Three minutes before the new year had rung in with people celebrating the new year. The night was cold and the ground was covered in a blanket of snow. Rose was leaning against a blue police box that was actually anything but what it apeared to be. She rested her left hand lightly on the side and felt a slight humm of anticpation and she smiled. The young Tardis seamed just as excited as she was for the arrival of those she had contacted. Rose lowered her head and let it rest agaist the young Tardis and let her mind wander to recent events. Odd things had been happening in her adopted reality lately, some interesting and some extreamly dangerous. With the arrival of John Shepard a whirlwind of action had been started and she had been sent with the young Tardis to her origanial reality. Pete had given her no choice about being sent really and there had been no time to spare. She had been sent to find answers for what was happening or at least to find out if there werer any. Rose had been typing up a field report from an incedent that had happened two days before, she had gone back to type it up after getting ready for the goveners masked ball. Dressed in an old fashiond dress with a compilcated hairdo Rose thought she would get in and back out without being held up. She was mistaken instead she had ended up in a briefing. All thoughts of her mother going nucluar on her for being late flew out the window when she found out that someone from another reality had come through. In the end Rose had been shoved into the Tardis and told to go. Pete had given no time for goodbyes. Pete had been to worried that the tear in reality would close. There had been barly time for her to registar Pete's last few statements. He would tell Jackie what was going on, and that she was to tell The Doctor that Pete was holding The Doctor to his promise to Jackie and that he better keep Rose safe. Rose was Startled back to the present when the phone she had kept clutched in her right hand buzzed to life with a text message. She smiled at The Doctors response. She typed in another respose the opened her purse and deposited the phone inside it. Rose straightened out her gown and shifted the silverish beaded overlay, before picking a piece of lint off the deep cobalt blue material underneath. She was impatient Jack taking awhile was understadable if he wasn't with The Doctor normal modes of transportation took time. The Doctor however had a time machine then again his timeing had always been a bit off.

The Doctor couldn't bloody believe it! Rose Tyler, back! He glanced over at the phone as it beeped again, grinning to himself as he picked it up and read it. He couldn't believe it, sure it couldn't be a good thing if she was able to be there but she was back and everything seemed to be okay, since she was wanting to meet up (he was unaware she'd invited Jack as well, who was currently in the swimming pool). He locked his TARDIS onto her phone and moved around the console as they started to dematerialize...
2012, January 1st.
That's what it read on the scanner, at least and the Doctor let out a whoop of joy and excitement as the TARDIS bumped around the time vortex. It landed smoothly for once, almost as if she was just as excited about seeing Rose as he was. They'd landed not more than eight feet from where Rose was standing, right in a carefully cared for government garden, as was his new style it seemed, the TARDIS slightly off balance but nothing to worry about.
He did a little twirl and straightened his tie.
"JACK!" He yelled out as he threw off his jacket, grabbing a slightly nicer one (just as fuddy duddy as his other) and putting it up, reaching into the pocket of the other jacket and pulling out his sonic screwdriver. "JACK, JACK HOW DO I LOOK?" he yelled out, rushing towards where he thought Jack would be. "JACK IT'S ROSE, ROSE IS OUTSIDE HOW DO I LOOK!" he yelled when he found him, rushing over to a mirror and playing with his hair, looking at his face and then remembering.
"Think she'll be mad at my face, I completely forgot I changed, I always do this..." he sighed and slapped his baby cheek.

Having been in the pool, Jack hadn't gotten to his phone to see the message and only got out because the TARDIS had started jolting. Even though he could survive it, he didn't exactly call drowning a fun time. He climbed out of the pool and grabbed his towel and phone, heading up to the console as quickly as he could being jolted around like this, wanting to see what was going on. The TARDIS stopped before he could get there, but he carried on, arriving just in time to hear The Doctor yelling something about Rose.
Rose.
Their Rose? Couldn't be! She was in the parallel universe and there was no way, absolutely no way that she could be here. Could she? Drying his hair, he went over to the screen, looking for any clues that Rose might be outside, but it only gave their coordinates and the time and date.
"That's impossible," he said, but he didn't doubt The Doctor. He wouldn't have believed it himself unless he had some sort of proof, so to hear him so excited about it was enough for Jack and he went off into the closet to put on some proper clothes. As much as he'd enjoy showing off muscles for Rose (as well as The Doctor) it was January and they were in London. It was going to be cold and being wet and half-naked wasn't going to be very nice out there.
I'm sure she'll be fine," he called out, loud enough for The Doctor to hear as he pulled on his clothes and trenchcoat before reappearing. "I mean... she has got her Doctor after all," Jack reminded him, sounding a bit hesitant about saying it, but he knew it had to be said. "She'll still love you no matter what. You were her first Doctor and a new face isn't going to change that," he assured the man. "Now come on, it's ROSE!" he exclaimed, going over to the door and opening it, stepping out and looking around, looking for Rose.
When he saw her, a huge grin spread across his face and he opened his arms up, inviting her into them for a hug. "Rose Tyler, it has been a while," he said fondly.

