The Ocean's Call
A/N: Ok, so this is my first Doctor Who fic, it is a reunion story, but the first few chapters are songfics. I'm not sure how long this will turn out to be.
Disclaimer: For the whole story: I do not own Doctor Who (Billie Piper would not have left, Martha wouldn't be there), I own nothing you recognise, I do not own the songs. All rights go to BBC, Doctor Who & Murray Gold & Neil Hannon & other song artists.
Summary: Radio's can be weird, you can be listening to the same radio as the person next to you, but you can hear something completely different. Where will it draw both Rose and the Doctor? 10Rose PostDoomsday Reunionfic
Rose Tyler, 24 years old, head of Alien Artefacts at Torchwood Institute, lived with her Mum, Dad, little sister Adelaide and sometimes her ex-boyfriend Mickey stayed there. Today was the four year anniversary of Bad Wolf Bay and Pete had given her the day off, the reason unknown to Torchwood.
Rose lay on her bed thinking, thinking about the Doctor, the Tardis, the alien universes, thinking of everything that was, that is, and that could've been. Turning slightly to turn the radio on, Rose lay listening to the song.
Well I woke up today
And the world was a restless place
It could have been that way for me
That was true, this world, 'Pete's World' as she still called it, was far more busy than her world. People were always rushing about. Even though Rose loved the adrenaline when things were restless, it wasn't the same.
And I wandered around
And I thought of your face
That Christmas looking back at me
Those three lines, struck Rose hard, suddenly she was thinking of Christmas 2006, nearly five years ago, still when she was growing used to the Doctor after the threat of the Sycorax, when she pulled him into Christmas dinner, still hating him for taking her old Doctor away.
I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed
That reminded her of the Sycorax as well, that was one of the best days of her life, Christmas with her family and the Doctor, the new Doctor doing 'domestic' and it snowed, well ok, it was ash but it was beautiful, and the Doctor still wanted her to come with her in the Tardis!
And I started to walk
Pretty soon I will run
And I'll come running back to you
Something she wished everyday would happen, that they could run into each other's arms as they did after they had escaped the Black Hole hug, and love each other. She wanted to run forget about the Daleks and Cybermen and just be in his arms.
'Cause I followed my star
And that's what you are
I've had a merry time with you
It was like the Doctor was talking to her through song. Telling Rose that he loved her and had a great time with her, just like they'd said on New Earth, when Rose had told him she loved travelling with him.
I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed
So have a good life
Do it for me
Make me so proud
Like you want me to be
Wherever you are
I'm thinking of you
Oceans apart
I want you to know
That sounds like the old Doctor, "Have a fantastic life", but Rose and the Doctor they were more than oceans apart, but both of them she loved to think were thinking of each other wherever they were.
Well I woke up today
And you're on the other side
Our time will never come again
Yeah, on the other side of the universe, and Rose wished that the third line was false, that their time would come again soon.
But if you can still dream
Close your eyes and you will see
That you can see me now and then
Rose closed her eyes at the next verse, picturing him as he was in his 10th and 9th form, and wondering what he looked like now, whether he had regenerated. Whether he still looked the same.
I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed
I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed
The time Rose spent with the Doctor they were better than she ever dreamed, she had the best years of her life.
Drying her eyes, Rose went downstairs to talk to her Mum, who was listening to the same radio station she had just been listening to.
"Mum, did you hear that song that was just on?"
"What do you mean Rose? It's been the news for the last 15 minutes." Jackie replied.
"But Mum, a song was just on I was listening to that radio station upstairs!"
"You sure darling, you sure you weren't dreaming, if you were definitely listening to the same station you would've heard the news. You ok Rose?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Rose replied distantly, and suddenly the world seemed a brighter place.
Ok, I hoped you like that, next chapter should be up soon. Hoped you liked it.
Happy New Year!
