These are what I like to call domestic scenes between adventures and I figured that since this is Roses second time going through adventures she would have more of an idea about how to get the Doctor to open up about himself.

A few hours later Rose had just finished a shower where the TARDIS had laid out some fresh clothes for her to wear. Placing a hand on the wall and sending a thanks to the TARDIS, The usual jeans and t shirt when she found the Time Lord in the library reading.

"Evening," Rose greets as she wanders in.

The Doctor raised his eyebrows at her. "There's no evening on the TARDIS," the Doctor explained.

"And yet she still managers to let us know what time it is," Rose counters.

The Doctor watched her as she browsed the shelves of books. He noticed how she seems to know her way around without being told and that she addressed the TARDIS like she was a living being. Then he noticed the fact that the TARDIS seems to have moved a collection of books onto the same shelf and when he saw Rose peruse them, realised that the TARDIS had moved books she thought Rose might like. His ship had never acted that way with another person other than him before. It was when Rose bent down to get a better look at a book that his thoughts turned un Time Lord like and his trousers seemed tighter than they should be.

Rose could feel the TARDIS's amusement at something and sent out an inquiry. What she got back surprised her, apparently the Doctor was thinking about her as more than a friend. Rose decided she might as well start trying to get him to open up and figuring that he's always happy to talk about the TARDIS she'd start there.

Rose slowly walked over and sat next to the Doctor and waited for him to stop pretending to read. Once he lowered his book and looked at her she started. "Would you tell about the TARDIS?"

"What would you like to know?" The Doctor questioned.

Rose thought about it for a bit. "Everything, how she travels in time, how she gets in your head. Anything, everything."

Rose was afraid she'd said something wrong when the Doctor looked at her in confusion. "How do you know the TARDIS is a she, how do you even know that she's alive?"

"Ahh, cause she gets in my head, you said," Rose reminded him. "I just assumed that she can interrupt what you need plus I came out of the shower thinking I'd have to put on my dirty clothes because I didn't have any with me when she had clean clothes laid out on my bed. And she has to be a she, cause she actually has good taste," Rose finished as she indicated the clothes she was wearing.

The Doctor felt the TARDIS's amusement as Rose explained and he had to concede that she had a point. For a 21st century human she seems to be taking things alright. "Ok so I'll tell you a little about the TARDIS."

For the next three hours the Doctor explained how the TARDIS is connected to the Time Vortex through her central console which enables her to travel through time and space. He also explained how the TARDIS was old and decommissioned before he decided to borrow her.

Rose laughed softly as he said he borrowed her. "You stole her didn't you?"

The Doctor looked insulted that she could ever believe that he could steal anything. "Of course not, I always planned on taking her back."

Rose laughed again as the TARDIS chimed at what the Doctor stated. "I think she's trying to tell you that she had no intention of letting you take her back. So how long has it been since you 'borrowed' the TARDIS?"

"About 900 years give or take," the Doctor answered seeing if he could shock her cause she seems to be taking everything a little too well.

"So your what, 900 years old? Or was that only how long you've had the TARDIS for?" She never thought to question him the first time.

The Doctor grimaced a little. "I'm more around 1200 years old," the Doctor said uncomfortably. Before Rose could continue to question him he continued explaining the TARDIS to Rose. Rose let it drop seeing how uncomfortable he is, talking about himself. By the time the Doctor had finished explaining the TARDIS, with half being in technobabble that a silly ape wouldn't be able to understand he realised that Rose had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Smiling softly, which he'll deny later, he gently removed himself and laid her down on the couch they had been sitting on. His eyebrows Rose when he saw a pink blanket resting on the back of the couch that he knows was not there when he sat down. He covered Rose with the blanket and quietly left the room to talk to the TARDIS in the console room.

The Doctor sat in the captains chair as he stared at the console. "Why do you like Rose so much?" The TARDIS sent him images of him both before and after he met her and he had to admit that he looked a lot happy after he met Rose. "But she also seems to know her way around you as well?" The Doctor continued to question. The TARDIS refused to answer any of his questions about Rose and threatening to drop Rose back home yielded no results either as the TARDIS refused to move anywhere at all.

The Doctor gave up after awhile as the TARDIS refused to answer most of his questions and when he threatened to ask Rose she threatened him. The TARDIS has never threatened him before, sure she's hidden all his bananas or changed rooms on him before but she never threatened to stick him in a time loop before. Giving up, the Doctor stomped towards his room, figuring he might as well get some sleep since it's almost been two months since he last slept.

He went to open his bedroom door and found himself walking into the library where Rose was still asleep. Frowning he walked back out and continued down the hallway till he found his bedroom door, he opened it and walked in to find himself back in the library. Frowning he questioned the TARDIS. "What are you doing?" The TARDIS sent him an urgent message.

A moan from Rose drew his eye and he realised she seems to be having a nightmare. The always helpful TARDIS widened the coach as she urged him to comfort her. Confused as to how the TARDIS wants him to comfort her he sat next to her and reached out to try and wake her. The moment he touched her she seemed to calm down, he snatched his hand back and he saw her brow furrowed before the nightmare seemed to grasp her again.

Still confused the Doctor reached out and grasped her shoulder and Roses brow cleared instantly as she quieted. The Doctor took of his jacket and lay down next to Rose as he kept his hand on her shoulder, the moment he was lying next to her, Rose rolled over and flung her arm over the Doctors waist. Swallowing hard and trying to stop another part of his anatomy from rising he wrapped one arm around Rose as he fell asleep.

Rose woke up refreshed and feeling better than she had in years, as her mind started waking up everything that happened to her came rushing back in. She grinned brilliantly, she had made it back to the first Doctor she met and they went on their first adventure together. She also met Jack again, though he doesn't look the way that she last saw him. It was as she put her hand out to rise that she realised her cheek was lying on something soft, and moving. Lifting her head slightly she looked up to find the Doctors blue eyes staring back.

The moment the Doctor woke up he felt more rested then he had before the war in fact he was more rested than he has been since he started his travels. A pressure on his chest alerted him to something and when he looked around he realised that he was lying on the coach in the library and there was another presence in the room.

Looking down the Doctor found Roses eyes looking back at him. "Mornin'," the Doctor greeted.

Rose grinned quickly. "Thought there was no mornin' or evenin' on the TARDIS?" Rose questioned as she noticed the Doctor uncomfortable look.

The Doctor returned her grin as the uncomfortable feeling started subsiding. Rose and the Doctor got up and Rose lead the Doctor to the kitchen so she could cook them something to eat. "You know the TARDIS can just whip something up to eat?"

"I'm sure she can, but why make her do all the work," Rose questioned as the TARDIS chimed in agreement.

Once they finished breakfast the Doctor set the TARDIS to random and they went on more adventures. The Doctor was relived that not once did she mention finding him wrapped around her on her first night in the TARDIS.

Since the Doctors closeset relationship is with the TARDIS I thought it would be the best place to start at getting the Doctor to open up.
