Hitting the 80s

"Are you two ready yet?" The Doctor cried in exasperation. The two were taking so long; he'd given up the will to live about half an hour ago.

Donna and Rose walked up to him arm in arm, identical grins of mischief on their faces that made him suspect that they'd been ready for ages, and had only pretended to be busy to annoy him. But, then again, they were women.

Donna had curled her hair and Rose had re-straightened hers- it hung in luscious yellow curtains around her face, the ends swishing as she walked. Rose had darkened her eyes and was wearing skinny blue jeans with a white top that had a thick black belt across the middle of it. She was wearing black stiletto boots and a vibrant red jacket to finish the look.

Donna was wearing a similar outfit to Rose; she had shaded her eyes in blue – a lovely thick blue that suited her hair- and had gone for a white top with a yellow belt. She too wore skinny jeans- this time black. She was wearing stiletto boots only slightly different to Rose's, with a jacket that was a vivid shade of yellow.

"So what do you think? Do we look like we belong in the 80s?" She asked, and the Doctor examined them carefully, a professional frown of critic on his face.

The Doctor looked up and smiled widely at her.

"Beautiful, you both look beautiful."

"Aren't you gonna get changed?" Rose asked, smiling at the Doctor whilst Donna tried to work out whether the 'beautiful' comment from the Doctor had been appropriate or not. She gave up in the end- compliments were compliments, at the end of the day. Not matter if they've come from a deluded space-man.

"Nah, you know me Rose Tyler- I just blend in."

"Yeah you've done a great job of blending in everywhere else we've been." Rose said, raising an eyebrow.

"She's got a point." Donna said, following suit. The Doctor splayed his hands at them.

"We'll just blend in this time. I promise." The Doctor said flashing his cheeky smile at the two, and the doubt on their faces melted; who could resist that boyish smile? They sure couldn't.

"Come on then, off we go. After you, ladies?"

Donna and Rose looked at each other with a beaming smile- they were so excited to see the 80s.

They walked out of the TARDIS doors and found themselves in a back street; dark, dank and close to a park.

The Doctor stepped out behind them.

"At least the TARDIS is secure." He murmured, giving the old machine an affection pat.

"Yeah but where are we?" Donna said, glancing around curiously and hugging her jacket closer to her. There was a chill in the alley, and the cold was seeping right through her jacket.

"London, I think?" Rose asked the Doctor.

"Yeah." The Doctor said picking up a newspaper off of the floor. He scanned the cover quickly and read out, "Its May 15th- 1983."

"1983." Rose asked.

"Yep." The Doctor said popping the 'p'.

"Why? What's wrong Rose?" Asked Donna, noticing the younger girl's frown.

"Nothing. I mean, it's just …I wasn't born until 1986."

"Oh God, you're making me feel old." Donna said, wincing.

"Oh yeah? Try being nine hundred and five." The Doctor remarked causing both Rose and Donna to laugh. Their chuckles rebounded off the high brick walls, enveloping them in the sound of echoing laughter.

They didn't notice the three men and the woman running towards them. The Doctor eventually noticed when they were less than ten feet from them, and cried out a warning to his companions that was lost in the sound of the approaching feet; Donna moved but Rose only looked round. A young man in his late twenties, with blonde hair and a leather jacket ran head-first into Rose. With a strangled yelp, the two went flying.

"Oops, sorry, love." The young man said to her as he pushed himself up.

He stared at Rose for a second and looked deep into her eyes. She froze- the eyes were so deep, so welcoming she felt she could drown in them forever…

She heard a shout from up front.

"Come on Chris- we've got criminals to catch!"

"Coming, Ray." Chris finally looked away to snap at his friend, before he smiled at Rose and ran after the man he'd called Ray.

"Sorry about Chris." The woman left behind apologised. She offered her slender hand to help Rose up; the bruised blonde took it gratefully and hauled herself to her feet.

"Don't worry about it." Rose shrugged absently as she watched Chris and Ray vanish around the distant corner, in hot pursuit of the supposed 'criminal'. "It happens."

She stood up and dusted herself off- sighing as she caught sight of the muddy streak on the back of her jeans. That was going to take forever to get out.

"Hi, I'm Alex Drake." The woman said, holding out her hand again.

Rose took the proffered hand and smiled. "Rose. This is the Doctor and that there is Donna."

"Great to meet you." Alex said, nodding at the Doctor and Donna.

"Thanks for helping me up. Unlike some people." Rose said, snarling the last bit at the Doctor.

He didn't say anything as Alex smiled warmly at Rose.

"Bols!" Her smile vanished as a commanding voice filled the air around her. She shot Rose a sheepish look as a taller guy appeared beside her. "Are you being paid to just stand there and talk when we've got a criminal to catch? I think not. Get going."

"Yes, Guv." Alex meekly ran after the receding Guv, waving a regretful goodbye to Rose and the Doctor as she went.

"Doctor! You could have helped me up." Now that Rose's new-found friend had scampered off like an obedient puppy, Rose turned her attention on the Doctor.

"You seemed to be perfectly happy staring into that guy's eyes." He snapped.

"A girl can't help it if she's irresistible to the opposite sex." Rose said smiling teasingly at him.

"Oh, I dunno." Donna cut in. "I wouldn't mind a piece of the one she's chasing after!"

"Donna Noble!" The Doctor said, shocked.

"What?" Donna looked at him innocently. "Rose is allowed to flirt with a guy but I'm not? Justify yourself, space man!"

"We are not here for flirting." He stuttered back, red patches appearing on his cheeks.

"It's a bit of fun, that's all. You flirt with everything that moves."

"Do not." The Doctor said taken aback at the direction the argument had taken.

"Do too." Donna retorted. "River Song, Astrid. At least I didn't get it on with some French tart!"

"How did--" The Doctor began to ask, but a shout cut him off-

"Ok, calm down children!" Rose cried, and immediately they shut up and stared at her.

She smiled at them both. "I have a feeling the 80s is gonna be fun." Rose stated, with a mile-wide smile on her face.

There you go, hope you enjoyed the chapter (:
