Ok, late, again. I'm sooooo sorry. I got really sick over the holidays and couldn't write. I hope you really like this one!

Chapter Six -Empty Shell?

Rose sat back and watched as the Doctor worked. At first he didn't seem to be doing much, a lot of staring and walking back and forth between the Psychic-graft and the switch that turned it on. After a while he started fiddling with his sonic screw driver, twisting it to different setting, looking, she hoped, for the right one to save her. She could feel Carivina at the back of her mind now all the time. She could feel Carivina fighting for control, and she could also feel her control slipping away second by second. Jack was sitting next to her, his hand resting lightly on hers. She wanted to stand and pace or something, anything to not be sitting here waiting. But she knew that impulse came from Carivina and so she sat where she was, not moving but to breath.

Jack didn't have to look over at Rose to know she was staring fixedly at the Doctor, not moving, hardly breathing. He was sure she had more going on they what he could see on the outside. He wondered if Rose could hear Carivina inside her head but he didn't want to ask. Every once and a while Rose would shake her head ever so slightly and then take a deep breath. Jack was starting to worry a little, he hoped the Doctor hurried.

Ever single breath Rose took tore at the Doctor. He knew if he didn't figure this out fast enough they may lose Rose for good. He wanted to look back at her, reaffirm that she was still herself. But he couldn't bare to see the hope in her eyes, what if it didn't work? He could feel her eyes on his back, waiting for him to fix it, to make it right. She was depending on him and he was scared. What if this time, when it mattered most, he failed her? He was getting there, at lest he thought he was. He could feel the answer just out of sight, just around the corner. He just had to find it, fast.

Suddenly Rose pulled her hand away from the Jack and looked over at him. Her face was contorted in pain. She reached up and put her hand to her forehead before she doubled over in pain. The Doctor looked back at them and rushed over.

"Rose?" He asked pulling her face up so her could look at her, so he could see her eyes.

"I'm sorry" Rose cried as she clamped her eyes closed tears leaking out as she inhaled deeply. She turned her head slightly to Jack and opened her eyes a little. "Jack, make sure-" She cut herself off with a sharp intake of breath, she let it out in a shuttered breath. "Make sure she doesn't hurt anyone"

"Rose?" He asked caught off guard by the pain on her face, it had never hurt before to switch over, but now, now it seemed different.

"Promise me!" Rose demanded her voice was weak but to Jack it felt almost as if she had yelled.

"I promise" Jack assured her nodding his head as he put his hand on her back. The Doctor had her hands in his as she started to shake, the tremors making both Jack and the Doctor shake slightly.

"I'm sorry" She choked out seconds before her whole body went limp. Of course that only lasted for a few moments.

"Get off of me!" She cried standing up abruptly. Jack fell backwards as did the Doctor, both landing a foot away from her.

"Free" She said giddily as she looked at both of them. "Finally free" Then she turned her eyes on the Doctor and glared. "Didn't think I could do it, did you?" She snarled at him as she took a step towards him. "Didn't think I could beat her, did you?" She demanded looking down at him as he shook his head in denial.

"No" he denied, refusing to believe it. "No, she's still in there, I know she is" He told her looking up at her, looked her right in the eyes. He almost recoiled at what he saw there. Pure gold, not even the slightest amounts of green, Rose was really and truly gone. She nodded her head as he realized the truth. He had failed, failed to save her, and in doing so damned himself.

She reached over and plucked the sonic screwdriver out of his hand with little effort. The Doctor hardly even seemed to be trying now. She stood up to her full height and looked down at the Doctor. Then she looked down at the screw driver, she twisted it a little with a sneer on her face.

"So nice of her to leave me her memories" She mocked as she pointed it down at the Doctor. She was so preoccupied with the Doctor that she momentarily forgot about Jack, and that moment was going to cost her. Jack stood up slowly and pulled out his gun, happy that he had strapped it on before they left. He switched it down a few notches then took aim and fired. The energy hit her in the back and the Doctor watched as her eyes rolled back in her head then fluttered shut. She crumpled to the ground like a rage doll, lying in a limp pile and the floor.

"Is she..." The Doctors voice was low and Jack almost didn't hear him. He took a step towards them.

"No" Jack told him shaking his head. "Just stunned, she should be out for about an hour" He looked from the body formally held by Rose and back to the Doctor. He held the Doctors eyes for a moment before he bent over and took the sonic screwdriver back from her. He tossed it to the Doctor, who caught it purely out of reflex.

