I'd Never Leave You

{Christmas Invasion}

Rose Tyler stood in the doorway of her bedroom watching the man that he called himself, "The Doctor," but the man that laid in her bed wasn't her Doctor. This man had brown hair, sideburns, deep brown eyes, and thin body. Her Doctor had extremely short hair, blue eyes, big ears, thin mouth and had a board frame. He had a bad boy like image, while this man had a pretty boy image. She wanted her Doctor. Not the one that laid in the bed. But then she realized that he had changed because he had saved her life. He told her that his body was dying because he had taken the Time Vortex from her. She knew it was her fault that he had changed his image. It wasn't his fault but hers.

The Doctor turned his side to side and sweat slowly fell down his brow. He groaned slightly in his self induced coma. Rose's brow frond at the sight of him. He seemed he was becoming sick. She slowly walked into the room and sat down in the chair next to the bed. She pressed the back of her hand against his forehead. She turned to the bedside table a picked up the rag that was in bowl of water. She rang it out and gently ran it across his forehead.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault." whispered Rose. She ran the rag around his neck. "If I haven't looked into the heart of the TARDIS, but I couldn't leave you on your own."

The Doctor's mouth opened slightly and a gold mist left his body. Rose let her eyes follow the mist that escaped out the window. She pulled the covers over his slightly shaking body.

"Please don't die. I need you." whispered Rose his ear, and she took his hand into her own.

She laid her head down on the mattress and her heavy eyes slowly closed from exhaustion from the gaming station and the Time Vortex.

Jackie stood in the doorway of her daughter's bedroom and sighed heavily. She didn't like the idea of her traveling all space and time, but she knew Rose's life had changed when the Doctor entered it. She could tell that Rose's life had changed after she had returned from being "missing," for a year. She turned and left the room when the phone rang.

"How's he doing?" Jackie asked her daughter as she handed her cup of tea.

"He's worse only one heart is beating." whispered Rose. "Mum this is all my fault." She sob.

Jackie pulled Rose into her arms. "No sweetheart it's not your fault. For once in life I'm grateful for that man. He saved your life." She gently rubbed her daughter's back.

Rose pulled back and saw the Christmas tree. "Mum is that a new tree?"

"Yea. I thought that you and Mickey had gotten it." said Jackie.

"Mum I haven't left house." said Rose. Then all of sudden the tree moved and began to spin. "Oh, you've got to be kidding. Mum come on!" She pulled Jackie and Mickey into the bedroom.

The Doctor laid in the bed unable to move. He could hear everything what was going on in the apartment. It was that his body wouldn't move, his eyes wouldn't open. He needed the TARDIS around him. He needed the strength vortex near him. He knew Rose meant well by bringing him to the apartment and to take care of him. He was so grateful for her love and care.

He willed himself to try and move. He could hear the danger coming. He could sense it if only his body would move. He needed to protect Rose.

Rose looked around the room trying to think of something. She didn't want to be killed by crazed Christmas tree. She quickly dug through the Doctor's leather jacket and pulled out the sonic screwdriver. She ran over to the bed and put it into his right hand.

'That's my smart girl.' He thought when he felt his screwdriver being placed in his hand.

Rose leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Help me."

The Doctor shot up from the mattress and pointed the sonic screwdriver at the tree and it stopped moving. "Remote control, but who's controlling it?" He threw back the covers and left the bedroom and out the back door tying the blue robe around his waist.

He stood on the porch and pointed the screwdriver at the Santa robots, and vanished with stream of blue lights. "Pilot fish. They were nothing but pilot fish." He sat down and reached into the pocket and pulled out a green apple. "Why is there an apple in my dressing gown?"

"Oh that's Howard's. Sorry." said Jackie.

"He keeps apples in his dressing gown." said the Doctor.

"He gets hungry." she told him.

"What, he gets hungry in his sleep?"

"Sometimes." she told him.

He sank down to the ground and gasped in pain. "You woke me up to soon. I'm still regenerating. I bursting with energy," and he opened his mouth and a gold mist left his mouth. "Listen, some-something's coming," and he passed out.

"Mickey help me get him back into the bed." Rose told him.

