Chapter 3:

Rose had been awake for the past hour and was sorting herself out. She had taken a bath and a shower and had just finished doing her make up. She couldn't quite believe how bad a start this adventure had had but as she sat there staring in front of her dressing room's mirror she could help but think about how close she and the Doctor had become. Both literally and mentally. She was fairly certain now that he did harbour feelings for her but now came the difficult bit. How much does he like her? Is it more of a fleeting crush that will soon diminish only to return into a strong friendship?

Rose visibly shivered. She didn't think her heart could handle such torment.

Once again she was back to her two possible options. She should either lock up her feelings for him and assume that he will soon lose interest in her as he did with most of his previous companions and try her best not to let on just how deeply she cares for him. Or she could go all out.

Rose lifted her head and looked directly at herself. Could she do it? I am brave enough? Am I that confident that the Doctor has strong feelings for me? She remained like that for a very long time. Gazing at her reflection but seeing into her soul. She was so wrapped up in her own issues that she didn't notice the figure standing just outside her room looking in.

The Doctor was confused. Rose was just sitting there. Fully dressed and what should have been "Raring to go". But she wasn't. All he could see was her back facing her mirror and because of the angle he was looking in at, all he could see was half her face.

She looked lost, confused, as if her soul had gone astray and all that was left was a beautiful shell, but what really killed the Doctor was one simple question.

Did I do this to her?

No. She needs me right now and I need to prove to her just how much I need her. I won't blame myself for this. I won't blame myself for something I consider to be one of the greatest gifts I have been given in all my lives.

With that the Doctor strode in and stood behind her. Rose was still in her trance. He stooped low on his right knee and whispered in her ear, "Rose."

From the sensation of warm air on her left bare shoulder Rose quickly snapped her eyes back into focus and saw him crouched right behind her.

She grinned, for two reasons. One because of the look of worry written all over his face, and two because of the image that her mirror portrayed for her. An image of just her and him. The way it should be.

"Heya" She smiled as she turned around and looked at him directly in his eyes.

"Rose –" was all he managed to get in before she cut in with that brilliant smile of hers.

"So…" she said as she prolonged her vowel sound to emphasis the reason for them waiting around. "Let's go and explore this planet then! What was it called? Ah yea! Forick! One of the most beautiful planets in this galaxy I believe is what you said!"

He wasn't fooled, he knew that she was hiding something from him and it hurt him that she didn't confide in him. He thought they were close, close enough to share their problems and offer a shoulder to cry on. No matter, let's just do what we do best. He too was now grinning as he grabbed her hand and pulled her down the corridor at high speed.

Living our lives to the max.

With that they stepped out into the surroundings of Forick thinking of what possible adventure awaits them now!

END OF CHAPTER 3

Hmm this was much shorter than intended but I will try to update faster and extend the chapter length of the following chapters to make up for the length of this one! Infact if im correct, the next chapter is really long! So if I do update later than usual, it's because I'm busy finishing it up!

I seriously hope your still enjoying this! Your reviews are really motivating me and I am taking on board your thoughts and ideas you have messaged to me! So I'm just going to take this opportunity again to thank you all because every single review means just that better a chapter for next week. By knowing what you like I can alter my style to suit you. Obviously I'm not going to change the way I write (for those of you who read my previous fiction A Blast from the Past you will notice a very similar structure of dialogue and presentation), but reviews really will influence the way I write and before I know it my writing style will have improved hopefully!

Please do take some time to review this chapter even though it is quite short! Thank you very much!
