How they managed to cross timelines, he'd never understand. Rose Tyler and his former incarnation were standing right in front of him. Something wasn't right. The world should be falling apart. The Reapers should be attacking them. You couldn't cross your own timeline! Well, he supposed he could but he shouldn't!

"Doctor…why is the other you over there?" Clara remembered seeing the past Doctor when she saved him, but she had no idea why he was there. "Who's that blonde girl?"

"That…that is Rose Tyler. I don't know why they're here. They shouldn't be here. We shouldn't be here. We should leave before –"

"Oi! What do you think you're doin'? Ya can't just go starin' at people. Not right, ya know," Rose Tyler's cockney accent shouted across the small area, and she began to march towards them. Oh how the Doctor missed her, but he didn't miss her anger. The other Doctor followed close behind, trying to calm her down.

"Now, Rose, I'm sure the man wasn't looking at us. He was just…looking at the scenery…oh Rose no don't hit him!" But by the time he said that, Rose had smacked the Doctor across the face.

The Doctor rubbed his cheek and muttered, "Got your mum's arm. God that hurt, ow." Clara giggled and Rose's brows shot up.

"You know my mum? How do you know my mum? You aren't that new bloke of hers, are you? If you are, I'll tell her you were starin' at me, and oooh you'll get it!" Rose shook her fist at the Doctor, who took a step back.

"No, I'm not your mum's new bloke. It's…it's complicated." The other Doctor studied the Doctor, taking out his screwdriver and scanning him. "Oh, I wouldn't do tha…"

The other Doctor's jaw went slack. "No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yeah…"

"What? How?"

"I had the same question, Doctor."

Rose was confused. "How do you know who he is? Who are you?"

"Oh, Rose Tyler. How I've missed your remarks." The Doctor fixed his bowtie, smiling at the blonde.

The other Doctor leaned over to Rose and whispered in her ear. Clara looked at the Doctor and made a motion that said she was going to leave, let them be alone for a bit. The Doctor nodded and the brunette left.

"You're…you're him?" Rose questioned, pointing from the Doctor to the other Doctor. "But…you said that shouldn't happen. How is it happening?"

"Not sure, Rose, but if this is what I end up looking like someday….eugh." The other Doctor pulled at his neck of the shirt, teasing the Doctor.

"Hey. Bowties are cool."

"Yeah, if you're Bill Nye."

"Bowties have gotten much more popular, okay?"

"It's ridiculous. Why would you go with it?"

Rose chuckled and walked up to the Doctor. "Well, I love it," she baited him, fixing the bow tie, as he had made it off kilter.

"I love you." The Doctor said suddenly. He gasped and covered his mouth. "Ohhh I shouldn't have done that."

The other Doctor glared, as if to say that he was supposed to be the one to say it. Rose smiled and pressed her lips to the Doctor's mouth, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I love you, Doctor."

A distant voice was calling his name, a voice that sounded like Clara's.

"Doctor….Doctor…Doctor!" Clara was right next to him. "Doctor, are you okay? You fell and hit your head pretty hard…"

The Doctor sighed and sat up. "Yeah…I'm fine…" he lied, knowing that his hearts had shattered once more.

Oops. Sorry. That hurt…well, review it please. I realize I have quite a few stories that need to be updated, and I shall do that today.
