Sorry that I haven't been updating this fic, but I've been so very busy and my RSD has got worse so I've not been in the mood for fluff.

Don't kill me!

If you kill me you don't get any more of this story…


The Doctor looked up embarrassed and then broke into a cocky grin.

"Captain Yates, you've hardly changed"

The Captain rolled his eyes and then looked the Doctor up and down.

"Which is more than can be said for you, Doctor"

The Doctor clapped his hands and then rubbed them together.

"This" The Doctor said, putting an arm around Rose's shoulder, "Is Rose"

"Jolly good, jolly good," The Captain said.

"Captain, Rose Doctor come in, come in, come in" Sergeant Benton said urgently, "Turkey's getting cold."

The Doctor grinned at that and reached out his hand to Rose, she took it and then behind Sergeant Benton and Captain Yates they walked into the hall.

Rose was amazed at the size of the room. She nudged The Doctor.

"Bit like the TARDIS" she whispered, "You know, bigger on the inside"

The Doctor looked around the vast room and nodded.

"Yea, you're right Rose" He looked around until he saw who he was looking for, a man who's hair and moustache was completely white but he still looked as fit as a fiddle.

"Brig…" He started but was cut off by the man himself.

"Doctor, haven't seen you in years, dear man, how old are you now anyway?"

The Doctor shrugged,

"Well over one thousand, I start to lose count"

The Brigadier nodded like he understood, and then he looked at Rose.

"And you are…"

Rose smiled; it was nice to be noticed.

"I'm Rose Tyler, I urm…" She looked at The Doctor and then at the Brigadier and then back again. "… I'm with The Doctor"

Well, she thought, it could be interpreted in two ways couldn't it?

The Doctor pulled Rose along the table until they reached…

"Liz Shaw" The Doctor said proudly, "How are you?"

The ginger haired woman stood up and shock The Doctor's hand.

"I'm well Doctor, I've left UNIT and this is actually the first time that I have seen all the crew in a while now, how about you?"

"I'm well, very well in fact", as he said this he drew Rose closer to him. "Better than I was a few centuries ago at least."

"You seem friendlier anyway"

The Doctor looked vaguely astonished.

"I was always friendly"

Liz raised her eyebrows and the Doctor sighed and kissed Rose on the cheek and removed his arm from her waist taking it to cradle his bad wrist.

"You okay?" Rose asked and The Doctor and he nodded.

"Yea" he said looking around until his eyes fell on Captain Yates,

"Captain!" He shouted and Mike walked over.

"Doctor?"

"Any chance you can get the TARDIS here could you?"

"Sergeant Benton's already organized that Doctor, it'll be here within the hour"

"Darn!" The Doctor said sighing, "you don't happen to have a medical room around here do you?"

"Yes Doctor, Benton will show you the way"

Out of no where John was at Mike's side.

The Doctor pressed a kiss to Rose's lips and walked away with John talking about the old times.

Rose felt a little lonely without the Doctor and she reached up to touch her lips, a bubbly woman came and stood next to her.

"You with the Doctor?" She asked

Rose nodded to the lady and the woman laughed and stuck out her hand.

"Jo Grant, well I was Jo Jones but I was divorced you see so, anyway Jo Grant"

"Rose Tyler" Rose said feeling foolish.

"Rose, we've record of you, from when Downing Street blew, was that you? And the Doctor?"

Rose nodded smiling, not feeling at all threatened by the fact that they had records about her.

"We were, who else but the Doctor?" Rose said with a laugh.

"Who else? But our records are a bit muddled, a Bad Wolf Virus or some such, Torchwood has it too, not that we talk to them much, they are way too… well they're not us!"

Rose nodded and soon she and Jo where talking about there adventures and how the Doctor had changed over the years.

In the medical room The Doctor looked around sighing. He paced around and then again.

"Doctor?" Benton asked after the third time that the Doctor had walked around the room.

"I need a splint for my wrist"

Benton rolled his eyes and went over to the cupboard that the Doctor hadn't opened and reached in to get a splint.

"Thanks Benton" The Doctor said as he gently put the brace on.

"Oh we had times didn't we Doctor?"

"Oh we did, do you remember the daleks?"

"How could I not?"

"Oh and the Zygons"

The Doctor and Sergeant Benton carried on reliving past ventures until Sergeant Benton's phone rang. He held it up to his ear and spoke a few words into it.

"They want us back, turkey to be served"

The Doctor smiled and stretched.

"Rose'll be wanting me back as well," He said and the two of them headed back to the main hall.
