Chapter 1

"Rose Tyler." The Doctor jumped up, frozen for a minute, and looked around the TARDIS. No Rose. He sighed and slapped himself. The Doctor shook his head and went over to the console. Every time he closed his eyes he saw Rose. Her toothy grin, her hazel eyes, and her beautiful blonde hair. "No," he thought. "Don't think about her. She's gone. Besides, I have more important things to do." The Doctor started to mess around with the console but jumped when he heard, "Hey Doctor." The Doctor spun around and saw Amy. He replied, "Don't startle me like that Pond." Amy watched him curiously as the Doctor asked, "Shouldn't you and the husband be with each other? It is your anniversary." Amy sighed and went over to the Doctor.

Amy looked towards him and saw the look on his face. The same face every time she found him alone. Amy replied, "Rory's asleep. I came over to see what your doing, but looks like nothing important." The Doctor pouted and went back to messing around with the console. Amy walked away from the Doctor, who still had that look, the look of sadness. Amy saw that the Doctor has been acting weird for weeks. Sometimes she found him in the console room or near a room that she and Rory were forbidden to go in. Good thing that didn't stop her.

Amy walked away from the Doctor and said, "Well, I'm going to bed. Don't get into any trouble." The Doctor grinned and replied, "When do I ever get into any trouble?" Amy smiled back at him and waved goodbye. She turned into the hallways and went straight towards the forbidden room. As Amy approached the room, she saw it had a golden plate on it. On the golden plate it said, 'Rose' and besides the name a rose was engraved on it. Amy opened the door and went inside. When she closed the door behind her she looked around at the room. The room's wall were pink with a full bed. The blanket was purple and had a wardrobe beside it and farther away was a bathroom that was attached to the room.

On the wardrobe were picture frames. Amy picked up one of the picture frames that caught her eye. The picture frame was TARDIS blue and the photo inside had a man and a woman. The man had spiky brown hair and wore a tie with a brown pinstriped suit and a tan overcoat. The woman had golden blonde hair and she wore a pink sweater with a deep purple leather jacket over it. They were both smiling in the photo. Amy put down the picture frame and sat on the bed. Amy sighed and said to herself, "Why is Rose so important to you, Doctor?" Amy tried to lie down on the bed, but jumped back up quickly.

Amy yelled, "Ow! What was that?!" Amy rubbed the back of her neck. It hurt a lot, but she would put some ice on the wound later. Amy turned around and saw a rose on the bed. She picked it and looked at it. It hadn't wilted yet so that meant it was put here not long ago. Amy put the rose back on the bed and grabbed another picture frame. This frame was gold and had a picture of the man and the woman again. They were smiling again like the other photo. Amy knew these were genuine smiles and not the kind of smile you make for a photo. Finally, Amy got up and left the room, but only to find herself run back into Rose's room.

Amy ran into the bathroom and closed the door as quietly as she could. Amy whispered, "Seriously Doctor, you had to come now?" Amy opened the door a bit and looked. She saw the Doctor with another rose and he placed it on the bed. The Doctor sat down and grabbed the TARDIS blue picture frame. The Doctor started to say, "Oh Rose. You were always so cheery and brilliant," he looked at the picture feeling a tear go down his cheek. "I shouldn't have taken you back to that universe. I just thought you would be happy and I would be too. I'm not happy. I have Amy and Rory, but they aren't you. I loved your toothy grin and your expression when we saw so many planets, but I could never say those three words to you. I loved you, but I just couldn't say it. I was so stupid to let you go. Stupid, stupid, stupid!" The Doctor put down the picture frame and put his hands on his face.

He started to cry. Tears ran down the Time Lord's cheeks as it did every time he remembered Rose. Amy gently closed the bathroom door. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Amy got up and opened the door. The Doctor jumped up, wiping his tears, and asked, "Why are you here, Pond? I told you this room was forbidden." Amy didn't respond and walked over to him. She hugged him and replied, "I came here because I was curious. Doctor, you can tell me anything and I'll be there so you have a shoulder to cry on. I heard everything and I'm sorry that you lost the person you love." The Doctor hesitated to hug Amy, but he hugged her back.

He looked at Amy and said, "When I saw forbidden, I mean forbidden." The Doctor gave her a serious face, but was interrupted by Rory. Rory yawned and tried to fix his bed head. Rory looked towards the Doctor and said, "Doctor, you have a visitor." He looked at Amy, then Rory, and back to Amy and he said to her, "We are not done talking." The Doctor left the room with Amy and Rory. He made it to the console room and went straight towards the TARDIS' doors and opened them. He was speechless at what he saw. Amy and Rory went over to him and Rory asked, "Who's the girl in purple leather jacket?" Amy hit Rory as the Doctor saw the girl turn around. She had golden blonde hair, hazel eyes, and as she started to make a toothy grin. The Doctor only said one thing, "Rose."
