I know in the beginning I promised an update every three days but what with having to do Prelims I have been bogged down with revision, plus there has been stuff going on in my social life that has occupied my thoughts for a while. However as I'm so nice I have found some free time and edited the original, months old chapter six. There is some more action is this chapter and yes the title is taken from a song name, cookie for anyone who can tell me the name of the song.

Disclaimer: If I had enough money to spare I would buy it however I barely have enough money for xmas shopping let alone ownership of Doctor Who.

Rose in the sky with Demons

Rose shifted her rucksack from one shoulder to the other as she waited in the line, she hadn't brought much. A few essentials; underwear, toothbrush, pajamas, phone, Credit card. However after standing in a line for over half an hour was enough to make any amount of luggage seem heavy. The Doctor was in front of her, bouncing with both impatience and excitement on the balls of his feet. He turned round to flash her a grin,

"Your going to love France, I can't believe we've never been before, apart from with Reinnette, but that doesn't count as we got to see a few rooms of a house. Well it was the Court of Versailles actually. Still, people lived in it."

"Notice how we have been standing here for double the amount of time the plane journey took?" She said, changing the subject.

"Yep, typical humans, you get all these fancy new fast modes of transport and then ruin the whole effect with a bloomin, great, mile long line."

Rose sighed, "I guess it'll be worth it."

"Oh yes, we'll go find us a place to stay, then climb the Eiffel tower."

Rose tried to stifle a yawn, a sign of getting up for a plane in the wee hours of the morning, another typical thing about Earth travel. Ridiculous times. The journey was only fifteen minutes. Rose supposed the reason you were advised to get the five thirty plane was you would end up standing in a queue until lunchtime.

The Doctor was observing her, "OK then we'll take the elevator." Rose heard his stomach rumble, "Actually lets go in the evening, after a nice big meal, frog's legs lovely." He rubbed his belly enthusiastically.

Rose grimaced, "There is no way your making me eat frog's legs."

"You ate a kronk burger," the Doctor interjected.

That was true, but kronk burger wasn't made of frogs, as far as she knew. Rose decided that she wouldn't ask what made up a kronk burger. What she didn't know couldn't hurt her, in this case at least.

The line began to move slightly. The Doctor picked his bag up from the ground and walked deliberately slowly to annoy the already irritable people behind him, Rose was in the ranks of those people so assisted her fellows by shoving him in the back.

"Oi!." The Doctor spun round but seeing the mob of angry faces swallowed any remark that he had been about to make.

Clare checked her watch, if these people didn't hurry up she was going to miss her plane. She was standing just outside the ladies toilets, the so called queue was a bundle of women all wanting to get to the toilets first, people pushed, shoved and bickered and every time there was a toilet free there would be a mad scramble to get there first.

"Bloody hell." Muttered a young blonde woman in front of her.

"Tell me about it." Clare said.

The blonde turned around, "At least it aint as bad as that queue for customs. I was in that for over an hour."

"Oh I haven't been through yet."

"Oh right, where're you going then."

"London, to stay with relatives for a bit." She didn't elaborate on that. She was actually going to see her sick aunt.

"Me and my friend have just come from there."

"Were you on holiday?"

"Oh no, we're on holiday, or rather an adventure, now." She smiled.

This information surprised Clare, the girl was speaking very fluent French but yes, come to think of it, there was a slightly London accent hidden in her speech. Perhaps she was half French, half English.

"You could have fooled me, your French is perfect." For some reason this caused an extremely confused look to pass across the girl's face. She looked at Clare oddly before she gave a nervous laugh.

"You're kidding right?"

"Of course not." Clare said, all seriousness.

"Oh my God, your not." The girl's eyes went wide and her face showed a thousand emotions at once; surprise, excitement, amazement, shock...

She started to fight her way out of the crowed, "Doctor!" She yelled, "Doctor!"

Clare was left standing in the queue, totally and utterly bemused.

"Au revoir Monsieur."

The Doctor smiled nodded at the woman at the information desk, they now had a place to stay, it was time to find Rose, he turned around only to have her knock into him.

"Speak of the devil."

Rose clutched at his coat while she caught her breath. She looked up at him, her eyes told the Doctor she had something very important to say. But what?

"Yeah about that, I...I don't think, I mean remember you said," She straightened up and took another deep breath before continuing, "The TARDIS aint gone like we thought, you were certain the planet went into the black hole right, well turns out you were wrong."

He was sure his hearts had just skipped a beat, "Rose," he started carefully, "What do you mean?"

"Well how many airports have you been too where everyone speaks English?"

"You mean your hearing English."

"Yeah and just a minute ago, this woman complimented me for my French."

