It was that familiar whooshing noise that cause Rose to jump up to her feet from the grass in the park. She searched around, scanning everything nearby until she made out a blue box materializing next to a dumpster.

Rose didn't even think about, didn't say a word to her mum or Pete who was playing with Tony next to her, she just ran. Ran as fast as she possibly could to her home, to her Doctor, to the TARDIS.

She began to politely knock on the blue doors, and then began to almost slam her knuckles on it, which hurt and finally was practically pounding on the door.

Behind the locked door stood the Doctor, who watched the pink and yellow human on a screen he pulled down. He saw he screaming for him to come out, her head through the wooden door, knew she knew it was him. But he didn't move.

She was happy here. She had her meta crisis Doctor, she didn't need him. She was happy here, probably pregnant with his baby, maybe even has a child by now, and a house with a mortgage and proper furniture. She had everything the Doctor could never give her.

Just as he reached to pull the lever to send him back to his own universe he looked at her one last time and realized she was crying.

The pounding had stopped, now she was sitting on the heels of her feet on the grass sobbing. Sobbing to let her in please, saying she knew he was in there, saying that she just wanted to see him one last time even if he didn't want her anymore. And most importantly saying how alone she was and seeing him would fix it all. Rose was alone.

The Doctor unlocked and opened the TARDIS door and bent down to pick up Rose's chin to look at him. "I'm not the same anymore, Rose Tyler. But why would you ever be alone?"

Rose stood up, the Doctor copying her movement seconds after. Her head once again looking down at the floor, still crying. "He's been dead, 3 months now. Got himself killed by a wandering cyberman. That stupid man, stupid, stupid man…"

The Doctor grabbed her into a hug that she returned weakly, obviously distraught over her loss and the fact that he wasn't her Doctor.

He pulled her into the TARDIS and placed her down on a seat next to the controls and kissed her her forehead gently. "I'm sorry Rose,"

Rose looked up at him, head still down but brown eyes peering up at him under her eyebrows. "When did you change?"

"Remember that man, on New Years, few months before you met me? You couldn't see him, he was in the shadows. That was me, it was after that Rose."

The Doctor voice was soft and soothing to her, and even though it wasn't her Doctor she was calmed by it. The TARDIS calmed her even though the interior had changed entirely. His touched calmed her, even though it wasn't the same. The vague familiarities were what soothed her, especially when she felt his two hearts beating as he pulled her into his embrace.

"Why'd you change it?" Rose was clearly asking about the appearance as she gazed around the room. "I liked the old one, but this is good too."

"You like her?" He smiled at her as he stood up and stretched out his hand for her. "Can I show you something?"

Rose nodded and grabbed his hand, his cool skin felt nice against her burning palm. He lead her down a hall, she obviously hadn't recognized, to a door.

She immediately recognized it as her room. It was single wooden door, with scratches along the panel. With a piece of tape stuck to the smooth dark wood from when the Doctor posted a note on her door and she didn't get all the tape off. There was even a smudge of pink nailpolish from when she had hit her wet nails against it.

"You kept it?" She reached for the handle and smiled as she pulled it open to see it was exactly how she'd left it. Knickers in the corner and all- although she wished the Doctor hadn't seen that regardless of what regeneration he was in.

"Still across from mine too, same hall too, just different decorations. In case you came back, of course." No not because he thought she was coming back. It was because he hadn't had the heart to rid all her stuff and dump it in a room he never looked at along with many others. She was more than a box of clothes and items to him.

"Wait," Rose made her way to the bed and picked up a small picture of her. "This wasn't here."

"I put it there, in, uh, case you forgot what you looked like." He rushed out the sentence quickly, knowing it didn't make any sense. In truth he had curled up in her blankets for sometime after she had gone, clutching her picture and trying to smell the faint scent of her still stuck in the sheets.

"In case I forgot," Rose laughed and looked at him, smiling. "You put it here then?"

"Yes,"

"Why? Really why? Because I haven't forgot what I've looked like before so,"

"I- I missed you," He stuttered out as he rubbed the back of his neck looking down at the floor. "I wanted to remember you,"

"Like a grave," Rose whispered as she laid the picture back down on the blue sheets before looking up at him. "Who else had traveled with you? Besides Donna and Martha?"

"Um, they're actually-"

The Doctor was interrupted by a sharp scottish voice cutting through the air. "Doctor! Doctor when are we leaving? Can I take a look outside? Where have we landed?"

"That's Amy," He smiled sheepishly at Rose, who looked very slightly jealous he had yet another girl with him.

"Are you…?" Rose asked, not really wanting to know but just in case. "I mean you'd figured I was happy it would make sense."

"God no!" The Doctor practically cringed at the thought and remembered how bad he felt for Rory. Amy was good hearted and kind and most certainly brilliant, but he wouldn't want to be with her like that. Especially since he considered her more of family than anything of that sort. "She's married, her husband Rory is travelling with us too."

With that Amy shouted again. "Rory, come on let's see what's out there."

The Doctor dashed down the hall they've come out to the TARDIS control room just in time to see Rory carrying him and Amy's coats. "Don't go, I want you to meet someone." He said hurriedly, a giant smile plastered onto his face.

