Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or... well, anything interesting really. I do have a cardboard Tardis though - hours of entertainment right there.

AN - This is mostly fluff and is a bit suggestive so, yeah. It gives Rose a chance to be the hero for a change and there will be more of that in the next chapter. So i hope you like it :)


Chapter 6 - Thunder and Lightening:

"Oh my God! Doctor!" Rose cried, running over to the now unconscious time lord sprawled out like Da Vinci's Vitruvian man (albeit fully clothed) on a patch of frazzled undergrowth. "Doctor, oh my God, oh my God," Rose's vocabulary was frighteningly limited given the shock she'd just received.

We've only just gotten back together, you can't do this, she thought frantically.

"Okay, okay, first aid. What did mum always say? Check for a pulse? That sounds right" she muttered to herself. She extended two fingers to the side of the Doctor's neck, and then double checked his wrist. I can't find a pulse. There are two hearts inside this chest of his, it should be doubly easy to find a pulse! She cried out in frustration.

"No pulse, no pulse! Umm, CPR, mouth to mouth?" she asked herself out loud. Leaning over her husband, Rose pressed down hard with both hands over his left heart, then his right. When she received no response and fear gripped her even more tightly in the stomach, she bent over him, placing her lips on his, forcing oxygen into his lungs. Of course, in her state of distress she had forgotten two very important things. One - if the lightening had killed him, he could simply regenerate (although that would be a small consolation) and two - the Doctor had previously explained that the lightening on this planet never kills one who is struck by it, it merely gives them a mild shock. So it was a great surprise to Rose when the Doctor, instead of emerging from his unconscious state coughing and gasping for air, began kissing her while she was in the middle of giving him mouth to mouth. Needless to say, she quickly pulled away, holding him at arms length, and giving him the once over just to check that he really was okay.

"You frightened me half to death" she managed to laugh, before embracing him tightly once more.

"You know me, Rose, I'm simply unstoppable" he grinned, before pulling her back on top of him for another passionate joining of lips. While Rose was curious about the Doctor's sudden… hunger, she was rather enjoying herself and allowed him to continue kissing him for several minutes. Finally, gasping for air, she resurfaced. One look at their surroundings reminded her of the reason that they had been climbing the blasted mountain in the first place - they needed to get to those Slitheen!

"Doctor, come on, we really need to go now" she said, scrambling to her feet. The Doctor pouted at her, propping himself up onto his elbows.

"We don't have to" he whined, "We could just, you know, stay here. Enjoy the scenery," he looked at Rose at this point, lust clearly visible in his deep brown eyes.

"The Slitheen, though, we've gotta go now" Rose insisted.

With a resigned look on his face the Doctor sprung to his feet and began to walk ahead of Rose. Believing that he had finally come around, Rose followed. Several steps later, however, the Doctor spun around and grabbed Rose around her waist, spinning her in a circle so that her feet actually left the ground. Rose giggled, all seriousness lost, "Doctor! Put me back down".

"No way Rose. Fighting the bad guys can wait, we are more important right now. Honeymoon, remember?" he grinned mischievously, dragging Rose over to a clear patch of ground.

"Seriously though, Doctor, what has gotten into you? Saving this planet has to be top priority" It would have been top priority for the man I married, she thought to herself. What had happened? Why was he acting so strange? And then she remembered. The Doctor had told her that the lightening - particularly the gold bolts - had the effect of an aphrodisiac on the person who was struck by it. Well that explains a lot… pity.

"Okay, Doctor. Supposing I went along with this," Rose said in the most seductive voice she could muster, "Is it going to be like last time in the Tardis, which was amazing. Or maybe we could try something a little… different." she invented wildly, trying to think of a way to prevent disaster and leave her time lord unharmed at the same time.

"Just what did you have in mind Miss Tyler?" he raised an eyebrow. Something to keep him here while I deal with the Slitheen - I can't have him face them like this. Something to keep him occupied, something to keep him tied-up. Tied up!

"I don't know about you Doctor, but I would very much like to surprise you" said Rose, glancing about for some rope or something else with which she could bind the Doctor. She spotted a supple looking vine hanging from the tree behind the Doctor's head. She moved forwards quickly and held him in a passionate embrace. Lips locked on his, but eyes wide open, she yanked the vine down from behind the Doctor (who, incidentally, was too busy enjoying himself to notice), and swiftly looped it around the Doctor. Thankfully one of Jackie's exes - the one who had worked in the navy - had taught her how to tie a proper knot. Applying this knowledge, she secured the Doctor to the tree behind him. All done while kissing him - Rose made a mental note to congratulate herself later. She broke away from his lips and it was at this point that the Doctor noticed he was tied up.

"Hey! What are you… oh, I see. It's different, I'll give you that," he said looking at her, "but come back. It's no fun if you're over there," he moaned.

"Sorry Doctor, it's for your own good. I need to go and deal with those Slitheen before they destroy this planet or something"

"But I can't let you go on your own. Rose, it could be dangerous!" he said, sounding like his normal self.

"You can't come with me now. You've been hit by that lightening, don't you remember? You won't be able to focus on anything else but, well... you know. And from what I can tell, that won't help. So you're staying right here" she said firmly. And with that, Rose Tyler turned on her heel, scooped up the Doctor's jacket from the ground and continued up the mountainside, leaving a very frustrated time lord behind.
