There were certain days when Mr. Clever didn't do much, never came across anyone important to him. And then there were days where everything went right, when he came across that one person he needed to further his plans. Today was one of the latter. He spotted the young blonde girl from a distance, but instantly recognized her. There were too many memories of her floating around in the Doctors head for him not too. Slowly, he approached her.

"Rose Tyler, fancy seeing you here."

Rose was exhausted. She'd spent a long day working at Torchwood and needed to go home. Rose had thought of the Doctor now more than ever. Every day while she was at work, she'd always stare at a blank white wall, and tears would fall down her cheek. Memories would come inside her head remembering Canary Wharf and the day she and the Doctor were separated. Hearing the man behind her, she turned and gave a small tired smile.

"Sorry…have we met? I don't remember seeing you before" Rose asked the strange looking gentleman

"Oh, we've met miss Tyler," he began. "We've met indeed. At least, you've met the actual person of this body. Not who you're speaking to."

Inside, the Doctor desperately wanted to talk to Rose, to hug her or touch her just one more time, but he was weak and unable to.

"Let me explain. A bit in the future, the Doctor regenerates, turning into me," he motioned to his body. "Eventually, he goes to a planet with some broken down Cybermen, but there was a Cyber-Planner, me, who was able to take control of him and use him to rebuild the army. Hello," he grinned, giving her a little wave. "I'm sure your thrilled to be talking to me."

"Alright, Mr. Cyber-Planner. Let me make one thing perfectly clear." Rose said in a harsh tone. She'd only raised her tone like this to the Doctor only once that she could remember. After the incident of her father's death, back when the Doctor wore that leather jacket.

"There are no more Cybermen. The Doctor and I made sure of that. I lost him trying to destroy all the Cybermen in the Universe. I destroyed most of the Daleks on Satellite Five. I absorbed the heart of the TARDIS, risking my own life to save the Doctor. I will not let you take him from me!" Rose shouted. She had grown angry. This cyber-planner would not take the Doctor away from her. Not when she just found him.

"Hm, right, yes," he nodded his head, listening to Rose. "'Cept in the future they're back. So you're wrong. Hate to break that to ya, but I wouldn't be here then, would I?"

He chuckled at her determination. "Rose, my darling. You have no idea what your Doctor has been through, what I've warned him with about him having control of his body. He's too weak," he stated. "And even if he had to power to overcome me, he wouldn't risk the consequences. You can try your best, he's not going to come back."

"He will come back!" Rose shouted. Still furious at Mr. Clever. There was no way the Doctor would give up. Especially if he knew Rose was there. Clearly talking about old memories wasn't going to get through to the Doctor. If there was anything the Doctor wasn't….it was that he wasn't weak. The Doctor only cared. In her rage, Rose walked up to Mr. Clever and gave him a famous Jackie Tyler smack right on his cheek.

"If that don't work, I've still got somethin' else in mind…" Rose muttered under her breath and slowly reached into her pocket. Inside, she felt the cool silver chain and the weight of the key attached. She wrapped the key around her hand and walked up right to Mr. Clever and took his left hand and placed the TARDIS key inside it and held his hand with both of hers. Here she was, Rose Tyler. Trying to save the Doctor's life again. She felt tears forming in her eyes as she looked right at Mr. Clever, but she wasn't addressing him. She was talking to her Doctor.

"Doctor…Listen…If-If you can hear me….." Rose began as her voice trembled and began to crack.. "I'll never know why you saved me in Henricks that day…but there's one thing I know for certain." Rose said taking a deep breath before continuing. "I never know why…I only know who. I know who I love. I love you."

Mr. Clever let out a surprised groan at Rose's powerful slap and rubbed his cheek with his hand. "Ouch! Someone has a bit of anger management issues. I'd get that checked out if I were you."

The Doctors breath caught at he sight of the TARDIS key. She still had if after all these years? As her hands wrapped around his he felt his heart pick up speed, just like old times. Seeing her again caused a whirlwind of emotions in him, and he wasn't sure what to make out of them. All he knew was that it felt like someone had thrown a big mixture of chemicals inside him and they were all swirling around and reacting together, telling him different things at once. He utilized these feelings to give him strength, to allow himself to take over Mr. Clever. It was the only thing strong enough. And with those last three words he was able to.

"Rose," he spoke, his voice quiet as he couldn't believe what was in front of him. He took his other hand and enclosed it around hers, giving them a squeeze. "Hello."

Rose gave a smirk at Mr. Clever. "Learned that from my mum. She smacked the Doctor once. After he got the Date wrong."

Then, Rose felt a sigh of relief come over her when she noticed the man's face change slightly. When the man breathed her name, she noticed the tone was different. Had she actually done it? Had Rose brought the Doctor back to her? Rose felt tears forming in her eyes. She had to fight them back. She didn't want to go crying in front of the Doctor now. She looked down at their hands. She never noticed this when their hands were connected. A perfect fit. Just as they always were.

"Doctor?" Rose asked the man quietly. "Is that really you?"

For reasons Rose didn't understand, this felt like the last time the Doctor regenerated. When she was still getting over the ideal shock that the Doctor changed his face right in front of her.
