Chapter 1
“Rose!”
He came running up to her - all frantic hair, joyous eyes and wide, wide grin - and she put her work aside, wondering how long this would take, and whether she would need someone else to take over.
“Go on,” she prompted, and he shoved his New And Improved Timey Wimey Detector in her face, pointing to a row of blinking lights and some indecipherable symbols that were rapidly jumping around on the small screen.
“Look!”
She dutifully looked, and tried her best to appear impressed.
“But what is it?” she finally asked, and he waved the heavy machine around, nearly speechless in his agitation.
“It’s - well it’s impossible, for a start, but it’s not like we haven’t faced the impossible before, is it?”
She noticed with concern that his excitement was tinged with a hefty dose of nervousness, but didn’t get a chance to address this as he grabbed her hand and yanked her away from her work station.
“Come on! To the teleport, stat!”
“Doctor-” she protested as he dragged her down into the bowels of Torchwood Tower where he kept all his projects, including the teleport bay they’d salvaged from a Sontaran ship.
“Just hold this while I program it...” he said, throwing the New And Improved Timey Wimey Detector at her as he carefully started pressing buttons on the side of the teleport.
“Doctor! Didn’t you say that it’d be madness to use it for travel when Dad wanted to try, because it only works, like, one way and you’d have to travel back the long way round and the circuits keep cutting out...”
With a deep sigh she realised that he wasn’t listening at all, but then he jumped in, devil may care grin across his face, and she felt all her complaints melt away.
“Oh Rose. Just wait and see,” he whispered, leaning in to kiss her as the machine released its energy, and she felt sure that even if he’d got everything wrong and they’d be floating around in space as atoms for ever more, it wouldn’t be a bad way to go. At least they’d be together.
They re-materialised in perfect nick, however, and for just a few seconds continued the kiss - until Rose opened her eyes and realised where they were.
“Oh you have got to be kidding me!” she said, pulling away from him and looking around Bad Wolf Bay with sinking heart.
The Doctor merely took the New And Improved Timey Wimey Detector from her arms and grabbed hold of her hand again, as there was a sudden gust of wind and the so-familiar-it-hurt cranking sound of ancient engines.
For a second she just looked at him, her very own Doctor, the spitting image of the alien who’d left her on this beach (twice!) - right down to the brown pinstripe suit and the battered Converse. The two years that had passed since they last stood here held infinite amounts of history - so much joy and anguish, so many hurdles precariously crossed (who am I and what am I and what do I do now and I can die just like that and how am I supposed to stay in one place and live life in the right order and Rose help me and ooooh, can we have a puppy?) - and she wasn’t sure how to feel now. She had forced herself to focus on her Doctor, on the man she had a future with, trying not to worry about the other - the ‘real’ - Doctor, so sad and lonely and leaving her, just when she’d found him again...
Then she turned and saw the well known outline of the TARDIS slowly become solid, as she tried to ignore the almost painful grasp of her Doctor’s hand. (Putting on a brave front for her sake, she knew. Idiot.)
Carefully they walked across the sand, but the misgivings Rose had felt only intensified. The TARDIS looked... wrong. Its sides were a brighter, cleaner blue than she had ever seen them, and it had an odd round symbol on the door. St John’s Ambulance?
"Doctor? What is that circle-y thing?"
"It used to have one of those," he replied softly. "A long time ago. A long, long, long time ago...”
Reaching out, he didn’t quite lay his hand on the side of the ship, frowning in consternation.
“This could be very, very bad - if I accidentally cross my own timeline... I mean this me shouldn’t meet one of the other me’s from the past. Or you! Can’t meet you early, that would jeopardise everything!”
He pulled a face and nearly hit himself over the head as he attempted to pull the hand that still held the New And Improved Timey Wimey Detector through his hair, and Rose felt like banging her head against a wall. One Way Teleports were A Very Bad Idea, but when had he ever listened?
She didn’t get further in her musings as the door opened, revealing an attractive woman in an elegant and expensive-looking figure hugging dress and killer heels, her golden hair tumbling to her shoulders in soft, perfect curls.
Ignoring Rose completely she draped herself in the doorway, then smiled a wide, seductive smile aimed straight at the Doctor, and said, voice a low, alluring purr:
“Hello Sweetie!”

but this rocks. Seriously, this is great! I'll have to come back when I have a minute and say something sensible, but for the moment -- I adore this whole concept!
You should think about posting it to some of the Doctor/ Rose coms BTW. Hee!

Oh dear. I hope things calm down for you.

