Rose woke up the next morning, not really knowing what was going on and where she was. Then it all came flooding back, she was in London. Her London, and in a hotel, she really had to get a place, that was the whole point of coming to this Universe. Moving on, brand new life. No Doctor, no Human Doctor and no TARDIS, new life.

There was always one person she knew she could go to now, yes she may have been part of her old life, but she was the only person she could rely on right now. Shareen.

Bravely, Rose made her way back to the Powell Estate where she once grew up, she hadn't been here in so long, back when her and The..

"Stop!" she whispered to herself and continued walking towards Shareen's old flat, hoping she still lived there and she bravely knocked on the door and took a step back as she heard footsteps walking towards the door, and she held her breath slightly as she could feel her heart pounding beneath her chest. Finally, after what seemed like a lifetime, a familiar face answered the door, she was wearing baggy jeans, a white vest top and a plan black, worn out hoody. Her hair was a dark shade of blonde, nearly brown.

"Rose?" she whispered as she took in the sight of who was in front of her and blinked several times, as if she were imagining things.

"Um, yeah." Rose smiled and gasped as two strong arms were wrapped around her neck, hugging and squeezing her tightly.

"I thought you were dead!" she cried and Rose cursed under her breath. She had forgotten all about that, she was officially dead on this world; her body was never found of course, so they registered as dead after the battle of Canary Wharf.

"Um, yeah, sorry, been away," she stuttered as she made an excuse up on the spot.

"But where've you been?" Shareen demanded as she let Rose go and looked her in the eye "You just went missing after that battle with the metal things, nowhere to seen, nor ya Mum, we thought you were dead!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't realise," she lied "I've been away, America." She blurted out and winced as she said it.

"America?" Shareen asked and dragged her inside the flat "tell me all about it! I need to know where the hell you've been!" she cried and shoved her in to the flat for what only Rose could assume, was going to be a long and painful chat about where she had been, and a conversation full of lies that Rose would have to make on the spot.

"So, I told him 'Forget it'," Shareen rambled on as Rose simply stared in to her now cold cup of tea and attempted to listen to what Shareen was saying, but she couldn't concentrate enough, her mind just ocntinuted wandering, wandering back to that day, on how it was her fault, if he had never been on the mission, which she had allowed him to go on, he would still be here, she wouldn't be feeling the pain she was feeling right now, she wouldn't have the memory of the blood and screams of pain running through her head "Rose!" Shareen yelled, trying to get Rose's attention and out of her daze.

"Yeah?" Rose asked, snapping out of her dream and back in to reality.

"How long've you been back?" Shareen asked and started laughing at Rose's confused face.

"Um, only yesterday." She smiled as Shareen took away their mugs.

"You should have come round, I've got the room, Mum moved away so it's just me now!" she yelled through the door of the kitchen and living room.

"Hmm," rose murmured and didn't really pay attention to what she was saying.

"You stay here if you want?" Shareen asked and Rose simply yelled back a small and quiet 'yes and thanks' and woke up as her phone began to ring. How was this ringing? She didn't know anyone with this number. Ignoring this, Rose answered the phone anyway.

"Hello?" she answered, awaiting the other voice on the line.

"Rose? Hi it's John." The voice on the other line replied "just wanted to see how you are. You alright? I hope you're alright, that wouldn't be good if you're not alright." He rambled and Rose smiled to herself.

"Um, yes I am alright, how did you get my number?" she asked.

"Oh right, well, funny story," he began "I have this friend, in the police, can track down any mobile number, he's very clever like that, and I asked him to do me a favour, he owed me a favour, so I asked him to find me your number and he did. Voila! Blimey, I'm nearly running out of breath!"

"Right," Rose whispered "So, why did you ring?" she asked, trying to be casual as Shareen walked in to the room.

"What ever happened to that bloke with the police box," she began, then realised Rose was on the phone 'never mind' she mouthed and turned on the TV.

"Well, I enjoyed our chat and drinks last night," he began rambling "and I wondered if I could meet you again, have more fun, more drinks, more chat, I like chatting, chatting is fun, there's always something to chat about!"

"OK, um, where are you?" she asked

"No, no, no, I'll come to you, where are ya?" he asked and whizzed around the TARDIS, pressing buttons and other random things.

"Um, the Powel Estate, I've got a friend that lives 'ere," she explained and there was silence on the other line "Hello?"

"Powell estate! I'll be there!"

"Him, this is Shareen," Rose introduced as the Doctor arrived "This is John, John Smith," Rose smiled.

"John Smith, wasn't that the name of-"

"Never mind," Rose interrupted her.

"John Smith, nice to meet ya, heard a lot about you." He smiled.

"Really?"

"Um, well, no, that was a lie, I haven't heard anything about you actually, that was a lie, thought it'd be nice to say." He stuttered, only to receive strange looks from Shareen.

"Riiightt." Shareen said and allowed him in "Cup of tea?" she asked.

"Perfect!" he smiled and followed her in to the flat. This was not a good idea, the Doctor thought as he walked through the flat. not very good at all.
