A/N: Firstly, to whoever still reads these Authors' Notes considering how much I ramble in them, I congratulate you!
I should probably give Gone and marinafrm there cookies now before I forget *passes cookies* but that was the easy part, there is another part to the tale which could be half guessed from what's happened so far!
It took me longer to write this one as it was strange to write a chapter with them out of school! I couldn't really find a way to do this inside of school!
Thanks for the reviews and follows! I'm still amazed at the amount! And once again, reviews would be appreciated.
The Doctor and Rose stood on a driveway leading up to great a large house. The Doctor was wearing a brown suit with a brown tie and his typical long brown coat. Rose felt a little underdressed, having gone for a casual look, wearing jeans and a jacket.
The Doctor looked at Rose before deciding to hold his arm out for her to take. She did! Grinning, the Doctor turned back to the large house and led the way up the drive.
When he reached the door, the Doctor would have happily used the knocker to knock on the door (he always loved doing that!) but Rose was too quick and beat him to it, much to his disappointment.
The door was opened by a girl his age with quite long ginger hair. "Refreshments are in the kitchen, go straight down the corridor, second door on your right," She spoke with a Scottish accent and pointed down the corridor as she was giving the directions out.
"Thank you," The Doctor replied politely as he stepped through the door. They walked down the long corridor and past the staircase to the Doctor's left. As they got closer to the room the girl had given them directions to, the Doctor could hear the party music getting louder.
Entering the room, the Doctor was amazed at how large it was. At a guess, he would estimate that around ninety students from his and Rose's school year were in that one room. In fact, it looked like it was designed for parties! The Doctor decided that he liked this room; it was a handy room. He grabbed a can of pop from the refreshment table and handed Rose the can. She thanked him before opening it and taking a sip. Meanwhile, the Doctor had pulled a banana out of his pocket and begun eating it. "You brought banana?" Rose stared at him in disbelief.
The Doctor swallowed, "As I said. Always take a banana to a party! In fact, take a bunch of bananas!" He grinned, pulling a bunch of bananas out of his coat pocket to show her, before placing them neatly back into his pocket.
"How do you fit all that in there?" The Doctor didn't reply. Instead, he just sent a wink her way.

Rose never usually went to parties. In fact, she wasn't that fond of parties however, since the Doctor had asked her to go, she couldn't have said no! If she had said no, she was certain she would be in her room kicking herself, instead of in a room with the Doctor.
She still felt a little guilty that they hadn't mentioned the party to Mickey however she wasn't going to let that ruin her night and pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
She laughed to herself when she saw some people dancing. She turned to the Doctor and opened her mouth, about to ask the Doctor if he wanted to dance. She didn't get a chance to though, as before she could ask, she heard someone shouting her name. Both the Doctor and Rose looked around, trying to find the source of the shouting: Elisabeth.
"Rose!" Elisabeth exclaimed, as she half-ran towards the pair, her heels slowing her down. "I didn't know you were going to be here! I want to show you something, come! You'll never guess what!" Elisabeth began to pull Rose away and Rose glanced at the Doctor, trying to get help from him.
~CHS~
The Doctor just laughed as Rose got dragged away. He considered stepping in to help her, then decided it would be faster to let Elisabeth quickly show Rose whatever it was she wanted to show her (most likely some girl stuff he wouldn't understand) than argue. He just hoped Rose wouldn't be too long. He had brought her here so he could get to know before about her. He never usually went to parties. In fact he wasn't that fond of parties which was why he always took bananas with him when he was dragged to one: to make parties more fun. He had only decided to come to this one since he had gathered that girls liked parties.
"You're John Smith, right?" A voice sounded behind him. The Doctor turned to see the girl with ginger hair behind him. It was now that the Doctor noticed she was wearing a red t-shirt with a short skirt and tights. He smiled slightly.
"Yeah, you can call me Doctor if you like," The Doctor told her then realised he should probably explain. "It's a nickname, friends call me, well, you know, the Doctor!"
"Okay then, Doctor, I'm Amy Pond," She introduced herself, smiling at the Doctor's blabbering.
"Amy Pond," The Doctor frowned, trying to think of where he had seen that name before. "Amy Pond!" He exclaimed, shouting. "Happy Birthday!" He grinned manically at her.
"Thanks," Amy said slowly, unsure how to respond to the boy's craziness. "Anyway, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here for the party," The Doctor replied, confused, both indicating and looking other his shoulder at the rest of the people who were also there for the party. "I do have an invite," He added when he turned back to her and flashed the envelope he had received before his Biology lesson.
"I was under the impression that you didn't like parties," Amy replied, folding her arms.
"Me, what? No! I love parties. Best things in the world – parties," The Doctor lied.
"Really? I don't really like them but Rory said it was a must that I did," Amy informed him. The Doctor cursed himself, why hadn't he just told the truth? Maybe there was still a way to save it.
"I was being sarcastic just then," The Doctor told her. "I'm not a big fan of parties."
"Then what are you doing here?" Amy questioned, confused, but enjoying the conversation.
"What are you doing here?" The words were out of the Doctor's mouth before he could stop them. He could have kicked himself, but that would have made him look even crazier, than he had probably already come across as so he avoided that idea. Thankfully, Amy laughed so the Doctor just hoped she thought it was a joke and that he wasn't laughing at her. The Doctor forced himself to laugh too, that way it would look more like he was joking. He just couldn't understand why he was making such a fool of himself in front of her.
A sudden scream stopped the Doctor from laughing. It sounded like it came from upstairs. Looking around, it looked as if no one heard anything. Was he just imagining it? He decided to check it out anyway and ran for the door.
"Where are you going?" Amy called after him.
"I'll be back in five minutes, promise," The Doctor promised, avoiding her question. He sent her a quick smile before racing out of the room.
The long hallway didn't seem quite as long when he was running and the Doctor reached the staircase faster than he thought he would. He skidded around the corner and scrambled up the stairs.
Reaching the top floor, he found Elisabeth backed up against the wall, staring at a door. The Doctor's eyes widened when he saw the door was on fire. "Where's Rose?" He questioned, looking straight at Elisabeth, hoping his fears weren't about to come true.
"Doctor!" The Doctor heard Rose's voice behind him. He turned to see the burning door. She was in that room.
