Amy leaned against the booth chair. It was old and worn and the red leather was faded. It was still comfortable though which was good because they had been waiting for over half an hour.
She picked up her legs and crossed them underneath her. John sat next to her. His leg shook nervously as he tapped his finger against the table.
Amy was about to tell John that the person they were waiting for wasn't going to show up when the curtains were pushed back and a tall man slid into the booth across from them.
"Hello Doctor, long time no see. New companion? Hey, Captain Jack Harkness." He reached his hand out for Amy to shake flashing her a beautiful smile.
"Don't you dare Jack, she's married." Jack gave Amy another look that made her blush. "And I'm not the Doctor."
"You're not? You sure look like him."
"I'm the meta crisis clone." Jack nodded and then turned to look at Amy.
"And who, might I ask, is the red head?" John turned to look at Amy. Frustrated that the man was being so flirtatious/
"You can slap him if you want to."
"Right so what are we looking for?" Rory asked River as they stood in the middle of the large library. She took down a large stack of books and started to search through their indexes.
"Anything to bring my husband home, any mention of him or Rose."
"Right, well I don't think we're going to get very far." Rory pulled out a drawer from a filing cabinet in a large line of filing cabinets. "We can't possibly go through everything.
"We do what ever it takes Rory."
"So what you're saying is that you lost Rose and the Doctor." Jack said leaning over so that he could hear John clearly.
John sighed, "If you have to phrase it that way, yes."
"So why do you need me?"
"Well, we thought you might know where they were."
"Nah sorry, haven't heard anything." John moaned and dropped his face onto the table. "I can help you look though."
Amy spoke up for the first time, "do you have any idea where we could look? Who we could ask?"
"Oh, she's Scottish! Sorry lass, I have no idea. We could check the torchwood files. They went back into the past right? So we just have to check every year after that, so what year was it?"
"Five billion twenty three." He said lifting his head up to look at Jack.
"Right so we have a lot of looking to do." Jack stood up and left the booth. John stood up next grabbing Amy's hand so he didn't lose her.
"Rose are they boarding yet?" the Doctor turned around in his seat towards the woman next to him who was reading a book she had bought earlier.
"No, we still have another hour."
"I need to do something, I need to eat something."
"Well we could go get some food if you want." Before she could say anything else he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards an area filled with restaurants. "Right so do you want McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, or Wendy's?"
"I don't know what's good?"
"I don't know Wendy's is okay I guess." He rubbed his hands together and then hungrily walked up to the counter.
"Yes, hello I'll have a hamburger with some chips please." The woman stared at him.
"We don't have chips."
"Oh right we're in America!" He hit himself on the head, "how could I be so forgetful, I'll have a hamburger and some fries." She nodded and processed his order.
"I'll have the same, 'cept no pickles and a lemonade." Rose said walking up behind him.
"No pickles! But they're one of the best parts." Rose sighed and then rolled her eyes.
"No they're not, they're disgusting. I don't see how you could like them."
"Because Rose, they're delicious." After being handed their food they started to walk back to their spot.
"Oh Doctor do you want to buy a book? That might buy you some time." She pulled him into a book store and took one off of the shelf. "Oh I heard that this one's good."
"That would take me twenty minutes to read. Twenty two tops."
"Right," she handed the book to the Doctor and then took one of each of the top selling books off the shelf and handed them to him. "So there's twenty books here do you think that will last you until we get to our layover?"
"Yes, yes I think so. Can we go eat now?" Rose nodded as they walked over and paid for the books.
"What book are you reading?" The Doctor said turning to Rose.
"Oh it's, it's nothing." She slid the book into her jacket.
"If it was nothing you would show it to me. What is it?"
"It's nothing really, just a cheesy book I found."
"About what?" his childish grin grew wider as he popped another fry into his mouth.
"I'm only telling you this because I know you, and I know you won't drop it unless I tell you. It's about a girl and she meets this man who is a time traveler," the Doctor raised his eyebrows but before he could say anything she continued, "And she falls in love with him but they can never be together because he's always in the wrong time." She placed the book back in her lap and started to play with her wedding ring again. "I'm not finished with it yet. Some of us read at a normal pace."
"Rose Tyler did you just say you knew me? And that you're reading a romance novel about a time traveler?"
"I do, know you that is. You're the Doctor."
"You didn't act that way before."
"It just took a while. You're the Doctor and I've missed you. You were my best friend you know?"
"I know Rose, you were mine too." He reached his arm around her and hugged her tightly, "We'll find them, somehow we'll find them."
