I do not own Doctor Who or any of its characters

Opening her eyes, Rose noticed two figures standing near by. However she could not recognise either of them. One was a tall, blond woman with a warm smile, the other one however looked more like a wild wolf with her hair looking like a beautiful messy bun.

- Who are you? Where am I?

- You are dreaming Rose. I though you would be able to recognise us both. Use your senses Rose.

Rose looked again, and this time she didn't just look she used all of her senses. Slowly she closed her eyes, and looked through them. She could see the auras of both women. One was radiant and warm while, reminding her of the Tardis. While the other was wild and ever changing, yet very powerful, reminding her of the power she had recently experienced entering her body by the name of Bad Wolf.

Are you the Tardis – she asked the kind blond woman – and are you the Bad Wolf?

Yes Rose, I knew you would recognise us both.

Finally, it took you some time, even after all the changes we made to you. Let me tell you it wasn't easy! However, now you are perfect!!!

Shush, you will scare her, and there yet so much left to explain.

What changes? What do you need to explain to me? Am I dead?

Of course not

You would have been without our help.

However now both you and the Doctor are safe and sound, thanks to all of our efforts.

He won't be happy thought! – The Bad Wolf said sniggering!

Well he doesn't have a choice

There was a strange familiarity on how those two were communicating, it felt like they were almost one person before….before they separated?

Yes you are Rose, we were one person before.

Before?

Yes, you see when you looked inside of me; I in return looked inside of you. You were so desperate to help the Doctor, who you so sincerely and deeply love. Yes I know you are in love with the Doctor, just how I know that he is in love with you. He has been restraining himself for a while now. Time Lords and their rules. Well I'm sure you are well aware of it!!

Anyway…

Anyway, I looked at you and I decided to help you. Bad Wolf was part of me, it is a strong power, part of the vortex, part of me.

So I am now the Bad Wolf.

Yes and no. You see when you absorbed me, you had to be changed. Your DNA had had to be changes. Simply because even thought your spirit is strong and I must say one of the Time Lords that I recognise from long ago…

Yes, you are right. I remember it now, but it cant be! It cant!

Yet, here she is.

What do you mean 'here she is'?

All will be explained in due time. Where was I? Oh yes, I changed your DNA to the one of the Time Lord. You are now a Time Lady Rose Tyler. So you will have to find yourself a name, but I feel that you already have one for yourself, don't you?

Yes.

However, one I have changed you and you destroyed the Daleks, you kissed the Doctor. Oh, I should really say he kissed you. He then absorbed me, at the same time, regenerating himself, returning the count of his regenerations to 13. Same as yours.

I know it's a lot to take in.

Yep, quite a load really. So where does it leave the Bad Wolf.

You are the Bad Wolf. You will be able to control this part of me. Just like the Doctor is know as an Oncoming Storm. You are the Bad Wolf.

Now I am going to bring him in, and explain everything to him as well.

Meanwhile, the Doctor has been trembling over Roses body. Only guessing and fearing the worst.

Come on Rose wake up. All your vitals seem to be perfectly normal, yet your eyes are closed, like you are in a coma! Please Rose, wake up. I cant do it without you, I cant lose you again! Oh, my brave, my sweet, beautiful Rose! Please, I cant lose you, I cant lose someone I…I…I…

Doctor, Doctor – the Tardis mentally called out

Yes, he replied.

Its time for you to sit down and for us to talk. Plus there is someone I want you to meet.

Ok

There he was, standing in the Darkness. Yet he could not see anyone or anything. Is this the end….wait I can feel someone….NO….it cant be…ROSE. With that though he opened his eyes and turn around. There they were, Rose, the Tardis in her 'human' form and The Bad Wolf. Quickly he ran to Rose, pulling her closely to him, never wanting to let her go!

Oh Rose, Rose, Rose! You are alright. She is alright isn't she? Please Rose be alright

She is Doctor, you have nothing to worry about. Yet a lot of things to be explained.

The, he smelled it. She no longer smelled human…she smelled like…like…like

He couldn't quite finish his though

Yes Doctor, she is a Time Lady now. We had to changed her DNA, we had no choice.

Why?

She would have died, even though her spirit is the one of a Time Lady, her body and genes were not.

But…that would have meant that you would have had to give her a part of you. Oh, the Bad Wolf! You are clever!

Thank you. She now has the power equivalent to you and you both have 13 regenerations to look forward.

Really? Wow!

Yes, when you kissed Rose, you both regenerated

Now, we must leave

Yes

Rose – said the Bad Wolf – I am now part of you, which means you can summon me and I will help at any time. From now on, I am you. However, use me only in the extreme conditions. Where there is no other, and to shield and guard your loved one in the extreme situations. We are one.

With that that, everything disappeared again and Rose opened her eyes. She found herself in the Medical Bay with the Doctor at her side.

Hello – said the Doctor

Hello – replied Rose

How are you? – said the Doctor

Rose slowly stirred in her bed and took in the surrounding

I'm ok, you?

Fine now. Rose I can't lose you, I simply I cant. I also wanted to say thank you

You would have done the same thing

The silently looked at each other, as if looking and seeing everything clearly for the first time

Did it really happen?

What? You mean you, me, the Tardis and the Bad Wolf and all in your head?

Yes

Yes

Oh. So does that mean I am really a Time Lady now?

Yes. You have no idea how happy that has made me. Rose, did you mean it?

Did I mean what?

What you said, when you absorbed the vortex? That you love me

Rose blushed remembering at the thought. He was looking so intently at her now.

Because if you did, there is something you should know. I love you too. Deeply with all of my heart

With that, she embraced him with all her might, that was left in her. She could not be happier at the though

I love you too, too much for my own good I think

There was a mischievous smile, lingering on his lips. It was one which was yet unknown to Rose or anyone in this universe. It was one of true happiness and love that he felt and knowing that that someone else returned his feeling wholeheartedly. Finally, he felt complete.
