Oh, hello there! I didn't notice you! Well, as long as you're here, why don't you take a seat by the fire *gestures to a red couch* while I read you a story? Great, *clears throat* *snaps fingers and a book appears in hands* *opens storybook* 'Once upon a time, there was a dog who. . .,' oh. You'd rather me read Can't Get Rid Of Me? Hmm. Well then. But if you change your mind, *puts book down* 'What The Dog Knows' is an excellent book. Actually, I've never read it! But I assume it is. *clears throat* *speaks in British accent* Okay! Would you care for a cup of tea while I read to you the second chapter? Or perhaps, some chips? Oh, I love chips. Rose Tyler certainly does too. The Doctor also. . .Oh, what's that? *listens intently to you* Get on with the story and quit stalling? Oh, I'm not stalling!

That's a funny word though. Stalling. Stalling. Stalling. Sta-ll-ing. Okee, perhaps I am stalling just a tiny bit. Anyway, on with the story!

Allon-sy! Fantastic! Geronimo! Allon-sy again! ~R-T-K

One Day|

Rose Tyler stared at herself in the mirror. The bump was gone. She didn't look any different. But she felt different. Her head was pounding, her chest was burning, pretty much all of her was hurting. The tips of her fingers were tingling. She hadn't slept at all last night. Literally. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw images of Torchwood and people dying. Tonight wasn't much different. It was 2:30 am. The fact that she had left her mother was finally sinking in, and tears began spilling down her cheeks. She locked herself in the bathroom and slid down the wall, sobbing. She brought her knees to her chest and buried her face in her hands. She was in so much pain, and crying didn't help. But she just wanted to cry and cry even more. Her ears were ringing.

Soon, the collar of her shirt was soaked, along with her hands. After another minute of sobbing, she heard a knock on the door. Her head shot up, and she dried her tears. Rose straightened herself out and opened the door. The Doctor was standing there, wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans. He was also wearing his brainy specs that Rose thought were seriously sexy. But she couldn't focus on that. "Rose?" She broke down and began crying again. He pulled her into his chest, wrapping his arms around her. He kissed the top of her head. "Rose," he muttered, breathing in the scent of her shampoo. "I-I had a. . ." she stuttered between sobs. "I had a. . .Nightmare. I saw Torchwood, and my mother was. . .Gone. And I got stuck in the Void and. . ." She stopped herself. "Rose, it's only a nightmare," he whispered.

"But it'll all be real one day!" she snapped. "I'll be gone, and you'll be alone! Then you'll change everything about yourself and move on and find another companion and I'll just be something from the past. And while you're talking with your new companion, maybe a Debby or an Emma, you'll say, 'I remember this girl Rose. . .' and then I'll just be another memory!" The Doctor smoothed the back of her hair with his hand and shushed her. "Rose, don't say that," he said. "It's true though," she whispered, crying more and more. "Will I end up like Sarah-Jane Smith? Or, something different, something worse?" "Rose, stop talking like that," he said, more forcefully. "You'll never be just another memory. One day, I might find a Debby. Or, maybe an Emma who works for Torchwood." She giggled a little, her supply of tears growing low.

He smiled and continued, "But I'll always remember you. Debby will leave because she misses her boring, old life on Earth, and Emma will get married and perhaps get a dog. But you're different. I. . ." He couldn't go on. He couldn't tell her. Those simple three words she had been dying to hear since forever. And he couldn't say them. Those words eluded him so. A Time Lord and a human. A brilliant, beautiful human. Rose Tyler and the Doctor. The last of his kind, and the first of something new. Something he had never seen in a human before. She wasn't just a primitive ape, barely learning to walk. She was completely different. He noticed it in her the first time he ever held her hand and said, "Run!"

She lifted her head, her tears finally stopping, and stared into his brown eyes. "What?" she asked. "Huh?" She giggled at the way he was acting. Blushing, looking nervous, cutting off his sentences. . .It was adorable. "You stopped talking." He cocked his head, confused. "Oh, right!" he exclaimed, realizing what she meant. He cleared his throat, thinking of a way to get out of the situation. "Weeell," he started, stretching out the 'e'. "I just meant. . .Err, well. . .Goodness Rose, why do you have to be so observant right now?" She started laughing uncontrollably at this, forgetting that just moments ago she felt as though she held the weight of the universe on her shoulders. He grinned at the sight of her laughing. It was the most beautiful sound ever to him. "Well, come on then!" he said, releasing her and gripping her hand.

Rose smiled, flashing him her famous tongue-between-teeth grin. "Let's go! We should go to Bellona! Although named after the Roman goddess, Bellona, the goddess of war, this planet is very beautiful and peaceful! It was also named after a spaceship, Bellona 83, because they were attacked by it and destroyed every last bit of it! Still a great place, home to the Bellanes. . ." She let the Doctor ramble on as they made their way to the control room. She was completely content with going anywhere, as long as he was with her. When they reached their destination, he let go of her hand. "They have excellent banana groves there, as well!" She laughed. He was entirely too obsessed with bananas. "And. . .What?" There was a yellow flash of light and slowly a lady materialized in the TARDIS.

She had a wedding dress on and ginger hair. Rose glanced at the Doctor, stifling a laugh. He had always wanted ginger hair. She turned around and gasped. "What?" he and Rose asked together. "Who are you? Where am I?" the lady demanded. "What?"

Yep, dats mah secret episode/chapter! I had to make this, just so I could put in a little bit of Ten/Rose fluff! :3 And don't worry, they'll admit their feelings for each other soon, one day. He he. . . :)
