The Stuff Life is Made Of, 3/5

“Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooose! Wake up please wake up it’s light outside won’t you wake up!” Ian streaked into her room, launching himself onto her bed, and she fought back a groan. She had a terrible headache, the stress of her encounter with the Doctor the night before ensuring she’d had a night full of stressful dreams.

She opened her

arrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's so not fair. Cliffhanger of Rasillion!

Your timing with my arrival home in the evening is pretty much perfect by the way. Thank you!

We have a feeling we'll be saying this a lot: we'd not meant to make it such a cliffie! However, we had to split the chapter in half--which meant we had to split it right there, in the midst of the cliffie of doom!

Welcome home from work (although you're most liked asleep by now). Look for more tomorrow, at about the same time!

NOOOOOO! Don't go chasing him! Let him come back again. He's probably just playing tourist with Donna. Giving Rose space and time to think. Of course the git wouldn't think to leave a note.....
I can just see Rose reach Sydney and the Tardis reappears in the garden. She hops back on the plane and he goes back to Sydney.....

Don't go chasing him! Let him come back again.

It's such a Rose trait, however, to be active instead of passive. Of course she'd go after him!

Now that's what I call a cliff-hanger.

Hopefully there's a reason (hell, scrub that, this is the Doctor; there's always a reason. Hopefully it's a decent one, and Rose won't kill him the next time she sees him.

this is the Doctor; there's always a reason.

Exactly! That reason will become apparent tomorrow, in the section that was supposed to be posted today (but wasn't).

I imagine it has something to do with that conversation we saw between Ten and Donna towards the end of this chapter?

(Bless him, though; after all his experience of human interaction he still doesn't have a clue about it, does he?)

Grrrr. Mickey had better leave a tiny piece for me. I'll stomp it flat, if I can do no other harm...

[carlisle_coop]

You may have to queue behind the other members of the Cooperative--we were quite eager to give Ten a very stern talking-to!

[kalleah]

No way. You didn't cliff-hang us.

Oh yes. You did. For shame. ::waggles finger::

[carlisle_coop]

We did.

*hang heads in shame*

It was most assuredly not our intent: Cliffhangers can be downright cruel, to be quite honest. But...seventeen pages is, apparently, far too much for LJ to process.

We hope you'll find tomorrow's installment (labelled "Chapter 3b" on the Poster's hard-drive) to be worth the wait. And that you'll find Friday's to be even more so.
