Author's Note: Okay so this is going to be a trilogy, or series, depending on how long I want it to be, called the The Time Rose Series. I am beginning with the 9th Doctor because I love him, and I am killing off Rose. I know alot you love her, and she is my favorite companion besides Donna, but itworks with my story. The reason I am terminating Rose Tyler is because while she is a good character, I found alot of her drama annoying. Also, there is controversy over the Doctor having a permanent love interest, and I know that alot of you are the ones who think that he shouldn't have one, but that is the purpose of this story. But this isn't going to be a fast romance, there is going to be attraction from almost the beginning, but the love between my character and the Doctor is actually going to come from a strong bond that will develop over time. And the romance will not be the only focus of the story. Thank you and enjoy!


Prologue: A Journal Entry

You never forget your first Doctor. That is if you are lucky to travel with him long enough. And most aren't, except for River and myself. I have been through two regeneration cycles and three lives, and with all the time we have spent together, the Doctor still manages to surprise me. I normally don't write in journals but the Doctor says that recording our adventures in these pages and handing it to a random individual in the middle of London, would be the most logical medium in which we can spread our story on Earth without drawing attention to ourselves. Of course when I state that Rory, Amy, and Jack could do it instead, he waves off the idea and thrusts the blue journal, identical to River's, into my hands, and tells me to start writing. So as the Doctor tinkers under with T.A.R.D.I.S., I begin my tale.

I first met the Doctor at a bar...
