Here's chapter 2. This chapter contains all my own ideas about heaven. As I'm sure you know, no one knows for sure what it's like. A big thank you to Scout Girl and Sarah for your reviews.

Rose opened her eyes and tried to make sense of what had happened.

"I was, now I'm, oh my god," said Rose. It was only now that she sat up and had a look around. The clouds, the singing, the smell of flowers, it all pointed to one thing.

"I'm … dead," Rose whispered. She took a moment to register this. She had always considered her farewell to the Doctor as an emotional death, but now she was physically dead. Just then a piece of paper fell to her from the sky. She picked it up and read it.

Welcome to Heaven! it read. For all proper introductions and information, simply think of the environment you're most comfortable in and declare "I'm ready!".

"Right," said Rose. She smiled to herself as she thought of her room in the TARDIS. She then took a deep breath.

"I'm ready!" she exclaimed. At first she thought nothing had happened, but as she looked around she realised she was now in fact in her room. And sitting on her bed was a young man with golden hair.

"Hello Rose," he said. "My name is Nathaniel. I'm here to make sure know everything that's going on." Rose nodded, her mouth open slightly.

"I know, it must be a shock," Nathaniel said.

"Well, yeah," said Rose. "It's just, I've seen the end of the Earth. I've faced Daleks, Cybermen, Slitheen. Then after less than a year in the parallel universe it all ended in a dark alley at night. It's so cliché." Nathaniel laughed.

"Good on you Rose," he said. "Not many people take their death so easily. But of course, this is the second time you've died, isn't it?"

"Yes," said Rose. "Which reminds me, if there are parallel universes are their parallel heavens?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer that," Nathaniel replied. "The universe, or universes for that matter, work in mysterious ways. But this is the Heaven of the universe you were born in, the one you belong to."

"I understand," Rose said. "So, why did I have to think of an environment I'm comfortable in?"

"Well, that environment is now your room," Nathaniel explained. "You can change it at any time, of course. And you can add accessories of any sort."

"I thought God was against material possessions," Rose said.

"Er, it depends," said Nathaniel. "And I don't want to go into all that right now."

"Okay," said Rose. "So how do people spend their time here?"

"Any way they want, as long as it doesn't involve sinning," Nathaniel said. "Which reminds me, try not to us the Lord's name in vain too often."

"Oh, sorry," said Rose, remembering what she said earlier.

"It's okay, it's a habit, he'll understand," Nathaniel said. "Getting back on topic, you control the environment for yourself. If you want it to be day, it's day. But for those people who want it to be night, it's night for them. You won't need to sleep, unless you want to. Some people like sleeping."

"Right," said Rose. "How do I see other people?"

"You use the directory," answered Nathaniel. "Simply think of the person, picture them in your mind. Then their location will appear to you. You can transport yourself to them any way you wish. Immediate teleport, flying, just plain old walking, you'll get there eventually. If they're in their room you'll appear outside their door. Oh, and speaking of doors, outside your door, or any room's door for that matter, is the main hall. A good place to socialise, watch the sport, but not everyone will be going for the same team remember, and there's a list posted of all the people that have died in the past 24 hours. It's updated roughly every 5 minutes."

"Okay," Rose said. "Well, I think that's all I need to know for now."

"Great," said Nathaniel, standing up. "Whenever you're ready, come out and meet some people. It'll all sound like English to you, just like with the TARDIS. And if you want anything, just wish for it!" Before Rose could say anything, Nathaniel had vanished.

"Wow," she said. "Okay, I want … chips!" A bucket of Rose's favourite chips appeared in her hand.

"Neat," she said. "Now I can eat all the chips I want!"

After eating her chips, Rose went outside. The main hall was very crowded, but somehow no one got in each other's way. Suddenly an old lady approached Rose. Rose recognised her from somewhere, but she couldn't think where.

"Hello dear," she said. "Oh, you poor thing, dying young."

"Thank you," said Rose. "You seemed to do all right for yourself."

"Yes, 86," the woman said proudly. "And considering the life expectancy in the 1860s wasn't very high, it was quite an achievement."

"Yes indeed," agreed Rose. "Wait a minute. 1860s? Um, did you die in 1869?"

"Yes," confirmed the woman. "Mind you, there was a bit of a problem. My body was possessed by …"

"The Gelth," finished Rose. "Um, I was there. I helped to close the rift." The woman opened her mouth.

"Oh yes, I thought I knew you from somewhere," she said. "I was watching what was happening. You're … Rose Tyler!"

"Indeed I am," said Rose. The woman smiled and gave Rose a hug.

"Oh, you were so brave," she said. "Say, have you met my grandson? He's just a little older than you. He's quite a dashing young lad." Rose laughed.

"I don't think I'm ready for that sort of thing yet," Rose said. "But I'd be happy to make a new friend."

"Great!" the woman said. "Or as that friend of yours said, fantastic! Well, I'd love to arrange something. I've got my knitting group on now, but I'll talk to my grandson and I'll contact you."

"Sounds good to me," Rose said. "Oh, I didn't catch your name."

"Alathea," the woman said. "And my grandson's James."

"Well, nice to meet you Alathea," Rose said. "Now, is there a library around here?"

"You can just wish for a book if you want it," Alathea said. "But if you aren't looking for a particular book, there's a sign over there that says LIBRARY. Just touch it and you'll be there."

"Thank you," Rose said. She made her way through the crowd of people. She realised that they each passed through one another. But she'd hugged Alathea before …

You must just touch people if you want to touch them, she realised. Rose reached the sign and touched it.

I don't recall the old woman and her grandson having names, but if they did, sorry. I named the woman after my grandma and the guy after my brother. Anyway, I'll update when I can. In the meantime, review!