Rose placed he hand back on the young Tardis she considered hers now, The Doctor had said after all that she and the clone belonged in the Tardis going though time and space. The young Tardis shivered and she felt abandoned all of a sudden. She patted the side of the Tardis "I will always come back for you even if I need to go for awhile. I will always come back for you as long as I am breathing...I will see if we can take you with us but if we can't I will come back as soon as I can." She whispered to the young Tardis. The feeling of anticpation returned then intesifed with urgancy, a moment latter Rose heard the familar sound of the Tardis materializing.The intensity was so much that Rose took her hand off the young Tardis and turned in the direction of the arriving Tardis. Feelings of safty, and returning home filled her as she gathered up the train of her dress, and found her balance. The flat no grip shoes she was wearing were not suited for the environment she was in , however they were the best she had at the moment. Pete had given her no time to pack and the young Tardis did not yet have the extensive wardrobe that the older one did at least not yet. Rose's feet slipped and slid all over the place she tried to move forward twords her destination. She stopped and looked down scowling at the offending shoes she would get nowhere like this. Rose bent down to undo the button up matching shoes and was half way down the first one when her heart soared at the sound of Jack's voice. Rose looked up and quickly forgot the danger her shoes posed, she was off and running. Well running would be a bit of an overstament more like slipping and sliding quickly in Jack's driection as fast as she could. Her heart pounding she reached him after a few moments face plowing right into his chest and open arms. Gripping his shirt for dear life only partially out of a need for stability mostly out of joy and never wanting to let go again. She let out a small muffled " ow " into his chest before looking up with tears in her eyes. " This is not a dream is it ....it can't be. Please tell me I am not about to wake up. Your here The Doctor is here it's real" She implored quietly in a shakey voice though her unshed tear. She reached a hand up to lightly touch the side of his face. Using him for balance she went to place a soft kiss on his cheek and pausing to wipe the pale shimmery lipstick left behind. She continued clutching his shirt and laid her head over his heart to hear it's steady beating, the small part of her that had been unable to let go was quelled and grew slighty. Home safe where she belonged it seamed to say with each beat of his heart. She never wanted to let go to just freeze this moment in time though it wasn't quiet perfect yet The Doctor wasn't there. She was about to ask where The Doctor was when a noise caught her attention. Rose looked over to see a man in a suite and bow tie shifting in what could only be called an uncomfortable manner. That wasn't quite right though rose thought to herself no more like he had unintentionally interuped a personal moment. Rose wiped at the unshed tears in her eye's and stood back from Jack a bit though still held tight partially unable to let go partially unwillling to. It looked as though The Doctor had taken on a new companion, she knew she shouldn't be surprised really it was bound to happen and had happened before. Trying desperatly to keep the jelousy from her voice and failing miserably Rose cleared her throat and spoke studying the new commer closely. " Are you going to....." Her voice trailed off as she recognised a familar glint in the man's eyes. The situation snapped into place he wasn't uncomfortable he was shy and unsure. Rose gripped Jacks shirt tighter as her expectations and the truth merged together, temporarly unbalancing her. She reached out her hand as the tears came back to her eyes blurring the world around her. She lightly reached to brush her hand against his bow tie and the side of his face. " The bow tie...it's differnt but nice.....Your still not ginger......I'm back My Doctor." she said holding back sobs a faint smile on her face. She reached out to him this reality would not seam compleetly real untill she felt his hand in hers or better her arms were wrapped around both Jack and her doctor.

