It has been two months since Jack had left the TARDIS during those two months Rose hadn't left Earth at all. She spent them with Sarah Jane, K-9 and the newest member of the Smith family Luke. Just trying to get her bearings back, it seemed that these days Sarah Jane was the only person who can help her and Sarah Jane knew exactly what Rose needed...a distraction.
"Look what I found on the internet" Sarah Jane said at dinner passing Rose some printed out sheets.
"Sarah Jane you don't need to go on a diet" Rose said frowning "you have a perfectly fine figure"
"It's not for me, it's for you!" Sarah Jane snapped.
"Are you trying to say that I'm fat?" Rose asked pretending to be hurt, truthfully she couldn't careless if she was or not. She peered at the advert on the first page "the fat just walks away...bit cheesy isn't it?"
"Read the other pages, some theorists and experienced people like you and me think-"
"That Adipose is up to something" Rose finished flipping through the pages "that it might be alien"
"Yes and I thought it could be something you could look into, to get out and to-"
"Stop living on your sofa?"
"It's not that I don't love having you around Rose" Sarah Jane said pleadingly.
"I know I need to get out there again...its like the last time" Rose said and then she shook her head "no its worse than last time, last time I didn't have the knowledge of what it was like...last time I didn't see my friends leave me"
"You still dream of him?" Sarah Jane whispered taking Rose's hand. "You dream of that year?"
"He never was" Rose whispered back "I have to remember that. Ok I'll check out this Adipose thing out and get out of your hair...but can I come back?"
"When you need me" Sarah Jane promised. Rose got up and was about to pick up her leather jacket when Sarah Jane said "oh and Rose?"
"Yes?"
"UNIT and Torchwood aren't the only ones that know about you" Sarah Jane said quickly "someone has been searching for you, I don't know who they are but they seem rather eager...be careful in London"
"I will thank you for everything"
The two hugged briefly before Rose shouted a bye to Luke and ran off into the TARDIS, time to learn to live again.

She slipped through the back door easily with the help of her sonic screwdriver, someone walked passed and she flashed them her psychic paper. "Rose Tyler, Health and Safety"
She found where the meeting with reporters were being held and slipped into the projection room, leaning her elbows on the window as she watched the blonde woman – Ms Foster stand there in her black suit, matching glasses and high heels looking rather intimidating...bit like a headmistress.
"Adipose Industries" she started "the twenty first century way to lose weight, no exercise, no diet, no pain. Just a life long freedom of fat, the holy grail of the modern age" she smiled down at the audience and held out a small pill "and here it is, you take one capsule, one capsule once a day for three weeks and the fat, and the fat as they say" she turned to the screen behind her and a loud male voice echoed through the room.
"And the fat just walks away"
Rose rolled her eyes and caught the attention of the man who was staring at her, she sighed and flashed her psychic paper at him "Rose Tyler, Health and Safety...Film Department"
"Excuse me, Miss Foster, if I could?" a reporter called out. "I'm Penny Carter, science correspondent for The Observer. There are a thousand diet pills on the market, a thousand con men stealing people's money. How do we know the fat isn't going straight into your bank account?"
"Oh Penny, if cynicism burnt up calories, we'd all be as thin as rakes," Miss Foster smiled, and a couple of people in the theatre laughed. "But if you want the science, I oblige,"
"Adipose Industries," the male voice from before boomed "The Adipose capsule is composed of a synthesised mobilising lipase, bound to a large protein molecule."
It took all of Rose's control to not snort, she may have not gotten a GCSE or A-Level or a degree in science but she had been studying everything scientific for the past god knows how long and she knew this was a whole bunch of baloney, Sarah Jane was right, something was up...either that or Penny was right.
"The mobilising lipase breaks up the triglycerides stored in the adipose cells..."
Right that's it! She's bored as hell.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
She strolled along the many cubicles filled with salespeople...god how she hates and pities them, they always call when you want dinner and everyone hates them for it. She slipped into a cubicle where a dark-skinned woman sat talking into a headphone.
"We deliver in three working days" the woman said as Rose leaned across the desk and held out her psychic paper.
"Rose Tyler, Health and Safety don't mind me" Rose whispered. The woman turned to face her and began to talk about Adipose in her business tone that she had being using on the headphone.
