Title: Memories of a Broken Past
Summary: Everything reminded them of each other. And each time it tore their hearts out remembering. Post Doomsday.
Rating: PG-13-ish I guess. A swear word or two, implies a few things.
Characters: 10th Doctor, Rose, Mickey, Jackie, Pete, Martha(though she's probably horribly out of character seeing that I don't know anything about her other than her name) and two OCs.
Disclaimer: I own Doctor Who and everything to do with it. Go look it up. And while your at it, look up the word gullible and see if your name is beside it. I do not own Doctor Who, blah blah, woof woof. I do however own Anna Scott and James Bryan. And if anyone owns David Tennant, let me know, I will pay anything. Or find where you have him hiding.
Pairing: 10Rose
Authors Note: This, I believe is one of my better stories. Then again, I say that about all my newest stories. But I think its good. I will post every two days probably, maybe every day. There are exactly four chapters, so it will all be out in 4 to 8 days. I wrote this whole story in about 28 hours, and that includes about 7 hours of sleep so I might have missed a few things when I was editing.
Happy Reading!

"Rose?" a woman called, as she made her way down the street. "Rose Tyler?"
Rose hated it when anyone called her by her first and last name.
Rose Tyler, I was gonna take you to so many places. Barcelona. Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'll love it, fantastic place, they've got dogs with no noses!
Rose turned. It had been almost four months since she had been abandoned in Pete's World(no matter how hard she tired, she couldn't shake the nickname). She hadn't met many new friends, and this woman surely wasn't one of them, from this world or the old one.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I am the dreamer. Anna to most," the woman replied. She had short, ginger hair, green eyes and was quite tall(she was wearing four inch red heels, but even still, she was tall).
"I'm the Doctor by the way. What's your name?"
"Rose."
"Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life."
"How do you know me?" Rose asked.
"You travelled with the Doctor, did you not?"
Rose didn't like the direction this was going.
"How do you know that?"
"Come with us," Anna said as a man stepped up behind her. "We will explain everything."
"I don't think so," Rose said, shaking her head.
"We're not going to hurt you," the man said. "And we won't force to to come. But if you do, we might be able to get your home."
Rose looked from Anna to her companion in disbelief. "Why should I believe you?"
"We have a TARDIS," Anna replied.
"Its a TARDIS," he tried to explain. As if that ment anything to her. "Time and Relative Demension in Space."
"What?!"
"Come with us Rose," the man said.
And Rose obeyed.
The trio walked for about ten minutes in complete silence, which was completly fine by Rose. They soon came upon a red telephone booth. The once clear glass windows were covered by large slabs of cardboard and the words 'OUT OF SERVICE' were printed in large neat block letters.
"'Ere we are," The man(who had been introduced as James) said, opening the door to the phone booth.
The inside was almost identical to her TARDIS. This caused her to stop abrubtly upon entering. It brought back memories. And the memories brought back the pain she had tried so hard to suppress.
"How do you have a Tardis?" Rose asked when Anna and James had joined her in the room.
"We're Time Lords," James said.
"What are you going to do?" she asked him.
"I've got the TARDIS. Same old life, last of the Time Lords."
"But the Doctor said--"
"That he was the last?" Anna finished. "He was wrong. We escaped the universe just as the others were destroyed. Time Lords can sence each other, but it only works within a certain area, about the size of a planet. Two time lords could be standing in the exact same place on two alternate worlds, and never know the other was there. A few months ago, we could feel the presence of a third--"
"How come he couldn't feel you?" Rose asked.
"Who knows," James replied. "Could be that he's forgotten what it feels like."
Anna nodded. "Thats the only thing we could come up with. Now, am I right in assuming you want to get back to your universe?"
Rose nodded. "But how? The Doctor said that the rift was sealed."
"It is," Anna replied. "But the Time Lords are able to travel between universes."
"But I thought that ability died with the rest of the Time Lords."
"Only because it takes alot of power. Usually two TARDIS' and three to four Time Lords. We would have returned to our universe long ago if we had that. Unfourtunatly, we've got two Time Lords and a Tardis. Not quite enough power."
"What's different now?" Rose asked.
"You."
--
"You never smile," Martha commented. She had been watching the Doctor work for almost half an hour. Her face was resting in her hands and her elboes on the TARDIS control center. "You should smile more."
She had told several(bad) jokes in the attempt to make him laugh, or even break a small smile.
"What happened that made you so uptight?"
"Don't," he warned, not wanting to have this conversation. He had warned her many times before, but she was to damn persistant.
This had been why the Doctor hated having companions. He'd start to care about them, the he would be shocked back into the reality of remembering that he would live forever, where as they would die, and he would be left trying to forget them.
And Rose. Oh Rose. She had been wonderful.
"You're never going to see her again," the Doctor said. "Your own mother."
"I made my choice a long time ago. I'm never leaving you. Now what can I do to help?"
Good old Rose.
But the Cybermen and the Daleks were right about one thing. Emotions destroy. Emotions wear down every part of you until there is nothing left but a shell of what used to be.
Facing the Daleks and Cybermen had been easy. Losing Rose had been another story.

"Me?" Rose asked. "What do I have to do with anything. I'm no Time Lord."
"You're not," Anna smiled, then refocused her sights on Rose's stomache.
"How did you know?" Rose asked, suprised. She was almost five months pregnant, but she wasn't showing it at all, and no one had noticed anything.
"Think about it," James said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Come on Doctor," Rose said, tugging on his arm.
"Not so fast," he replied, not because she was walking to fast for him to keep up, but because he was quite drunk and knew that if he moved any faster, it would surely entail regurgitating the large dinner Jacqi had force fed him not two hours before.
"Come on," she urged, ignoring him completly.
"Where are we going?" he asked, trying to keep up without puking.
"Its a suprise."
"Have I ever mention that I hate suprises?" the Doctor asked.
Rose stopped and turned to face him. "You love suprises," she reminded him.
"Worth a try," he muttered as she began dragging him down the street once more.
Dancing. That was the suprise. They went to some club and danced for over an hour. Then returned to the Tardis, more drunk than they had been when they left the loft.
"Doctor," Rose slured, as the two of them stumbled into the TARDIS. The Doctor turned to his companion just in time to recieve a large kiss.
The Doctor pulled away, his drunken smile gone, where as Rose was grinning madly.
"Don't do this," he said.
Rose pulled him into another kiss.
"I know what I want," she said, before kissing him once more.
Let me know what you think. Review are great.
