Hi yeah, basically I re-watched Journeys End the other day and I think the ending is just stupid and sad and makes me want to cry. So this idea was bugging me in my mind so I thought I would elaborate on it. Just a one-shot for now, busy with new chapters for Return Of The Wolf. But a little something for you 10xRose fans that all secretly (or not-so secretly) wish this happened.
The TARDIS began to materialize at their last stop, none other than Dårlig Ulv-Stranden. More commonly known as bad wolf bay. Jackie stepped out first, muttering something about being in the middle of bloody Norway, and having to phone Pete to come and send a zeppelin.
She was followed by the metacrisis and then hesitantly, Rose. "But this is the parallel universe, what are we doing here?"
The Doctor gulped, and scratched the back of his neck in a way to cover up his nervousness that Rose knew only too well.
"We're here to, give you a choice. You can come back, travel with me and Donna or stay here with your family and, him." He gestured to the metacrisis.
"What? Why would you want me to stay? And why with him, he's not you"
"Rose, the metacrisis is me, same thoughts same mind same memories, same everything. But he's only got one heart, one life- and he could spend it with you."
"So he's exactly the same?" The Doctor nodded. Rose moved to stand in between the two identical men.
"Well," she said "if you two are the same person. Answer me this" she turned to the metacrisis doctor "last time we stood on this beach, on the worst day of my life… what was the last thing you said to me?"
The Doctor's face crumpled slightly but the metacrisis' remained stony. "I said Rose Tyler." He stated, almost as if the day was just part of history, like he had read it. "Yeah and how was that sentence going to end?"
"Does it need saying?" he asked
Rose sighed and turned back to the original doctor, "what was it Doctor? What were you trying to say?"
"Rose Tyler, I… I love you! Okay? I do with both my hearts. I am absolutely completely head-over-heels totally in love with you. And I can't help it. Since I first met you, when I was all big ears and leather I loved you Rose, and that hasn't changed. But him… you could, have a life together. A family, you could be safe."
"But that's not what I want."
"Well Rose, we've got about two minuets. You have to make your decision, now or never."
Rose turned and faced her mother, she hugged her and said quietly "I'm going to miss you so much." Jackie began to cry, knowing she'd never see her daughter again. She gave the metacrisis I light kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sorry but, I can't, you're not… you understand right?" he nodded sadly, but barely any emotion flickered onto his face. Then Rose turned and she ran, she ran straight into the TARDIS where Donna and The Doctor were waiting inside. She grabbed The Doctor and did what she'd been wanting to do for so long, she kissed him. But it wasn't a save-you-from-burning-from-the-time-vortex kiss, or a borderline-sexual-harassment-possessed-by-Cassandra kiss. It was real and it was everything she had ever dreamt it would be.
When she released The Doctor, he leant against the railings barely able to breathe, not exactly sure what had just happened but totally prepared to just go with it. Donna began piloting the TARDIS back to their home universe and Rose shut the TARDIS doors behind her, never looking back.
Okay so there you have it, had to be done. Cliché but hey, who doesn't like a bit of cliché? Like I said before, may continue, let me know what you think in the reviews/favs!