"Box comes with twenty one pills, full information pack and our free gift" the woman said passing a black box. Rose opened it to find a gold Adipose capsule pendent in side and held it up watching it swing side to side. "a Adipose Industries pendent, it's made from eighteen caret gold and its yours for free...no we don't give pens, sorry" Rose rolled her eyes, the woman was obviously doing a sale while informing Rose about Adipose talk about killing two birds with one stone. "No I can't make an exception, sorry" she hung up and smiled at Rose. "Sorry about that"
"I need to keep this for testing" Rose said holding up the pendent "and I need a full client list"
"Well I suppose so" the woman turned to the computer and typed a few codes before the client list was up. She then pressed print.
Rose stood up and looked round "so where's the printer?" she asked.
"Just across over there" the woman said as Rose sat back down. "Should be out in a minute"
Rose stood back up and glanced at the printer "has it got paper?" she asked
"Keeps it stocked" the woman assured Rose as Rose sat back down.
"Excuse me everyone, if I can have your attention" Ms Foster called as she walked down the pathway with two bald bodyguards. All the salespeople stood up. "On average you are selling 48 Adipose packs a day. It's not enough, I want 100 sales per person per a day and if not...you'll be replaced. If anyone's good at trimming the fat, it's me. Now back to it"
Rose watched over the top of the cubicle as the woman strolled along, so far the only thing Rose had found suspicious is lousy science and a snobby bossy know it all boss...she was going to kill Sarah Jane if this was all just a failed diet pill.
"Anyway, if you can just print off that list that'll be all thanks" Rose said smiling down at the woman.
"Yep just got it sent to the printer should be there" the woman said smiling back.
"Lovely, now that's all. Thank you" Rose got up only to be dragged down by the woman who passed her a piece of paper. "What's this then?"
"You seem to be a nice girl and my mate needs someone to get over his ex" the woman said "Health and Safety, you can be Health and he can be Safety"
"Oh...ah...err...sorry I got to go" Rose said practically running to the printer only to find nothing had been printed out, she ran back to the woman and peered over the edge nervously "ahah...me again"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
The door opened and a skinny man in a green sweater answered. Rose put on a huge grin. "Mr Roger Davie, I'm here on the behalf of Adipose Industries" she flashed the psychic paper at the man "I just need to ask some questions and then I'll be on my way"
"Sure come in" the man said beaming "want a coffee or something?"
"No thank you sir" Rose said politely.
The man led them into a boring brown and green living room and sat himself primly on the arm chair as Rose settled onto the sofa.
"So how long have you been on Adipose?" Rose asked.
"I've been on for two weeks now" Roger said "I lost 14 kilos"
"And that's the same amount everyday?" Rose asked in disbelieve.
"One kilo exactly, you wake up and it disappears over night" Roger said happily "well technically speaking its gone by ten past one in the morning"
"What makes you say that?" Rose asked.
"That's when I get woken up...may as well get myself weighed at the same time. If there's something driving me mad is that ten past one bang on the dot without fail the burglar alarm goes off."
"Can I see this alarm?" Rose asked.
Roger led them out side and they looked up to see the red box just above the door.
"I had experts in, I had it replaced, I even had Watch Dog in but no ten past one in the morning off it goes"
"And no burglar?" Rose asked.
"No I don't even bother looking now"
"Tell me Roger...have you got a cat flap?"
He showed her into the kitchen to the cat flap that was built in the backdoor and she leaned down and looked through it.
"It came with the house, I'm not really a cat person" Roger explained.
"No...I knew a man that hated cats...but then again when you get threatened by a cat nun you have good reason to hate them" Rose murmured to herself.
"You think a cat is coming into my house?" Roger asked ignoring what Rose just said.
"Well the thing with a cat flap they just don't let things in...They let things out as well"
"Like what?" Roger asked.
"The fat just walks away" Rose murmured, her eyes widening with realisation...the fat really does walk away.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
"Well thanks for your help" Rose said shaking Roger's hand quickly as she stepped out of the house. "Tell you what, maybe you should lay off the pills for a week or so, you don't need them now, you look great!" something began to beep "oh!" she pulled out the small device she made earlier that day and stared at it. "Got to go, sorry!" she began to run down the street to follow the signal.
She ran side to side on the street staring at the device in confusion when the signal went funny, she shook it, smacked it and then blew on it. The signal came back and she followed round the corner. She ran out into the road and jumped back as a car flew by, suddenly the device in her hand went crazy and began to run after the car but as the car began to speed up she decided to go through the alley. Suddenly the signal vanished and she ended up standing there in the alley with no lead to find what exactly was going on.
