Nobody Sees

Prologue

"I said, 'Rose Tyler,'" the Doctor said. He and his clone, the Meta Crisis Doctor stood on either side of a desperate Rose Tyler on a cold, forlorn beach beside Bad Wolf Bay in Pete's world.

"Yeah," Rose Tyler replied, then asked questioningly, "and how was that sentence gonna end?"

The Doctor looked at her mournfully. "Does it need saying?"

Yes it does! Rose wanted to scream at him as she looked at him tearfully. I crossed time and space so that I could hear those words! She knew what he was doing here and she both hated and loved the Doctor for it. Rose knew he was trying to make her happy by giving her someone who could die, but wouldn't he see she didn't want to be happy with anyone but him? Nevertheless, she turned toward the Meta Crisis Doctor to see if he would say those three little words she so desperately needed to hear.

"And you, Doctor. What was the end to that sentence?"

The Meta Crisis Doctor leaned over to Rose and whispered those three precious words in her ear. "I love you."

In that moment, all the thoughts she had been thinking didn't matter anymore. This man thought just like her Doctor, so if he loved her, then so did her Doctor. And so she loved him just for that. She gazed into his eyes for a moment and then grabbed his lapels and pulled him in for a deep kiss. Rose poured everything into that kiss – her frustration at her Doctor's misplaced chivalry, her hurt at his rejection even though she knew he did it out of love, and her love for the Doctor. The Human Doctor did almost the same thing. He did pour in his anger at being rejected by his own self, but mostly, he poured in his overwhelming love and adoration for the woman he was kissing.

The original Doctor, on the other hand, just stood there, watching them as Rose put her arms around his double. He knew he was doing what would make everyone (besides himself) happiest in the end, but for some reason, this thought did not stop his hearts from breaking. He turned around, unable to watch any longer, and walked with Donna into the TARDIS, silently saying goodbye to his love for the very last time.

Rose broke away from the Meta Crisis Doctor at the familiar sound of the TARDIS dematerializing and ran towards it, only to stop as she realized there was nothing she could do. The other Doctor came over and intertwined his fingers with hers. Rose knew that he could make their relationship work and that he would pour his whole self into it. She was the only barrier. She would try, but she didn't know whether or not she could let herself love someone who wasn't the original Time Lord she fell in love with.

Rose and the Human Doctor looked at each other and wondered where they would be in six months.
