WHO: Rose Tyler and Daniel Jackson.
WHERE: The courtyard of the apartments.
WHEN: Evening.
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: In progress.

Rose was sitting on a bench, looking up at the stars. It was a pretty evening, but the clear sky just made her miss the way things used to be. She wasn't like the Doctor or Jack, constantly needing to move around and hide from the thought of settling down or domesticity...or at least that was the Jack she'd known. This new Jack was a stranger almost. In any case, she wasn't like the Doctor...and boy, did she sometimes wish the Doctor was capable of settling down. But that didn't mean that she didn't get restless. Because the Doctor had showed her terrible and wonderful things, and this planet seemed so small in comparison.

"I've been up there," she mused. "Up in space. I've seen so many things...things nobody would ever believe. I've seen other worlds...other realities...I've seen so much. I've saved the world...saved worlds, really...destroyed and brought life...and now I'm stuck in a bloody flat in America."

Well, this was beyond frustrating. Daniel Jackson sauntered out into the courtyard as if he didn't have a care in the world, but close observation would reveal the worried look that seemed permanently etched across his features. As much as he enjoyed vacations, he preferred for them to be planned. From what he could ascertain, he was in New York City, but he hadn't found any concrete answers.

It was only a matter of time before he SGC would figure out he was missing. SG-1 was scheduled for a typical mission in only a few hours, and then all hell would break loose. Perhaps not literally. His job was usually high-risk, and it seemed as if every other week something was threatening his life.

It was around that time that he realized he wasn't the only one gazing at the stars. The specific words carried across the space between them, piquing his interest. "Wait, you're saying that you've been up to the stars as well?" Immediately, he regretted the words and dismissed his action as bad ones made under duress. What if this girl was a Goa'uld? She certainly seemed to make lofty claims.

She hadn't even realised anyone was there, until the man spoke and she found herself feeling like a bit of an idiot. "Oh," she said, "thought I was alone...I mean...didn't see you there." She gave an embarrassed smile. "Bet I sounded a bit ridiculous, didn't I? Not that it's not all true, but it must just sound like I was a complete nutter." She shook her head. "I'm guessing you're new here? I'm Rose."

She looked back up. "But...yeah, I've been up to the stars," she said. "Wait...you said 'as well'? You've been up there too? What are you, then? Not like the Doctor...too American...one of those Time Agency blokes? Like Jack? Never mind...not really important I guess." She shrugged.

"I didn't mean to sound all lofty and important before...just so you know. There was this time...there were these creatures. Daleks. And the Doctor, he's got this ship, the TARDIS...and it was all gonna end...but I looked inside the ship...in her heart...and it filled me up...the Vortex...and I don't really remember what happened...but apparently I destroyed the daleks...brought Jack back to life...did that a bit too well really...I guess I'm sort of complicated, you could say. But not really. Only sometimes."

A good chunk of the information the girl was babbling made little to no sense, and he wasn't afraid to admit it. "Whoa, whoa. Time Agency? And yes, I have been up there. To several different planets." He felt slightly apprehensive when it came to divulging information on the stargate project. It was classified after all, and if anyone from another country ever found out...

It would be a foreign relations nightmare to say the least.

"Um. My name's Daniel Jackson. And I am a doctor... in archaeology and anthropology mostly.

He had to smile at the last part of her exposition, "Honestly, I didn't get half of that. By vortex, do you mean the wormhole through the stargates? And what's a dah-lek? It's not a race I've heard of." He couldn't translate that into any language he knew, and he knew well over twenty different ones. Knowing his luck, this girl was just an avid RPG junkie. He supposed he could always pass himself off as the same in the worst case scenario. "Trust me, I get complicated."