She sighed "bloody complications, oh well of to the TARDIS it is then"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
"Oh fascinating!" Rose murmured staring through the magnifying glass. ""Seems to be a bio-video stitch-" she looked up to see no one standing there. "Martha? Jack?" she whispered hoping one of them would jump out and shouts boo or surprise.
Rose they're not coming back the TARDIS said calmly you can't sit there waiting for them.
"I know I know" Rose said impatiently "but how can I just go out there and ask? How did the Doctor do it? How could he do it?"
He never really moved on, the amount of people that came on board were there on my pleading, I didn't want him alone either. Please Jack, Martha and Sarah Jane are right, you need to find someone. Hell even Donna Noble said so and she barely knew you!
"Don't you like Donna?" Rose asked remembering the Christmas before last "I thought she was nice...once you got past the gobby slap happy rudeness she had"
She would have made a fine companion, I could see all the possibilities of what she can do and I know she will be the best.
"Hang on! Can and will?" Rose said cottoning on what the TARDIS said "as in she might be coming back? As in there's a possibility...?"
Rose you know very well that I can't tell you the future and I refuse to tell you what I have seen, after all it might change.
"But Donna is coming back?" Rose asked eagerly.
Donna? Who's Donna? I never heard of a Donna...I heard of a Don, nice man and bit of a charmer.
Rose groaned she knew full and well that the TARDIS was not going to let anything slip. The TARDIS was very good at hiding things and if Rose tried anything she's most likely to never find her hairbrush for the next century. But the idea of Donna Noble in the TARDIS as a companion...someone she knew and got on well...better than having to go out there and try...
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
The next day she went once again through the back way into the Adipose offices, she then slipped into a store cupboard and used the sonic screwdriver to lock herself in, all she had to do was wait for a few hours for when the offices were empty. She pulled out a magazine and leant against the door as she read, could have been worse; she could have been locked in a dungeon cell naked.
It was ten past six when she slipped out, rolling her neck and stretching both her arms and legs, god she hated cupboards. She snuck up the stairs and got onto the roof where she ran across and climbed a ladder into the window cleaner box and then she got it moving down slowly. She stopped the box just outside of Ms Foster's office and ducked when the doors were flung open. She pulled out the stethoscope from her pocket and put it on, placing the metal bit onto the window to listen in on the conversation.
"Sit there" Ms Foster said.
"I'm phoning my editor" ah...Penny the reporter.
"I said sit"
"You can't tie me up! What sort of country do you think it is?"
"Oh it's a beautifully fat country and believe me I have travelled a long way to find obesity on this scale"
"Well go on then Ms Foster, those pills...what are they?"
"Well you might as well have the scope since you'll never see it printed. This...is the spark of life"
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Officially the capsule attracts all the fat cells and flushes them away. Well it certainly attracts, that part is true...but it binds the fat together and garthanise it to make a body"
"Well what do you mean? A body?"
"I am surprised that you didn't ask about my name, I chose it well. Foster as in Foster Mother and these are my children"
"Are you kidding me? What the hell is that?"
Rose slowly stood up to peer into the window.
"Adipose, it's called an Adipose"
Rose yanked of the stethoscope and saw the reporter tied to a chair, the two guards standing there gormlessly, Ms Foster walking towards the reporter and the most adorable little whit creature cooing on the desk. Rose moved her eyes and caught a flash of red hair, she moved them before going back and her eyes settled on a woman standing behind the door at the exact time the woman's eyes landed on her.
The woman's mouth dropped unattractively.
"Donna?" Rose whispered.
"Rose!" Donna mouthed.
"Wha...how?" Rose asked, oh the TARDIS is a sneaky cow, she knew didn't she?
"Oh my god!" Donna mouthed.
"How?" Rose asked wanting to know why Donna was there of all places.
"It's me!" Donna mouthed pointing to herself.
Rose rolled her eyes "yeah I can see that" she said pointing to her eyes and then at Donna who looked ecstatic.
"Oh this is brilliant!" Donna mouthed giving Rose two thumbs up.
"What the hell are you doing there?" Rose demanded pointing at Donna.
"I was looking for you!" Donna mouthed.
"What for?" Rose asked feeling a bit confused, she had the distinct impression that she had scared Donna, what the hell had changed?
Donna then began an elaborated mime that Rose didn't get at all when she suddenly stopped to stare at something in the room with a sheepish look. Rose then turned to see Ms Foster staring at them.
"Are we interrupting you?" Ms Foster asked.