His hearts had never beat so hard in his entire life than the moment when he stepped out of the TARDIS. He knew she wouldn't recognize him, and they way she looked at him made a slightly sad smile to appear on his slightly haunted looking face, aged eyes staring at the woman he'd loved. Still loved. So when she touched his face and commented on his bow tie the Doctor's smile turned into a pleased grin. "Oh, come here, you," he grumbled and slung his arms around the blond, pulling her against him in a hard, warm hug, hands spanning over her back as he pulled back a little.
One hand came up to gently smooth over her cheek, cupping her face. "Oh, Rose Tyler, I thought I'd never see you again," he said, getting all emotional without even realizing it, his light eyes filling with tears and he pulled her close again, pressing his hot, wet lips against her forehead, knowing she had his clone-wonder what his name was, surely he wasn't 'the Doctor.' He'd never really thought about. John Smith maybe, if he knew himself well enough.
His arms tightened around Rose. He didn't want to let go of her, it had been such a long time and she was just as beautiful as ever, he squeezed her and ran his hand over her head a little before finally pulling his lips away, stepping back a single step so he could get a good look at her, an embarrassed but pleased smile on his face. He blinked away the ever threatening tears and wiped at his eyes. "But this is impossible, how'd you do it, surely your TARDIS isn't old enough yet, not old enough to jump Universes..." he told her, confused, wondering if him finding Gallifrey had changed everything, now that the Timelords were back.
"Jack," the Doctor pulled back, ever the fearless leader, ever saving the world. "I just had a thought," he said as he pulled away from rose, looking serious. "Could us having finding Gallifrey changed everything? What if it was possible that when we were thrown into space and time that we tore everything apart, but we had no--unusual turbulence, we had, of course, the time shifts. Those are always fun, aye Rose?" Remembering they'd experienced a couple together and he grinned widely, adjusting his jacket. He'd already forgotten about the chips, always on the move this one. He was about to head back towards the TARDIS when he stopped and held his finger in the air. "I'm forgetting something..."
"Ah yes, Rose.," he exclaimed, turning towards her. "I know you," he said seriously. "I know it's more than chips you came here for..." he searched her face, reaching up and caressing the back of his finger over her cheek before he looked bashful, pulling it away. "More than me..."
He wasn't purposely trying to change her little date but he had a whole universe to look after and if it was in danger, he had to do everything in his power-Though... those chips did sound good and he hesitated, adjusting his bow tie and looking a little ashamed at taking over Rose's plans, it was an old habit. "Chips sounds good," he said and ran his fingers through his hair to get it out of his face, only to have it fall back over his eyes. "The Universe can wait..."
But, God, he was itchin' to get out there, only just managing to keep it under control as he stood in front of Rose like a bashful, guilty child.

God, it was good having the old team back. It was great seeing The Doctor, even with his new face, but even with his old face, it never felt complete without Rose around. Martha and Donna had both been great, they really had, but they would never, ever replace Rose and luckily hadn't ever tried, even if they might have wanted to.
All this hugging. It was so sappy but he couldn't help feeling left out and included himself in the hug as well. "It is good to see you again, Rose," he agreed, kissing the top of her head affectionately. As much as he hit on her, she was like a little sister to him and great seeing her safe and well. The Doctor knew better, though, and Jack stiffened a little at what he was suggesting. Going to the parallel universes was dangerous-she'd only ever done it when something was wrong.
Finding Gallifrey might just have been what caused that trouble.
Jack hated to admit that, hated the thought of something that had made The Doctor so happy being the cause of something to put the one he loved most in danger. Maybe it hadn't been finding Gallifrey, but maybe someone from Gallifrey had used the newly found gateway to somehow get to the parallel universe and cause trouble. But why? What was the point?
"I don't know, Doctor," he said honestly with a little shake of his head. "But for right now, Rose is here, so you're right. The universe can wait while we go and have some chips with our best girl," he insisted, the decision made, at least for him, and he slung an arm around Rose's shoulder, the other going around The Doctor's shoulder. "Shall we go than?"

