Bad Wolf and the Oncoming Storm [Book One: Back in Time]

.:Chapter Five:. No Time For Goodbye

     Rose hadn’t slept this soundly in a very long time. For a split second, she didn’t know where she was, but then she remembered what happened yesterday. She smiled to herself. She had her Doctor back.

   Wanting to take a bath, she got up, swinging her legs over the side of her bed, completely forgetting about the whole ‘Can’t walk without the risk of jumping’ thing.  

     Suddenly, The Doctor opened the door linking their rooms, and when he saw her about to get off the bed, he ran over.  “Rose, no!” he exclaimed, picking her up. “No walking. Where do you need to go?” He asked.

    “I was going to take a bath.” Rose said, wrapping her arms around his neck to steady herself. She looked at him. He was still in his pyjamas, which had little planets all over them. She snorted. “Nice jimjams, by the way.” She said.

    “Thanks, er..after your bath..I’m sure you don’t want me picking out your clothes.” said The Doctor.

     “Go over to my closet,” Rose said. “I can show you what to grab.”

     Still carrying her, The Doctor walked over to her closet. Even though he’s known her this long, he still couldn’t believe how many clothes she had. He thought that it must be a human thing.

     Rose pointed to the purple top she wore when she went with him to New Earth, a pair of shorts and a pile of bras and underwear. “Those,” she said, blushing slightly.

     The Doctor grabbed what she told him to get, blushing slightly as he picked up a random bra and some underwear.

     “Now, Allons-y! To the bathroom!” said Rose. The Doctor laughed, hearing her say ‘Allons-y’ and carried her to the bathroom.

     “Okay, here’s the plan. I’m going to set you down in the bathtub - while you’re still fully clothed, of course - and, er..put all of your clothes and a towel right there on the floor,” he pointed to the floor by the bathtub. “So you will still be able to reach them when you’re done taking your bath. When you’re dry and dressed, call my name, and I’ll come get you.”

     Rose nodded. “Thank you. I know this might be really, really, awkward, but I’m glad you’re still willing to do it..keep me here.” She said, knowing that this was indeed very very awkward.

     The Doctor smiled slightly. “I’m glad too,” he said. “I’ll be..well, somewhere. Remember, just call my name when you’re decent.”

     The Doctor set her down, and left the room, closing the door behind him. After he left, Rose got undressed and took a very long, relaxing, bath. When she was done, she got dressed, being extra careful.

     “Doctor!” she called, feeling a little stupid and helpless.

     The Doctor was sitting in his room, tinkering with his sonic screwdriver when he heard his name being called from Rose’s en-suite. He put the sonic screwdriver in his jacket pocket, went to Rose’s en- suite and picked her up.

      “Sorry I’ve got to carry you everywhere.” he said. And he meant it. He knew that not being able to walk around must be pure torture to Rose.

     “It’s fine,” said Rose. “I’ll hopefully get used to walking and not jumping randomly.” She laughed softly.

     “Maybe.” The Doctor chuckled and carried her to the console room, setting her down on the jumpseat. He leaned back against one of the walls. “So, what would you like to do today?” he asked Rose.

     “I don’t know, something that I can do without moving too much.” She pouted playfully.

     “Hmm..” The Doctor tried to think of something, but for once, he was out of ideas. A few minutes passed without either of them saying a word. The silence was comfortable for Rose, but she couldn't stand it any longer.

   “I think we should- “ Rose began, jumping off the jumpseat, not thinking at all. She was immediately cut off when she took a small step and disappeared, reappearing on an unfamiliar planet. She stumbled around, tears streaming down her face because she lost him again. She could not believe that she forgot she couldn't walk and she was angry at herself for being so stupid.

     “ROSE!” exclaimed The Doctor in despair, looking like he was about to cry. He ran his hands through his hair angrily. “I have to get her back.” he said.

     When the Doctor did the tests on Rose and found something different he did not think that it would be at all useful. The Doctor spun around the console room, hitting buttons and flicking switches here and there. He could the information he collected from Rose to track her to the planet in which she appeared at. He ran out the doors of the TARDIS, and ran towards her.

     Rose turned to see the TARDIS and her prin striped Doctor running towards her. She didn’t want to move, but she couldn’t just stand there. She started to run towards him, stretching her hand out. She just barely grazed his hand with her fingertips before she disappeared from him once again.
