I ended up wearing my hair up at the formal like Rose did.

There was a table to the left. Next to it was a blue schoolbag. The Doctor opened it. Inside there were schoolbooks. But these weren't any old schoolbooks, as the Doctor was soon to discover. Sure, the label was innocent enough (Lauren Davis – Maths), but what was there a picture of on the front? Him and Rose! The same thing for the Science book, the History book, the Religion book … and the cover of the English book was another TV guide cover. It had him and Rose on it and said: How time flies – David Tennant and Billie Piper team up for the tenth incarnation of Doctor Who.
This girl sure isn't shy about what she loves, the Doctor thought. He then came across a folder. Lauren Davis – Scripture was written on it, but surrounding that were words related to the Doctor. Theta Sigma … Gallifrey… TARDIS … and on the bottom was a picture of him holding hands with Rose, next to the words Doctor Who Rules! On the inside cover was a sketch of Rose, and on the back in big, bold letters were the words BAD WOLF. The Doctor put the folder down and moved on to Lauren's school diary. On the right page was just homework information, but on the left there were hand drawn pictures. On one page there was a Dalek, him and Rose. The Doctor turned the page. This time him and Rose were holding hands. He turned the page again. This time they were pashing. He turned the page again. This time they were … doing more than pashing. He quickly turned to the next page. It was full of quotes.
"I'm so glad I met you""I could save the world but lose you"
"What use are emotions if you will not save the woman you love?"
"You're fantastic. Absolutely fantastic"
The next page contained a little comic. It showed Rose remembering how they defeated the Daleks … and how he got the time vortex out of her. Rose confronted him about it … and they ended up in bed. The next page was another comic showing Rose's 20th birthday, and the Doctor's present was a marriage proposal.
She really wanted us to be together, the Doctor thought. The thing is, why are al the pictures of my ninth self? The Doctor turned the page.
"What the hell is that supposed to be?" he thought out loud, before taking a closer look at the picture. "Oh, that's why." The next few pages contained pictures of Jabe, a Slitheen, Charles Dickens and the Jagrafess. The Doctor was just about to close the book, when he saw another comic. It showed him and Rose saying goodbye at Bad Wolf Bay. Lauren's drawing had improved a bit. She even emphasised the single tear that he shed. The Doctor put the books back in Lauren's bag. As he did, he noticed a key ring hanging off the zip on the bag. It was a little grey TARDIS.
Cute, thought the Doctor. He then walked to the bathroom, where Lauren was still taking her shower.
"Are you gonna be much longer?" he asked.
"I'm washing my hair!" yelled Lauren. The Doctor sighed and left to go upstairs. As he did he heard Lauren singing.
"I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby," she sang. The Doctor couldn't help being reminded of Rose. He'd fly her to the moon and back.
"I know what you're thinking about," cried Lauren as the Doctor walked up the stairs.

Okay, the facts were slightly modified in this chapter. Firstly, I lost my key ring sobs Secondly, the stuff in my diary was slightly out of order. Thirdly, I've only been collecting the pics for my books this year. But I'll have them on next year, I swear! Oh yeah, and I didn't say that I also have Little Britain stuff on my Scripture folder.
