Title- Part of Her

Chapter One

Rating- T ( Could possibly change in future chapters)

Time- Set prior to established Series Four. I'm sending Donna home for a while. Not 'cause I don't love her, but I don't need her (perfect) comic relief right now. I will bring her back at..some...point.

Author's Note- So this has always been my take on how I would bring Rose back. I mean, we've seen what the time vortex is capable... I have ideas for three or four chapters of this particular story, and at least one more story to follow this one and another unrelated one (about a land of pears). Actually that one could be up in a few days... if you guys like me! P.S.- Thanks to Jessa L'Rynn fpr picking up on my confusing the words millenia and century. You can tell when I write things at 3 a.m.!

Part of Her

I am the TARDIS. For a millenia (or so) I have travelled with a man called the Doctor. A man who is much, much more than a man and actually (now that I think of it) really not a man at all. At first things had been so happy, my Doctor was so carefree. But then the Time War happened. And so many, many people died, and a bit of my brilliant Doctor died along with them, just a bit. So he did what he knew to do best, he bottled himself up. Companions came and companions went, and the Doctor ran, ran, ran. Until he ran smack into the basement of a London shop. I think that on that day Rose Tyler saved my Doctor, just a bit

And for a while things were happy again, and this time my Doctor would laugh as he ran, ran, ran. Until he ran smack into the daleks. While they tried to kill us all, Rose Tyler decided to save the world. Looked me in the very heart, she did. And boy, what did she see. Absorbing all my energy, the brave, mad little girl became the big bad wolf.

So on and so forth and the Doctor changed, as he does from time to time. Chipper and cheeky now, they continued to run, run, run. Rose Tyler ran with the Doctor through time and space (and relative dimensions), both believing that they would run forever. Until I made an...error. Wires crossed, paths tangled together and all that until I found myself crashing down upon 2012 (not-)London through a soon-closing dimensional rift. Again, smack into the daleks (and a few cybermen to boot.) Stuck between a void and a hard place, Rose Tyler once again got the brilliant idea to save the world. It didn't take a time vortex this time, simply the right lever at the wrong time. Then she was gone, stuck in the wrong dimension. And a bit more of my Doctor died.

He bottled himself up. Companions came and companions went, and the broken Doctor ran, ran, ran. His world would have continued running, running, running along if not for one thing. My Doctor was absolutely, completely, irrevocably, stupidly in love with Rose Tyler. So stupidly in love with Rose Tyler that he could hardly function. Chipper and cheeky on the outside, his inside was what worried me. For a while there he tried everything to bring Rose back from the other side of the Void.

Everything except me. Rose Tyler and I formed a bond when she looked into my soul. My Doctor tried his best to pull all of my energy out of her and back into me, but things with Rose Tyler never quite work out as planned. Its that little bit of energy that binds us. Even now if I concentrate, I can see her, feel her. And though I realize her (human) brain can't comprehend telepathy on its own, I'm sure my energy is a nagging feeling she's never been able to shake, just a bit.

And after all those times he and I saved the world, running, running, running, after that day Rose Tyler used looked into the time vortex. If my soul can destroy an entire race of daleks and grant immortality, does he really think I can't pull one little girl through a dimensional void?

Let's see what Rose Tyler thinks.
