Hello all! This is basically a before story of The Funeral of John Smith. This just seemed like a good idea at the time, so here goes! :D

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the totally epic characters from Doctor Who, sadly.

BTW, this takes place months after John Arrives


She walked home in deep thought. Was she really going to marry this man who imposed as the greatest man she'd ever met? She supposed it would be the same, but she couldn't help but call him Doctor. She would never get used to the man named John Smith, no matter how often he used it before.

Of course, she did love John, but It would never be the same. The Doctor would always have a special place in her heart. She remembered his lips, his smile, his laugh, his brush of the cheek, and most of all his love, though he never said it.

John had said he loved her, and she had kissed him instead of the man she truly loved. She regretted it, because she caused him to walk away sadly. She had no way of knowing if he would ever be alright.

She eventually snapped from her thoughts and opened up her diary. Reading her words from the first time that the Doctor had lost her

Planet Earth. This is where I was born. And this is where I died. For the first nineteen years of my life nothing happened. Nothing at all. Not ever. And then I met a man called The Doctor. A man who could change his face. And he took me away from home in his magical machine. He showed me the whole of time and space. I thought it would never end. That's what I thought. But then came the Army of Ghosts, then came Torchwood and the war. And that's when it all ended. This is the story of how I died.

If the doctor would have seen that, she figured now he would call them 'The famous words of the brilliant legend, Rose Tyler'.

She didn't think she was that brilliant, though. If she had been brilliant, she would have never tried to pull and lock the switch on the worst day of her life. She was going to be with him forever, til death would they part. But that changed. She was soon to vow that off to a man in only some similarities to her true love.

She kept walking on. She would have taken the bus if it hadn't missed. Her mum was going to gripe once she got in the door.


A ring came from the front door of the large house in which the Tylers now lived. Jackie Tyler rushed to it in her soft pink robe while simultaneously brushing out her hair. She had let it go ratty through the day, so it was a struggle.

Rose walked in and gave her mum a hug. She chuckled "Mum, what did you do to your hair?"

"I've been in bed all day! I was ran out of work yesterday, remember! I reckon that bloody Gina Ross took my place, always sucking up to the boss!"

"The you should be out looking for work."

"And you should be looking for a dress. We've got plenty of money, use some of it! Just because John wants to pay doesn't mean you shouldn't help out!"

"Did you pay for your own wedding dress, mum?"

"Why yes, thank you very much I-" Jackie was interrupted by her husband, Pete Tyler "Didn't!"

"Oh you shut it! I want Rose to be different, independent!"

Rose said "I promise you, mum, I'm independent. I've done so well on my own for the past two years. John is not my owner and he wouldn't want to be. But if you wish, I'll go look at dresses. I'll also look for your bridesmaid dress."

Jackie seemed excited for that part. She let rose leave and went to talk with Pete


Jackie argued with Pete "But it would make her so happy! I mean, all of her friends there! It would be brilliant!"

Pete said "But it's impossible! You might as well bring the Cybermen and Daleks back as well and kill us all!"

"Don't talk like that! Have some hope! Just try to send the invitation! He might get it! And the others if you can fax it to Mr. Smith!"

"I agreed not to create an alliance with Sarah Jane, it isn't safe for our dimensions, given the security of UNIT!"

"I don't care! Please try, for Rose. It would be the perfect wedding gift."

"Fine" Pete sighed before going off to his office


Rose walked to a shop, in search for a dress. She saw the perfect one, though it wasn't white. It was the most brilliant blue that she had ever seen- TARDIS blue. She grinned and actually bought it before buying her mum and the other bridesmaids shorter dresses in the same color. She knew now the color theme of her wedding.

(Links soon to be put on profile)

She smiled at her choice and called her mum to pick her up, not wanting to ruin the beautiful dresses. She knew they would fit. She'd had her friends and mum measured.

She knew that the Doctor would like the dresses. She fantasized about his reaction. That only made her smile more.


Once she got home, Rose laid the dresses out on the long sofa. She would give them to her friends tomorrow and they would be wearing them the day after. She was a bit late on planning.

She wondered when John would get home. She would always share an entry from her old diaries with him. No matter how stupid they were, she promised.

She was quite knackered and was fighting to stay awake when she heard a tap on the door frame. She looked up with a smile as she saw her handsome fiance.

She got up and walked to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips "How is Doctor Smith doing on this fine evening?"

John grinned "Very well, how is Mrs. Rose Smith coming along?"

"Quite nicely, I suppose, mostly because she is Mrs. Rose Smith." She smiled "Now Doctor Smith needs to get ready for bed because his lovely fiance cannot wait much longer."

He grinned and went to change.

Rose flipped through her diary to the entry from the Christmas where the Doctor had changed. Though he had technically lived through it, hand and all, he had never seen it from her point of view. Most of the entries he hadn't.

When John returned, he had known that an entry was coming, so he laid down and listened.

He's changed. Completely. His looks- his face, hair(apparently still not ginger. Why go ginger though?), size, clothing style- all changed. I have only known him the way he is now for two days, but it seems as if I have seen him before. I recall a man on new years day, 2005. He shared the same voice and I could only faintly see the bloke, but I swear he looked the same as now and was wearing an outfit quite similar to the one he's wearing now. It's probably nothing, but I really feel that it was him. But why and when did he go back into my timeline and say that? I don't think he'd have a reason. I'll be with him forever. I promise.

Besides that, he lost his hand in a sword fight, and it somehow grew back, like a worm or starfish. Anyway, I should be getting some rest. We've got an awful lot of running to do.

- Rose

John raised an eyebrow. He'd never gone back in her timeline. Not yet, anyway. He probably would soon. He smiled at rose before going to sleep.

Rose decided she ought to as well. She snuggled up to him and dozed off


So how was it? R&R plz!
