AN: Hello! This is my first Doctor Who fan fiction! Yay! This chapter is what I thought would be cool to lead up to the episode ROSE. I'm gonna do the Rose and the doctor and their adventures. I know I put 10th doctor for the thing, but I'm gonna start out with 9. So, it's gonna have both Rose X 9 and Rose X 10.
I thought it would be cool to have Rose be Time Lady and I know a lot of people have done it but I always thought not enough people explained it well enough. So here is my version.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Located far away, in the Binary Star System, within the constellation of Kasterborous, and 250 million light-years away from earth, is a marvelous and brilliant planet.
From space this planet is seen as yellow and orange, but is more beautiful closer up; with fields of deep red grass, capped with snow, silver-leafed trees, and at night a burnt orange sky. Casting an amber tint on anything outside the city, it is a truly glorious sight.
The locals would tell people of this place when they travel. Saying how the second sun would rise in the south and the mountains would shine, with the silver-leafed trees looking like a forest on fire, truly living up to the name of the Shining World of the Seventh System.
Within the world is the shining capital Panopitcon, which resides in the Continent of Wild Endeavour in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude, where Lord President Rassilon resides.
The people of this wonderful race are known as Time Lords, an ancient extraterrestrial race and civilization of humanoids. These Time Lords receive their names for their non-linear perception of time, which allows them to see everything that was, is, or could be at the same time.
They developed a culture of custodianship and time-related technologies based on this perception which includes strictly controlled time travel machines, known as TARDISes, and monitoring devices to travel through time and to prevent time from being subverted or abused, although actual action is rare in practice due to their traditional policy of strict non-interference and neutrality.
As you may have guessed by now this marvelous yellow and orange planet is the planet of Gallifrey.
"Theta! Koschei! Aditi! The evening meal is ready!" yelled the woman caretaker of the small house at the base of the mountain. Running through the crimson grass were those three best friends.
The oldest and tallest of the three was the ginger Theta, then there was the boy with straight midnight hair Koschei, and finally the youngest was the small girl Aditi, with blonde curls traveling down her back.
They all wore the academy uniform which simply involves a navy blue sweater and for the boys light blue shorts and the girls, light blue skirts. Everyone wears the uniform until they graduate. The badges on the sweaters were placed over their second heart and they changed depended on their year.
Currently on these children's sweaters' was the picture of a Rovie. If you don't know what that is, a Rovie is a type of mouse. The reason it's on the children's sweaters is to show that they are in their youngest grade. A Rovie is usually a pet for a Time Tot, so the elders decided that would show the youngest level in the academy.
Reaching the door, the young three rushed inside and sat in their places, faces red from running and giggles erupting from their previous activities.
"Not fair Koschei! You tripped me! You cheated!" Yelled Aditi from across the circle table.
"Did not! You're just slow! Right Theta?" yelled back Koschei. Eyes turned to Theta he just shrugged not wanting to get involved.
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did n-"
"Shut it or you won't get to eat! Now go wash up and hurry back." Snapped the Caretaker.
The three did as they were told and got back to the table with food already on their plates.
"Thank you for the meal." They all said before they ate, and on went the normal day.
Caretaker was a kind Time Lady that the three loved like their own mother. With long brunette hair, kind green eyes, and her usual apron on, that's the figure that the children looked up to. All they have ever known her as though was Caretaker. She took that title after she left the academy.
After Time tots were born they were raised into the age of 2 in the facility then 3 of the same age were given to a guardian until the age of 8. That explains why Theta, Koschei, and Aditi live with The Caretaker. Once they go to the academy for full time, The Caretaker with get another set of kids. Then the cycle continues.
At the age of 8 children are taken away to look into the Untempered Schism, a gap in the fabric of reality that looks into the time vortex. Of those who stare into it, some are inspired, some run away and others go mad.
Let's skip forward to the age of 8 for the three. Since Theta being the oldest, he went first.
The three children stood outside the room in a line, waited to be escorted one by one. Theta was scared. What if he went mad? Surely if he went mad he'd never see his friends again. What would he do without Aditi and Koschei? What if one of his friends went mad?
Taking a glimpse back he saw Koschei with a furrowed brow, probably going through the same questions in his head and Theta was, and Aditi. A tear was trailing down her cheek, and a sudden wave of sadness washed through him.
"Aditi." He whispered. She looked up at him and sniffled.
"Yah?" voice soft and scared, two more tears fell.
"It's going to be okay. I just know it. Don't worry." He said those words not only to Aditi but he moved his gaze to Koschei to let him know too.
She only nodded and wiped at her face. She found his gaze and smiled bravely. He smiled back; glad she was trying for him.