He grabbed the man under his arms and they carried him back into Rose's bedroom. Rose and Mickey carefully laid the Doctor back down in the bed. She carefully covered him up. She brushed his brown hair from his face. She didn't won't to leave him, but she also needed to keep an eye out about his warning.

"He's not going to take you with him." said Mickey. "He's not, "Your Doctor," Rose. He's not going to wake up."

Rose narrowed her eyes. "He's given up on you. He's fallen back into that," he motioned to his sleeping form.

"Shut up Mickey and leave us alone." hissed Rose and he walked out the door.

Rose and Mickey ran outside when all the windows shattered from the building. She looked up and saw a large spaceship that was in shape of a large rock. She turned to him and knew that they had to get the Doctor to the one place that was safe. The TARDIS.

The couple ran back up to the apartment. Rose and Mickey grabbed the Doctor, while Jackie got some food together and they left for the TARDIS. Rose and Mickey laid the Time Lord down on the ground he asked if she could still fly the TARDIS. She shook her head and told him that it had been wiped from her head like it was forbidden.

"See he's still not your Doctor. He doesn't care about you anymore." said Mickey.

"I told you to shut up Mickey."

Jackie entered after the couple and sat the bags down on the floor. She ran from the space ship to get the rest of the food. She turned around to see the blue box being transported up to the ship that hovered above her head.

Rose opened the door after she felt it shake knowing something had ported them somewhere. She was shocked to find herself standing in front of the aliens that had appeared on the television, and she knew that they had to be controlling the people that were standing on the roof. Mickey heard Rose scream, he dropped the tea and ran out of the phone box.

"Mickey close the door!" yelled Rose.

Mickey closed the door quickly behind him, and was scarred at what stood before him. A large race of aliens. He saw the Prime Minster pull Rose into a hug remembering that they had stopped World War Three with her help.

"Rose, oh my sweet girl. Is the Doctor with you?" asked Harriet Jones, Prime Minster.

"No we're on our own." said Rose hoping he'd wake up soon.

She stood nearby Harriet listening to the man read off the translation. She tried to remember what the Doctor had said about the Shadow Proclamation in hope to bide the Doctor sometime to appear.

"I hear English. He's being translated, which means it working." said Rose, she turned her head and saw the TARDIS's doors open.

"Did you miss me?" asked the Doctor, and the Sycorax leader attacked with a whip. "You can poke someone's eye out with that," and stopped it when it hit his arm. "You just can't get a staff," and broke it across his knee. "Now, you just wait. I'm busy." He turned to the others. "Mickey hello! And Harriet Jones MP for Flydale North. Blimey! It's like "This Is Your Life," Tea! That's all I needed was a good cup of tea. A superheated infusion of free radicals and tannin. Just the thing for heating synapses." He turned to Rose and asked, "Be honest. How do I look?"

"Um, different." She told him.

"Good different, or bad different?" he asked.

"Good different. Defiantly good different." She told him with a smile. "Very sexy different." she thought to herself.

"Am I ginger?" He asked.

"No, you're just kind of brown." She told him motioning slightly to her own blonde hair.

"I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger." He whined. Rose tried her hardest not to laugh. He stepped closer to his companion. He cupped her cheek gently. "I would never leave you." He turned to Mickey, "You Mickey Smith gave up on me. Fat chance you were giving up on me! Oh that's rude. Is that type of man I am? Am I rude? And not ginger."

Rose let a giggle escape her full pink lips. The Doctor turned to her and winked. She didn't know why but she blushed at the small action.

Harriet finally broke her silence after watching the man in front of her. She asked who he was. He told her that he was the Doctor. She didn't believe him until he told her about Downing Street. The aliens didn't scare her it was thought of mother being on her own. He asked her about the election and she informed him that she had won. He smiled at the woman.

"If I might interrupt!" said the Sycorax leader.

The Doctor turned his attention back to the matter at hand. "Oh yes! Hello! Sorry, big fella."

"Who are exactly are you?" he asked.

"Well, you see that is the question." said the Doctor as he scratched behind his ear.

"I demanded to know who you are!"

