"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.


Rose watched the Doctor as he fiddled with some of the TARDIS's controls. Why was he a teen again? Did she not push the lever all the way on the machine? Rose was blaming herself for everything. Rose had fallen asleep about an hour before the Doctor stopped fiddling with the controls. When she woke up she was in her room. She got up and began walking to the console room. In there the Doctor was under the TARDIS's console looking at different wires.

"Good morning." Rose said.

She got no reply back. She cleared her throat.

"Not now Rose, I'm busy." The Doctor finally replied.

"Well sheesh sorry for being nice."

Rose walked off shocked by his response. He had never spoken to her in such a manner.

Rose sat in her room accompanied only by the TARDIS's telepathic field. Rose was becoming a little lonely now that she was stuck in the TARDIS with a moody two hundred and forty seven year old Doctor. Suddenly, it began snowing in her bedroom.

"What in the world?"

Rose swung open her doors and stormed out towards the console room. She noticed that different hallways had different weather patterns. By the time she got to the console room she had gone through three rainstorms, one blizzard, two sandstorms, and a tornado. She now was a mess, her clothes were dripping with sand particles stuck in her hair that, thanks to the tornado, looked like an afro.

"DOCTOR!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

The Doctor came out from under the console.

"Yes Ro-? Whoa. What in the world happened to you?"

"I don't know, how about you take a look?" She said angrily while pointing at the hallway behind her which currently was having a sandstorm.

"Oh. Whoops, I must have mixed up some wires."

Rose crossed her arms. "Are you even going to apologize?"

"Ugh, sorry Rose." He said, but clearly he did not mean it. Then he got back under the TARDIS's controls.

Rose's mouth hung wide open, she was shocked at how he had been acting lately. She quickly grabbed her purse and stormed over to the TARDIS's doors. The TARDIS sensed her anger and opened the doors for her.

"Oi, where are you going?" The Doctor asked right before she stepped out of the door.

"Somewhere I won't get rained on!" She replied then slammed the door.

Rose stormed off to the nearest café that had rooftop seating. She sat down with her elbow on the table and her fist on her cheek. Everything that was happening was taking an emotional toll on her. If she could get her Doctor back how would she explain any to this to him? Would he leave her if she told him? A tear escaped from Rose's eye when she thought of the Doctor leaving her. No. She then thought. She couldn't tell him. Rose then got back up and began walking back to the TARDIS. When she got back the Doctor was still under the control console messing with wires. How can he stay under there for so long? She began walking toward the TARDIS's kitchen.

"Had enough dryness?" The Doctor said.

Rose ignored him and kept walking, but picked up her pace. When she got to the doorway of the kitchen she forgot what she was going to get so she turned around and walked back to the console room. She decided that she would put up with the Doctor so she just sat on the railing and watched him work.

"Are you hungry?" She asked a few minutes later.

"Um, a little bit. What snacks do you eat on Earth?"

"Chips."

"What are chips?"

"They're like these cut potatoes with seasoning."

"Sounds weird. I like weird, let's eat them!"

Rose smiled. She had just taught the Doctor what chips were! She then grabbed her purse and walked to the door.

"Can I come?" The Doctor asked.

"Um, sure."

"Okay let me grab something."

"Well how about you meet me across the street at my house? I left my wallet in my room."

"Sure thing."

The Doctor then smiled and ran off and Rose walked out the doors. When she got into her house she immediately went to her room and grabbed her purse. On her way back out Jackie stood in front of her with hands on her hips.

"Where's the Doctor?" She asked.

"He's um, right behind you."

Jackie turned around and standing behind her was the Doctor. Just standing with a smile. Jackie immediately turned around to face Rose.

"I thought you turned him back!?"

"I thought I did too, but I guess not."

Jackie turned around, looked at the Doctor, and then walked away.

"So um, ready to go then?" The Doctor asked.

"Yeah."

The Doctor and Rose began crossing the road when suddenly a car came at lightning speed toward them. To the Doctor it all happened at once, to Rose it was all slow and agonizing. She had been hit. The Doctor couldn't pull her away in time.

"ROSE!"
