The Doctor squinted and followed her to the door at her words. He came up behind her and peaked his head out, looking around, eyes wide.

And then they narrowed. "Bugger! Not again!" He rushed back inside the TARDIS and to the console, clicking keys, checking readings on the view screen.

He sent a mental scolding to the TARDIS, who merely blew what was much akin to a raspberry at him in return.

"Oi!" he cried. "I'm trying to find someplace nice for Christmas, and you land us in London! Why?"

The TARDIS didn't answer him.

He groaned. "Stubborn..."

He sighed at his two companions. "We might be stuck here in London, until the old girl decides she wants to take us someplace different." He sighed and touched a hand to the time rotor. "I don't know what's wrong with her..."

Slowly, as though she were reluctant to tear her eyes away from the conundrum outside of the TARDIS, Rose retreated into the console room. She shut the door behind her but remained near the entrance, her back against the wood.

"Stuck in London's not so bad. There's worse places to be stuck, I'm sure." Rose tapped her foot against the grating and listened to the dull thud it produced. "Still, 's a bit odd. 'Specially since you ended up accidentally in London before, right? When I found the TARDIS..."

Rose had hoped that the original accidental appearance had been because of her, because she had been in London and the TARDIS had come to retrieve her. This second materialization shed doubt on the theory.

Rose decided not to think about how long they might be stuck in London. Instead, she smiled back at Donna and the Doctor. "We can still make the best of it though...Hot chocolate, candy canes, caroling!"

Rose was right. It was odd that he kept landing in 21st century Britain. London or Cardiff.

The Doctor looked over the console more, trying to figure out if anything was truly wrong with his TARDIS, or if she was just being a pain in his backside.

He looked up at the word 'caroling' in disgust. "Oh, no, Rose Tyler. I am not singing in public. You can forget it."

In all honesty, Rose Tyler was not overly fond of caroling. She had nothing against singing, but she did not make it a habit to run from door to door singing on Christmas; however, the Doctor's protest was too strong not to tease.

She huffed a sigh and leveled a look at the Doctor, showing plainly that no back-talk would be tolerated. "Now, Doctor," she began as her hands found themselves perched on her hips. "There's no need t'spoil the fun. It's jus' one night and there's no reason to be fussy about singin' to a bunch of strangers."

It was rather hard to keep her smile from bubbling to the surface; it was doubly hard to keep from waggling her eyebrows and threatening that later would take a whole lot longer to arrive if the Doctor did not cooperate with Rose's diabolical Christmas plans.

Martha Jones sighed irritably and quickened her pace, wrapping her arms around herself for extra warmth. She couldn't believe that the local shop didn't have any milk. She knew it was 6 o'clock on Christmas Eve, but she'd ran out of milk and she needed a mug of tea, damnit!

She'd worked an early shift at the Hospital so she could have Christmas Day off. Not that she was going to be doing any special. Her flat was still not finished, let alone decorated. She'd be having dinner with her family, and probably opening presents with them, but that was it.

She sighed again and continued walking, head down and immersed in her own thoughts.

The Doctor walked along idly, looking for a place that sold hot chocolate. He sighed, and shoved his hands into his pockets. Something was definitely not right. The TARDIS wouldn't leave 21st century Britain, and there were 4 1/2 Time Lords running around apparently. This was probably the reason why the TARDIS wouldn't leave.

And yet...all he could think about was Rose's promise of "later."

He grinned to himself, but still searched for some sort of shop that sold a decent cup of hot chocolate.

He glanced up for a moment, and caught sight of Martha, walking along. He raised a hand in a wave and gave her a grin.

Something compelled Martha to look up from the grey pavement and he caught sight of a tall man walking towards her. A familliar grin graced his lips as he waved to her, and Martha couldn't help but smile back at him, her dark mood slipping away from her.

"Doctor!" She laughed, jogging the last few metres up to the Time Lord, "I thought you had gone already!"

((ooc; I'm not going to be able to reply after this one. I have to get up early for work tomorrow morning...damn these time differences! *headdesk* I'll reply as soon as I can, ok?))

(OOC: Sounds good. I'm hella distracted with my book 7 anyways. ;))

His grinned faltered a bit. "Well, turns out the TARDIS really doesn't want to leave 21st century Britain. I've been sent to fetch hot chocolate. What are you doing out on Christmas Eve? Shouldn't you be with that family of yours?"

Rose could feel the anticipation of hot chocolate traveling through her body; it started in the back of her mind and then uncurled, causing her head to tilt and her foot to bounce against the grating of the console room.

She had discarded her jacket and had draped her scarf over seat. Her heavily lined boots were becoming too warm and she was itching to remove them. Rose kicked at her own feet, twisting the footwear away from her.

At every fleeting sound she would glance upwards and sniff the air for the tell-tale scent of warm drinks. She sat and waited for Donna to appear in order to inform the woman of the unexpected detour. She also waited for the Doctor.

The Doctor opened up the TARDIS doors and stepped in, followed by Martha. "Hello! I've got hot chocolate! And Martha!" He smiled at Rose, and then looked around. "Donna's still getting situated then?"

The the sound of the Doctor's voice, Rose tossed aside the magazine she had been reading. It had been found in her room and was a couple years out of date. But the fashion faut-pas of the past were easily forgotten when she held out her hands to receive the hot chocolate ( ... )

Martha followed The Doctor into the TARDIS and smiled at the familiar surroundings. It was almost like coming home.

Her eyes caught movement around the console and she looked to see what it was. A woman was walking towards them, and she smiled as she accepted one of the cups from The Doctor. She was blonde and slim with blue eyes and a wide bow-shaped mouth. Martha knew, somehow, that this was the almost legendry Rose Tyler.

She watched as the blond drank from her hot chocolate, seeminly not noticing she was there. Martha got the impression that she was stalling, and annoyance shot through her, along with a streak of jealousy. She squashed them down and calmed herself, knowing that being childish wasn't going to do any good.

"Hello, Rose." she replied, returning her smile with one of her own, hoping that it didn't look as forced as it actually was.