*beams* I desperately want to see Ten and Eleven interact (plus all the rest of course), but it can't happen in canon, so this seemed the logical solution. Am looking forward to sensible thoughts v. much! :)

I'll... think about it. *hides from the crazy shippers*

I really like the way you write Rose here. I'm a Rose fan ; I think she's much smarter than fandom usually gives her credit for being. Poorly educated =/= stupid. And while she's certainly not without her flaws she's genuinely caring. I get the impression that she grew up to be a very sensible, grounded, and competent woman in your version of Pete's world. Which I buy, both because that fits what I saw in canon and because it works with my personal preference.
Additionally , I think Rose would always have to be the sensible, grounded one that keeps 10.2 from flying off the emotional handle either with all the angst or because he realized that they need that puppy. Somebody needs to pay the water bill, and I can't picture that being the Doctor.
It just occurred to me that I'm seeing parallels between the Doctor & Rose and Buffy & Spike. Or at least in the healthy relationship Buffy and Spike have post chosen/NFA in my head after Buffy finishes her fling with Jack and Spike finishes sulking... My delusions. Let me show you them.
Also, River! Yeah for River!! And hopefully soon to be 11 and Amy!

That was a hint, BTW. Too subtle? :D

Awww, thank you. *hugs* And I hope that last 1/3 manages to cling on!
I really like the way you write Rose here.
One reason I'm writing this from Rose's POV is because I know that some people aren't keen on her, but if we're seeing things through her eyes hopefully everyone will understand her better. (So I'm glad she works for you, because that hopefully means I've got her right. *g*)
I get the impression that she grew up to be a very sensible, grounded, and competent woman in your version of Pete's world. Which I buy, both because that fits what I saw in canon and because it works with my personal preference.
I think she did a MASSIVE amount of growing up in the time she was separated from the Doctor, and I wanted to show that.

Heee! Precisely! The Doctor (especially Ten) needs someone like that.
Or at least in the healthy relationship Buffy and Spike have post chosen/NFA in my head after Buffy finishes her fling with Jack and Spike finishes sulking... My delusions. Let me show you them.
*frowns* Have you been sneaking spoilery peeks at the sequel to My Immortal?
Also, River! Yeah for River!! And hopefully soon to be 11 and Amy!
I HAVE to run now, or I'd sit down and write the next bit immediately! They're all SO MUCH FUN! \o/

who am I and what am I and what do I do now and I can die just like that and how am I supposed to stay in one place and live life in the right order and Rose help me and ooooh, can we have a puppy?
This passage is just PERFECT...it is just so HIM. I LOVE IT.
MORE! MORE! MORE!
no subject
Hee! See why I *had* to write it?
This passage is just PERFECT...it is just so HIM. I LOVE IT.
Ten(Too) in a nut shell: 'Angst, angst, angst, oooh shiny thing!' ;) I was really hoping someone would pull out that quote, because I wanted to somehow show two years worth of growth without rambling on forever, and I was very pleased with what I came up with. *g* So, thank you!
MORE! MORE! MORE!
Well as soon as I have time to write! (So... next week?)

And in a terrible bit of cross-contamination, for a moment when reading that section I flashed to DT's character Alan in Recovery, wandering in the street asking every woman he meets, "Are you my wife?"
But I digress. This is made of terrific! *applauds*

Well it's a very welcome reaction, so thank you! :)

LOL! That could be... amusing with Ten!
But I digress. This is made of terrific! *applauds*
Awww, thank you (again). It was just too much fun not to share...
no subject
Also, Ten's adorable squeeful barely-contained joy-nervousness-etc was freaking adorable and so perfect. Gawd I miss him. ♥
LOVELY START! I can't wait to see morrrrrrrrrre. Oh this is such a tease! xD
no subject
*laughs* Once I'd thought this part up, I knew I had to write it. Because it was just too delicious. (Oh River, how Much do I love thee? Considerably more than Rose, me thinks... *g*)
Also, Ten's adorable squeeful barely-contained joy-nervousness-etc was freaking adorable and so perfect. Gawd I miss him. ♥
Me too! (I've been re-watching Ten vids... *deep sigh*) He's just *such* a bundle of highly strung emotions, with added bounce, and I kinda want to pet him. :)
LOVELY START! I can't wait to see morrrrrrrrrre. Oh this is such a tease! xD
*grins evilly* This story is way too much fun, and I really, really should be doing other things... ::tears self away::

When I first saw it, I was like OHMYGOD SHE WROTE IT!!! And I like clicked the link so fast.
Ahhhhahahahah.... I laughed when 10.5 got nervous when he saw the St. Johns Ambulance symbol, cuz' in his head he thinks the first incarnation's in the TARDIS huh? That's a whole different kind of fic plot.
....And then River SOng pops out and all will probably go to hell. This version of River Song hasn't met Ten yet, but Ten knows HER.
Evil cliffhanger.... I wanna see how Eleven reacts to this. And Amy, and Rory.
WRITE MORE!

Oh no worries! I was just concerned that you hadn't seen it. :)

Heeeeeeee! (That's pretty much how it felt to write...)

Indeed, that would be a VERY different story, but I liked playing on the new (old) look of the TARDIS.
....And then River SOng pops out and all will probably go to hell. This version of River Song hasn't met Ten yet, but Ten knows HER.
It's all kinds of fun! (I have no time to write. I NEED to write. The story is clawing holes in my head trying to get out...)
Evil cliffhanger.... I wanna see how Eleven reacts to this. And Amy, and Rory.
I adore evil cliffhangers! *is evil*
WRITE MORE!
Come look after my children and husband (half of them poorly) and I'll write. Deal? ;)