"I don't know!" he yelled at the same mocking the alien. "See that's the thing. I'm the Doctor. But beyond that I just don't know. I literally don't know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Am I sexy?" He winked at Rose causing her to blush again. "Right all misery? Life and soul? Right-hand, left-hand? A gambler, a fighter, a coward, a traitor, a lair, a nervous wreak? I mean judging by evidence I've got a gob." He noticed the orb. "And how am I going to react when I see this? A great big threatening button. A great big threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? Let me guess. It's some sort of control matrix, hm? Hold on, what's feeding it? And what have we got here? Blood?" He stuck his finger in it and tasted it. "Yep, definitely blood. Human blood. A positive. With just a dash of iron. But that means... blood control! Blood control! Aw! I haven't seen blood control for years! You're controlling all the A positives. Which leaves us with a great big stinking problem. Because I really don't know who I am. I don't know when to stop. So if I see a great big threatening button which should never ever, ever be pressed, I just want to do this—" and he slammed his hand down on the button releasing all the people from their dazed state.

The Doctor explained why they wouldn't jump because of the person will that could not be completely controlled by power of suggestion that it was only voodoo. The leader telling him that form of blood was their only first form of conquest. The Doctor ran over and grabbed a sword and challenged the leader for the planet.

Rose watched on holding onto the blue robe that the Doctor had tossed to her. She hoped nothing bad would happen to him, because she didn't want to loose him. She thought she nearly lost him earlier that day, and it scarred her more then she ever thought possible.

He ran over to wall and pressed a button and went outside on top of the ship. Rose quickly behind him quietly cheering him on while the others didn't really know what to think. She knew from what she seeing he could truly hold his own. Rose's eyes widen when she saw the strange looking alien cut his hand off.

The Sycorax watched the Doctor's hand grow back. "Witchcraft.

"Time Lord." said the Doctor and Rose them him another sword and he quickly caught it and twisted his wrist swinging it around. "You know this new hand is a fightin' hand," and swung the sword at the Sycorax.

Rose let a small smile cross her face when the Doctor disarmed the Sycorax leader and told him to his command to leave and never return. He turned and walked over to Rose, and slipped the blue robe back over the pajamas. They made their way back into the ship. He found a Satsuma in the pocket. He told her about getting all kinds of presents and at the bottom of it was one old stinking Satsuma. He heard the leader run up and he threw it at the yellow button, and told her he was a no second chances man.

Once he entered the ship he told the Scycox to tell them to inform the others that the Earth was defend. The Doctor, Rose, Mickey and Harriet along with the TARDIS portal back down to earth.

The Doctor looked up at the ship and watched it slowly leave, but just as it got out of sight he saw red beams shoot up and hit the ship killing the entire alien race. He turned to Harriet stunned at her actions. She told him that he come and go and that earth needed protection from alien threats.

The Doctor and Rose walked outside followed by Mickey and Jackie and they looked up at the sky. He told them that it was spaceship breaking up in the atmosphere. Rose looked over at the Doctor with slightly sad eyes.

"And what about you? What are you going to do next?" Rose asked the Doctor.

"Well... back to the TARDIS. Same old life.

"On your own?" She said not wanting to actually leave him alone.

"Why? Don't you want to come?"

"Well yeah."

The Doctor asked, "Do you though?"

"Yeah." She said with a smile.

"Well I just thought... 'cause I changed." said the Time Lord slightly nervous.

Rose looked over at him and said, "Yeah, I thought 'cause you changed you might not want me anymore."

The Doctor smiled and said "Oh I'd love you to come."

"Okay!" said Rose excitedly.

Mickey looked at Rose sadly and said, "You're never going to stay, are you?"

Rose couldn't help but fell a little sorry but she had to live her life. "There's just so much out there. So much to see. I've got to."

Mickey said, "Yeah.

Jackie looked over at the couple. "Well I reckon you're mad, the pair of ya. It's like you go lookin' for trouble."

The Doctor turned to Jackie and smiled, "Trouble's just the bits in between! It's all waiting out there, Jackie. And it's brand new to me. All those planets, creatures and horizons—I haven't seen them yet. Not with these eyes. And it is gonna be... Fantastic."

The Doctor held out his hand and wiggled his fingers and Rose took his hand into her own. She couldn't help but notice how well their hands fitted together. She looked over and smiled brightly at her Doctor.
