Still With Real:
'Does it need saying?' The Doctor asked, obviously unable to finish his sentence. Rose didn't really need him to say it, she just wanted him to. She turned to the other one - the human one 'Can you say it?' She asked.
The human-clone - Rose refused to think of him as the Doctor because he wasn't - loved close to Rose and whispered in her ear. 'I love you'. A huge smile grew on her face as her thought was confirmed. She looked at the clone again, and her smile faded, she pushed him out the way and walked over to the real Doctor. 'I don't care if you can't say it' She said. 'Because I know he only said it because you felt it. I love you too'
'Wow' Donna muttered approvingly. 'He tells her he loves her and she pushes him away'
Rose ignored her, while the Doctor barely even heard her. 'Rose…' He started but he was cut off before he could say anything else, by Rose kisses him.
'Don't leave me' She said almost pleadingly, as she pulled away from him. 'I went too long without you, I cant do that again. Please don't make me'
'You wouldn't be without me' The Doctor replied. 'He is me Rose. He's everything I am, only human'
'I am Rose' The clone insisted. 'I'm just like him'
Rose ignored him, still looking at the Doctor. 'Everything you are isn't human. Everything that makes you you is having all these experiences in time and space'
'But he has those experiences' The Doctor insisted. He hated this, he knew he had to leave Rose here with the human him, but he didn't want his lat memory of her to be an argument. And ultimately he didn't want to leave her at all, he just had to. The Doctor looked to the human-him and said 'Prove it. You know all about the Daleks and…'
'The Cybermen. On the parallel world for the first time, when Mickey decided to stay there I knew the one thing you need…'
'Shut up' Rose said spinning around to face the clone. 'You aren't him. You've just got his memories' She turned back to the Doctor. 'Doctor, when the sontarans cloned Martha, if the clone hadn't been evil would you've ever sent the clone Martha home to Tom, if Martha hadn't been able to?'
Nice one' Donna said approvingly to Rose.
'Of course not' The Doctor replied. 'But that's…'
'Don't give me it's different because it's not' Rose said. 'He's a clone of you, with your memories, but he's not you. He doesn't have all of Time and Space in his mind. He can't see all that is and was, all that ever could be and all that can never be. No human can live with that' She paused. 'I should know'
'Rose please' The Doctor tried to say, but Rose continued.
'He didn't regenerate after taking the time vortex out of my mind. He was created by accident in a battle'
'Ooh, low blow' Donna commented.
'No it's true' Rose insisted. 'If he hadn't been created they'd be no problem'
'Oh I'm on your side' Donna replied. 'I was just commenting'
'Not helping Donna' The Doctor said. He looked Rose in the eyes. 'Rose believe me I'm sorry but I have to' He kissed Rose and walked back into the TARDIS. Donna followed him slowly to give Rose a chance to go after him. When Rose didn't follow, Donna had to ask 'Why aren't you going after him?'
'What's the point?' Rose asked. 'He's just going to leave anyway'
The Doctor didn't look up from the TARDIS console and for a minute Rose thought he wasn't going to answer, but then he said 'Of course I don't'
'Then don't' Donna replied.
The Doctor looked up. 'I don't have a choice'
'Yes you do' Both Donna and Rose spoke this time.
'Mum can watch the other one, make sure he doesn't do anything stupid' Rose continued. 'And he can join Torchwood or U.N.I.T'
The Doctor sighed, 'Rose please stop making this so hard. I don't want to leave you, but he needs you like I did'
'And I need you' Rose said. 'Mum can do just as good a job as I can at looking after him. He'll be fine. You always were when you were alone. Please Doctor, I can't live without you'
'Ok' The Doctor said.
Rose blinked thinking she had heard wrong. 'Sorry?'
'I said ok' The Doctor replied. 'Say goodbye to your Mum first though'
'I'm not falling for that one' Rose said 'And anyway I said goodbye a long time ago. Mum would've known when I stepped into the TARDIS that I didn't plan to step out again'
'You'll never see her again are you sure you don't want to say a final goodbye' The Doctor asked.
Rose shook her head. 'Mum knew I planned to find you and stay with you, and she prepared herself for it. If I say a proper goodbye she might fall apart, I can't do that for her'
But you can leave her forever The Doctor thought bitterly, but didn't say anything.
Donna looked from Rose to the Doctor, and suddenly started talking very fast about where they were going to go next, until she was unable to get her words out.
A/N: If you think I was mean leaving the clone with Jackie, you've underestimated me. I was being nice, throughout the whole of writing it I was trying to resist kissing him off. It's mostly my friend Abbie's fault…she stopped being humane about it a long time ago. Lolz! JK Abbie :P
