Hi, here's the filler chapter, this should lead from the end of Tooth and Claw into School reunion quite nicely I think. Anyway here we go.

The Tardis was now in the Time Vortex. Rose and the Doctor sat down on the captain's chair, side by side, the Doctor had his arm around his wife and she was leaning her head on his shoulder. Just looking at her, the Doctor could tell that she was exhausted. "Come on." he said standing up and pulling her to her feet.

"Where are we going?" she asked as he led her towards the rest of the ship.

"To get some sleep." he replied "Rose, you're exhausted, you need it."

"Fine." she said as she followed him to their bedroom. They entered the room and both changed for bed and got in. The Doctor wrapped his arms around her as she fell asleep and he watched her for a while before falling asleep himself.

The next morning, the Doctor awoke first, he somehow managed to get out of bed without disturbing Rose and then he dressed and headed for the kitchen, where he did something extremely domestic, he made breakfast. When it was ready he put it on a tray and carried it back to their bedroom, he opened the door and found that Rose was still asleep. He smiled down at her and put the tray on the bedside table, he then sat down on the edge of the bed and gently woke her up. She smiled up at him and he returned it. She sat up, kissed him and then looked to her right and saw the tray. "Is that for us?"

"Yep." said the Doctor, popping the 'p' as he usually did in this body. He took the cups of tea off it first and handed her hers. They then ate their breakfast and then Rose got ready for the day.

The two were standing in the console room "D'you want to try to see Ian Dury again?" the Doctor asked

"No." Rose answered "I'd rather spend today in here with you if you don't mind."

The Doctor smiled at her and stopped setting the coordinates that he'd began to set when he'd asked the question "That's fine."

Suddenly a ringing sound filled the room "That had better not be your mother." the Doctor said as she pulled out the phone

"It's Mickey." she said and she answered it "Hello."

"What? Oh, right. Why don't you ask him yourself, he's standing right next to me. Hold on." she put him on hold and turned to the Doctor "He wants to speak to you."

"Fine." Rose took him off hold and handed the phone to the Doctor

"What is it? Really? OK, sounds like something we should check out. We'll be there soon." He hung up the phone and returned it to his wife. "So much for spending the day here." he said "He wants us to check out a school."

"Are we going to?"

"Something's messing with the children, of course we're gonna check it out." he said as he set the coordinates for the Powell Estate.

When the Tardis landed, they quickly removed their wedding rings and Rose removed her engagment ring and then put them in a safe place. When they had done that, they got Mickey to take them to this school and both of them got jobs.

Okay, I know this is short, but I'm leaving the shop soon, so I decided to post this now, so that I could start on School Reunion (There will be extra stuff in it)

TTFN
