Many hours and much amusement later, Rose found herself heading towards the Blue Stage after leaving the Boiler Room where she and the Doctor had danced with a few thousand people to Girl Talk's set-list. The cool change had arrived while they were inside, so they had missed the small shower that had passed over. Rose didn't mind, though. The change had brought with it clouds that cooled the day down, and hid the sun.
Despite the damp ground, people were still going crazy because of the music. Dizzie Rascal had just started his set-list, and the mosh pit was pulsing in time with his music. Rose couldn't wait to get in there!
Towards the end of Dizzie's gig, Rose had managed to find space up the back of the mosh for herself and the Doctor. Being crushed between the Doctor and a few other people Rose had never met was exciting, but she didn't know why. Probably just the atmosphere of the place, she thought. Still, could be worse! Rose couldn't help but smirk at the thought.
Soon as the smirk left her lips, Dizzie started his hit 'Bonkers', and the mosh did just that - went bonkers! It was amazing! Even though Rose was at the back of the mosh pit, and could hardly see Dizzie himself, she felt a connection with him, his music, his grasp of life.
"Some people think I'm bonkers, but I just think I'm free."
Exactly how she felt, travelling as she did. With the Doctor, it was running for her life all the time, saving worlds on countless occasions, meeting nasty, evil villains; but, because she was with the Doctor, it was all worth. Like Sarah-Jane had said, the Doctor was worth the monsters, because, with him, Rose was free, able to go anywhere.
She really was bonkers, though – if she thought being crushed between about five random people and an alien was a day of relaxation, she needed to be shipped off to the nearest asylum!
All thought was swept away as both Rose and the Doctor, along with several thousand people, danced and jumped on the spot and went mad in time with the song. Pure, crazy bliss.
