"How long will I have been gone?" Rose asked. They were flying back to the Powell Estate to see Jackie.
"Oh, I'd say maybe... A week or two?" the Doctor answered. "I hope she doesn't slap me again," he added, looking wary.
"Oh, I hope she does!" Rose said, grinning.
"Hey!"
"Just to see the look on your face," she explained. "It was priceless!"
The TARDIS landed in Jackie's living room, and Rose went to the door.
"Prepare yourself," she said sarcastically.
They walked out, and Jackie had Rose in a bear hug before she could blink.
"Oh, I missed you!" Jackie was saying repeatedly, hugging Rose and kissing her forehead. The Doctor was struggling not to laugh, and Rose scowled at him.
"Karma," he said. Then he filled the room with his laughter.
