This is set when Rose, Jackie and 10.2 have been dropped off in Pete's world. It's really short but please read and review xx
"We've been left on a beach in the middle of Norway."
Rose swore.
"I'm back here. Here! In Pete's world. On bloody Bad Wolf Bay. After all this time!"
The metacrisis Doctor squeezed her hand sympathetically, carefully concealing his wince at Rose's voice which was steadily getting louder and higher-pitched.
"I spent so much time searching. I've seen so many parallel worlds and more than a few of the Doctor's regenerations. So much life."
"What do we do now?" Jackie's question was more focused on the metacrisis (what would they call him – Doctor II?).
"You're going back to Pete and Tony. With Rose."He wasn't sure where he was going yet. He knew where he wanted to be but he wasn't sure if he was invited. He'd never needed the invitation before. (But it wasn't him. That was the problem.)
Rose gave him a contradictory look, somehow both hard and soft. "You are as well." He might not be her Doctor but he was still part of him. And the Doctor had charged her with his care. He'd trusted her that much. She was damned well going to do her best.
But she could already tell it was going to hurt.
Looking at the hopeful look on his face, though, she had to remind him if they were going to stay together then it was going to take some work.
"I told you. I've been left behind in an alternate universe in Norway. At least Sarah-Jane got Aberdeen," To soften the blow she sent him a small smile, but her eyes were hard.
"I'm so sorry."
Together, following Jackie who'd been standing behind them and complaining about the fact that they were in Norway, they walked hand in hand down the beach.
