[The Doctor is making last minute checks around the console, hitting several levelers and buttons before he turns to the screen grinning like a mad man.]

Ohhhh this door is brilliant isn't it? Anyone gone through yet?

[He hits another switch.]

Check. Check. Hmm...

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully.]

I seem to be missing something. No, not that.

[He turns around and sees a clutter of equipment in the corner.]

Got those...

[And then it hits him.]

Oh, Rose? Are you still around? Time is ticking.

[missrosetyler]

Why are you in such a hurry? Did you note the weather today?

[reallygreathair]

Why? What's with the weather?

[missrosetyler]

There's purple storm clouds. Don't tell me you've been holed up in there all this time?

[reallygreathair]

Wellllll, I have to make sure everything's in working order. So far, so good. You need to hurry up, though. The tea's getting cold.

[missrosetyler]

There's tea?

[This makes her want to pack faster.]

Scones too, yeah?

[reallygreathair]

Of course.

[He's popping one into his mouth.]

How much stuff do you have?

[missrosetyler]

Two suit cases so far.

I'm trying to decide what else to take. I mean we're never coming back here, yeah?

[reallygreathair]

Definitely not, no. How many suitcases are you bringing?

[missrosetyler]

3 I think.

[If she can carry them that is. She is having a hard time just dragging one.]

Or maybe 2.

[reallygreathair]

[Now he's remembering Donna. She had a lot of luggage too.]

Why are you humans such pack rats?

[missrosetyler]

Why are you aliens so impatient?

[She drops one and it hits her foot.]

Okay then. Maybe just one.

[reallygreathair]

[Good thing her flat never caught fire, he thinks.]

What exactly are you taking with you?

[missrosetyler]

[That he knows of.]

Just some clothes. Some you really like I think.

[And she's on her way towards the TARDIS dragging the suitcase.]

[reallygreathair]

Alright. Well, don't be too long now.

[He's really had enough of the City and can't wait to leave.]

[Action]

[missrosetyler]

[There's a knock at the door and she looks exhausted.]

Doctor?

Re: [Action]

[reallygreathair]

Yes! Right on the first guess.

Re: [Action]

[missrosetyler]

[She knocks again expecting him to come to the door. This time it's even louder.]

Can you please open the door?

Re: [Action]

[reallygreathair]

Oh! Right! Sorry.

[He dashes over and opens the door.]

Hello! You took your time.

Re: [Action]

[missrosetyler]

[She looks at him despite her annoyance she smiles.]

Yeah well that happens when you're carrying things.

[She motions to the heavy suit case behind her which she grabs and drags.]

Didn't think it'd be this heavy.

Re: [Action]

[reallygreathair]

Like I said, pack rat.

Re: [Action]

[missrosetyler]

[She glares at him dragging the suitcase inside and then plopping down on the pilot's chair.]

So, scones, tea?

Re: [Action]

[reallygreathair]

By the console.

[He points in the general direction.]

At least you don't have hat boxes.

Re: [Action]

[missrosetyler]

Why would I have hat boxes? I don't wear hats.

[She looks over and it seems so far away.]

Re: [Action]

[reallygreathair]

Long story. Don't want to bore you with the details. Did you pass by the shop or something?

Re: [Action]

[missrosetyler]

No.

[She gets up and loses her balance reaching for a scone slamming against the console. She attempts to catch herself.]

I like long stories.
