I was regenerating. For the 13th time. Yet it wasn't the end. It was a new beginning. My fellow time lords had just granted me a whole new regeneration cycle. But that time, it felt different. I looked down at my hands.

CRACK! It felt like a bolt of lightning went through me! My hands... they looked so familiar... I looked at Clara. She looked back at me, mouth agape. I dashed to the monitor, and stared at my reflection on the blank screen. Ten. I studied my face. Spiky brown hair, a slim face, and big brown eyes. "No, no, no,no, no!" I said to myself in that familiar voice, "This isn't right!"

"D-doctor, what's wrong...? Did it work...?" Clara said in a shaky voice.

"Well... yes, sort of, not really... you see... this is my 10th incarnation, and I was on my 11th or if you prefer 13th. So basically, I shouldn't be here. And yet I am! This is quite a mystery..." I said, trying to hide the nervousness in my tone.

"Well, Doctor, maybe this is only temporary, or maybe next time you'll turn into someone new." Clara said back.

"Your probably right Clara, it might just be a small mistake, sense I have broken one of the strictest time lord rules." CRACK!..."Oh no! I suddenly crave bananas!"

"D-doctor?"

"This might keep happening until I haven't been born at all!" I said.

"Lets just step outside and get a breath of fresh air, and try to figure this mess out." Clara said nervously. I nodded and pushed open the TARDIS doors. I was expecting the bitter cold air of Christmas, but instead I stood face to face with Rose Tyler. And we were back on Earth, Right in front of Rose's apartment.

"Doctor! Why have you locked me out then?" Rose said, "and who is this?" Rose looked at Clara, Clara looked at me, and I looked at Rose.

"This is not good. Everything else must be going back in time with me!" I said.

"What do you mean Doctor?" Rose said. I could hear the nervousness in her voice. Rose could take a hint, and she knew this was serious. "Rose, how long have you been waiting outside of the TARDIS for me?" I asked.

"About a minute, why?" Rose answered.

"That's about when I regenerated into my 9th form!" I said to Clara.

"Doctor, WHATS going on?" Rose pushed. I told Rose what was going on, but wasted no time. "This is not good." Rose said.

"Indeed." I said. "Any bright ideas?" I felt an odd feeling in my stomach. "Both of you grab my hands!"

CRACK!
