I am so sorry about how long this took. My school life has been a nightmare and my job has taken over my life. On the bright side, I spent about hours finishing the Eleventh Hour. I wish I could make a promise for regular updates, but I'm afraid I can't. Just know I love this piece and will do everything I can to write it up as quickly and to the best of my ability.
That being said, I feel this is the weakest of my chapters, but am very proud of the next couple so bear with this one please.
Chp. 4: Rumors and Fiancés
Amy looked between the two. It was like the world had been put on pause and narrowed its focus to only the other. This was not acceptable. "Oi! What does this mean?" Amy cried. Both the Doctor and Rose started for a moment both looking vaguely confused about why there were other people around.
"Rose," Alex Burke said, "What is going on? Who is he?"
Rose looked at Alex sighing slightly "Sorry, Alex, but this is my fiancé John Smith."
The Doctors heart leapt for a moment, at hearing her call him her fiancée, but this was shoved aside by confusion. "Wait a minute, I thought Amelia said that you were engaged and missing, also how long has it been, she told me a few months."
Amy winced as the confused Doctor had outted her admittedly cruel and childish plan. Rose looked at Amy shocked and hurt making her wince all the more. "Amy, I think you'll have to explain everything later, don't think you're getting out of this. Doctor, I'm not engaged, I met this man for an arranged date today by a pushy neighbor, and it's been twelve years, not a few months," Rose said quickly but distinctly.
"Twelve years?" the Doctor cried, feeling slightly sick.
"Yes, Doctor. You're lucky you found us. I would have to move soon because of the Bad Wolf. Also, this is by far your worst time slip up ever. That includes the one on taking me home to my mum," Rose teased smiling at him.
"I have no clue what is going on, but it seems to me that I'm just in the way here. Rose it was very nice to meet you, and should you ever feel like dumping this man for someone sane let me know," Alex Burke said handing a card to Rose before walking away. The Doctor looked like he had the urge to give him to the Daleks. But the sound of the recording burst thru his thoughts. He grabbed Rose's hand and pulled her to the nearest house.
"Come on Rose! I need to check something!" The Doctor said. Rose followed with a happy smile that Amy hadn't seen since he had left. Amy followed with a sick feeling in her stomach.
The Doctor was examining the TV and other electronic devices that kept emitting the weird phrase. Meanwhile the old lady seemed to be having kittens in delight. "This is him isn't it? The raggedy Doctor! Your missing intended! Isn't it Rose! After all these years! I never thought I'd see him! I thought for sure he was dead or had left but it seems he's here isn't he!" Trying to ignore the feeling of guilt of having left both Amy and Rose alone for such a long amount of time he went to work. Leaving him with a bad answer.
Rose knew what would come next. Mrs. Kravitz was a nice but a gossiply old lady, who would telephone everyone she knew as quickly as possible about the latest development in Rose's love life. Rose would have groaned but was cheered up by the thought that she would leave with the Doctor once this case was up. So no having to deal with the aftermath.
As the Doctor began running through his thought process, a new lad walked in. He was buff around Amy's age, who immediately blushed when Rose smiled and said "Hi Jeff."
Eyeing up 'Jeff' (and honestly what sort of man is named Jeff?) He told them the conclusion. They had twenty minutes until the end of the world. Twenty minutes before the Earth was to explode.
They were walking around. The Doctor trying to pull resources. "Great the end of the world in twenty minutes and I have a Post Office. And it's closed!"
Amy was quite convinced the Doctor was mad. Besides talking randomly about a Duck Pond with no ducks, he seemed to like hitting himself. Watching him fly around like a mad butterfly gave Amy the great urge to grab his tie and lock it in a car door. Only Rose gave her peace. Actually Rose seemed to be able to follow his mad rant, often giving Amy cliff notes.
Rory, as can be expected, went into a mini shock as the Doctor asked him about taking pictures on a phone. "But it can't be him! He's dead, or off with some harlot in New York!" Rose, took control from there, trying to spare the Doctor from hearing the rumors about him, and in a second Rory was answering the Doctor's question.
The floating eye in crystal was definitely new to Rose and Amy. But as the sonic exploded Rose made a little noise of distress. She had always loved that thing, though not as much as the Doctor.
It was decided that they needed to split up. The Doctor toward Jeff to get the laptop and Amy, Rose, and Rory to find prisoner zero at the hospital.
When the doctor did arrive at the Jeff's he found the boy looking at pictures of Rose on the computer. After giving him a look that came very close to the Oncoming Storm he just said quietly "I understand your attraction, but DON'T EVER degrade Rose like this again. Understand?" The boy shook slightly at the look and nodded. After sending the virus, and most importantly deleting the images of Rose on the laptop. He actually left Jeff to convince the world he was the best choice. It wasn't ideal, but he needed to get back to Rose.
Believe it or not but studies show the more love I get from reviewers the quicker a chapter comes out. So feed the monster. Help with my addiction. Review.