"How much longer will it take you to fix it?" Jack asked looking over at the Psychic-graft.

"But you heard her, Rose is...Rose is-

"Gone?" Jack asked looking a little surprised. "When was the last time you took anything she said at face value?" The Doctor looked up at him and then back at her, Jack had sparked hope, but it was dwindling fast.

"You didn't see her eyes, purely gold, what if-

"What if she was lying and we do nothing?" Jack asked surprised that it was him picking up the Doctor and not the other way around. The Doctor looked a little stunned as he stood up. He switched the sonic screwdriver back and looked at Jack.

"Give me 45 minutes" He said walking back over to the Psychic-graft. Jack nodded his head as he bent down next to Rose again and picked her up. He carried her over and laid her down on the bench, at lest she could be mildly comfortable. He sat down next to her and brushed her hair out of her face, to anyone out there listening he sent out a silent prayer. 'Please let her be right' He asked closing his eyes as he rested his palm on he forehead. 'Please let Rose be ok, let her wake up as herself, please!?' He begged to any and all that were out there listening.

"Jack" The Doctor said putting his hand on his shoulder. Jacks eyes flew open and if it weren't for the Doctor holding his in place he would have shot up too.

"Its ok" The Doctor said and Jack took a deep breath.

"Sorry" he said blinking a few times. "Bad dream" Jack rubbed his eyes for a second then looked up at him. "Well?"

"I've got it" the Doctor told him, there was a abnormality in the Doctors voice that took Jack a moment to identify, it was fear, the Doctor was scared. He didn't know what the Doctor would do if they got Carivina out of Rose only to find an empty shell.

"Should we wait for her to wake up?" Jack asked looking down at the still unconscious Carivina.

"No" The Doctor said shaking his head as he knelt down next to her. He ran his hand down her cheek. "Rose" He whispered "Please be in there" He bent over and kissed her cheek before he stood back up then bent over and picked her up. Jack watched as he carefully walked her over to the Psychic-graft. He sat her up with her arms at her side, her head falling forward to rest on her chin. He walked over to the switch and put his hand on it and took a deep breath.

"What will happen to Carivina?" Jack asked before the Doctor pulled the switch.

"Nothing" the Doctor said not looking at Jack. "She'll cease to exist." He told him waiting for Jack's response.

"Ok" Jack said nodding his head. The Doctor nodded once then pulled the switch. Red lightning like light filled the room as it pulled Rose's arms out away from her body. The light was gone in a matter of seconds and then a blue mist floated away from Rose, it seemed to float there a moment before it evaporated.

"It worked" The Doctor said a half smile on his face. They both looked down at Rose, still slumped over on the floor. They had both half expected her to look up at them and smile, but she didn't.

"We should get her back to the ship" Jack said after a tense few seconds. The Doctor just walked over to her bent down and picked her up, he made it seem like she was light as a feather. He turned with Rose in his arms without saying a word and walked back to the ship. Jack stood where he was for a moment looking around the room. He hoped he hadn't just lost the two most important people in his life. Because if Rose was gone, the Doctor was as good as gone too. After a second he turned and headed back to the ship too.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

They avoided each other for the next six hours, Jack was wondering aimlessly through the ship. The TARDIS was fully aware of what was going on, and she seemed to be worried as well. Twice they had passed each other, once two hours into it, both still hopeful.

"It's just her body healing" Jack had said not meeting the Doctor's eyes.

"Right" He'd agreed, not looking at Jack either.

And the second time had been about 45 minutes ago. Both of them were starting to lose hope, something Jack had never really seen the Doctor do. That time neither of them said anything as they looked up at each other and passed. Somehow, every half an hour or so Jack would pass by the open door to Rose's room, he was sure it was the TARDIS's doing and he thanked her. He was sure she was doing the same thing with the Doctor. It was getting into the seventh hour when Jack decided food might be good, Rose might be hungry when she woke up.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

The Doctor was not wondering aimlessly. He stopped, over and over in places he had been in with Rose. The control room, the kitchen, the wardrobe, and the many other rooms they had found together exploring the ship on their 'days off.' He stopped every half an hour by the open door of Rose's room and thanked the TARDIS when he did, she was obviously behind it. She was still breathing, both her hearts were beating, he took all these things as a good sign, but yet, she still refused to wake up. He had gone in and talked to her once, pleading with her.

