Jack felt like a new man when he woke up that morning after his day of luxuriating the previous day. He grinned to himself as he showered and dressed. Not that he meant that literally. He was quite happy with the man he had, he just wished he was here. But he felt refreshed and eager to try and find out a bit more about the resort and the planet.

He decided to start outside, see if there was anything obvious. Strange machinery, suspicious buildings, that sort of thing. He saw other people as he prowled around but he avoided them for the most part. He wasn't interested in being distracted today, at least not until he got frustrated in his search in which case, distraction would be a good thing.

He had decided to leave the barns for last, given how large they were and instead turned his steps towards the gardens. For the most part they looked perfectly normal, even the greenhouses were utterly normal. Then he turned a corner and saw something that made him stop in his tracks.

The TARDIS. For a moment he thought he was seeing things. He took a few steps closer and realised he wasn't. She was really there, sitting in the middle of the gardens.

A grin broke out on Jack's face and he started forward eagerly. The Doctor was here! This was the best news he'd had since he woke up here. If anyone could get them out, it was the Doctor. He strode up to the doors of the TARDIS and his grin became rather rueful as he knocked on the doors.

"Doctor?" he called, hoping the Time Lord could hear him.

Rose did her best to follow his rambling about timelines. She had gotten better over time with the whole concept of time paradoxes, though following the tenses often confused her. "I don't think I could imagine two of you. It'd certainly be interesting."

"Wrong? Jack, how could- oh. The whole death thing?" She was quiet again. "So he knew, and he never told me. What- did he just expect you to stay there?"

Jack laughed, remembering what the Doctor had said about that. "The Doctor thought I'd be the only person I'd be likely to stay with. Which was funny and not a bad dig, I'll admit. But wrong."

He sobered and sighed. "I'm a fixed point in time and he's a Time Lord. You can see the problem he has." he leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees, staring down at the ground. "I think he didn't tell you because he didn't want you feeling guilty. When you brought me back, you brought me back for good. It's not your fault. The Doctor said you didn't have any control over the power you had and I'm hardly going to fault you for not wanting me dead." He gave a small grin. "I didn't particuarly want to die."

"As for what he wanted me to do?" Jack shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe help the people on Earth but he... forgot or didn't realise that I didn't know what had happened. All I knew was that I'd died, then I was alive and you were both gone. I wanted to know what happened. That was more important to me at the time."

Rose nodded, biting her lower lip. "I didn't- I thought...I don't know what I thought. I don't think I even knew what I was doing." She was quiet again. "I wonder what- no. I shouldn't think about that. What's important is that you're here, right? And- I mean, yeah, it had to have been hard, but...you're here and we're together- the three of us?" She moved from her chair to lean over, wrapping her arms around him in another hug.