"RUN!" Rose shouted and watched Donna run off, she yanked the sonic screwdriver out and locked the office door before using the sonic screwdriver to go up to the roof fast. She practically jumped down the ladder and then ran across the roof and down to the stairs, half-way down she bumped into Donna.
The hugged tightly "oh my god!" Donna gasped pulling away "look at you! You got rid of the peroxide look, that dark blonde suits you! Like the leather jacket as well"
"Thanks but now's not the best time to be swapping fashion tips" Rose said looking over the stairs to see the two guards. "Just like old times yeah?"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose used the sonic screwdriver to lock the door and began to run to the window cleaner box.
"...so I thought I had to find Rose, so then I thought I'll look for trouble and she'll turn up! So I looked everywhere, UFO sightings, crop sightings, monster you name it. Oh and the bees are disappearing and I thought that's connected. Because the thing is Rose I believe it all now, you opened my eyes and I see amazing things and believe it all...well except the replica of the Titanic flying over Buckingham Palace that's got to be a hoax"
"So it was you Sarah Jane was talking about? The one searching for me, thank god I was worried about having another LYNDA gang on my tail...what do you mean the Titanic was a hoax? I was on that! Hang on the bees are disappearing, why are the bees disappearing?" Rose asked as she climbed into the box.
"I don't know!" Donna exclaimed excitedly "but on the site there was all this conspiracy theories on Adipose Industries and I thought lets take a look"
"Come on!" Rose said over her shoulder.
"What in that thing?"
"Yes in that thing, would you like to attempt a bungee jump instead?"
"But if we go in that thing, they'll just pull us back up again"
"I used the sonic screwdriver on the controls so I'm the only one who can control it" Rose said assuring Donna who was now climbing up the ladder. "Unless she has a sonic device of her own, which is very unlikely"
The box went down slowly when suddenly a spark hit and they sped down, the pair squealed as they clung to the sides of the box. Rose managed to get hold of her sonic screwdriver and pointed at the controls stopping the box as both she and Donna fell to their knees.
"Hold on, hold on we can get through the window" Rose said using the sonic screwdriver onto the window. "I can't get it open!"
Donna bent down and picked up a spanner "smash it then!" she shouted banging the window with the spanner, Rose joined in with her fist though it didn't seem to be working. Donna then looked up "cutting the cable!" she shouted.
Rose looked up in time to see the cable snap, suddenly the box fell to the side and Donna fell out grabbing hold onto the cable kicking and screaming "DONNA!" Rose shouted.
"HELP ME!" Donna screamed.
"HOLD ON!" Rose called down.
"I AM!" Rose grabbed hold of the cable when she saw Ms Foster from the corner of her eye walking across towards the other cable. "ROSE!" Rose crawled across the box and grabbed hold of the other cable, point her sonic screwdriver to Ms Foster's hand and pressed down hard. Ms Foster dropped the sonic device she was using which Rose arched back and caught, Rose then put the sonic pen into her mouth and began to climb up the cable. She got herself onto the window ledge and used the sonic devices on it.
"I'M GOING TO FALL!" Donna screamed her voice getting hoarse. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME!"
Rose managed to get the window open and she slipped a leg in "I WON'T BE A MINUTE" she called down to Donna. She then climbed in and landed neatly on her feet and ran as fast as she could down the stairs and into Ms Foster's office. She ran to the window and pulled out her sonic screwdriver.
"Is anyone going to tell me what's going on?" Penny asked looking annoyed.
"Are you a journalist?" Rose asked.
"Yes!"
"Well make it up!" Rose got the window open and grabbed hold of Donna's legs.
"GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF!" Donna screamed kicking her feet.
"I GOT YOU!" Rose shouted looking away not wanting to receive a kick in the face. "I GOT YOU!" she managed to get Donna to stop kicking and began to pull her in through the window.
Donna pulled away from Rose and tugged her suit jacket down "I was right, it's always like this with you isn't it?"
"Oh yes and off we go!" Rose said before running out of the office, Donna hot on her heels.
"Oi!" Penny shouted.
Rose ran back in and used the sonic screwdriver to untie Penny "now do yourself the favour and get out"
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose and Donna stood at one end of the office while Ms Foster and her two goons stood on the other end. Rose and Donna were panting slightly while Ms Foster stood there calmly and her goons emotionlessly.
"Well then" Ms Foster said pulling her glasses off "at last"
"Hi!" Donna said nervously holding a hand up in a wave.
"Nice to meet you" Rose said cheerfully "I'm Rose"
"And I'm Donna" Donna said.
