Previously:

The Doctor was now very serious in his tone. "Rose, where did you get those photos?"

"Um…" Rose began.

"Rose, I'm being very serious. Where in all of time and space did you get these photos?"

"I…I… we-"

And suddenly Rose was interrupted by the Doctor crying out in pain.

"Aaaaagh!"

"Doctor! Doctor! Are you okay!?"

The Doctor was in too much agony to respond. He was gritting his teeth and holding on to Rose's hand so tightly that she thought he would break her bones. When the distress finally subsided he let go of Rose's hand. She quickly withdrew and looked at it. It was practically purple!

"Doctor! W-w-what happened?"

The Doctor responded through labored breathing, "I don't know…help me get to the TARDIS"

Rose hesitated to help him up, she didn't want to hurt him any further.

"NOW!" He finally yelled.

Rose did as he asked and helped him get to the TARDIS. When he stood up she noticed something startling: The Doctor had now seemed to be as tall as her!

"Uh, Doctor."

"Not now Rose, that pain wasn't natural. Being alive for over one thousand years you kind of develop a sense that-"

"DOCTOR!"

"WHAT!?"

When Doctor turned around to face Rose he followed her eyes down to where she was looking and he discovered that his long brown trench coat was touching the floor.

With widened eyes and a gaping mouth he exclaimed,

"No…no, no, no, no. How can that be!?"

"I'm as tall as you are."

"I noticed."

The Doctor turned around and began adjusting some controls. As he ran his hand through his hair he frantically looked at Rose and began yelling.

"I don't understand! How am I shorter?! How am I as tall as you?!"

He couldn't comprehend what was going on and that frightened him. Rose was a bit frightened herself; she had never seen The Doctor this agitated and alarmed. Then the Doctor ran back to work with the controls for a minute or so before he looked up at Rose again.

"Rose, TELL ME NOW. WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE PHOTOS?!" Rose retreated a bit because she had never heard him speak so harshly and emphatically, and it was scaring her.

"I-I…"

"WELL!?"
"I took the photos myself…"

"What?!"

"I… took the photos myself."

"But that's not possib-"

Suddenly, the Doctor's body seemed to be racked with a convulsion that caused him to fall to the ground and shriek in pain.

"DOCTOR!" Rose ran over the Doctor as quickly as she could.

However, he motioned her away. Rose slowly backed up and watched in horror as the Doctor screamed with anguish and tears welling up in his eyes. Then abruptly, he stopped. Rose immediately knelt down and checked for a pulse. He was still alive, just unconscious.

Rose dragged the Doctor's body to his room and placed him on his bed. "It's probably just some Time Lord phase," she thought to herself, "no big deal!" Half of her believed that, but the other half told her that he was injured and it was all her fault. She stayed with the Doctor and eventually fell asleep by his side.

When she woke up she noticed the Doctor wasn't in his bed. She got up out of her chair and began to search for him.

"Doctor?"

She got no reply. She ran out to the console room. No one was there. Rose looked up to the TARDIS's ceiling.

"TARDIS!"

The TARDIS shook gently in response to her call.

"Where has the Doctor gone?"

The TARDIS's doors opened." He must have gone out," Rose surmised. She quickly ran outside, but was knocked down by someone tumbling on her. She closed her eyes and slightly groaned at the pain of hitting the floor so hard.

"Sorry Rose, I was replacing the light bulb on top of the TARDIS. You came out as soon as I jumped down."

"That's quite alright, Doctor."

Rose opened her eyes to the Doctor laying on top of her. Her mouth dropped and she quickly got up.

"But that's… how are you… you're teen again!"

"I've always been a teen Rose. Well not always, but you know what I mean!"

The Doctor smiled and marched off into the TARDIS leaving Rose frozen and in confusion.

Yeeeep, the story isn't over yet! If anything that was only the beginning! I certainly hope you didn't think it would be that easy! Well actually it would make sense if you did. Anyway, I hoped you've enjoyed the story so far :)
