I'm not a huge Rose fan, but the Rani got away from me.

The first time the Rani met the Doctor since the Time War, it was… strange. He had questionable taste (wasn't that new). The depressing black leather might've been worse than the colorful coat or… urgh, the sweater vest. His ears were large (were they satellites?), his hair was cut short, and he had a Northern accent. All in all… eh.

Then there was his companion. She was really young, barely even out of school, had badly-done peroxide blonde hair, way too much mascara, and a leather jacket. Tony honestly couldn't say that they were a fan of her look. They didn't have something against her, but… there were just better companions. There was the one girl, the botanist, there was the other… Mel, was it (?) whose scream was practically a sonic weapon (and if it were, it would be more effective than Theta's silly screwdriver), and the girl who became the first human to go to the Prydonian Academy. Honestly… there were just better choices.

They met when Tony was investigating possible alien activity. They were in the Iron Man armor, looking ferocious. That was when the Doctor and his companion charmed their way through the barrier. The girl looked scared for a moment.

"Doctor! Look! What is that!?"

The Doctor turned and looked towards where the girl was pointing. He grinned, face lighting up. "Oh Rose! It's Iron Man! Tony Stark!"

They lifted the face-plate just as they heard the girl ask a question. "Stark? Like, Stark Industries, the weapons makers?" Tony's smile soured when she mentioned weapons.

"We don't make weapons anymore. May I ask who you two are, and why you, who looks like a high schooler, is here?"

The girl looked to be angry, but the Doctor stepped in front of her and raised a piece of paper. "UNIT officer John Smith and my assistant Rose."

Tony looked unimpressed for a moment. "Yeah, that's blank." The Doctor looked startled. "So I don't know who the Hell you are, but you need to get out." They powered up their repulsors. "So out." The two looked offended, but left.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to comment and I might write that with a callout to you.
