Tweak says, "Listen, do you hear them..."

Rose M. Tyler (

Rose rolled her eyes, but smirked. "Sweetheart, I don't think anything is odder than this. Even the Doctor is stumped, and I've seen him get out of plenty of tight spots." Okay, sure, some of them were her fault, and he got her out of them with barely a word about how irresponsible she could be. But that was because usually, she meant well! Even the bit with her dad, she was just trying to do what was right. Even if it was, well, very wrong.

She leaned her chin in her hands and smiled, mostly to herself. "It was impressive to me!" she defended, remembering. "It was 1869, I think, that's pretty impressive right there. And there was a race of aliens trying to take over our bodies. Also pretty impressive." Oh, if the Doctor could hear, his ego would be well stroked. "And? Met Charles Dickens. Yep, that's what I said, Charles Dickens." Her grin was impulsive despite herself. "Beautiful city you've got there? Honestly, though... If I had to be trapped on Earth again?" And, the last she remembered, she had been. How she'd met back up with the Doctor was still a mystery to her. "I know I couldn't just go back to working in a shop. I'd want to do something like you lot are doing. Protecting the planet as best you can without leaving Earth."
