Hi, it's me… again…

I'm just saying this is my first fanfic, so I hope I'm doing well. I'm really trying to put my head in the characters. I'm also trying not to do any of the mushy stuff, like the 'I Love You'. Because I honestly don't think that they would do that, despite what people write.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who or work for the BBC, and I'm not trying to get money from doing this fanfic, or gain anything from it, despite making you people happy!

That's all for this chapter, Oh, wait, No, I didn't write in my other story that if I get a review saying you want another chapter. Then I will write it. Because I only wish to serve you, and if starting a whole new story means that, then so be it! Except I sort of like this one, so if you want another chapter! REVIEW! REVIEW!

Enjoy!

In her trance, Rose followed the suited man onto one horse drawn carriages that travelled up and down some of the major roads.

"To…" Rose didn't hear what the man said, she was still transfixed in his eyes. They were bright blue, like ice and very hypnotic. He sat down opposite her, and narrowed his eyes at her. Even with her staring he didn't seem to be self conscious.

Somewhere deep down inside her Rose felt that this was wrong. But she didn't take notice of that crying voice in the back of her mind.

"Where's the Doctor?" it screamed. She simply stared at the man's ice blue eyes.

"What's your name?" he asked her, in a silky smooth voice. She thought about that for a second, seeming to dig down deep within herself, and find it.

"Rose Tyler" she replied.

"You sound English, are you from Britain?" the man asked her. She simply nodded. Rose picked up on his accent, quite like one she'd heard before. American.

"Here, I am called Stephan. I won't tell you my real name" the man said. Again, she nodded.

"Are you here with anyone?" he asked her. She thought for a second, the voice in her mind screaming through all her thoughts.

"Don't tell him!" it screamed. Even in her trance she could still tell that this man was not from around here. He didn't seem to be dangerous though. Calm thoughts flushed through her mind like a wave. She could trust him.

"The Doctor" she said blankly.

"Is he a doctor?" the man asked alarmed.

"No, he's a Time Lord" Rose replied. The man's face flicked with recognition, he seemed to be in pain. Rose didn't like this. The voice in her head seemed to burst from the cupboard Rose had put it in.

"Now you've done it! Go and tell a complete stranger that you're travelling the universe with an alien. Someone is going to get hurt here, and it's going to be your fault!" Rose's head started to hurt, and she groaned slightly. Shaking her head from side to side. This wasn't right. She shouldn't be telling this man anything. She moaned trying to project the pain from her head.

"Look at me" the man's voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked up, and was again captured under his spell. All thoughts of danger seemed to drift away on the cold Melbourne air that whipped around them.

"You're safe Rose, and your friend won't see you again" Stephan said to her calmly.

"I am safe, he won't see me again" she repeated quietly.

OoO

One of the smaller box-like buildings of Federation Square was the information centre.

"Perfect" the Doctor mumbled to himself. The glass doors opened with a small 'whoosh' as he entered the small building. A girl at the desk looked up at him. She smiled.

"What a hottie, a bit thin though" she thought.

"Hi, I'm not from around here. I was looking for my friend, Rose Tyler. She's about so high. Blond hair, huge brown eyes, nice smile. Oh, and she's British" he gestured with his hand, what he thought Rose's height was. The ladies eye brow raised, and the Doctor noted disappointment flicker across her face.

"Damn it" she thought.

"Have you seen her, has she come in here at all?" the Doctor was slightly panicked.

"No sir, sorry, you'll have to look for her yourself. I'm sorry I can't be of any assistance" the girl replied sweetly, lying through her teeth at the last sentence.

"Thank you anyway" he managed to say, before turned and sweeping through the glass doors again.

"Come on Rose, where are you?" he asked himself.

OoO

The carriage pulled up outside Southern Cross station. They hadn't travelled for long. Rose wondered why they hadn't taken a tram, but her state kept her from thinking any longer. Stephan took her hand as she stepped out of the carriage. She felt a rush of warmth up her arm as her fingers met his. She liked that.