It was if Rose was on cue and just finished walking out of the hall into the room as he finished his sentence.

"This is Rose Tyler," He ran over to her and gripped the small of her back with one hand and the other he used to point to the Ponds with. "This is Amelia, Amy, Pond and Rory the Roman!"

Rory grumbled and crossed his arms. "I'm not Rory the Roman."

"Course you are," The Doctor beamed at them as he pushed Rose forward to them.

Rose smiled politely and shook hands with them both, citing it was excellent to meet them both.

"Did you come out from where we landed? Are we in London?" Amy asked her curiously.

"Sorta, parallel universe London. Basically the same but a bit different." Rose explained as she walked over to the door and opened it for them to see still looking at Amy and Rory "Look,"

When both their faces turned to horror, and the Doctor's pale she decided to actually look at what was outside and was surprised to find… her mother.

A very angry Jackie Tyler stood outside the TARDIS, arms crossed and face as red as a tomato. She tapped her foot on the ground in annoyance, even Rose became scared. It didn't even take 10 seconds for her to burst into this new TARDIS and start screaming at the closest male, who happened to be Rory.

"Look at you! Leaving Rose twice, having her husband die, and now coming back to make it all better? You even changed! You couldn't even keep this… THING, the same. Do you have a hobby of hurting my daughter, I should slap you Doctor." Rory looked absolutely horrified as the short blonde screamed at him. Rory was so scared his arms were up in surrender and he could barely manage to choke out he wasn't the Doctor.

Jackie would probably apologize later, but instead turned to the actual Doctor, anger still boiling inside of her. "You then! You bloody bastard! Leaving my daughter all alone! First time you left her she cried for months hoping you'd find a way back. And then when she did you left her with another you and he went off and died! You have to nerve to come back and- and-" Jackie slapped him square across the face causing him to blink several times before he answered her.

"Jackie I tried, I really tried. I thought she was happy, I just wanted to see her again, once last time- happy."

"Happy! That idiot bloke ran off and got himself killed, and left my Rose all alone!"

"Jackie please," Jackie's hand began to raise again causing the Doctor to back up slowly in caution. He was over 1000 years old and he had ever only been slapped by Rose Tyler mother.

"Please! That's what she said when she was crying for you both back! Thought you'd know when he died and come back for her but you never did!" Anger was still laced in her voice, which made Rose step forward and place a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her.

"Mum, it's fine. I'm fine see? All in one piece, me." Rose said softly behind her mother, hand still gripping her shoulder. "He's back now, see? All better, back now. We could probably go home too. He'll bring up back, won't he?"

Roses eyes pleaded for a yes at the Doctor to which he happily complied, anything to get Jackie Tyler out of his arse. "Yes absolutely, maybe I'll even move to some other place. Paris? How about paris? I could bring you to New Earth in the future! May need some new clothes, but still! What about Clom? Barcelona? The planet or the city, whichever you desire. Oi, Jackie Tyler please don't slap me again!"

Jackie lowered her hand as Rose's grip tightened around her mum's shoulder, an apologetic look in her eyes as she glanced around the room. Amy and Rory stood pressed against a corner, even the Doctor looked terrified of her mother and he had seen the Devil himself.

Jackie soon turned to Rose, a look of disbelief on her features. "You're just gunna leave with him again then? After all that? So he can just get you lost on another planet, or leave you?"

"I will never leave her Jackie," The Doctor interjected as he stepped forwards, knowingly putting himself at risk of another slap. "I will never leave her again."

"Sure you won't." She started sarcastically before continuing. "And what happens when she gets old and can't travel anymore? You're sure not bloody settling down anywhere I can tell you that!"

"I'll stay with her," He gulped down the mere thought of her getting old and dying and continued on. "We can get a house, for the Time being. Or we'll just park the TARDIS on a planet she likes and live there. Live there until she's… we'll just stay there. I promised her forever."

"You can't give her your forever."

"And that's my punishment then," He whispered to her.

The Doctor saw Jackie's eyes soften, and for a moment she could see the immense pain he would suffer, had already suffered. She knew he was the last of the Time Lords but never truly knew what it meant till now. The Doctor was alone.

Jackie raised her finger, a stern but kinder voice than before. "Keep her safe, and bring me back to the other world because I am surely seeing her again."

"Done,"

With that Jackie Tyler strutted out the door, pony tail bumping as she slammed the TARDIS door behind her.

Rose walked over to this new bow tied Doctor and grabbed his hand in hers to which he smiled at her brightly.

"Well, will you come with me again? See the stars? Never did get to take you to Barcelona." He asked her, hope burning just as brightly as the sun in his eyes.

"Course,"

"Forever then?"

"Forever."


Idk this maybe a One-shot or not. For now I'll keep it as on going. If you want me to write more Eleven x Rose and their adventures I have some cool ideas. But be warned, i have never written Amy, and find her very hard to write and have yet to find someone to capture her the way she is in the show while reading fanfiction. Also I'm american so idk all the terms and how to write everything since i'm not from Britian.

If you want me to continue just say so :) Please review, follow and favorite :) Thanks for reading my fellow whovarins :)
