Never Say Never Ever
Chapter 1
"Am I ever gonna see you again?" Rose managed to ask, not even trying to stop the stream of tears that were running steadily down her face.
The Doctor looked into her eyes, and she felt that he was looking directly into her soul as he answered firmly, but gently, "Rose, remember what I said to you? Never say never ever. I'll search the whole of time and space for a way. I will do the impossible and come back to you."
"How?" She cried, she couldn't see how there was any possible way for her to see him again.
The Doctor shook his head, "I don't know yet. But I promised you Rose, that I wouldn't leave you behind. I'm not gonna break that promise."
Rose knew that her chances of the Doctor ever finding a way back to her were next to nothing. Genius though he was, it might be too impossible a task for even him to achieve. So even though he'd promised to come back to her, she was going to treat this like it was her last moment with him.
"I love you," she choked out.
To Rose it looked like the Doctor wasn't sure what to say to this. On any other day, she'd have been congratulating herself; the Doctor usually had an answer to anything. Now however, as his eyes filled with tears and he seemed torn between what to say, she wished that they could just be back on the TARDIS, him poking fun at her. In the end, he gave her a sad smile and said, "Don't give up on me yet Rose Tyler."
Then he was gone. He faded away right in front of her, leaving an empty space where he had been standing.
Rose broke down. The Doctor was gone. Her Doctor was gone. She was never going to see him again. She could see her mum running towards her, so she ran to meet her. As she was crying into her mum's hair, the Doctor's words from earlier reverberated around her head, "Never say never ever. I'll search the whole of time and space for a way. I will do the impossible and come back to you… Don't give up on me yet Rose Tyler"
She took a deep breath and calmed herself a bit. As they were in the jeep on the way back, she berated herself for her lack of faith in the Doctor. She had always trusted him unquestioningly before this, and he had always been right. Why should this be any different? All she had to do was put on a happy face, get on with life and wait for the Doctor to find a way back to her.
In the months that followed, she managed to do just that. She lived an ordinary life. She knew that her mask didn't fool her parents and Mickey by the way they sidestepped around her, treating her as if she was made of glass. But it didn't really matter; she didn't have to make this work for long, just long enough for the Doctor to return.
She did still have moments of hopelessness; she'd have dreams where the Doctor never came back. He just left her, all alone in this strange world. She'd wake up, covered in sweat, terrified. But then his comforting words would echo around her head, resounding through her mind, and she knew she had to trust that he was coming for her.

A/N: Very short first chapter I know, and very cheesy, I know that too! Never fear, the chapters will be longer in future, and hopefully better too! This plot bunny has been annoying me ever since I saw doomsday, and I couldn't live with the Doctor and Rose being in different dimensions for any longer! Please review!
