Disclamer: nope, don't own Doctor Who *sigh, a girl can dream right?


The Doctor sat in a chair in the control room of the TARDIS, anxiously tossing a ball back and forth between his hands. It had been a few days since the groups little misadventure at Christmas, but Kazrans words still haunted him. He could still see the old man's face as he practically screamed, "One last day with your beloved, which day would you choose? Which day!"

In an instant he had thought of Rose, of his lost love that he would never get to spend that one last day with. He had wanted to tell Kazran off, that he hadn't even gotten a last day, that his love had been stolen from him, whisked into another universe because it was the only way to save her. But he had stopped himself Kazran wouldn't understand, wouldn't understand the pain that one sentence caused him.

Amy and Rory had gone off to sleep already so the Doctor was alone in the cavernous main room of the TARDIS, still restlessly tossing that ball. He caught the ball in his right hand and looked at it was TARDIS blue and had strange Galifrayin symbols all over it. Rose had thrown it at him on several occasions and had always kept it on her bedside table just in case he did something to deserve getting hit.

The Doctor sighed, he missed Rose missed her with all of his two hearts. No one could ever replace that girl. 'But she doesn't need me,' he thought, 'not anymore, she has my clone, a clone that will grow old and die with, that won't go changing his face on her. She doesn't need me-'

As soon as he thought this a strange, electric sounding, "Pop!" cut though the silence and a girl appeared with a puff of smoke. She had her eyes closed tightly and her right hand clamped over her left wrist. She opened her eyes and looked around, confused.

"Where am I?" she looked at the Doctor. Hazel eyes met green ones, "An who the heck are you?"

The doctor stood up and stared are the blonde girl in front of him, incredulous, "Rose?"
