Although she fought with the Doctor for awhile over his apparent nonchalance to the fact that Mickey had been killed, she still helped him find the Nestene Consciousness, which controlled all of the living plastic, by spotting the hidden-in-plain-sight broadcaster. She again chafed against the Doctor's methods when she discovered Mickey still alive in the Nestene's chamber, and realized the Doctor simply hadn't thought to mention Mickey might still be alive. Still, when the Doctor's plan to stop the Nestene's invasion failed and the Consciousness started a wholesale invasion on Earth, Rose stepped in, using the gymnastic skills she still possessed, to save the Doctor's life and destroy the Nestene Consciousness.
Despite the close call and her disagreements with the Doctor, however, Rose loved the experience. When the Doctor asked if she wanted to go traveling with him throughout all of space, she almost agreed. Almost. In the end, despite her desire to travel with the Doctor, she chose her responsibility to her mother and Mickey, and let the Doctor vanish in his magical machine with a heavy heart.
When he reappeared a few moments later to make the offer again (It also traveled in time, he thought she ought to know), however, she ran to join him with a smile, and never truly looked back.
On her first trip with the Doctor, he took her to the year five billion, the day the Earth was swallowed by the sun. The Doctor upgraded her phone so that she could speak to her mother in the past--a gift made morbid when she realized her mother was five billion years dead where she stood now--and Rose was nearly killed herself when the observation satellite was sabotaged. Yet, what most moved her in the experience was the fact that, due to the sabotage, no one was looking when Earth died. The loss gave her some small perspective of the Doctor, when he revealed his own planet was lost in war. It was one of the first moments she truly bonded with the Doctor. He took her out for chips then, when she bounced back from the future destruction of Earth and later she and the Doctor would refer to it as their 'first date'.
Rose next found herself in Cardiff, caught in a ghost story with Charles Dickens, and yet again nearly lost her life. In the process, she once again fought with the Doctor's differing morals, and bonded more while trapped in a cellar, attacked by ghost-zombies.
When Rose tried to come home to visit her mother only twelve hours later, she found herself instead twelve months later and a missing person. Her shock lasted only long enough for a timely alien invasion, and an attempt to destroy Earth. They only narrowly averted it, through a gamble that nearly killed her and the Doctor both. When they left Earth again it was with her mother and boyfriend's full knowledge, and a full backpack of supplies.
Together, they traveled to the future and found the last Dalek in existence, of the creatures who warred with and destroyed the Doctor's people. Despite the Doctor's hatred of the creature, Rose found compassion for its pitiable state, and through an accidental impression of DNA, began a change in it for the better. When she stopped the Doctor from trying to kill the Dalek, she learned that he was the one to destroy his own world, though not why. Still, all that mattered to her was that he was almost willing to kill a repentant creature. When they left the museum that housed the Dalek, Rose convinced the Doctor to take along an attractive young scientist there, named Adam, but she soon regretted the decision. When they traveled to the future and saved the human race from oppression by a Jagrafess, Adam tried to take crucial information back to the past for his own gain, and even her inherent compassion had no issue with the Doctor leaving Adam behind at his home.
A short time later, when the Doctor asked Rose when she would like to go, she told the Doctor the story of her father's death, and asked to go back to see her father. When he complied and took her back to see her parents' wedding, she got up the courage to ask to see her father's death, and be there for him when he died--as he'd died alone in the street. When he took her there, however, she was overwhelmed by the sight and couldn't manage to go to him in time.
