Chapter 1-Holding Hands

Rose quietly watched the Doctor. He was looking around, worriedly, as though calculating something.
"Doctor, what're you doing?" Rose asked. "We've been here for 'round an hour now, and we aren't finding nothing."
"You're right," the Doctor said, somewhat disappointed. "There isn't anything here."
"Can we go now? Let's just have some fun," Rose begged.
"Fun, doing what?" the Doctor asked.
"We could...go to an amusement park, or visit my mum, or go watch an exploding star," she replied. "There doesn't have to be a riot or deadly spaceman for it to be fun!"
"You're quite right," the Doctor said. "Let's just go to the TARDIS, we can head for Planet Z."
"Planet Z?"
"You'll see."
The Doctor grinned and started strolling off towards the TARDIS, hands in his pockets.
"Doctor, wait!" Rose complained, running up to stay alongside him. "What's Planet Z like? Is there life there?"
"There's life everywhere, Rose Tyler! You should know that by now."
"I do, just new planets, new questions."
The Doctor's grin widened as he entered the TARDIS, Rose behind him.
Rose crossed her arms and stood by the door, watching him as he started the TARDIS and sent them into orbit. Within moments the TARDIS stopped shaking and the Doctor ran down to open the door. Rose followed him, but on the last step she slipped. She closed her eyes as she fell, surely about to fall straight into the black nothingness of space, but she felt a warm, strong hand grab her's, and she looked up.
"Doctor..." she whispered.
He pulled her back into the TARDIS, not letting go of her hand.
"You have to be more careful, Rose," he said, worriedly. "I don't want to lose you."
Rose couldn't speak, all she did was look down at the Time Lord's hand, which was grasping her own.
It was his right hand.
His fighting hand.
The hand he regrew when he regenerated.
The Doctor seemed to realize he was holding onto her hand and withdrew his own.
"Let's get going," he said. "I want to get on more stationary ground before you have another accident."
With that, he slammed the TARDIS door shut.