"Partners in crime and evidentially off worlders judging from your sonic device"
"Oh yes, I still got your sonic pen" Rose said pulling out the pen from her pocket "its nice, sophisticated, sleek definitely sleek" Rose showed it to Donna who looked at it.
"Definitely sleek" Donna agreed.
"If you were to sign your real name that'll be...?" Rose said.
Ms Foster pulled on her glasses and stared at them "Matron Cofelia five class Indian nursery fleet – intergalactic class"
"A wet nurse...using you as a surrogate"
"I've been hired by the Adiposeuim first family to foster a new generation after their breeding planet got lost"
"What do you mean lost?" Rose asked frowning "who loses a whole planet?"
"Oh politics is none of my concern" the woman said dismissively "I'm just here to take care of the children for the parents"
"What like an out of space supper nanny?" Donna asked incredulously.
"Yes if you like" Matron Cofelia said beaming at the idea.
"So those things they're made out of fat yeah? Well that Stacey Camball, there was nothing left of her" Donna said.
"Oh in a crisis Adipose can turn hair, bone and internal organs, makes them a little bit sick the poor things" Matron Cofelia said pouting slightly.
"What about poor Stacey!" Donna gasped.
"Seeding another planet is against galactic law" Rose said flatly.
"Are you threatening me?" Matron Cofelia asked narrowing her eyes at Rose.
"I'm trying to help you Matron" Rose said "this is your last chance because if you don't call this off then I'm going to have to stop you"
"I hardly think you can stop this" Matron Cofelia said as her goon took the safety of their guns and held them up, aiming at the two girls.
"Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! One more thing before the whole dying thing...do you know what happens when you hold two identical sonic devices together?" Rose asked holding the screwdriver and pen up.
"This is hardly the time to be comparing toys!" Donna hissed.
"No" Matron Cofelia said flatly.
"Nor me! Lets find out" Rose then pressed the buttons as she held them together causing a loud high pitched noise that made Matron Cofelia and her goons (and Donna) block their ears. The glass smashed and the Matron and her goons screamed painfully.
Donna then pushed Rose "come on!" causing her to let go and the pair ran off.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose led Donna to the cupboard she had been hiding in and began to throw everything out.
"Well that's one solution, hiding in a cupboard, I like it" Donna said.
"Hack into this thing, the Matron has a computer call" Rose said sliding the wall to the side to reveal a large alien like thing in green light. "Wired to the whole building, triple deadlocked but now I got this!" Rose pulled out the sonic pen. "and I can get into it, she wired up the whole building" Rose said again pulling out a thick wire "we need a bit of privacy" she held two wires together causing a little blue electric current, she then let go. "That should stop them, she wired up the whole tower block. But what is it all for?"
"You look older" Donna said quietly as Rose began to work.
"Thanks" Rose muttered.
"Still on your own?"
"Yep, well no I had a friend called Martha, Martha Jones she was brilliant and I destroyed her whole life but she's fine. And I spent some time with two old friends called Sarah Jane and Jack but then I sort of ruined it with Jack and Sarah Jane thought it was time for me to not sleep on her sofa"
"What about the Doctor bloke?" Donna whispered.
Rose felt her throat clog up and she swallowed "still lost" she whispered. She had to change the subject; she didn't want to tell Donna about the year that wasn't. "Thought you were going to travel the world?"
Donna snorted "easier said than done. It's like I had that one day with you and I was going to change, I was going to do so much. And then I woke up the next morning and same old life. Its like you were never there...and I tried, I did try, I went to Egypt but it was just guidebooks and two weeks later I was back home. I went mad trying to get hold of you...I found this diary in the attic, the Diary of an Impossible Girl and I learnt so much about you"
Rose looked up from her work "I wrote that...when I wasn't myself, bit hard to explain I'll tell you the story later. I was going to offer"
"To come with you?"
Rose blinked "you want to come with me?"
"Oh yes please" Donna said grinning.
"All right then" Donna flung her arms round Rose causing her to take a step back when a electronic voice got their attention.
"Inducer activated"
"She started the programme" Rose said panicked.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
With Donna's help and the help the golden pendants they managed to save the people before the Adipose started to convert the skeletons and organs. Then they heard a loud noise which had to be the ship for the Adipose, Rose heard the instructions coming from the ship and her eyes widened as she ran off to the roof with Donna behind her.
"What are you going to do then?" Donna asked "blow them up?"
"They're children! They can't help where they come from" Rose said glaring at Donna.
"Oh that makes a change from last time" Donna said "that Martha, Jack and Sarah Jane must have done you good"
"They did, Martha and Sarah Jane were good friends. Jack's like a brother to me...a brother that wants to get in everyone's pants"
"Hand him to me and I'll set him straight" Donna said.
"I might just do that, I mentioned you to him said you'll probably eat him alive"
The two woman glanced at each other and laughed. The Adipose cooed and waved at them, one of them winking. The pair waved back.
"I'm waving at fat" Donna said in disbelieve.
"Actually as a diet plan it sort of works" Rose said, she then spotted Matron Cofelia "there she is!" and the two of them ran to the edge. "Matron Cofelia, please listen to me"
"Oh I don't think so Rose" the woman said calmly "and if I never see you again it would be too soon"
"Oh why do they never listen?" Rose asked "can you shift the levitation field over here"
"And let you arrest me?"
"Listen I heard the Adiposeuim instructions, they know it's a crime to breed on Earth so who do they want to get rid off? Their accomplice"
"I'm far more than that, I'm Nanny to all of these children" Matron Cofelia raised her arms out.
"Exactly! Mum and Dad have the kids now they don't need the Nanny anymore"
Suddenly the levitation field cut off and Matron Cofelia fell with a scream. Donna buried her head into Rose not wanting to watch and Rose closed her eyes, wincing when she heard the splat of Matron Cofelia's body hitting the ground. The pair looked up to see the ship fly off, the Adipose waving through the window.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Rose chucked the sonic pen into the bin when Penny came up to them still tied to the chair.
"You two are mad" she said "and I'm going to report you for-for MADNESS!" she then stalked off with the chair tied firmly to her bottom.
"See some people just can't take it" Donna said sighing.
"Nope" Rose agreed.
"And some people can! So then TARDIS come on!" Donna snatched up Rose's hand and began to drag her away. Rose ran after her laughing, she could get use to this.
They walked past a blue car.
"That's my car!" Donna exclaimed "that is like destiny and I'm ready for this" she opened the boot up "I packed ages ago just in case because I thought, hot weather, cold weather, no weather, it goes anywhere, I got to be prepared" she started to pull out three large suitcases and a hat box.
"You got a hat box" Rose said her eyes wide.
"Planets of the hats, I'm ready!"
"I didn't even pack this much!" Rose cried out "honestly Donna all you need is a rucksack with the essentials"
"I don't need any injections do I?" Donna asked leaning against the door of the TARDIS as Rose held the hat box and one of the suitcases. Rose looked depressed and Donna's grin fell "you're not saying much"
"Are you sure you want to come with me?" Rose asked quietly.
"Yes! Why don't you want me? Would you rather be left alone?"
"NO! No, it's just...with Martha it got complicated and it was my fault. Martha's whole family were in danger and I don't want to put you in that situation...I just want a mate"
"You want to MATE!" Donna squawked "well you're not mating with me SUNSHINE! I don't swing that way!"
"No, no, no, no I meant I just want a friend, a mate, a Bessie, funnily enough I don't swing that way either"
"Thank god for that because I don't do that! Woman or aliens!"
"There we are then, ok?" Rose said.
"I can come?" Donna asked.
"YES! Of course you can, I was just warning you, I didn't want you to get hurt"
Donna laughed and ran up to give Rose a hug but then froze. "Car keys" she said to herself pulling out a set of keys.
"What?" Rose asked feeling confused.
"I still got my Mum's car keys, won't be a minute" Donna ran round Rose and out of the alley. Rose groaned when she saw the gigantic pile of Donna's possessions and began to pick them up and get them inside of the TARDIS.
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
He stood there with his hands in his pockets watching the police clear the blonde woman's body, he shuddered at the thought that he might have been Rose but he had spotted her running down an alley with a redhead, he was so tempted to go after her...but he made a promise to Jackie and Mickey to come back with a report and if he broke that then Jackie will hunt him down and flay him alive and he really doesn't need that.
"Listen, listen" some said to him pulling him round to face them, it was the redhead he saw Rose with. "there's this tall blonde woman called Sylvia when you see her tell her that bin there, all right? That bin there it'll make sense to her, thanks"
He watched her run off before he turned round to face the crime scene, he sighed deeply and closed his eyes enjoying the feeling of this Earth which was so much slower than the other, which had Rose in it and the TARDIS and the crazy redhead. He then turned round and began to walk down the street, feeling himself fade away.
