The Other Side

Prologue

"Rose!" exclaimed Jackie as she welcomed her daughter into her arms.

"Hi Mum," said Rose, smiling. The Doctor stood behind her.

"Jackie," he said.

"Doctor," acknowledged Jackie.

"So, what was so important you had to drag me back home?" asked Rose. "I only visited a couple of weeks ago."

"Please come in and sit down," said Jackie. Rose and the Doctor sat down on the couch, the Doctor's arm protectively around Rose.

"Okay Jackie, what's this about?" said the Doctor.

"Okay," said Jackie. "You know how you and Rose are … um…"

"Together," finished the Doctor. "It's been 15 years Jackie, when are you going to accept it?"

"I'm sorry," said Jackie. "Anyway, you how your lifestyle is somewhat … unorthodox?"

"No, really?" said the Doctor sarcastically. "I thought all families travelled through time and space in a police box."

"Doctor, cut it out," said Rose, giving her husband a glare. "Go on, Mum."

"Well, I thought it might be good for you to experience life on the other side," said Jackie.

"You want us to move out of the TARDIS?!" exclaimed the Doctor.

"No no no," said Jackie. "Well, sort of. But not all of you. And not for very long."

"Mum, I'm really not getting this," said Rose. "What are you saying?" Jackie took a deep breath.

"I sent in the application some time ago," she said. "Today I got a reply. They've accepted you."

"Accepted me for what?" asked Rose anxiously. Jackie picked up a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Rose and the Doctor. They looked at it, and both went wide-eyed.

"Oh no," said the Doctor.

"Oh no," said Rose.

"Oh yes," said Jackie. There, in big capital letters, were 2 words that would change the Doctor and Rose's lives:
