So, this is the brainchild of me and my friend, as we somehow thought Female!Doctor in a relationship with both Rose and River was a good idea.

For the purpose of this story, assume that there was no Metacrisis Doctor. How Stolen Earth/Journey's End played out can be up to the reader, but may be clarified later on in this story.

VERY IMPORTANT! THE DOCTOR IS FEMALE! YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY. THE DOCTOR IS FEMALE.

For the real life Rose in my life, who was the first to hear of my idea. You're the best.

The Tardis was crashing. Rose clung onto the rails of surrounding the console as fires lit the room, watching the Doctor, a newly regenerated Doctor, who also happened to be her fiancé, but that was a matter for another time, piloted their Tardis, trying to give them a safe landing.

Had she been alone, Rose knew the Doctor would not put forth this much effort into not crashing, especially after a regeneration, but her beloved Rose was on board, and she knew the Doctor would do anything in her power to prevent Rose from being harmed.

Rose laughed joyously as they landed, the Tardis tipping over and sending them flying through the halls, until, with a splash, they landed in the swimming pool, which they had recently found in the library.

"Are you okay, Rose?"

"Fine!" The formally human girl replied, spitting water out of her mouth.

"Excellent!"

Rose wasn't entirely sure how they got out of the overturned Tardis, but, next thing she knew, she was standing next to the new Doctor in a garden, a wide mouthed little girl, around age eight, standing in front of them.

"Do you have any apples?" The Doctor said in place of a greeting. "I love apples."

The girl's jaw dropped even further as Rose laughed joyously.

The Doctor spat out the bite of apple. "Apples are rubbish! I hate apples!" She exclaimed, sending Rose into hysterics.

Beans, bacon, The Doctor tried all sorts of food while the girl, who had introduced herself as Amelia, and Rose watched, the latter finding the whole process rather amusing.

Finally, the Doctor stood from the table, and began rummaging through the fridge and freezer before finally letting out a noise of satisfaction as she revealed her pickings: fish fingers and custard.

Amelia watched with disgust as the Doctor ate the food, occasionally offering Rose a bite, who enjoyed the meal as much as her lover.

"Regeneration is tricky business," the blond girl explained to their young new friend as the Doctor drank the last of the custard. "You never know what you're going to end up with. She desperately wants to be ginger, and this is her third body since I've met her. Still hasn't happened yet. But there's a whole new set of likes and dislikes. She's trying to figure out what they are."

Amelia stared at the Doctor and Rose. "Are you here about the crack in my wall?"

All traces of mirth disappeared from the two time travelers, replaced by utmost seriousness.

"What crack?" The Doctor asked, exchanging looks with Rose.

The Doctor stood back as Rose examined the crack with her pink sonic screwdriver, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "Practically making me sick, this is," she proclaimed.

"What is it?" Amelia asked, tugging on the sleeve of Rose's leather jacket, which had once belonged to the Doctor, two regenerations ago. Rose was already planning on stealing one of the ties the Doctor had worn in the previous regeneration, a memento of sorts, her way of remembering the woman she had been, while loving the woman she was now.

"Two pieces of Time and Space that never should have touched," the Doctor exclaimed, stepping forward to peer at the crack. "Now, if I can just, aha!"

The crack widened, and a giant eye peered through the crack at the trio, who all instinctively took a step back. "Prisoner Zero has escaped," a voice sounded in the heads of Rose and the Doctor, before the crack thinned once more, before disappearing altogether.

"Curiouser and curiouser," Rose quoted, the Doctor flashing her a grin.

The cloister bells of the Tardis began ringing, and the two time travelers grinned once more.

"Give us five minutes!" The Doctor promised Amelia before racing from the room.

Rose knelt in front of Amelia. "Amelia, promise me something."

"What?" Amelia asked.

"Don't give up on her, on us. The Doctor once told me that it had been twelve hours, when, in reality, it had been twelve months. Time is funny business to a time traveler. But, Amelia, I promise we will be back. No matter how long it takes, we'll be back. Please wait, but know that it could take a little while."

Amelia nodded, before surprising Rose with a tight hug. "Hurry," the child whispered.

"We'll try," Rose promised, before departing for the Tardis.

So, new story. I'm on a roll with new stories this month.

So, to summarize. Rose isn't human anymore. I wonder what she could be! The Metacrisis never happened, I'm sure that how they got out of that mess will be explained in more detail soon. Rose elected to continue traveling with the Doctor at the end of Journey's End, the Doctor proposing to Rose sometime before regenerating. Amelia knows that she'll be waiting longer than five minutes for the Doctor, and the crack in the bedroom is gone.

Want to know what's going to happen next? So do I!

Geronimo!
