"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

I. Exploring Main Street! Take a trip through a little town taken straight from 1890's America. Visit the shops, dine at the restaurants- but don't forget you are here on a mission. As an Apprentice, you will need to gather some supplies. A weapon, or tool for producing magic.

But we understand if that corn dog cart on Market Street is your first stop.

II. Apprentice Class 101! Practice your spell casting and weaponship on the open commons behind the Firehouse. Sparring, casting or just general confusion abound here. Try not to hit anything or...anyone, the paint on the infirmary is still drying.

III. Look out! A level 2 corroded monster has managed to get onto Main Street! Protect the citizens and defeat the cur, and please watch the damage, the paint is still wet!

IV. One Little Spark! Go ahead, show us the strength of your imagination and come up with your own scenarios. Just, stay out of the Corroded Lands...if possible.

"Oi you! Get back here!!!" She tries to grab his coat, but blimey he's fast!!!

So she takes a shortcut.

Shortcut.

As in, using the rope she'd gotten, to abseil down the side of the building wall outside. And she thought she was useless.

And then she waits right outside the door for him to run out. So she can trip him!

[guitar_hero]

Look, it's all he can do to run down those steps let alone trying to run back up them. Anyway, getting back here produces an almost Pavlovian Response in him to run faster. And he does. Only to startle as she's by the door which is fine because then he goes flying over her foot and staggering along windmilling a bit until he catches himself by barking his elbow against a statue.

"What did you do that for? When someone is running away, it's polite to let them."

[bigbadrose]

"It's impolite to barge in on someone having a mo' alone in the first place! And to throw random mysteries at their head! And to swan off ignoring any damage!!" Bad wolf huff.

[guitar_hero]

.... "Alright. Fair point." He gently takes her by the upper arms, not quite at all even really meeting her eyes but close enough by a microscopic hair so the sentiment is still the same.

"I'm sorry for causing damage. There there. You will be just fine." Head smooch.

"Now...see you on the flip side." Swan off attempt number two.

[bigbadrose]

If Rose hadn't been a complete tea kettle going off its rocker and actually spilling tea, or at the very least: hot water in the form of tears, and had a very rough emotionally exhausting day, on top of the worst year of her life, even worse than the one with Jimmy... That would have actually stunned her and bought him time to escape.

Instead she kicks his shins and rages, "Who the hell are you?!"

[guitar_hero]

He manages to avoid that kick somehow, though it's a near thing. He sighs and frowns at her. They are going to get into it, aren't they. He didn't want to get into it. Didn't even know if he should get into it. This kind of thing getting into was not easily gotten out of. But he could never shut any door all the way, especially when she was standing right in front of him in pain.

With a soft sigh, he wraps his arms around her and pulls her close. She fits just under his chin like she used to and a little more snugly than she used to and the smell of her hair hasn't changed a bit in 2,000 years.

"It's me... Sorry."

[bigbadrose]

There was only one "me" that counted, and she's not even 100% sure he hasn't mistaken her for someone else like she did to Crowley, but her eyes flood up all the same, and she instantly lets herself melt into the hug and cry and cry... And so much crying. "I'm sorry for trying to kick you..." A small laugh between the tears, because that was true no matter what, and she hugs him again, listening for two hearts, and yes, there it is, so she sobs and bawls even more. "I thought you were dead!!! Or the darkness got you!! Or I'd n-never see you again!!!!!" All the bawling. She really feels like Alice now, crying a river that floods the whole of Wonderland and creates a sea. The Disney helps distract her into sniffles and calm down a little. "Don't let go."

She can't tell if it's a dream, or a nightmare, but she doesn't want to wake up. And she feels like she'll break if he puts her down.

[guitar_hero]

"I won't." He holds onto her, stroking her hair. Feelings. He's not so good at them. But he's learned and that's what's important. "I don't die easily. Or easily permanently..." But she knows that so maybe it's a moot point.

"But come on. Cheer up. I'm here. You're here... And..." he sniffs the air and lies. "I smell chips." He doesn't but he's going to damn well find some.

[bigbadrose]

"Yeah," a genuine smile breaking through the tears like sun through rain. "I want chips," she echoed from their first date. "And coffee," she added sternly, because she really needed something to refill her energy meter that was drained just from too much emotions in one day. Alcohol could work, but with the older Doctor right there, she'd fall asleep in his lap, still begging him not to disappear.

She wanted to kiss him, but alas, he ran away from her, so it would probably hurt him. A depressing thought she didn't want to deal with. She was definitely going to cling to him harder than ever though, and that was truly saying something.

[guitar_hero]

"Sounds good." He kisses her hands before holding hers and starting in a hopefully chips and coffeward direction, absently swinging their hands between them, hoping to cheer her up.

"When are you from anyway?"

[bigbadrose]

That did cheer her up. A lot. Sky-high, walking on rainbows, giddier than anything. Everything was right in the multiverse again, she could practically Wizard of Oz yellow brick road skip wherever they were headed.

"Bad Wolf. No, Bad Wolf Bay." A head shake. He had to be ahead of her, so it was fine. Or at least, in time with her. Whichever. "Tony, my baby brother's a year and a half now, maybe more, haven't seen him lately. Been tryin' to make sure Donna Noble would always catch your fall, and--"

She paused and glomped him again in the middle of the street and everything. Two hearts. The most reassuring sound she'd been missing for years. "You scared me...." she cried softly into his shirt again, refusing to let go or really walk backwards for his sake for a moment. "You scared me so much. Without her, you didn't regenerate, just drowned under the Thames, and there was other times, and I know... I know it's not real, and you don't remember them, because I made them not happen, but I was so scared. This corruption, it's like the Darkness, isn't it??? Did I find you in between Da's universe and now? What happened??? Can you tell me why you regenerated??? Are you alone??" Just... all the clinging.
