{Aliens In London}

The TARDIS materialized and Rose stepped out of the phone booth followed by the Doctor. He leaned against the open the door. She looked around the area and saw she was not far away from her home.

"How long have a been gone?" asked Rose.

"About twelve hours." he told her.

"Are you sure? Because you got the date wrong before." said Rose.

"I'm Time Lord and I actually meant to go to 1869. We created time."

"Right." She quickly turned around and beamed. "Oh, Charles Dickens on Christmas with ghosts!" She said with a laugh. "I'm just going to see mum.

"It was fantastic. What are you going to tell your mother?"

"That I've been to year five billion and only been gone twelve hours. No, I'll just tell her I spent the night at Shareen's. See you later. Don't disappear."

The Doctor patted his leather pocket. He pulled out a sliver chain. "Here it's about time you have one. It's TARDIS key."

"Really?" said Rose with a bright smile.

"Really. I won't go disappearing. Go on. Go see your mum."

She slipped the key around her neck. She felt the cool key rest against her skin. She ran down the road to the flat, and the Doctor walked over to post. He lifted the corner of a poster. He saw a picture of Rose. He quickly ran after the young blonde that was now officially his companion since he gave her a key.

The Doctor stormed into the flat and found mother and daughter in a tight hug. "It hasn't been twelve hours. It's been twelve months. You've been gone a whole year. Sorry."

Jackie turned to the man that had walked into the room. "Who are you?"

"I'm the Doctor. Hello." he said with a wave.

"One day you just waltz up in here in all charms and smiles and then my daughter vanishes off the face of planet!" snapped Jackie. She turned to Rose, "Sweetheart where were you?"

"I told you I've been traveling."

"Travel where? I only get one phone call within a year! Traveling with your passport still in your dresser. It's one lie after another."

"Mum, I'm not lying. I was traveling. You can ask the Doctor." said Rose.

Jackie turned to the man that stood next to her. "Traveling. What are you thirty, forty. Did you find her on line? What's your relationship with Rose? Did you kidnap her? Are you making her say these things so you won't get caught? Who are you?"

"It's my fault she's been gone for so long, and I am a Doctor."

" Well, if you are a doctor. Then stitch this mate!" yelled Jackie and she slapped him across the face.

"Mum!" said Rose in shock and the Doctor walked out the door. She ran after the man leaving her mum with the police that sat in the living room.

The Doctor and Rose sat on the wall across the apartment building. She had admit to herself it was strange being back on Earth sitting on a wall not being cased after an alien.

"I can't tell her. I don't even know were to begin. She's never going to believe me. I can't believe I missed an entire year! Was it any good?"

"Midding."

"You're so useless."

"Well, if it's going to be this much trouble every time. You can stay here."

"Oh, no you don't. I'm going back with you. How can I sit still now? There's so much out there!"

"She's not coming. I don't do families."

"No way! She slapped you!"

"Nine hundred years of time and space, and I've never been slapped by someone's mother."

"Your face!"

"It hurt."

"You're gay. 900 years?"

"That's how old I am."

"No you're not."

"I am so."

"My mum was right, that's one hell of age gap. A conversation with you just goes mental. There's no one else I can talk to. I've seen all this stuff, and I can't say a word, all the spaceships and aliens," said Rose and she smiled, "but I love it." Just then a spaceship hit Big Ben. "Oh, that's just not fair!" They ducked down as the ship flew over their heads and crashed into the river.

"Fantastic!" said the Doctor with a bright smile.

"Did you know that was going to happen?"

"Nope. This is why I travel Rose. History in the making!"

She smiled the tip of tongue poking out between her teeth. He took her hand and they ran down the blocked off street. He stood on his toes in hope to get a better look.

"Come on, we're not going to see much standing here. We can do like everyone else does. Watch it on the telly." said Rose tugging on his hand.

"If it get's domestic in there I'm leaving." said the Doctor seriously.

"I'd be right behind you." She told him and they left the street for the apartments.

The Doctor sat on the couch trying to listen to the news over the crowd that was in the Tyler flat, he turned up the volume and heard that a UFO had crashed into Big Ben. They had found a body in the crash. Rose sat down next to him with a cup of tea in her hands. She tucked her legs under her getting comfortable hoping to learn something new about the crash.

"We need to get into Downing Street." said the Doctor motioning to the television with the remote. "Hey move out of the way." He told the person that stood in front of him blocking the screen.

