001 [Video | Action]

[iwasherefirst]

[The young, blonde woman wearing the purple jacket ends up on the carousel instead of the fountain. She weaves her way through the animals, pausing to pick up the device on the ground. She fiddles with it, manages to get it to broadcast video and peers down at it.]

Well this is different, innit? Captain Mamgambo? I think we've had a bit of a glitch. [She takes a short breath, allowing herself for a moment to hope for something that makes her ache.]

Doctor? Couldn't get lucky enough to have you listening in, could I?

[That makes Rose laugh.] M'certainly glad you did.

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

As am I, to be sure. Similarly so that you've been along for the ride.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

The nice thing 'bout you bein' human, if you were here right now, I could hug you. Bit harder to do with a box.

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

[Her face lights up.]

Oh, hugging! I'd like that.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

In that case, where you at?

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

I'm there. --No, sorry, will be there, where you are, in approximately two-hundred and forty-nine seconds.

[Rose laughs softly and nods.]

I'll wait here then.

[It's not long before Rose is half-attacked with an eager hug. She gets a kiss on the cheek, too, as a bonus.]

Hello! Am I late?

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[Being half-attacked with a hug is a wonderful thing. It makes Rose grin from ear to ear.]

I think you are here at the perfect time, just like always.

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

[Oh, at this rate, she's definitely going to get a big head.]

I supppose that's right, isn't it? Like the wizard in the book. Oh, just look at you!

[She swishes a finger through the air, tracing the curve of Rose's smile.]

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[Well she likes to give the Doctor a big head too, so it's only fair the TARDIS gets to benefit as well.]

Me! Look at you! Human! or human looking. Guess bein' in a human body doesn't make you human.

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

No. Well, only a little. Perhaps mostly. Humans are all so different, I don't know how I should know! But, well, here I am, whatever I am.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

A bit of both then. Unique.

[is-was-willbe.livejournal.com]

[A self-gratified smile.]

Just so. Unique.
