"What are you doing?" Rose asked for the umpteenth time. For the past half-hour, the Doctor had been constantly running tests; scanning his brain one minute, doing a full body cat-scan the next, all the while not saying a word. To be perfectly honest, it scarred Rose a little. Ever since he`d regenerated, he`d been nothing but a chatter box, talking nonstop.

"Hm? Oh sorry. Trying to locate someone."

"By… scanning your brain?" Though slightly perplexed, Rose was relieved the Doctor was talking again. She`d thought something was wrong.

The Doctor paused momentarily, trying to find the right words to explain the situation. "You see, Rose," the Doctor started, "Time Lords can… feel one another. In their minds. And, well, it`s been a while, so I`m trying to make sure what I`m feeling is right.

This shocked Rose more than she thought possible. "Wait, there`s another Time Lord?"

"Apparently, would you like to go meet him? Or her, I suppose it could be a she. Strange, everyone seems to associate an unknown gender with either `it` or `he`. Why do you think that is?

"What? Why didn`t you say something? We have to meet him Doctor. How can you be so calm about this? She was beyond confused as to why the Doctor took such an impossible lucky situation so lightly.

"See? You said him! I wonder if anyone has ever done a test on this; seems an unlikely topic, but then again, Humans see to research everything. Did you know Hitler had human sperm injected into a monkey to try and find the missing link? Hitler was a great chap before his mother traumatized him. Now that bloke could play poker."

After the Doctor ranted for a few more minutes, Rose slapped him. "Oi! What was that for?"

"Stop blabbering and take us to the other Time Lord. Now."

"Alright, alright. No need to get so bloody mad." Walking up to the console, he grabbed a switch and paused and looked slightly uncomfortable.

"What the matter, Doctor?"

"Well, the thing is… I don`t actually know where he is, or even when for that matter, which is… weird."

"Ladies and gentlemen, The Oncoming Storm." Rose muttered.

"Oi! It`s not my fault!" I haven`t felt anyone else in my head for quite some time. I can`t just- never mind, I have a time and a place." He started pulling levers and pushing buttons in an order that Rose could swear had absolutely no rhyme or reason.

"Just like that? You got where we need to go?"

"Yep."

God, Rose loved that man.
