid begged.
Jack heard her this time and the anger seemed to dissipate from his face. He turned, slowly, and stepped toward Astrid.
"The system was too badly damaged. She's just atoms, Jack. An echo with the ghost of consciousness," Rose said quietly watching him carefully "She's stardust," Rose sniffed, wiping her face and watching as the transparent form took notice of Jack, standing in front of her. Seemed to focus on him.
Jack reached out a hand, and stopped before touching her, his hand shaking. "You're not falling, Astrid," he told her in a wavering voice, full of passion and grief. He tried to smile. "You're flying."
The stardust flew in a single beam out the window, into space.
Jack turned back to Rose, his face covered in tears.
"Rose" he said looking firm "Take me home."
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
They stood there side by side on the Roald Dahl Pas. Rose sighed before she turned to face Jack who looked so much like the Doctor, eyes filled with so much hurt. They had said goodbye to Mr Copper who was settled with a million pounds and prepared to live a life and now it was time to say goodbye to each other.
"I'm sorry about Astrid" Rose whispered.
"So am I...I couldn't resist, she reminded me of you and Gwen, so eager to see everything, so willing to die for what was right..."
"But she isn't dead, she's out there flying, doing what she wished to do for her whole life"
"Yeah...everyone I know is going to age and die Rose"
"Not me" Rose promised.
"Not enough, sorry Rosie but it's not enough. What's going to happen to me? Will I end like Astrid, at least that way I can spend forever with someone I might have loved..."
Rose couldn't think of what to say.
"You know I was the first person in my planet to make it in the Time Agency, they were so proud of me...they called me the Face of Boe, I was a poster boy"
Rose bit her lip to stop laughing, she couldn't believe it...Jack was the Face of Boe, Jack was going to be one of the most legendary person of all time and space.
Jack sighed and cupped Rose's face forcing her to look at him "promise me Rose, promise me that you'll find someone. Please don't be alone"
"I promise" Rose whispered.
Jack leaned in and kissed her, he pulled away and held her to him tightly. "goodbye Rosie"
"Goodbye Jack"
He then pulled away and ran off down the Pas to find his team. Rose looked up at the sky and she wondered how long will it be before she finds someone else, she watch the blue stardust of Astrid fly over the sky before she went into the TARDIS.