"Please Rose" He'd begged. "Please wake up, we can't- He'd cut himself off as he took her hand into his. "I can't do this without you" He's put his hand to her temple, trying to read her, but he couldn't find anything, and that scared him more than anything else.

So now he was just wondering the rooms. It was getting to be around eighth hours now and he was starting to lose it. He knew he had a firmly built wall of composure around himself right now, but it was starting to slip, he was going to lose it soon. He took a deep breath and a smell filled his nose that so strongly reminded him of Rose he had to follow it. When he got to the kitchen he blinked, there were chips, loads and loads of chips, everywhere.

"I may have gone a little overboard" Jack said turning around to look at him. "I don't even know if she still likes chips anymore, I mean she could hate them, I haven't seen her eat them in the last few weeks but- He cut himself off and took a breath. "Chips" He said looking up at the Doctor.

"I see that" The Doctor said nodding his head. The Doctor sat down and pulled a plate of the chips towards him. Jack sat down too and did the same, though neither of them ate. They both looked to the door, as if expecting Rose to come barreling in demanding to know why they had started without her. When that didn't happen the Doctor just looked down at the chips and sighed.

"She'll-

"Don't" The Doctor told him cutting him off before he really got started. "I can't hear it anymore" He said pushing the plate away from himself looking down at the empty place in front of him now. The Doctor looked up when Jack's chair scraped the floor as he shoved it back.

"Starting without me?" A slow unsteady voice said, he could hear the fatigue in her voice but almost didn't dare turn around. "Giving up on me Doctor?" She asked, her voice sounded strained and tired. He could barely turn his head to look he was so worried he was going to wake up and find it was a dream.

But she was standing there, leaning on the door frame for support smiling at him. He pushed his chair back as well and took a step towards her.

"Rose?" He asked his voice strangled through the tears threatening to spill.

"Sorry" She apologized when he finally reached her. "I was really tired, it took a lot of work, hiding from her" She spoke softly pretty much falling into his arms when he held them out to her. She was warm and solid, not a figment of his imagination. The Doctor pulled back a moment and met her eyes and let out a breath he had been holding for a very, very long time. Her eyes, once dotted with gold flecks were now purely green, she was purely Rose again. Jack was there seconds later joining the hug. They all stood there for a moment, basking in the warmth that had been missing in Rose's absence.

"What happened?" Jack asked a while later when he pulled away. She smiled up at him and took a deep breath.

"Do I smell chips?" She asked looking slyly at him.

"You do" He affirmed nodding his head swiping his arm over the table fully covered in chips. Rose laughed and the sound of it rang though the room making both the men smile, big goofy wide grins.

"Are you hungry?" The Doctor asked helping her over to the chair.

"I could eat" She joked nodding her head as he sat down next to her. "My boys" She said looking between the two of them. "I'm sorry I scared you"

"Its ok" Jack said pushing a plate of chips in front of her. "We're just glad you're ok"

"So glad" The Doctor said his voice still a little choked up. Rose smiled at him and wiped away the single tear that had fallen.

"So she's really gone?" Jack asked sitting down across from the two of them, both men still had silly happy grins on their faces as Rose pulled the plate closer to herself. She picked up a chip and took a bite then nodded her head.

"Yes, she's gone. I can feel it, no one but me up here." She said tapping her head with her middle finger. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly and they could tell she was putting on a brave face. She was obviously having problems with almost being kicked out of her own body. Jack knew the Doctor would help her with it when she was ready so he changed the subject.

"How did you make her think she had won?" He asked reaching over and nipping one of her chips, not out of necessity, there were lots of chips, but just to see her smirk at him when he did it. "I mean, that is what you did right, hid from her and let her take over so she'd think she'd won?"

"Yeah" Rose told him as she stood up slowly. "I had to hide way back in my mind, its um...kinda hard to explain." She said walking to the fridge, steadier on her feet now.

"You had to assume we would still put you in the Psychic-graft." Jack said nodding his head as understanding hit. "You had to know she'd attack the Doctor first, 'Don't let her hurt anyone' you said. You knew I'd stun her"

"I was counting on it, I could feel all the hate and loathing for the Doctor in her mind, I knew she'd go for him first leaving you to act" Rose affirmed as she pulled a bottle of water out of the fridge. "I knew you two wouldn't give up on me so easily" She smiled over her shoulder at the Doctor and he opened his mouth to tell her that he almost had, that she should really be thanking Jack when Jack cut him off.