"No, it's not what you want…" the voice was cut off by Stephan's voice.

"Are you okay?" he asked. Rose nodded quietly and stepped from the last step. They walked along the pavement, then up a staircase until they were walking over the bridge with the train tracks underneath them.

"Are we going somewhere?" Rose asked Stephan. He nodded simply.

Stephan bought them each a ticket, and he stepped onto the escalator and took her hand. Rose felt another warm shock shoot up her arm as he did so. They walked along one of the platforms. Stephan led them to a seat where they sat down, side by side.

"Where are we going?" Rose asked suddenly, staring at the many trains coming and going in front of them. Stephan gave her an uneasy glance. She was different from all the others, she asked too many questions. It was almost as if she was fighting him.

"Home" he said shortly. Turning his head back, so he too, looked in front of him. Rose was silent.

OoO

The Doctor was lost, totally lost. He didn't know where Rose was, or how he was going to find her. He started pacing up and down outside the cathedral, hoping she'd just taken the wrong turn and would find her way back. Didn't she always? The time with the Dalek-Emperor, when he'd sent her away just before the delta wave (that didn't happen). She'd come back, she'd come back and saved him. Now, he had to save her. Again.

He sped down the street, along the river. Past a train station. Flinders Street. Train station. She could have gotten on a train. Thoughts raced through the Doctor's mind. Someone, could have taken her on a train. But Rose didn't know the first thing about Australia, as far as the Doctor knew, she hadn't even been here before. The thought was wiped from the Doctor's head.

He stopping running, probably due to the mass amount of stares he was getting. Instead he started asking people if they had seen a blonde woman, with large brown eyes. She was wearing… What was she wearing? Her union jack t-shirt. The one she wore when they went and visited World War II. With Captain Jack.

"Hi, you wouldn't of happened to see a blonde woman, with big brown eyes, wearing a union jack t-shirt? She has a British accent" The Doctor asked at least fifty people, with only the answer of wide eyes and shaking heads. He was defeated, Rose was gone. He didn't know where she had gone.

The Doctor sat down on a bench and sighed, putting his head in his hands. Cars and trams raced down the street behind him. Acting as white noise to his thoughts. He'd promised Jackie he'd always take Rose home, always keep her safe.

"Sir? What's the matter?" a small voice came from in front of him. He looked up, a school girl stood in front of him. She had brown hair, and brown eyes. She looked slightly like Rose. Her hair was a darker brown then the girl behind her. The girl behind her also had brown hair, but she had green eyes, and her hair was lighter then the first girl. The girl behind her blinked at the Doctor, and then giggled. The girl that had addressed simply stared, waiting for a reply.

"I've just lost someone" he replied.

"Who have you lost?" asked the light haired girl. She was serious now, her eyes huge.

"A friend" the Doctor said cautiously. He wondered why the girls had started talking to him, didn't they know about not talking to stranger? They might be kidnapped or worse. A whole entire thought channel raced past the Doctor's visual mind. Those of Rose. He winced, and the girls noticed.

"I'm Clare" The first girl said, sticking her hand out. The Doctor took it, and they shook hands.

"This is Bella, she's a bit of a talker once you get to know her. She's a bit shy though" Clare said.

"Am not" Bella stuck her tongue out.

"Why are you talking to me? Aren't you scared I'll kidnap you or something like that?" The Doctor asked them, he didn't like this, as much as he was a stranger to them, they were a stranger to him.

"You don't look like that type" Clare said, a suppressed smile creeping across her face. She held it back though, not daring to show the man her natural side.

"Besides, we don't like seeing people like you. You're obviously lost, you've lost someone travelling with you, and you're about to have a mental break down" Bella said.

"Told you she talked a lot" Clare said, a smile leaping across her lips, and infecting her eyes. The Doctor smiled back. He hadn't been to Melbourne in a long while, and it was true it had changed a lot. He had a gut feeling these girls would help him. So he told them about Rose.
