A/N: Sorry that this chapter is so short. My muse seems to be a bit fickle lately, that and my muse is into my story called Exile. Anyway, we are almost done. And I just want to get this updated so people don't think I have gone and quit on finishing this up.

Chapter 19

Reaching the control panel, Rose turned to the Doctor, "Doctor, is my mum coming with us?"

The Doctor groaned a bit, "Normally I'd kick her out the door if I had a chance, but she's safer in the TARDIS. Besides I don't want to see your mum get infected with the spores either."

Rose hugged him, "So you do care about her."

"Of course I care about her. She's your mum."

Rose smiled a wistful little smile, "What about Mickey?"

The Doctor wrinkled up his nose, "Forget it. I draw the line when I take your mother on the TARDIS. Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. Besides I can't take the entire Earth on my TARDIS."

Rose sighed and shook her head, trying to understand the Doctor was like trying to go through a file cabinet. She watched as he worked on starting up the TARDIS. The TARDIS always seemed to behave when the Doctor needed her. Other times, the Doctor would complain that she was being fickle.

House came in sour mood and all and Rose frowned at him. She didn't like him. He commented, "Now where are we going? Let me guess the way things are going, we're going to end up on the moon or some strange unpronounceable planet."

The Doctor grinned, "Nope, Too bad too because Rose and I were thinking about going to Raxicoricofallapatorius."

"Raxa what?" House said with a frown. "You're making it up. There's no such place."

The Doctor grinned, "There is too such a place. But never mind that, you're too stupid to know any better."

House snorted, "The sooner I get off this flying circus the better."

The Doctor grinned as the TARDIS dematerialized for a moment and then dematerialized back at the hospital, "Done…."

"Do me a favor, House…."

House frowned,"What now?"

"I need to release the cure in a gas like form in the hospital. Plus release it over the city. You wouldn't happen to have oh…I don't know oxygen. I just need to mix in the cure with some breathable element that humans breath in. Oxygen would probably be the best."

"And the most dangerous, it's flammable you moron."

The Doctor grinned, "I know that….I am not stupid, you know. We're at a hospital, hospitals have oxygen. I need you and your doctors to bring me some canisters of it. I have got to dump the cure in it and you have to vent it through the hospital's ventilation system. It will take some time for it to cure but it's the best way to make sure everyone in the hospital is treated for it. Then I have to have some for the TARDIS as well, I plan to release that oxygen into the atmosphere around you and it should dissipate and spread the cure to others that way. If that doesn't work offer the cure in a shot form."

"I'll get Foreman on it."

House walked out of the TARDIS.

"He seems kind of quiet, Doctor."

"Oh he'll be alright Rose, probably a shock to his limited mind. Once we leave, he'll go into denial mode and pretend it never happened."

"Why do people do that Doctor?"

"Well it can be a bit much for some people. I mean think about the first time humans said the Earth was round, in a world of people who said it was flat. How many people actually believe it? How many people accepted it? And you know Rose; some people in your time still think the Earth is flat. So no matter how much evidence you're given. People still find a way to deny what they see. Come on Rose, let's go check on Chase and get more of the cure ready for distribution.

Rose nodded and followed after the Doctor to his lab. They found Chase, bent over the lab table sleeping away. Vials of the cure were stacked up and the Doctor grinned, "Good job, Robert Chase. Good job."
