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!"


Jackie came running out as soon as she heard Rose's name.

"Oh my god! Rose!"

"Help me get her into the TARDIS, the TARDIS will scan her in the medical bay."

Jackie nodded and picked up Rose's legs whilst the Doctor picked her up by her shoulders. Rose was gritting her teeth and breathing irregularly due to the immense pain. When they finally reached the medical bay they placed her down on the bed.

"I can just call 999!" Jackie insisted.

"No! They will check me to see if I'm okay too!"

"What's wrong with that!?"

"I have different anatomy, they'd probably dissect me like a frog!"

Then the Doctor ran across the room and began pressing buttons. A little later Jackie left to get some tea. When Rose saw that Jackie was gone she looked over at the Doctor, she tried to speak but she could only let out a groan. The Doctor immediately turned around and ran over to her.

"Rose I am so, so sorry."

Rose just gave him a little smile, stroked his cheek, and nodded.

"You're going to be fine, I promise. However, I need to put you to sleep."

Rose's eyes widened and she gained enough power to speak loud enough for the Doctor to hear.

"You're going to kill me!?"

"What! No! Never! Never ever, ever!"

Rose sighed and ran her hand down her face.

"So what's wrong with me?"

"Your right leg is broken, left ankle broken, there will probably be a pretty large bruise around your hip, and your head will probably hurt for a while."

"Oh."

Rose noticed that the Doctor kept making sad faces and was constantly looking down. He was feeling extremely guilty. Then Rose reached out her left hand and winced a little upon doing so, after all she did land on that hand and it kind of hurt. She then took hold of his hand when she could reach it. The Doctor quickly looked up with a shocked look on his face. Rose just smiled. There was a few moments of awkward silence but then Rose finally said, "So…are you going to fix me or not?"

"Oh. Yes, I will get to that right now."

The Doctor ran across the room and came back with a needle.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

Rose nodded and the Doctor poked it in her arm. Rose winced a little, but not long later the anesthetic kicked in and she was out.

Later that day she awoke, "Whoa!" She thought to herself, "That anesthetic lasts a really long time." Rose got up and put her feet on the floor. As soon as she realized what she had done she braced herself in preparation for the pain that was surely soon to come. However, nothing happened. Rose took a step further, still nothing. "Wow the Doctor has really outdone himself this time!" Rose thought as she slowly walked around the room. "Wait a minute…speaking of the little storm, where has he gone to now?" Rose began walking down the TARDIS's corridors in search for the Doctor. When she reached the TARDIS doors she stuck her hand out first to make sure no Doctors were going to fall on her again. After a minute she deemed it safe to go out, but the jumped out quickly just to be sure. "Ow!" She yelled when her right leg made contact with the ground after the jump. "Good enough for walking not for jumping." Rose took a mental note of that.

"DOCTOR!?"

No reply.

"DOCTOOOOOOOR!"

Then suddenly the TARDIS doors flung open from the inside.

"You okay Rose? I came as quick as I could?"

Rose stumbled backwards upon hearing the Doctor. "Oof!" She exclaimed.

"Oh hey there! Are you okay?" The Doctor said as he helped Rose up.

"Yeah thanks."

When Rose got up she was still looking down but when she realized she wasn't looking down on the Doctor's head she slowly looked up.