"Of course we wouldn't" He said looking pointedly at the Doctor, trying to convey to him that it wasn't important, he hadn't given up on her, not really. Rose walked back over but didn't sit down, she bent down and picked up the plate of chips and kissed the Doctor on the cheek.

"I'm going to go take a bath" She told them a content little smile on her face. "I need some time to think." She said softly, almost to herself. She blew Jack a kiss then walked out the door with her water and her chips. Both men watched her go then the Doctor turned back and looked at Jack.

"You didn't" Jack told him before the Doctor could even open his mouth to argue. "You would have gotten your head together after a moment and realized exactly what I did"

"You think so?" the Doctor asked a small smile on his face.

"I know so" Jack said as he too stood up and walked to the door. "She's going to need someone to talk to when she's done thinking"

"I know" the Doctor said not turning to look at Jack. The Doctor knew she'd need someone to talk to, was going to need to do a lot of talking things through over the next little while and he fully intended to be there for her, through it all.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Rose sat in the bath the warm comforting water all around her. She hadn't felt up to taking a bath for a long while now. And she was happy to let her mind wonder as she relaxed in the huge bear claw tub she had found on her second week in the TARDIS, so very long ago. She was taking inventory of her body again, after all, she couldn't be sure what had been her and what had been Carivina the first time she woke up in her new body. She still had not recovered all of the missing time when Carivina had taken over her body, and thought she probably never would. But surprisingly enough that didn't bother her. She knew the Doctor would be in her room waiting for her when she got out. She knew he'd been in there for her, incase she needed to talk. And when she was ready to talk she'd get out of the tub and go to her room, but for now, she was just relaxing in the warm water, thinking.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

He sat on her bed and waited, she had been in the tub for over an hour now but he knew the TARDIS would keep the water warm as long as she wanted. He could feel just how happy the ship was to have Rose back in one piece. He sometimes wondered who was more attached to Rose, him or his ship. That thought made him smile as he leaned back in her chair, his feet resting on her bedside table. He had walked around her room when he first got there. There were a few changed things, and a few totally new things. Her wardrobe was so different. He found himself missing her hoodie and jeans sometimes and it made he more aware of how she must have felt the first time he changed. It also made him understand the black leather jacket hanging in the back of her closet. All the photos were the same, her mum, Mickey, him. There were lots of him, candid photos she had taken when he was under the control panel fixing something, or him sitting in the library his glasses on and his nose in a book. There were other pictures of him too, the other him, his ninth form as Rose called it. He stood up and walked over to the wall covered in picture.

There was one he remembered very clearly, he had his hands up, trying to hid his face from view, there was some kind of green goo all over him, and he could almost hear Rose laugh as she took the picture. She too had been covered in goo but he hadn't gotten a picture of it. There were two pictures of his ninth form, Jack and her, one right before satellite 5. And there were some of just her and him, one that Jack had taken of him chasing her, she had his leather jacket and wouldn't give it back to him. He chuckled at the memory, all these memories pinned to a cork board wall. It hadn't been there when she moved into this room, it took up the whole wall though so he didn't think Rose had put it there.

"I like my pictures" he heard Rose say from behind him. She closed the door behind her and walked over to him slipping her hand into his as she too looked at the pictures. "I like this one a lot though" She said pointing to a picture Jack must have taken, it was the two of them, sitting in the captains chair, both of them fast asleep.

"That was right after-

"The three headed octopus that tried to eat Jack" Rose finished a bright smile on her face. "If I remember right you got a bit of a gash on your side and wouldn't let me look at it till because I had hurt my ankle and you wanted me to sit down. Then you feel asleep on me" She said poking him in the side.

"I don't believe that's the way it went" He told her sternly, a huge smile on his face kinda ruined the affect.

"That's how I remember it" Rose nodded her head as she walked back over to her bed shivering a little.

"Cold?" He asked walking over with her wishing the light mood could stay. But he knew she needed to talk, and the sooner the better. She shook her head as she sat down on her bed.

"It's a little...odd" She confessed, not totally sure that was the right word. "But I've never really known me as just me in this body. It was always me and her, and now, now it feels like I have to start all over" She let out a breath in a rush of air and looked up at him. The Doctor nodded his head, he hadn't really expected that, of course he wasn't really sure what he had expected.

