Call Waiting [SPOILERS for The End of the World and Aliens of London)
Daibhid Ceannaideach
While she waited for the Doctor to come back, Rose had decided to fill her
Mum in on her adventures. She was just describing her arrival on Platform
One.
"...and then the Doctor gimmicked my phone up so I could call you..."
"Hang on a minute," interrupted Jackie, "If you could call me, why didn't
you?"
"I did. It was just I called you... um... yesterday. That is, the Doctor
gimmicked the phone, but he gimmicked it so the call arrived the day
before I left."
"Right," said Jackie uncertainly, "So you phoned me, but I got it before
you'd gone?"
"Yeah."
"And all those calls I made to you?"
"S'pose I haven't got them yet."
"Well, when you do, answer them. And who was that woman who answered your
phone?"
"Eh?"
"I kept calling and getting the busy signal, but the first time I phoned,
it was answered by some old woman talking gibberish. Dead common, she
was."
"I dunno. Like I said, it hasn't happened yet."
"Well, just watch out for her, love. I think she was barmy."
"Okay," Rose straightened, "I'm just going to freshen up, 'kay?"
Shortly after Rose had left the room, her phone rang. Jackie picked it up,
frowned in puzzlement at the display, and pressed "accept".
"Hello?"

Yep. I meant to credit that at the end, but I must've forgotten.
(Coming soon: the thrilling story of the Zagbots insisting they should be
allowed in the 'Round because they were in "Rose", honest...)
