Lookie here, guys! Another Doctor Who fic! And it's longer than yesterday's, hooray! What can I say? The show's dragged me in! And yes, the sentences are supposed to long and rambling. This is fic is also known as 'Rambling of a Worried Mind'.

Gone. He's gone, gone, oh, God, he's gone, but no, he can't be, because he wouldn't just leave her, he wouldn't do that, because it's better with two, the Doctor in the TARDIS with Rose Tyler, just as it should be—just as it should be. He has to come back; he always comes back, but how? The lift's broken, and his comm isn't working, and Ida says he went down, down, down into the pit, and he's not on the rope anymore, and he fell, the rest of the way down, he fell by choice, and now he's gone and done it, he's just left her up there without him. It's even worse now, because Ida says that he said her name Rose and then he fell, and she didn't get to say goodbye, and neither did he, and she'll never get to hug him again, or hold his hand, or flirt with him, and he'll never know that she loves him, oh, God, she loves him so much, and now he's gone, and she's alone, and it's just not fair.
They want her to leave now, to leave the damned place and get on the rocket and leave, but no, she won't leave him, she won't leave him! They tell her that he's gone, dead, but she doesn't care, she's not leaving, because if he's dead, really and truly dead, then she's as good as dead, too, because she needs him, she needs him so much, and if he's dead and she dies, she'll get to be with him again in some way, and that's all she wants right now, to be with him again. They still want her to leave, because they don't understand, and she still refuses, and that's what he would do, too, because if it was her that had gone into the pit, he wouldn't leave her, she knows that he wouldn't leave her, she knows that now, and he would fight them because he wouldn't leave her, so she fights and screams and refuses, because she's not leaving him and then nothing.
Darkness.
Is she dead? If she's dead, then where is he, she's dead and he's dead so he should be here but she can't find him, and it's still not fair, because she doesn't even get to be happy in death and—wait. There are voices and she listens and she tries to hear his voice, but she can't and she's ready to scream again because she just wants him, and he's not anywhere. She opens her eyes—her eyes were closed?—and there's other people with her and she's strapped to a seat, and he's still not there, and oh, God, she's on the rocket—she's on the rocket! No, no, no, let her off, she needs to get off because he's still there and she's here and they're making her leave him, and she's not leaving him, but they're leaving, and it's not right, because she can't leave him, don't they get it, she loves him, and she's not leaving him, so why are they making her leave him, it's her life, her love, doesn't she get a choice? She picks up a gun, and now she's dangerous, and he has to turn the damn rocket around now, because she'll shoot him if he doesn't, but then he asks her want he would want and then she really wants to shoot him because he had no right to use him against her, no right, because he made her leave him, but he's right, and she puts the gun down, and God, this is it, because he's not turning around and she'll never see him again and she doesn't know what to do because she's not sure if she knows how to live without him anymore, because she loves him that much and she needs him that badly and, what?
They're not going towards Earth anymore and they're going the other direction, back the way they came, and is he really going to do this, is he going to let her stay there and be with—oh. They're falling. They're falling, falling, being sucked towards the black hole, and there's no way out, and they're going to die, really die, and now she can be with him again, but she didn't think she'd die like this and—the Beast. He's right next to her, possessing the poor man, and then poof he's gone, and she's holding a gun and he's dead, floating in space into the black hole, and window's gone, but the shields go up and they're safe, but they're still going to die, and she realizes that she did it, she killed the bloody Beast, but they're still going to die, because she just can't have a happy ending, can she, and—no.
That's his voice. Over the speakers, that's his voice, oh, God, he's alive, he's alive, and so is she, and he's got the TARDIS and maybe, just maybe, they're going to survive this and they'll finally have a happy ending, and yes, yes, she's here, she's right here! A crew member goes to get Ida, because she's alive, too, and then she's there, and she's never been so happy to see the blue box that's bigger on the inside, and she's never been so happy to see him, and then she's running, and she's in his arms, and she never wants to let go, she can tell that he doesn't want to either, and she almost kisses him and almost tells him that she loves him so much, but she doesn't get to and he has to put her down, and he does it slowly, and she doesn't get to kiss him because they still have to save the day and they tow the rocket away from the black hole because they're just that good. They're by the console, standing right next to it, and he's got his arm around her waist, and she's leaning into him, and it feels so good, so right, and she realizes that he hasn't not been touching her since she hugged him, and she's been doing the same, and she loves it, and she can tell that he does, too, and with his arm still around her, he tells the crew that they're the stuff of legends, and he's right, and she gets a warm feeling in her stomach and her heart clenches because they're the stuff of legends, not just him, and she's filled with love and happiness because they're the Doctor in the TARDIS with Rose Tyler, saving the day, just as it should be. And it's the two of them. Together.
What do you guys think? Love it? Hate it? Leave a review, let me know! Sorry about the cheesy ending.
