I don't own Doctor Who, unfortunately. This story goes along with my other one, A Rather Rainy Day. I suggest you read that story before this :)

Chapter 1

The Doctor was in his pin- striped suit and his favorite converse, with is crazy hair sticking up all over the place.

The Doctor was having quite a bumpy ride. First off, he was regenerating. Stupid radiation. He really didn't want to regenerate, not this time, not again. He had actually built a small contraption to capture the excess energy, and only leave enough so it could heal him but not change his looks. "Dashing aren't I?" he thought as he looked in the mirror. Secondly, he realized that he would have to find a way to release the energy because the box-thingy couldn't hold it for long. It was some of his best work, and he was proud of himself for thinking of making it (who was he kidding; he was always proud of himself). He inserted his hand and felt a slight tingly sensation, it was hard to describe. When he felt the pull of the vacuum, he knew it was working. He began to hum to himself L'amour est un Oisea Rebelle- funny little fact, that was him on the triangles. "Some of my best work!" he said to no one. If he had Donna with him still she would have made some snarky comment. The Doctor then became very sad. He looked down at the "Regeneration Vacuum" dubbed by himself because, well that's what it was.

He had lost so much. Too much for one person. He let his thoughts wander to Rose, his precious, beautiful Rose. He hoped she was happy and that his metacrisis gave her everything she couldn't have with him. He had taken his sort of favor from the universe by saving his friends Martha and her husband Mickey and doing other things he felt the universe owed him. He had done so much in his life wasn't it justified that he could see Rose again?

"AHA!" He yelled aloud. He could use the energy from his "Regeneration Vacuum". The TARDIS seemed to agree with him and gave an encouraging "VWORP". "Thanks love," The Doctor said to his beloved TARDIS, "What would I ever do without you,"

The TARDIS missed Rose just as much as the Doctor did. She saw how Rose changed him for the better. Almost no one even gave the time to think about the poor TARDIS watching them, but never being able to communicate besides a groan here and there. They never really noticed how she watched them, observing her little occupants. Also, she thought to herself, no one appreciated how she never took them to where they wanted to go but to where they needed to. She wasn't just some pile of junk only capable of things a mere car could do. She was the TARDIS and she demanded respect. After seeing the Doctor alone though, she forgave all of the companions for ignoring her, and thanked them for keeping the Doctor company for at least a little bit. She shouldn't complain really, the shock and aw of humans as they enter her for the first time is very ego-boosting. "IT'S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!" they would exclaim.

The TARDIS decided that she could do this one thing for the Doctor. It would be a thank you to him, for loving her and treating her like no one else has. She quickly ran the measurements of the "Regeneration Vacuum" through her head and made a panel that can open up with a compartment built especially for it. She made sure to make a little beep noise to alert the Doctor of said hole. He ran over to inspect the noise and saw the little golden door. He extracted his hands from the "Regeneration Vacuum" when the machine made a little "DING!" telling him the energy was fully absorbed. He curiously opened this new addition to his TARDIS console. "Oh you Sexy thing!" he praised TARDIS patting her on the glass container with the green the upy-downy thing. (the Doctor had a more scientific name but that's what he liked to call it) He even leaned over and gave her a kiss in the same spot. Carefully, he slid the "Regeneration Vacuum" into its place. He had a huge smile on his face, from ear to ear. He was going to see Rose again.