Rose looked up and saw her best friend Mickey standing in front of her. "I was going to call ya'. I just hadn't-"

Mickey grabbed Rose by the arm and pulled her into the kitchen. He shut the door behind him. She stood listening to him tell her that he had been called into questioning by the police five times, because he had been last person that saw her.

"I'm sorry Mickey. I went traveling with the Doctor." said Rose.

"What Doctor?"

"I'm the Doctor." he said, "Hello," and he waved at the black man with a smile.

Rose quickly stood up and stood in front of the Doctor before he got punched. He had already been slapped by her mother. He didn't need to be punch by her best friend.

"Look Mickey, I truly am sorry. But I want to travel. I want to see things that are new to me. I can't sit here work in a shop all my life, come home and eat chips. You've known for years I've wanted to travel."

He pulled Rose into a tight hug, "I wish you would have called me Rose. I've been worried. You've been gone a year, and I had no word from my best friend." He pulled back from the embrace. "I'm not going to stop you from traveling. I want a call every now and then, yea?"

"I will." said Rose with a smile.

"Rose come on. I found something on the monitors." said the Doctor with a bright smile.

Rose beamed and followed the Doctor out of the flat and back to the TARDIS. Mickey watched the couple leave with a small smile on his face. He could tell his best friend was happy, but he wished she'd at lest called to tell him that she was alive. He didn't like the idea of him being a murder suspect thanks to Jackie. He was relieved to see her alive, well and happy.

"I snuck off and took a look at the scanners. The place got to domestic and you were talking to your boyfriend." said the Doctor playing with the screen. "See the spaceship left Earth, did a sling shot around and came back."

"But who would fake a crash landing? And why? And Mickey's not my boyfriend."

"Good questions. Let's go find out." said the Doctor and he pushed several buttons and the TARDIS vanished from the street corner, and unknown to the Doctor and Rose Jackie had witnessed the phone booth vanishing.

Rose couldn't help but smile to herself remembering in the journal that her older self had said that he had gone to Downing Street alone. She was able to go with him this time. It made her wonder what had changed in this timeline. She shrugged it off. She was just happy she was there with him.

The Doctor opened the door only to find soldiers with guns pointed at him. He pushed Rose behind him not wanting her get shot. He could survive, but she couldn't if a gun went off.

Rose poked her head around the Doctor's shoulder. She waved her fingers. "Hello boys, I'm Rose and this is the Doctor. Could you be gentlemen and lower your guns for a lady?"

"Men you heard the lady. Lower your guns." said the soldiers.

The group was interrupted when they all heard a scream from down the hall.

The Doctor quickly resorted to military mode and ordered, "Defense plan delta. Move. Move," and he moved the military out double time.

"Doctor how do you know plan delta?" asked Rose as they ran down the hall.

"I use to work for UNIT. I was on high security one." he told her quietly not wanting the others to hear. She nodded knowing not to say another word about because it was in past and not truly important at the moment. "Spread out block all exits. Move. Move," and they did as they were ordered.

The Doctor and Rose made their way to the morgue knowing were the scream came from. She shivered slightly at being in a morgue because her experience wasn't too nice.

"What happened?" asked Rose knelling down in front of the ME.

"It's alive. I thought it was dead." she said.

Rose squeezed the woman's hand and watched the Doctor move around the table when he heard a noise. She rolled her eyes when the Doctor said, "Hello," too happily, and the alien that was in fact a walking pig ran away in fear. The Doctor ran after it in hope to stop the men from killing it. Rose jumped when she heard a shot ring throughout the halls. She quickly ran down the hall to find the Doctor on his knees next to the animal.

"It was scared. It was scared." said the Doctor to the solider.

"It's all right sweetheart." whispered Rose as she applied pressure on the shot wound her hand becoming drenched in his blood. "There's nothing to be scared of sweetheart. It's a whole another adventure. You rest now. Shhh." The pig slowly closed his eyes and his body went limp. She turned to man and quickly got and yanked the gun from his hand. "I hate guns!" She quickly took it apart and threw it the ground. "Get out of sight! Leave!"

"Rose," said the Doctor. She turned and saw he had the animal in his arms. "Come on we need to know what's going on."

She nodded her head and she followed the Doctor back to the morgue. He laid the pig down on the table in front of the ME. Rose blinked and several tears fell down her cheeks. She listened to the doctor explain why aliens would fake aliens. The Doctor took Rose's hand and they returned to the TARDIS.