"Do you, feel different then you did before?" He asked sitting down next to her when she patted the spot on her left.

"You see, that's the thing, I'm not sure. I mean when I woke up that first time how much of what I was feeling was I feeling and how much was her?"

"Ok, well, lets start with this, how do you feel now?" He asked taking her hand in his and running his thumb over the top of her hand a very endearing look on his face as he looked into her eyes. She sighed then closed her eyes and took slow deep breaths taking in everything around her, the hum of the ship, the smell of the Doctor and the feel of her hand in his. Everything was new and everything was old. It didn't make any sense in her head but to her heart it was perfectly clear. She squeezed his hand and opened her eyes, there was a bit of clarity there now and the Doctor smiled.

"I feel at home" She said looking around her room, everything still looked right to her. All the pictures were still just right and the clothes hanging in the closet still looked good to her. There was nothing in her room that made her think Carivina may have influenced her about it. And nothing felt alien about her room.

"It was all me" She uttered, the surprised very evident in her voice. "I thought, something would be her, but its not"

"That's because she didn't influence you, she had control of your body not your mind" The Doctor assured her with a gentle squeeze and a grin.

"She influenced my mind" Rose argued looking a little concerned. "She had control of my moods, I was snappy and mean."

"I don't think that was you, I think it was little bits of her breaking though without you realizing, she only had a little control, that's why there not blank spots." He told her a reassuring look on his face. Rose still felt unsure, but she knew he was right. Nothing about her was the lest bit Carivina. She breathed a sigh of relief at the realization and leaned her head against his shoulder. They sat that way for a long while, both just happy she was ok.

"So, were to next Doctor?" She asked after a while. She could feel the chuckle that came out of him as he looked down at her, she met his eyes upside-down, her head still of his shoulder. "Well?"

"You know, there is a place I've always wanted to show you" He told her, her head came up off her shoulder and she looked very curious.

"Really?" She asked the excitement growing with the prospect of a new adventure. "Where?"

"Well, I guess you'll just have to wait and see" He said standing up pulling her with him.

"Is it someplace exciting?" She asked pulling him from the room.

"Nope" He said a very serious look on his face. "Totally dull" He said a tiny smirk breaking through the facade.

"Right" Rose nodded her head a sarcastic smile on her face. "Come on, I'll get Jack you go set the coordinates"

"Alright" he agreed then she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'll meet you back in the control room" She flashed him a bright smile and then turned and ran towards jacks room.

-o-o-o-o-o-

"Jack, the Doctors got a surprise destination for us" Rose called when she saw that his door was open. "He wont tell me where we're going but- She stopped when she rounded into his room. He was bent over his bed a knapsack open on top. He was putting his clothes into it. "What are you doing?" She demanded walking into his room. He turned around and flashed her his trademark smile, bright and a little cheese.

"I just..." The smile faltered a little and he sighed. "I have a few things I want to take care of"

"You're leaving?" She asked, her buoyant mood dropping quickly.

"Just for a little while, I promise" he said turning back to the bag to close it up. "You two are going to need some time for, things" He smirked at her and she blushed a little.

"But I don't want you to go, neither does the Doctor" She told him wondering what she'd done to make him think they wanted him to go.

"I know" He said nodding his head. "I know you don't" He walked over to her and took her hand. "I just have something's I need to do and-

"We could help" Rose assured him nodding her head.

"This is just..." He trailed off and smiled at her. "Something I have to do myself, ok?"

"But you'll be back?" She asked looking him in the eyes.

"You couldn't keep me away" He assured her nodding.

"How long?" She asked fighting back the tears. She wouldn't not cry, he was coming back. This wasn't forever, she wouldn't cry.

"A few months" He told her smiling, but Rose could see through the smile.

"A few?" She asked skeptically. "How many is a few?"

"Four, six tops" he said squeezing her hand. "It'll fly by, you'll never even miss me"

"Promise you'll be careful with, whatever it is?" She asked needing his reassurance, she couldn't stand to lose him again.

"I promise" he said leaning over and kissing her on the check. "As long as you promise to take care of yourself on all your adventures."

"Promise" Rose agreed nodding her head a small smile on her face. He picked up his bag from by his feet and the two of them walked out of his room.

"It'll be here when you come back" She said looking back at his door as they walked away.

"I know" He said nodding his head. He put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned into him as they walked.

