A/N Here is my new Doctor Who story starring the Doctor and Rose! It's an idea I got while on holiday in Weymouth, Dorset. The sea inspires me for some weird reason. I don't know if this will be one of my better fics. I really hope so! I watched loads of old episodes to get Rose right...so fingers crossed you'll like it! Reviews would be amazing.
Disclaimer: Doctor Who is not mine. You know it, I know it.
"We go to the beach and it rains. That is just so typical."
"This is England, Rose. It wouldn't be England if it didn't rain. You should be glad we're not on Caputo 37. Rains ALL the time on that planet. They've got these really neat umbrellas though. They don't have handles, they just hover over you. Isn't that amazing?"
"I'm cold and wet and could really do with one of them. Got one on you? "
The Doctor began to rummage in his pockets
"Er...I've got sonic screwdriver, psychic paper, a half eaten chocolate and banana sandwich, a copy of Twilight from the year 3034, a clockwork mouse and Mr Bean's Holiday on DVD. But no umbrella from Caputo 37. Sorry. Oh, and what's this? A plastic model of Pikachu. "
"What's Twilight?"
"It's one of the bestselling books from your century. Due out in three years time. "
"What's it about?"
"Vampires."
"Urgh, disgusting, ugly things. All fangs and coffins, right? I'd take aliens any day!"
"Um, actually Twilight is about...never mind. Wouldn't want to spoil it for you!"the Doctor beamed. A bit of rain wasn't going to spoil his happy mood.
The rain was coming down steadily, and though the two were trying to shelter under a row of lonely holiday homes, the wind blew the rain straight into their faces.
"Where is everything?" moaned Rose. "It's the seaside! There should be fun fairs and fish n chip shops and amusement arcades and..."
"A little shop? I like little shops."
"Yeah, a little shop that sells ice cream and sweets! Not just sea, sand, rain and a force 10 gale!"
"Actually, judging by the sea, it's only about force 6. Or force 7. Maybe."
"We're in the middle of no-where! And the TARDIS is way back there somewhere!"
Rose gestured behind her in frustration. They had been enjoying a nice walk along the seafront, when someone in the sky had decided they'd been having too much fun. The rain poured down suddenly, harsh and freezing. Now they were stuck out in it.
"I think the towns up here. Somewhere. Let's keep moving," the Doctor suggested.
"I've got a better idea," Rose grinned.
She grabbed the Doctor's hand, and before he knew what was happening, they were dashing through the rain, tripping through puddles and splashing each other. The sea crashed against the wall beside the path they were on, occasionally slopping onto the pavement. Rose squealed as a wave of water almost hit her. She stopped suddenly. The Doctor kept going and tripped over. Rose barely noticed. She was peering over the grey wall into the water.
"Was something moving just now? In the sea?" Rose stared at the angry waves pounding against the stone wall, almost like they were trying to reach for her and the Doctor and pull them in. A wild spray of foam hit her face.
"No. I didn't see anything. What did it look like?"
"There's an "it"?
"You said you saw something!" the Doctor was now scanning the vast expanse of water, searching for Rose's "it".
"Yeah, I just...never mind. It was probably nothing."
"Sure?"
"Come on, let's get to that fish n chip place, yeah?"
She pointed to a building that had appeared ahead of them. It was hard to make out in the rain, but it looked as though "CHIPS" was painted on it in big red letters.
"O.K. Chips are good. Shelter is better," the Doctor agreed, but a red flag had been raised inside his mind. Something in the sea, something in the sea it nagged him.
A/N Oh, and the Doctor having weird things in his pockets was someone else's idea. I can't quite remember whose- think it might have been WeepingAngel123's. So I hope it's O.K to borrow it.