The Doctor looked at her with a sad haunted look and it nearly broke Rose's heart. Then the look faded replaced by a smile and she let go of Jack and slid to the Doctor melting into his embrace. She clung to him as though if she let go the world would end in a firey explosion. Her heart soared she was where she belonged home this was no dream, there would be no waking life to dash her heart apart. It was real she was here in her Doctors arms it didn't matter that he was hugging her so hard she could barley breath. No what mattered was his arms were around her his hands pressed to her back the heat of his body sending warmth from her head to her toes. Then all to soon she felt him move back and was relived when it was only just a little bit his hands still on her back. The Doctor slipped his hand to her cheek cupping it and she pressed her face to the palm of his hand smiling up at him. She would never leave him no only death would stop her from ever finding her way back to him. She watched as tears filled his eyes and was happy when he pulled her close once again. Then his lips were pressed to her forehead in soft damp kiss the heat from them hot against her cold skin. The cold no longer seamed to matter as his kiss had made her feel as though her blood was boliling not in anger but in desire. When his arms tightened once more Rose held back just as tight wanting him no needing him to understand that she was back for him, would always come back to him. The Doctors hand rose and his fingers ran gently though her hair the only reason her own hand did not raise to twine her fingers with his was her unwillingness to relase her hold on him. Then his lips were gone and he steped away and the cold air swirled into the empty space and she let out a small shiver.
Time that had slowed down for the moment seamed to speed up The Doctor was talking leaving no real room for answers. She nodded when he made the comment of time shifts and was just about to suggest that they get the chips to go when Jack stepped in stateting firmly that they were going. Rose snuggled into Jack when he put his arm around her and felt lighter than she had in a long time. They were back the three traveling getting geard up for an adventure she was unsure however if this would last after what it was she had to tell them.
It felt like it had taken no time to reach the resturant open for New Years eve. Rose smiled and led them around to the back entrance " I called ahead made some reservations where we could have a bit of quite to talk. I also took the liberty to order chips as well " she smiled up at Jack and The Doctor. She knocked on the door and a wave of warmth hit her from the toasty restruant. She moved in quickly to let the other two in and made her way to the small table set in the middle of the empty room taking note of the festive decorations.
Rose sat down and winced at the clatter her dress made as she did so. The sound reminded her of a rain stick or bunch of angry bees. She made herself comfortable waiting for the other two to sit down. She set her medium sized beaded purse on her lap and dug through it untill she found what she was looking for then looked up leaving it where it sat. " I was sent here by Pete there has been a lot going on over there. Alien incedents on the rise, Cybermen coming out of the wood work, atmosphric changes and the walls of reality the density fluxuated before returning back to it's orignal state. Most of it is on data disks I have copies for you to look over if you need them. I wasn't there in the begining, mum said it was bad took them a while to get things back in order too. Rose took a breath and shifted in her seat. She had reached the part she had been dreading and plunged forward" I wasn't there I was everywhere else except there, traveling time and space...it took Tony a little while before he recognized me, and we were so close before....I needed to get away in the end I knew I was really just trying to run from myself....didn't work so good though....Mum and everyone really they understood we worked things out" the words were halting and jumbled but Rose got them out the best she could, she brought her hand up and set what she had been clutching in her hand a Sonic Screwdriver and set it gently in the center of the table. " He isn't comming it's just me....Only me and the Tardis now....all I had to do was aim but I missed and he fell....I searched and never found..... I think he would have wanted you to have it....I came to help but if you don't want me to I understand....and the Tardis we named her hope she..... Rose found that once she had started she couldn't stop it all from rushing out even if most of it had been in half staments that had trailed off. Tears had been streaming down her face and she had't even noticed. Forgetting why she had even come in the first place Rose stood the urge to run away hitting her like it had back when she had first lost the clone. " I should go I'm sorry.... This was the first time she had even tried to expliane what had happened beyond the fact that the clone wasn't comming back.

