"I'll safe you Owen" Tosh whispered hoping that Owen could hear her before she ran as fast as she could.
Wife of Mine get your best blaster out, we've been invited to a ball.
"How do I look?" Rose asked twirling round in the Noble family living room. John stood there gaping like a fish.
"Y-y-you look spectacular" he managed to get out "beautiful, lovely, fantastic, delicious, delightful, gorgeous, wonderful, superb, brill-"
"All right, all right we get the picture" Donna snapped from the kitchen "stop yapping the poor girl's ear off and leave. Me and Jack have some plans"
"What kind of plans" John asked eyeing Jack suspiciously who suddenly found his shoes rather interesting.
"Not those sort of plans" Donna growled as she exited the kitchen and saw John glaring at Jack "we're watching a film. Now go and tend to your date and try not to bore her to death Space-Boy"
"Ah, yes, better go, Martha and Tom said they'll meet us and we don't want to keep them waiting" John said blushing furiously. He stepped up to Rose and offered her his arm which she accepted; beaming up at him...he was sure he'll die of a heart attack soon.
"Have fun, don't wake us up when you come in too late" Jack said winking.
"Stop it!" John snapped, for some reason that caused Rose and Donna to smirk...

Tosh was running as fast as she could. She had stupidly left her car keys in her coat pocket at her workstation in the Hub and now she was running along, freezing cold, her breath coming out it white little puffs before her, cursing the fact that she had also left her mobile in her coat pocket. She had the choice of either going to Gwen and Ianto or Jack and Donna, while Gwen and Ianto actually live nearer to the Hub it was Jack and Donna she needed...crap. She just had to keep running.

"John over here!" Martha called out waving her hand wildly in the air. She was wearing a floor length elegant black dress and Tom Milligan's arm round her waist, her cheeks flushed with happiness.
John walked across quickly, Rose half jogging to keep up with him. "Hello Martha, Tom this is Rose Tyler, Jack's sister"
"Hi, it's nice to meet you" Martha said winking as she held her hand out to Rose. The pair had met at the Hub the night before, at first Martha was a little awed and miffed that Rose Tyler was here but after some arguing the two of them got on rather well.
"Nice to meet you too" Rose said smirking as she shook Martha's hand, the pair of them had spent a good half hour sniggering at the Doctor's antics last night and she knew he wouldn't live anything down once he opens that watch.
"So how did you two meet?" Tom asked "Martha never mentioned you having a girlfriend before just a twin."
"Ah yes Donna lovely girl when she's not beating you up. We meet...well...erm" John trailed off blushing furiously.
"He pushed me out of the way of a speeding car" Rose said "and I gave him a kiss to say thanks. Then it turned out that my half brother is his best friend"
Well that was one way of putting it John thought amusingly. Loud tapping got everyone's attention and everyone turned to look at the conductor in silence as he began the small orchestra (that seemed to be made of collage students) to play a waltz.
"Martha dear" Tom said smiling down at Martha "would you do me the honour of this dance"
"Why yes" Martha said beaming up at Tom. John watched as Tom smoothly manoeuvre Martha onto the dance floor and begin to dance with her, he began to figure out how to ask Rose without stumbling over his words or worse his feet.
"Can you dance?" Rose blurted out a faint pink tinge on her cheeks...imagine that Jack Harkness's sister blushing.
"Of course I can dance!" he said in a shocked voice...can he dance? He's not very sure. "I got the moves" he said more confidentially...he feels like he said it before.
"You got the moves?" Rose said cheekily "well show me your moves" she held out her hand to him and he reached out to take it, a part of him felt like they have done this before. He led her out onto the dance floor and placed a hand on her hip as she placed one of her hands onto his shoulder and they began to dance.

Jack yawned, he couldn't help it out of all the films to watch they had to watch Titanic...Jack suspected that Donna picked it out because the two main characters were called Jack and Rose...that and Donna might have a crush on Leonardo Di Caprio. Donna sighed and snuggled up to him, Jack wrapped an arm round her and decided that despite how boring the film was this might actually be fun considering the fact Donna Noble was cuddling up to him.
They were up to the part where Jack took Rose to the third class party when Jack snatched up the remote and turned it off.
"OI!" Donna shrieked "I was watching that Immortal-Boy!"
"I have seen this film 65 times, I have actually been on the Titanic and I died about five times that night. I really don't want to watch this" Jack snapped.
"If you died five times that night then why did you watch it 65 times hmm?" Donna said raising an eyebrow up.
"Ianto and Gwen like it" Jack mumbled.
"So you allowed them to bully you into watching it" Donna said disbelievingly.
"At the time...well still am in a way...what does it matter to you?" Jack snarled.
"You're in love with them" Donna breathed jumping away from him to the other side of the sofa "my god you sick bastard you're in love with them"
Jack snorted "you twenty first century backward ways, in my time this sort of thing was acceptable. Yes I do love them, Ianto is smart, sensible, organised and pretty much everything I'm not and Gwen is sweet, kind, loving and caring. But I messed up Donna, I picked the Doctor over them and they didn't wait for me, they moved on and found each other and I couldn't be happier for them"
"But..." Donna said slowly.
"But I miss having them with me all the time"
"You miss having sex with them" Donna corrected Jack.
"No me and Gwen never...just me and Ianto...I miss having their companionship, these days when I spend time with them I feel like a gooseberry. They're a lot like the Doctor and Rose, I often felt left out when I was with them"
"You just want to love and be loved in that soul mate way" Donna said sympathetically "I know what you mean. I seen how the Doctor looks when he thinks about Rose and I often wished that someone would look like that when they think of me. I seen how Ianto and Gwen act round each other and I wished I had someone to act like that with"
"I think I found my Gwen/Rose" Jack said staring at her intensely as he crawled on his knees towards her on the sofa.
"Oh?" Donna fell silent probably the first time ever in her whole life as she stared up at him. Suddenly Jack was leaning down as if the kiss her when someone began to bang on the door as if they were going to knock it down.
"JACK! JACK! JACK HELP!"
"What the hell, that's Tosh" Jack said jumping of the sofa and running to the door, he pulled it open and an out of breath Tosh nearly fell to the floor if it wasn't for the fact Jack caught her. "Tosh what is it? What's wrong?"
"It's Owen, they got Owen and now he's not Owen" Tosh said hysterically, tears falling down fast.
"Shh...Shh...Calm down sweetheart, tell me from the beginning" Jack cooed rubbing Tosh's back.
"The Family they got Owen, they're possessing him somehow and they're looking for the Doctor, they know that he's at the ball. Oh god I'm so sorry Jack!" Tosh buried her head into Jack's shoulder and sobbed.
Donna ran into her room and began to rummage through a draw of her bedside table noisily before pulling out a fob watch. "We need you" she whispered to it, it heated up in her hand in a questioningly way. "Don't argue with me Space-Boy" she snapped at the watch before pocketing it.
"Come on we got to go to the ball before the Family does" Jack said shrugging his coat on, "we may need to call Ianto and Gwen as well."
"On it" Donna said pulling her mobile out.
"What about Owen?" Tosh whispered.
"I'll do everything in my power to save him Tosh, I promise" Jack whispered to her.