His hearts did skip a beat there, he whooped and swept Rose up in his arms, spinning her around, laughing. A few people stared but he couldn't have cared less, let them stare because the TARDIS still had a link with Rose, the TARDIS didn't end up in the black hole, she was alive!

He set Rose on her feet and grinned at her, she grinned back. That endearing mega-watt grin of hers. He leant forward ever so slightly, there noses almost touching. A brief struggle with want a reason played in his mind. Eventually reason won and her pulled back, his grin never faltering. A flicker of confusion passed over Rose's face and he sighed inwardly, he couldn't kiss her, he just couldn't. The Doctor became all too aware that he was still holding onto her, something that in the past wouldn't have bothered him. The noise of the busy airport faded away as a tension gathered between the two of them. The Doctor held onto his grin and opened his mouth to say something, anything. Rose beat him to it.

"Guess we won't be staying in France then." It was a statement not a question.

"I think it's time we phoned Zach, we're gonna need coordinates and a rocket." Reason did a little dance in his head, see everything worked out fine there.

"Let's go home." Rose said.

Home, yes that seemed about right. Gallifrey was gone and there was no changing that. Earth was his favourite planet, but the Doctor knew for a fact that he could never settle down there permanently. The TARDIS was home now and in a way it had been ever since he first 'borrowed' her.

"Good idea. France is a lot more interesting in twenty years time and there is no way I'm hanging around that long."

With that he took Rose by the hand and they went off in search of some tickets.

The large planes that undertook lengthy journeys to other planets as well as countries were designed on the outside like a space shuttle and on the inside like an ocean liner. As the height of space travel wasn't due until the fifty first century the 'sky buses' were fast and efficient for their time but only managed to get as far as the new Mars colony. If you wanted to get further you had to have a very powerful rocket and only NASA, Russia and Torchwood had access to those.

Of course Rose and the Doctor weren't travelling by sky bus. They were travelling by a regular plane, just much faster than the ones Rose was used to back home, the information about sky buses had been, according to the Doctor, for Rose's benefit, you never know when you'll need to know your transport, the Doctor had said.

In all honesty Rose wasn't that interested in sky buses, she had one hell of a headache. She put it down to the travelling and so had bought some pills before getting on the plane, however it was stubbornly refusing to go away and throbbed angrily. Rose rested her head on the Doctor's shoulder.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Headache." Was all she said before she closed her eyes, trying to will it away. Thinking about it just made the thing worse so she stopped and pictured the TARDIS instead.

The TARDIS was blue and soothing, the TARDIS was sitting deep inside a tunnel. The tunnel was long and dark. Black. The TARDIS was receding further and further into the darkness. She couldn't see it any more. The tunnel was so deep, so dark, so horribly familiar to Rose. It seemed to revolve in front of her. Now she was looking into an enormous cavern. The walls glowed red. A laugh, a deep, horrible laugh. Screams, not her screams other people's screams. One voice was shouting to her. Urgent and frightened.

Rose sat bolt upright in her seat. She screamed as a white hot pain shot through her body. She could feel tiny pin pricks all over her skin. She screamed again as everything went black.

The Doctor jumped from his seat. Not only was she covered in the black markings but her eyes were now glowing a deep, blood red. Other people had got up from their seats too, those that had seen Rose and those that had heard his shout of surprise when the markings had suddenly appeared. The air hostess bustled up to them pushing her trolley in front of her.

"Sir what is the problem-" She was cut short when Rose stood up and smirked at the trolley.

With a wave of her hand the trolley lifted into the air and flew down the length of the plane, hitting several people in the head.

The Rose-Devil, for that is what the Doctor was certain she had become, laughed. People were screaming now. The lighting began to flicker and the whole plane tilted precariously to the right. Luggage flew out of compartments. An announcement came on but it was drowned out by the terrified passengers. The Doctor stepped back from the Rose-Devil and tripped over the unconscious air hostess. The Doctor stared around wildly is hearts thumping. He was on a plane full of people, what could he possibly do.

Somewhere down the front of the plane a baby was crying. The Rose-Devil slowly turned her head towards the sound, an evil smirk spreading over her features. The Doctor's hearts stopped dead. No. It wouldn't.

"Rose listen to me you have to fight this." He stood up and grabbed her by the shoulder's spinning around to face him. "People will die! Can you hear me, Rose!"

The plane tilted further on it's side and the Doctor was thrown backwards. The Rose-Devil was left standing unnaturally straight and still.

"Rose please!"

She looked at him then, with her piercing red glare. "Then you will listen to me."

Dun dun dun cliffhanger. So whaddya all think?