It had been really nice hugging Rose, just as much as he liked hugging Amy and River and he felt a swell in his heart just thinking about his girls. He'd been rather flustered about the way Rose had clung to him, his new regeneration a lot more bashful than his others. He allowed Jack to slip his arm over his slim shoulders, eyebrow arching a little before Rose led the way to restaurant. It surprised him that she'd made reservations... for chips, it made him curious why it was so public and he continued to watch her, when he sat down, when they all did, his eyes remained on her, he knew something was up, something serious.
So, for once, when she spoke, the Doctor didn't say a word, listening to her carefully and patiently, brow furrowing more and more as she got on in her explanation. He knew it.-And who the blazes was Tony? He got the alien incidents, Cybermen, atmospheric changes and he got the walls of reality and their density fluctuation. But, what he didn't get was this guy Tony and-His thoughts were cut off when he noticed Roses hand move and his face lost any kind of emotion as he saw the sonic screwdriver and he reached out to take it, pausing though. He knew what she was going to say before she said it. He was dead? Really, he'd thought he would of felt it, because, after all, his clone had been a part of him. Lips pressed together, the Doctor picked the sonic screwdriver up when she put it down, caressing it a little.
He felt Jack's hand grab at his shoulder and his face changed completely, the Doctor shrugging away the touch, looking angry and upset. He stood up and tucked the screwdriver into his pocket turning to face them both, face showing a struggle of rage and misery. He saw Jack move again and shook his head. "No one has anything to say to me, no one!" he got out, shoulders heaving with the effort it took to face them instead of running, but it didn't last long and he was soon turning from them both, heading out the door in a fit of rage. At himself, at Rose, at Jack and the Universe. He got outside into the cold and lifted his face towards the skies, breathing in and trying to calm down before he lost it any further.
He had no right to be angry at anyone but himself. He started to pace, looking up as snow started to fall and he started to walk back towards the TARDIS, no longer in the mood for chips or anything else for that matter. This was why he didn't like Sundays, everything bad seemed to happen on Sundays. He never did Sundays. Shoulders hunched, the Doctor spotted the TARDIS ahead and headed towards it determinedly, his hand tightening around the sonic screwdriver.
This Timelord was sulking, eyes glinting with tears that mingled with snow on his face, brow screwed up in anger, hands shoved into his pockets. He got to the TARDIS and stood looking at it before he turned to face Roses TARDIS, lips pressed in a line before he lifted the sonic and pointed it at the growing TARDIS, hope, and ever-so-wrathful he started to destroy it, sparks flying everywhere.

"Stay here, I'll go talk to him," Jack told Rose, not sure she would listen, but hoping she would have the decency to after seeing how mad The Doctor had been. He rarely got angry like that and it was even more rare that the anger was directed toward someone he cared for, especially as much as he cared for Rose.
He stood, following after The Doctor, planning to just let him rant until he'd sorted things out in his head properly and calmed himself down. To be honest, he didn't blame the man for being this upset. He'd just been told he'd lost a part of himself and that had to be scary for anyone-it didn't matter that he never even saw the clone. That hadn't been his choice.
The first place he headed for was the TARDIS and when he saw sparks, he picked up his pace. It didn't matter HOW angry The Doctor got with him, he had to interfere at this point. He stepped between The Doctor and the young TARDIS, snatching the sonic screwdriver out of his hand and clutching it in his own.
"What are you doing, Doctor? This isn't you! This isn't how you do things!" he exclaimed, more shocked than angry. It scared him a little if he was being honest, seeing The Doctor like this. The Doctor was always in control, never did anything without thinking. Never. Whether he acted out of anger, compassion, hurt... there was always a thought-no matter how brief-about his actions. At least from what Jack had seen. But this? It seemed to Jack that he was acting recklessly and while it was refreshing knowing he could be normal, it was also very, very scary.

Rose was shocked she went from the one about to leave to being the only one left in the resturant. She had expected The Doctors reaction to be honest but she thought that he would order her to leave or worse get up and leave without a word instead he had snapped at both Rose and Jack, the last part had surprised her. When Jack had told her to stay for once Rose decided it was for the best, she had verry little desire to upset The Doctor any further. Rose had pulled out enough money to pay for what she had arranged and placed it, on the table. No one would be here to eat the chips and sat back down slowly at the table to wait. She thought briefly or leaving and of writing a note for Jack and The Doctor so that they would know she had gone. The thought did not get verry far and was quickly brushed aside no she would wait untill they came back or at least untill she knew they weren't comming back. She settled back in her chair and was begining to let her mind wander absent mindly bitting her nails when she felt a jolt of fear, panic and urgancy from the key around her neck. It was not normal that she could feel such a thing and knew what ever was going on was really not good.
She had meant to follow Jacks instructions really she had but if the Tardis's were in trouble and possibly The Doctor and Jack, Well she really could not just sit there and do nothing. Rose got up as quick as she could and bolted out of the restruant. She moved as fas as she possibly could while staying on her feet moving though the streets.
Rose lifted up her hand bag and began rumaging through it carefull not to let anything fall out, and grabbed a set of keys pulling them from the bag. When she was close enough she hit a button that was conneted to a program that would send the young Tardis to the vortex ( as long as it was undamaged enough to make it there and back ) untill it was safe enough to return. Knowing her Tardis would be safe only made Rose feel slightly better there was still The Doctor, Jack and the older Tardis that were in danger.
Rose continued her fast pace untill she rounded the corner where the Tardis's had been and were older Tardis should be and half slild half skided to a stop, and found The Doctor and Jack in what resembled a sort of stand off. Rose stood where she was trying to piece together what was going on fairly sure the two had not noticed her.

