This chapter is fun; I enjoyed writing it. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did developing it!
The Doctor watched Martha walk off into the distance, slightly confused by her reaction.
He didn't expect her to act like that.
He sighed quietly, and then turned to Rose, the spark in his eyes returning.
Rose also looked a little confused, but she smiled at the Doctor.
The Doctor grinned.
"We have some catching up to do, don't we Rose?" He beamed.
Rose nodded, unable to speak.
"Tell you what, how about we talk over some tea? It's beenquite a while since I last had a break!"
Rose grinned, observing that the Doctor hadn't changed one bit since they had last been together.
She looked him in the eye.
"So where are we off too, then?" She asked, still aware that the Doctor hadn't yet let go of her hand.
"Where ever the wind takes us!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"So, Pa Pa Joes then?" Rose suggested.
"Oh yes. It has been AGES since I last had some chips!" The Doctor smirked.
Once they had started walking, Rose found herself grinning in a way she hadn't for a long time now.
She noticed the Doctor had exactly the same expression on his face. She was hugely comforted by this.
"I thought the void or bridge or whatever closed for good?" Rose questioned him.
The Doctor nodded, looking deep in thought.
"Yes. That's the thing that gets to me. It isn't possible! I mean..." His voice wandered off when he caught sight of Roses face.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon to see you again! It's just... You know me, logical and stuff."
He squeezed her hand. Rose shook her head reassuringly.
"No, it's O.k., I understand." She squeezed the Doctors hand back.
The Doctor smirked childishly.
"O.k. Lets save all the technical terms for later. Right now is all that matters, after all."
He tightened the grip on Roses hand.
"Now, let's see if we can beat that car that's driving towards Uncle Joes!" He ran and pulled Rose, who was laughing gleefully, behind him.
