I'm back yay! I promised you this sooooo nlong ago, this is a bit angsty so I will have to whip up funny chapter for chappie 4! I hope you guys don't mind it, because I have no idea where I am going with this lol, but Jackie is still funny and the Doctor we... he's the Doctor!


Chapter 3: Totally misunderstanding...


Rose stepped walked cautiously back down the hallway, edging closer and closer to where her mother was situated.

'Just remember what the Doctor said, keep her distracted'

She stood up tall and marched over to Jackie ready to divert the attention.

"So Mum… What you been up to since I was gone?" she said awkwardly

"Not much dear, just you know, this and that really" Jackie replied not really paying attention.

"Where is that male friend of yours? Wasn't he talking to you?" She said peering down the hallway. Rose jumped up and blocked the hallway from Jackie's view.

"Well, he smelt really, really bad, and he was asking if he could borrow my old shower, just to wash off." Rose fumbled trying to make an excuse for the Doctor's absence. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect…

"Ooh! Really? Well, we should have a little peek!" Jackie exclaimed mischievously. Rose just stood there.

"You did not just say that Mum!" She smack herself on the forehead (AKA headpalm)

"What is wrong darling? You seem a bit irritated." Jackie said concerned

"Of course I am irritated, I bring a guy into the house and you just start full out hitting on him. Leave him alone he is my friend and I want him to myself" Rose shouted, her self control jumping out the window.

"Rose! What on Earth are you going on about? I thought it was you and the Doctor" Jackie said incredulously.

'What in God's name is going on? She brings a nice lad home, while with the Doctor who I know she is smitten with, and then claims that this one's hers too! What is he her play toy? If he were mine he would certainly not be a mere thing like that' Jackie thought to herself

"He IS The Doctor!" Rose exclaimed.

"What do you mean he is the Doctor" Jackie asked angrily

"Well…you see… he's not The Doctor but a different doctor. He's not the same man, this guy is like a different person completely, the Doctor wouldn't come up to have dinner you know that, that is why David is here with me" Rose explained trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.


Meanwhile, by decision of the spirit of bad timing (aka me!), The Doctor is walking up the hallway…

"He's not the same man, this guy is like a different person completely, the Doctor wouldn't come up to have dinner you know that" He had heard enough, he thought they had gotten past that stage, thought she realized he was the Doctor!

The Doctor's hearts broke. She still didn't believe him, after all he had done.

'I'm sure she didn't mean it. She had to say something to throw off Jackie.' His voice had returned.

'You heard her, I'm not the Doctor.'

'Fine believe what you want, just hear her out later'


Back with Rose…

"Well…you see… he's not The Doctor but a different doctor. He's not the same man, this guy is like a different person completely, the Doctor wouldn't come up to have dinner you know that, that is why David is here with me" Rose explained trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.

'You know that's not true though Rose' Rose's voice appeared (about time!) in her head.

'I know that, you know that, but how do I explain that to Mum'

'Just be careful of what you say Rose Tyler'

'What is that supposed to mean?'

But the voice was gone.

"So why are you into this guy then? What's happen to the Doctor?" Jackie said nosily.

"Well you see, The Doctor is, well, um, how do I say this? Uh, it would never work out. He doesn't want me, isn't interested in me to say the least and he would never settled down." Rose said confused

"Bollocks, you two are smitten, destined even. You are just meant to be together!"

"No mum we are not. He could never settle down, not that I would want to of course. But the Doctor and I don't work like that it is more mutual admiration and affection. There is nothing like that between us, we just aren't meant to be a couple." 'Not that I don't want to' Rose thought to herself,

' God! Where is he, he should have disappeared by now! He has not even walked past me once. I am so glad he isn't around listening, I mean none of this.'

'Karma's a bitch Rose' the voice in her head said.

'What do you mean?' But once again it was gone.


Back to the Doctor…

'I guess the voice is right, I should hear her out, and she is talking to Jackie.' He thought.

The Doctor walked back down the hallway again after trudging off to Rose's room. Jackie and Rose were still talking. He was supposed to be escaping but at the moment he really didn't feel like it.

"The Doctor and I don't work like that; it is more mutual admiration and affection. There is nothing like that between us, we just aren't meant to be a couple."

'So first I'm not the Doctor and now we don't work like that' The Doctor was fuming, 'it appears I was so very wrong about Miss Rose Tyler. God I was so stupid, stupid Time Lord, falling for a human like that!'

The Doctor marched back up to Rose's room, and started banging his head on the wall, as tears trickled down his face.


Rose Again!

A loud banging resounded through the flat.

"Rose! What is that noise?" Jackie asked worryingly

"Um, no idea Mum. I'll go check and see if it is David." Rose said rapidly as she raced off in the direction of her room.

Dun Dun DUuuuuuuun! lol! there is my early xmas pressie to you! Enjoy and review.
