Thank you BananaDaiquiri for being a consistent reviewer - I love reviews :)

Also OMG My Library's On Fire I'm glad someone spotted my little slip up in chapter 5 (I kind of forgot Ianto's name and had a gap filler...as you can see) - I'm glad someone's paying attention.

1 review for the last chapter...but I'm posting this anyway because that's just the kind of nice person I am.

I don't own Doctor Who or a flash light.

Rose and Jack spun around looking sheepish, "Sorry." They muttered together.

Rose glanced at Jack and then moved over to Cal, giving him a hug, "It was very nice to meet you." She said stepping back "I hope we see you again."

Cal beamed at her and accepted the hand Jack was holding out and shaking it, "It was very nice to meet you Rose Tyler, and it was good to see you again Jack."

Jack smirked as he pulled back his hand, "Always an after thought around the mysterious and alluring Rose Tyler." He said sadly shaking his head. Rose elbowed him in the side and Jack mockingly fell to his knees "Felled in one swoop, the great Captain Jack Harkness."

"Is that what you want it to say on your tomb stone?" Rose queried with a grin.

"More like: here lies Capt'n Jack Harkness crusader of weevils." Cal retorted.

Rose spoke over Jack's protesting noises, "Someone must show me a bloody weevil and soon." She said stubbornly "You all keep going on about them. I feel left out." She pouted.

Jack got off the ground, his eyes twinkling, "Honey, when I get you home the first thing I'll show you is a weevil, okay? We've got a couple in the back, you know for emergencies."

"Emergencies? What? You get them to run a generator for in you in a blackout?" Cal asked sarcastically.

"Running on wheels like hamsters." Rose added. Jack and Cal laughed at the mental picture in their heads while she rolled her eyes. She pulled her phone out and turned it on again, waiting for it to work out whether she had any missed calls or messages waiting for her. It beeped, "Oh…Mickey called." She muttered. She looked at Jack, "Did you call the team and let them know what was going on?" she asked.

"I called Gwen and Ianto about half an hour ago." He answered.

"And just assumed they'd tell the other two?" Rose asked surprised. She blinked, "Three, the other three. The Doctor hasn't been able to get in contact with me for… we're lucky he hasn't brought the Tardis here." She sighed, "We need to go. Now. Sorry Cal, it's been lovely." She apologised climbing into pilot-seat of the helicopter.

"It has been lovely. But Rose's right, we don't get back soon the Doctor will swoop in…and it won't be pretty." Jack drawled. He looked at Cal as he walked around to the other side to climb in "He kind of needs her." He explained with a shrug and a grin. Cal shook his head at them for the umpteenth time, standing back as they took off, waving them off.

Jack looked down at the ground, "So, how many hours have you had practise?" he asked delicately as he checked out the controls and made sure no danger lights were blinking.

Rose took one hand off steering the craft to cover Jack's eyes, "Stop checking up on me. I've had over two thousand hours, all right. So calm yourself." She removed her hand from Jack and went back to setting their course for Cardiff. "You, sir are a big sook when you're not in control. The Doctor's the same." She sighed.

"S'alright Rose I trust you not to crush us into the ground, where upon we'd probably blow up…which wouldn't be pleasant. Then I'd come round and have to collect the pieces of you…and Rose believe me when someone blows up there are a lot of pieces!" Jack murmured. He ducked and started laughing as she hit him upside the head.

Circling the airfield one waiting figure was easily recognisable, arms crossed over his trench looking up at them. "Well, someone looks happy to see us." Jack laughed. Rose bit her lip and landed the craft ten metres from where the Doctor stood.

He didn't move as he scrutinised them through the windscreen, Rose gave Jack a sideways glance, "Perhaps we should have called?" she said flicking the rest of the systems off and letting the engine finally die.

Jack patted her knee, "Maybe you should have." He pursed his lips, "Well, I'm not getting out first." He added quickly, crossing his arms firmly over his chest.

Rose glared at him pulling off her seatbelt, "Coward." She opened the door and climbed out, carefully avoiding looking directly at the man she was walking towards. She stopped a metre in front of him and crossed her arms, looking at him sternly. "So…you miss me?"

"Maybe." He said not changing his expression. "You were gone a while." He remarked slowly.

Rose smirked and her body relaxed, "Well, we had to make a stop over at that hotel on the way back, you know how I like a man in uniform." She glanced at the helicopter, "You know he's refusing to come out, right?" she rolled her eyes, "I thought about pointing out how suspicious that looks, then thought why bother?" she said gesturing with her hands.

The Doctor looked down at her grimly and Rose grinned, "I was joking about the hotel."

"I know that." He muttered.

"Course you did." She opened her arms, "Do I get a hug?" The Doctor regarded her for a moment before sweeping her into arms, resting his chin on her shoulder and wrapping his arms firmly around her waist.

"Oooh." She groaned as he lifted her off the ground a little, "Well, I guess I missed you too." She said hugging him hard.

The Doctor put her down gently and smoothed back some of her hair, "So who's this Cal, then?" he asked casually. Rose giggled and looked behind her to Jack who'd finally left the safety of the helicopter.

Jack hearing the question decided to answer for Rose, "Oh, just this handsome Irishman I know…keeps the rare and the weird from running loose all over Wales. Great guy." He smirked, "Actually those two seemed to get on really well, he took Rosie on a little tour."

Rose gave him an insincere smile, "Gee, thanks Jack."

"I see you haven't lost any of your ability to find an attractive man to trail along behind you." The Doctor muttered.

"Hey!" Rose defended, "Have the two of you forgotten that's how I found Jack." She said giving him a little shove.

"And look how good that's turned out." The Doctor said sarcastically. Rose burst into giggles at Jack's face.

"Oi!" Jack said having a finger at both of them, "I was working a con."

"Yes, how reputable of you to be running a scam in the middle of a war. Rose can really pick 'em."

"Yeh, she can." Rose said sternly glaring at both of them.

So it's a tiny chapter.... Tell me what you think.

Next time: Martha makes a reappearance and she and Rose actually have a short conversation before Jack and the Doctor wander in.
