I was looking forward to this more than the actual episode airing today, that's how awesome this fic is.

:D Aww thanks! I'm glad you're liking it so much.

If I did not already know who was writing this fic, this would have been the line that clued me in.

LOL we were joking about our own tropes when we were writing this.

OMG, Pizza Delivery Guy is like the last job I would ever picture the Doctor taking. This is so bizarre.

LOL right? I have a hard time picturing him doing any kind of job, tbh, but especially one like that.

This is getting painful to read, seriously. Even if she were completely honest with him about what she does know, she has no reason to think he'd believe her, so the lies just keep building...

Yeah, Rose isn't exactly at her best here, though she thinks she's acting in his best interest. To be fair, though, it would be pretty hard to sit someone down and inform them they're part-alien from a parallel universe, lol.

I'm not sure why she calls him at the end though... he doesn't remember anything about the Squadra so he can't exactly help her fight them off, and given the circumstances a Squadra attack is likely the last place he'd be willing to visit anyway. Hhhmm.

You get to hear the rest of the phone call in the next chapter, so hopefully the next part clears this up for you!

Thanks for reading! I'm hoping to put up the next part soon.
