I feel like I haven't been on if forever! I hope none of you guys forgot about me! It's another 11/Rose story. But the shipping here is rose/john. 11 is just popping in..

The TARDIS landed roughly on the ground, flinging the eleventh Doctor to the machine's metal floor. The Doctor moaned as he got up. He wasn't as young as he used to be. The Doctor wanted to call out; making sure everyone was ok and ready for the day's adventure. But it took a moment to remember he was alone. The Ponds had left him alone and River was off in her own timeline. The time travel patted the console of his ship. "it's just us. It's always you and me Eh? Everyone else leaves. But you never do." he told her. He smiled at the TARDIS' clicking and creaking, like it was replying. The Doctor exited, stepping onto wet Earth ground. But as the Doctor looked up from his now muddy shoes, he knew something was different than his last Earth trip. His new face had never been here and half afraid, half curious looked around. But his hearts had been here, and they ached in reminder. This time, parallel Earth lacked Cypermen. But it still had blimps in the sky. And this world also was home to Rose Tyler.

The Doctor turned to the TARDIS. It was parked in an alley, hidden from the street. "Do you really think I'm going to leave now?" he asked, smirking. The eleventh Doctor walked into the street, buzzing with excitement. People walked in and out of shops, cars drove by honking at walkers. The Doctor looked out of place in his usual getup. Not knowing where to look first, he popped into a nearby shop. The first thing he noticed about the store was that it was a toy store, filled with children and mothers running around. The second thing he noticed was a crying little girl standing alone. The Doctor weaved in and out of shoppers, who were not paying attention to the child. When he reached the child, he bent down to her height. Her face was covered by her hands, a sob escaping every few seconds. "Are you lost?" the girl raised her head and nodded. Her brown hair and matching eyes made the Doctor's hearts ache. She couldn't have been older than four. "But why are you sad? You're in a toy store!" he exclaimed happily. The girl wiped her eyes, "do you know where my mommy is?" her small voiced asked. The Doctor couldn't help but wonder who would leave this poor child alone. "I-I saw a doll and ran to show her, but she didn't come." well that explained that. The Doctor rose to his normal height. He held put his hand and her small one wrapped around it. "Let's go find your mommy!" he told her. The doctor was taking the girl to the checkout counter when he heard a women's voice from behind them, "Emily!" the voice sounded panicked. The girl turned from the doctor, and started for the unseen voice. The time lord stood in the same spot as he watched as Emily run. A woman appeared and smiling bent to embrace her daughter. He stopped smiling. She saw the Doctor standing to the side, and picking up her child, came to meet him. The Doctor didn't have time to react before she was standing in front of him, "thank you for helping my daughter. What's your name?" She asked him, "Peter Harris." He held out his arm towards her. "Rose Smith. Pleasure." She told him, shaking his hand.

I'm sure all of you saw that coming. Not for sure how long this story is going to be. Reviews are like getting your braces off soon.
