Thank you to everyone who's reviewed so far! And if there's anyone you want Rose to meet, just tell me and I'll see what I can do.

The library was everything you could want in a library. It had nice comfy couches, a warm fire burning, and in the background you could hear classical music. Then Rose noticed some people nodding their heads like they were listening to rock music.

Okay, that's what they want in a library, she thought. She picked a shelf at random and started browsing. She noticed a series of X Files books. She'd never watched the show, but maybe after having her own experiences with aliens it'd be more interesting. She picked a book and lay down on a couch.

Rose didn't know how long she'd been reading for. It was so great how time wasn't a factor here. She was sure she could increase the speed of her reading if she wanted, but right now she was just enjoying the tranquillity.

"Rose?" said a voice behind her. Rose was a little startled. She turned around, and her eyes widened. Standing there was her dad, her real dad.

"Dad!" she exclaimed.

"Shh!" said a middle-aged man who was sitting near them.

"Um, should we go to my room?" Rose asked.

"Sure," Pete said. Immediately they were transported to Rose's room.

"Ha, why am I not surprised?" Pete said, looking around Rose's room. Rose smiled and wrapped her arms around her father.

"I've missed you so much," she said.

"I don't know, you've had a parallel me," Pete said.

"Yeah, making it even more painful," Rose said. "It was you, but it wasn't. I know he tried to love me like a daughter, but it just wasn't the same." Pete nodded.

"Oh Rose, I can't believe you died," he said. "When I saw your name there I was just heartbroken. You were always so full of life, especially when you were travelling with the Doctor."

"Yeah, well, I haven't done that in a while," Rose said, lowering her head a bit.

"You know, on that day I met you, I knew there was something special between you and the Doctor," Pete said.

"Yeah, you thought he was my boyfriend," Rose said.

"No, I mean the way didn't want you to get hurt," Pete said. "He did everything he could to keep me alive, so you'd be happy. And I've seen the things he's done for you, and the way he looked at you. He didn't need to say those words at Bad Wolf Bay." Tears came to Rose's eyes.

"I know," she whispered. "It just would have been a nice way to leave it. Then again, would it have been more painful?" Pete hugged his daughter.

"You listen to me," he said. "That man loved you with all his heart."

"Hearts," murmured Rose.

"Er, right," said Pete. "You were very lucky to have something like that, even if it didn't go anywhere. Sarah Jane was right."

"True," said Rose. "Say, how much of my life did you see?"

"As much as I could," Pete replied.

"No, I mean, was it like …" Rose struggled to find the right words, " … censored?"

"Ah," Pete said. "There are restrictions, yes." Rose blew out a breath of relief.

"So …" said Pete, trying to get back into a conversation, " … what have you done here so far?"

"Well, I met a woman called Alathea, who was the old woman who was possessed by the Gelth in 1869," Rose said. "I'm going to get together sometime with her and her grandson. Besides that, I was reading that book in the library, but that's about it. And I ate some chips."

"Oh, well I'd better leave," Pete said. "There's plenty more for you to do."

"You don't have to," Rose said.

"Nah, you should keep exploring," Pete said. "We've got all the time in the world to chat. And whenever you want me, just think of me."

"I know, Nathaniel told me," Rose said.

"Oh, I've met him," Pete said. "When I came here I got a woman called Serena. She left early to meet up with her boyfriend."

"Angels have boyfriends?" Rose said.

"Apparently," Pete said, shrugging. "Anyway, I'll leave you to it."

"Okay," said Rose, giving her father a final hug. "I'll see you round. Love you."

"You too," Pete said with a smile. Then, just like Nathaniel did before, he disappeared. Rose lay down on her bed. It was so good to see her dad again. She wondered who else she'd meet while she was here. But she didn't feel like it now.

So what do I want to do? she thought to herself. I want to … play Scrabble. A Scrabble board appeared in front of her, as well as the hologram of a person. It was grey and transparent, a bit like how the Cybermen looked when everyone thought they were ghosts.

"Please set level," the hologram said. Rose thought for a moment. She remembered playing Scrabble against the Doctor. For him, a score of 300 was less than satisfactory.

"The mind of an average 12-year-old boy," Rose decided. The hologram then took the shape of a 12-year-old boy.

This is going to be interesting, Rose thought.

Next chapter Rose is meeting ... oh, should I spoil the surprise? I'll just say this: all Doctor/Rose shippers hate her.
