All at once Rose's expression change. She felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her head. For the second time since they'd met, he gave her the cold shoulder. Had she always been that clumsy with her words or was this a recent failing? Could it be the Doctor overlooked far too many of her flaws but John, having only partial memories, saw her for who she really was? As he turned to leave she grabbed his arm.
"John... I've said something wrong haven't I?" she asked gently, "I... I'm sorry..."

John looked at her softly. He put on that famous Doctor smile and lifted her chin. "Don't worry about it. No one is perfect."
[I'm so sorry, I've been doing so many short posts crying ]

Rose stared at him in curious wonder. He was every bit the Doctor she remembered, even when put off by something she did or said...
Rose, just say your sorry... he was a different man when he'd ordered her that, but in that moment she'd known he would never leave her. Not even if she almost destroyed the universe.
"Right then, so where are you going?" she asked scratching Jack under his chin.

She held in a laugh by smiling but leaving her mouth closed, more like she forced it to close. Amy glanced at john as he was about to leave. It was strange to her how john had started to act so much like the doctor but in a way she sort of liked it. She got up and followed the making sure to stay by both of their sides.

Jack wagged his tail and licked Roses hand. John smiled "Just going over to the playhouse. I have to rehearse. The first preformence is tonight." he said while now pulling away and opened the door.

Rose smiled as the puppy licked her hand.
"Mind if I tag along?" she asked, "I've nothing planned for today, it's not as if I have a job to go off to."
She wondered just how long she would have to stay put. A month? Two? Either way, there was only so much she could keep him safe from before Torchwood came along poking their nose into other people's affairs.

"Sure come along if you like" he said as he bolted down the stairs and crossed the street quickly were a car almost hit him. And did a fast walk towards the bridge that would take him across the river to the playhouse that sat right next to the river.

Rose watched him carelessly speed off as if he were used to it. She practically chased him down, rounding a corner just as a car sped towards him. She gasped and drew her Sonic just in time to cause the car to stall and avoid slamming into him. Rose watched in growing concern as he took off completely oblivious of the fact that he had nearly become roadkill.
"This man's going to be the death of me..." she muttered as she followed close behind keeping an eye out for any more dangers. Eventually she followed him into the playhouse. A few theater junkies were loitering in the front rows watching the rehearsal with pleased expressions.
On the stage was someone, clearly NOT John, playing the part of Hamlet. So he really was late... she scooted to the shadows and watched the ongoing production silently.

Amy tried her best to keep up with the duo. She ran after them as rose ran after john and john ran off on his merry way, oblivious to the world around him. She catched her breath as she sat down in the theater watching the movie alongside rose.

John jumped up onto the stage. "Hi! Sorry I'm late!" the director gave a glare to him then saw Rose coming in behind him and turned to a smile. "All is well" he said while shooing off the other actor. John started to act out his part without even bothering to change and little Jack's head was poking out of his bag still.
"To be, or not to be, — that is the question: —
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? — To die, to sleep, —
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, — 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; —
To sleep, perchance to dream: — ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death, —
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, — puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know naught of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action." he said after doing a beautiful job of the scene.

The shooed actor glared daggers at the intruder but stormed off stage where he muttered disparaging remarks about John Smith's sudden popularity to a stage hand. The stage hand seemed to share the sentiment as they both sneered at John's performance.
Rose was mesmerized, rooted in place as it were. At first he'd just looked silly, hopping on stage with a puppy sticking it's helmeted head out of his satchel... but his words soon moved her. It was as if he'd become someone else; a tragic figure lost and wandering aimlessly searching for hope. He had become the Doctor. A single man with the weight of the universe on his shoulders... always so dashing, and always so alone... with no one to hold his hand... Tears spilled from Rose's eyes and she realized then why the Doctor had chosen to become an actor, it suited him.
Oh Doctor, how I wish I could simply hold you... if only to let you knoe you're not alone anymore.

John sighed after doing this seen. He felt like he just expressed something deep inside him. He looked over at the director who looked not to happy but showed that he knew John had done a great job. He then walked over to the director. "What's wrong old chap?" he grinned.

There were hushed murmurs of approval from the drama fans in the aisles, but Rose could only stare at John with a stunned look on her face.
"He's a good one isn't he?" a young man with a pale blue turtleneck asked, "Do you know him?"
"Huh? Oh, y-yes. We've met."
"I don't know, George," muttered a young woman wearing an outfit that screamed 'I am artistic'. "Less is more, and he seems to... genuine. I prefer Roland's interpretation. I was looking forward to him finishing the speech..."
"I think you're simply biased because Roland is your boyfriend, Alice," George replied smoothly.
"Whatever, he's still far more professional than this... this... John Smith dunce! Honestly, he just sauntered on stage, with no sense of decorum whatsoever," she replied snippily.
Rose decided right then and there, that she didn't like Alice. Placing her hand inside her pocket she activated her Sonic and Alice's chair fell to pieces.
"WHAA!!" she screamed before hitting the ground hard.
"Hm... maybe she had one too many slices of cake," Rose said with a smirk, "Less is more after all..."

Amy smiled at john's performance in awe. He was an amazing doctor. The way he just expressed himself and the character on the stage, was just completely awesome. She watched at the woman, alice, talked about john in a bad way. She held in a laugh as she covered her mouth while smiling. She finnally let out a laugh when rose said her comment. "I agree" she replied smiling at rose. "Poor alice needs to lighten up on the cakes, the chair can't handle her" she said bursting into laughter. But amy had to admit that john with or without costume was awesome at acting.

John looked over and saw the fallen women and Rose and Amy laughing. "Now now ladies." he said while jumping down from the stage to the women and helped her up.