Stepping forward, the Doctor glared at Jack, reaching for it only to turn and see it disappearing, his hair getting blown about as he gaped after it, letting out a frustrated sound. "That!" he pointed after it, looking absolutely peeved. "That, was WRONG, I should've... I should've never given it to them, should of never showed them how. Not when I knew how dangerous it could be!" he spluttered, his voice low but laced with barely controlled anger, chest heaving as he swallowed his words. He stomped his foot and kicked at a park bench nearby, making a pained sound before he sat down, running his hands through his hair, foot throbbing most uncomfortably.
Pulling up his collar as the falling snow collected at the back of his neck and in his hair, dampening it. "If I hadn't... It's my fault Jack. It's always my fault." he said quietly, cutting Jack off, knowing the man would say something. Lifting his head and looking in Roses direction, the Doctor saw her standing there and the look he gave her was utterly miserable. He hadn't wanted her to hear that, hadn't wanted her to see him like this. It was always one thing after another, though. It seemed like he never got a break these days. Pulling his gaze away, the tired timelord stood, pushing his hair from his face, rubbing at his mouth as he paced back and forth. This was when he worked the best; when his emotions were high, despite what Amy was always saying about getting emotional, he just needed to stop and think, he had to think and BREATHE, breathing was good too.
Swallowing hard, the Doctor headed towards Rose, a guilty look on his face before he grabbed her and hugged her, crushing her to his chest. "Oh, Rose. It's not your fault you know..." He didn't know what to say so he just kept hugging her, feeling close to tears again himself, sniffing determinedly. "This wasn't meant to happen, everything feels wrong," he said, his voice muffled by her hair, his hands pressing against her back. Finally he pulled back and turned back towards jack, clearing his throat and swallowing painfully, trying not to think about it because even though he could blame it on the snow he didn't want to cry, what nonsense was this?
"Right. Rose," he sniffed and pressed his hand to his forehead as he started to pace again. "Think. Think." he growled and smacked his head lightly. "Yes! You said you had some data disks for me..." He sniffed again and took a deep breath, blinking snow away before pointing to Jack, spinning on his heel and almost slipping a little. "Jack, I've been thinking, it's a big thought and it's not very nice at all, but I have been thinking and something has occurred to me, I'm not sure if I'm right yet but I need you to check the vortex for the amount of Dark Matter, the system should tell you whether it's increased or not..." He was excusing Jack into the TARDIS, his hand holding up the key into the air, it glinting in the night.
He wanted to talk to her alone.

Glancing between the two of them, Jack was a bit hesitant to leave them alone like this. He knew they would be able to handle things just fine, but it still didn't keep him from worrying that one or both of them would end up with bruised emotions. But this was between the two of them whether he liked it or not, and so he nodded, taking the keys from The Doctor's hand.
"Sure thing, Doctor," he agreed, going over to the TARDIS and opening the door. He glanced over his shoulder one last time, trying to make sure he didn't need to stay, before going inside, the door closing behind him as though the TARDIS knew what her Doctor wanted.
Slipping the keys into his pocket, Jack went up to the console, going to the screen and bringing up what he knew would show him the amount of dark matter. A slight increase, but nothing to be too worried about, at least not yet, and he knew The Doctor well enough to know that this had simply been to get rid of him for a bit, as convincing as he was.
He fiddled around with the controls a bit, the screen coming up to show The Doctor and Rose outside. Jack paused, debating turning on the sound as well, listening in to make sure things didn't take a turn for the worst. But that was wrong. And not only that, but The Doctor always knew somehow. So he switched it back to the screen he'd been on without a second thought, frowning a little when he saw the dark matter had increased again. That was odd.
"Doct-" he started, but stopped, chuckling to himself when he remembered that he was in there alone. It was weird, being in the TARDIS alone, and he was pretty sure it had never happened to him before, at least not that he could remember, and he found he didn't like it. Too quiet. He shook his head a little, keeping an eye on the readings. If it got too bad, then he would get The Doctor.
