Bad Wolf Bay

Rose glanced between her Doctor and the man who looked exactly like him, except for the eyes. The second man, the Doctor in the blue suit, had eyes that held mostly fire and fury. A raging storm instead of calm waters that radiated compassion like her Doctor did. The Doctor she traveled the universe with, the Doctor she had given up everything to reach again.

They claimed to be the same, but she wasn't entirely convinced.

"Alright, come here, both of you. I'll ask things only my Doctor will know the answer to, I'll know then if you're telling the truth." She thought quickly, her mind racing as she tried to come up with something no one else would know the answer to. She turned to the Doctor with the kinder eyes. "You. The last time I stood on this beach, on the worst day of my life, what we're your last words to me?"

"I said Rose Tyler." He replied, his eyes open and honest, as well as full of sadness.

"How was that sentence going to end?" She asked, her mind and soul aching to know the answer. This might be her last chance to find out.

The Doctor in the brown suit gave her an expression he hadn't shown since the tower. Since she almost fell through the void. "Does it need saying?"

Rose wanted to smack him, she wanted to kiss him, she wanted to find a way for him to stay. She turned to the Doctor in the blue suit, the Metacrisis creation. "And you? How was that sentence supposed to end?"

The half-human Doctor leaned forward, placing a hand on her arm as he moved, and whispered three words into her ear. "I love you."

Rose 's breath hitched and her heart skipped a beat. Was this real? She'd longed to hear those words for a long time. She pulled him in, locking their lips together and breathing in the familiar smell that he generated. She had only dreamed of kissing the Doctor, but the reality was better than imagination.

The telltale siren of the T. A. R. D. I. S departing cut through the thoughts of how lovely the real thing was and the blonde woman broke her lips away from his.

She ran forward, only to stop and watch the blue box she called home vanish, the man she loved on board. He left her again. He was good at doing that, as he was more amazing and wonderfully things.

The half-human Doctor walked forward until he was beside her, extending his hand as an offer. She linked their hands together, and they watched the spot the T. A. R. D. I. S had sat.

This was strange and new for both of them. The future, an unknown being.

There was a lot of talking to do, also a lot of planning and most likely, mistakes to be made.

Rose Tyler and the Doctor.

This was their second chance, and neither was willing to waste it.
