Friends are people.

People who make choices.

People who take steps day after day praying for the future; unfortunately, the world they know is not what it seems to be. A friend can become an enemy, an enemy can become a friend. The mirror isn't always showing the outside, but the inside itself as well.

People are us. Beings on a planet that are afraid, looking everytime behind, holding onto hopes and living for a better life.

Humans are capable of more, the only mistake that is made: Believing in the impossible.

That's how it always goes wrong. 'Dreams' and Ímpossibility' are two kinds of different words, each one leading to another story. That's why, people have to stop thinking, and do instead. And when you know the right moment has come, you can finally, close your eyes, take a deep breath and say: Yes. Allons-y!

"And I told him, " Rose took a short bite from her sandwich " 'Mikey, if you want to use the microwave, you'll first need to plug it in!' "
"No way!" the Doctor laughed "Tell you what. One time I searched the whole Tardis for electricity, she was out that day. And I was so angry because I couldn't find any! But then I remembered: I am electricity myself!"
"You're joking!" she laughed out loud.
"I mean it! And I was nearly exploding every cell of my brain that day. Seems like Mondays aren't my type."
"Mondays are no one's type, Doctor. That's why, I've got an idea."
"And what's that?"
"Let's just stop." she linked her arm with his' , walking on the lighted streets of London.
"What do you mean?"
"Let's stop for a while. I want a vacation, and I don't know how you feel about it, but I got white like a cheesecake."
"You know I don't do domestic, Rose." he shook his head.
"Oh, come on..Just this one. Then, we can go back to all your alien things and adventures."
"Oi! Don't make it sound like you hate it. You know you love it."
"Oh, y-yeah. I do. Like, I adore it. The best thing of my life."
"Why do I feel like you're playing dirty?" he looked her deep into the eyes.
"Please?" she begged.

After seconds and seconds of thoughts, his superior Timelord brain couldn't take it anymore. And by the way she was looking at him, with that big brown eyes; he already knew he lost.

"Oh, okay, I give up." the Doctor sighed "But just this time."
"Yes! Don't worry! We'll have fun. I promise!"
"Well, if you promise, then so be it. Now, we need to find the TARDIS."
"Oh, you go ahead. I still have some important things to buy. It won't take long, just a shampoo and things like that." she apologized. "Meet you there?"
"Alright. Be careful and DON'T wander off! Anything happens, you come straight to me! Understood?"
"Yup." she slightly smiled.

With that, the two of them turned towards different directions. It wasn't that long they landed on Earth. Rose thought it would be a nice idea to have chips; after all the madness that happened before. Yesterday was the day the girl finally learnt that talking cats, Cassandra and zombies aren't the perfect combination. Anything related to that, just had to be wiped off and thrown straight into the bin.

She needed some rest; being pressed inside your own brain by a trampoline with eyes didn't feel really nice, and the Doctor knew it himself, but since he's superior to any human kind, he didn't have that much of a problem. She hated the fact that she remembered everything: her way of talking, her gestures, even the kiss. She hated it so much, because that wasn't her, but Cassandra who did it. And for some time it terrified her, thinking that the Doctor would just send her away. Because she already knew..he wouldn't have feelings for a human like her. She wasn't worth it, neither her soul.

Rose finally approached her favourite market in the center of London and stepped inside. Yeah, all of it seemed the same, only the rayons of food were placed differently. She quickly chose some shampoo and other personal things, then bashed out, hurrying towards the TARDIS.
