Summary: The Doctor has said something no girl wants to hear.


The Doctor stood staring at the door Rose had disappeared through in high dudgeon and slammed in his face a few moments before.

"Please," he tried. "I didn't mean to upset you. You do look like Jackie, you know. The face, the hair. That's to be expected. She is your mother."

"No so," Rose answered from within. "Don't you think I'm prettier than her?"

The Doctor was unsure of how to respond to that. "Er…yes?"

Suddenly the door flew open, and he was looking at Rose's grinning face. "I though you might say that," she said, and kissed him.