Looking back at his other best friend, he saw that Koschei was looking at him with a brave expression and nodded.
Nodding back he turned back to look ahead again and saw one of the Time Lords walking towards them.
"Good luck." whispered Aditi.
The Time Lord in front of him was dressed in a shining gold robe that shimmered in the light through the nearby windows.
"Come." His deep voice demanded. With a large hand on his shoulder, he led him forward into the next room.
The door before them was as tall as the 14 foot wall and dark as night. It resembled the void in a way. Dragging your gaze towards it and never wanting it to go.
The door opened and he was met with a sight of space. It looked as if the walls disappeared and the stars replaced them. The ground had changed to sand and in the middle of the room, stood the Untempered Schism. On either side of it were torches and before it lay a plaque bearing the Seal of Rassilon.
It was swirling. Darkness swirling. Theta was led forward and stood before it.
It hurt. His mind felt like it was burning. He wanted to run away and never look back. It was scary, and he didn't want to be hurt anymore. Yet, he stayed. He mind jumped back and forth, not knowing which to choose.
"His mind is unstable. It seems like the boy is confused." explained one Time Lord.
"Maybe he is going mad?" asked a Time Lady.
"No. He mind is too stable for that. Maybe he is both inspired and wants to run." explained another Time Lord.
The last Time Lord that has not spoken decided now was wise to speak. "Theta Sigma, do you wish to run?"
Theta nodded. He wanted to run so far. Get as far away as possible.
The Time Lords and Lady stared at each other in silent agreement. The boy would run.
Koschei was staring at dark swirling void. In his mind a tap echoed. Then two. Then Three. Then Four. A series of four quick taps echoing through his mind in an endless rhythm.
"No." Koschei whispered to himself.
"The boy has gone mad, can't you hear it."
"It will haunt the boy till he dies. I'm afraid it will be long."
"The beats, what do you think it means."
"We do not know. All we do know is that the boy's mind will eventually go insane."
The Time Lords and Lady all hummed in agreement.
Little 8 year old Koschei stood there, shaking. Silent tears going down his face and the rhythm echoing through his head,
One two three four. One two three four. One two three four. One two three four.
Now stood little Aditi. Her skirt swished against her short legs as she walked up to Untempered Schism.
She stared into the darkness and saw the most beautiful thing. She saw light. A smile turned on her lips and she almost giggled.
Golden wisps trickled out of the vortex and licked their way towards the small blonde.
"What's happening?" asked the Time Lady.
"We watch and see." answered the wisest Time Lord.
It almost reached Aditi and by now she was giggling. She reached out her arm and touched the golden strand. As her finger touched it, it traveled up her arm and spread throughout her body.
The giggling stopped and her mouth stayed open in a silent scream as the gold reached in her body though her mouth and she was glowing.
From the inside and out, all was gold.
"Is she the ancient prophecy?"
"It seems that the Time Vortex has welcomed her as a host."
"Yes, so it seems. We will need to bring this one to Lord President."
"What will happen of the girl?"
The fourth one spoke up, "We will not bring her to Lord President. The prophecy states that the Time Goddess will live a human life on the planet Earth. She cannot be a part of the Gallifreyan time stream for now."
The Time Lord that had spoken took out of his pocket, and a locket made out of gold sculpted to look like the sun. On the inside of the locket Gallifreyan writing was wrote on one side, Time Goddess, and the other side wrote Bad Wolf. The writing was just a series of swirls and circles and no one would it was a language.
"At the right time she will be subjected to the chameleon arch. This one is shaped to locket and will stay with the girl."
"Whom shall she go to earth as, and when?"
He thought for a moment. Glancing at the girl that was frozen in a golden state, he walked over and placed the locket around her neck. "She will go to earth as an infant. I will make false memories of pregnancy for the mother and father and get her to a home that will be good for her. I'll make sure she looks like the mother for sure and let's hope someday the Time Goddess will remember of us one day again."
A blonde haired infant was crying in the hands of tall Time Lord. The man stood in front of the flat and knocked twice.
"I don't want what your selling!" Snapped the blonde women before she even opened the door. Sticking his hand out and touching her forehead she fell silent and her eyes rolled back in her head.
The Time Lord gave false memories to this earth woman and soon she slumped to the ground unconscious.
"Oi! What did you do to my wife?!" Yelled a tall man that stormed angrily toward the Time Lord. His hand reached out again and gave the Father the same memories as the wife. The man soon slumped to the ground beside the blonde and the Time Lord stepped inside. He found the living room and placed the Gallifreyan cradle on the floor.
"Goodbye Goddess of Time. May your true self return soon."
And there started the human life of Rose Tyler.