"So, when will we meet back up?"

"I'm not sure" He said smiling at her. "We could meet anywhere"

"Have you ever been to The Ice Islands of Tantina?" She asked smiling at him. It was a place kinda of like Iceland on earth, named after ice but lush green forests and long warm beaches. Rose had loved it and wouldn't mind going again.

"Once or twice, lots of very interesting people there" he told her wiggling his eyebrows as they rounded a corner. Rose laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Ok, well in six months then, we'll meet at Tantina in..." She looked up at him a little concerned. "How will you get around? I mean, do you have another time machine stashed away somewhere?"

"You could say that" Jack chuckled lightly nodding his head. "Don't worry about it, when should we meet?"

"Lets see, hum..." Rose thought about when she and the Doctor had been there. "It was 2543 when the Doctor and I were there, that's according to the human calendar of course. So lets say, 2548. There was a meteorite shower the night we were there, it was beautiful. The Doctor says they happen every five years, so lets make it 2548, July 8th."

"Ok, that sounds great" Jack agreed nodding his head as they walked into the control room.

"Going somewhere?" The Doctor asked looking up from the control panel a knowing smile on his face.

"Yeah, I have a few things I need to take care of" Jack said putting the knapsack down. "Mind giving me a ride to 2113, earth, London?" He asked and Rose saw something pass over the Doctor's face that worried her, then it was gone.

"Will do" he told him a smile on his face as he turned back to the control panel.

"Did you get everything?" Rose asked looked down at his bag, she hated saying good bye so soon but she was going to put on a smile, she'd see him again soon.

"Everything I'll need for this" He assured her bending down and grabbing his bag. "Stay out of any big trouble ok? And don't have to much fun without me"

"We will, and we wont" Rose assured him a small smirk on her face. "Be careful ok?" She asked before she threw her arms around him in a bear hug.

"I will" He said nodding his head. They stayed like that for a long few moments.

"We're here" The Doctor said looking up at them. Rose pulled away from Jack and forced a smile onto her face.

"Stay out of trouble ok Jack?" The Doctor told him sternly as Jack walked over to him.

"Will do" Jack said nodding his head. He reached out as if to shake the Doctors hand. The Doctor took his hand and was immediately pulled into a hug.

"Oi!" The Doctor said pulling away quickly.

"Sorry" Jack said smirking. "Couldn't help myself" He turned back to Rose and she laughed. "Got you hands full now don't you?"

"Don't I know it" Rose said laughing as well now. "See you soon Jack"

"Soon" Jack assured her walking to the door. He opened it, turned back and smiled and then was gone.

"He pinched me" The Doctor said looking a little shocked by this. Rose was surprised, this was Jack they were talking about here.

"You sound surprised" Rose said laughter in her eyes. She was sad to see Jack go, but she knew he'd be back. And this was a time machine and six months would go by in a flash. And until then she had the Doctor and the ship all to herself and they had some time to make up for. "I mean, you are pretty pinchable" She told him laughing at the look on his face.

"Think its funny do you?" He asked taking a step towards here. "You know I've just thought of something, I wounded where you're ticklish now"

"No" Rose said shaking her head taking a step away from him. "You stay away from me" She told him laughter bubbling up inside of her.

"Come on, aren't you even the lest bit curious?" He asked a very innocent smile on his face.

"Not even the slightest" Rose told him shaking her head as he continued to stalk towards her. "Doctor" She warned as he got closer. "No" She half said half laughed.

"Well, I'm curious" he said as he got close enough to touch her. He reached out with both hands and tickled her sides. She held in the laughter and shook her head.

"Nope, oh well we'll just- She stopped as a wave of laughter over took her.

"Ah" The Doctor said laughing himself as he found another spot. "There's one"

"Doctor" Rose giggled as she wiggled trying to break free. "S-s-top" She cried as he found another spot on her lower back. Finally she broke free and took two giant steps back.

"You'll never catch me now" She challenged shooting off down the corridors, laughter drifted back as she ran. The Doctor smirked looked at the door and wished Jack luck on whatever he was doing. Then he turned and ran after Rose, who had a nice head start now.

The End...?

A/N- Ok, so what do you think? I have a sequel in mind so don't fret, you will find out what Jacks up to. I hope you all liked it and I'm sorry it took me so long to get it out. I hope it was worth the wait! Thanks for reading. Lily
