Some Things Are Not As They Seem

A/N: SPOILERS FOR SERIES 4, if you don't know or don't want to know DON'T read on!

I'm still unsure as to my thoughts about Journey's End and Rose going off with the other Doctor. I know they were the same but he wasn't the real Doctor and real Doctor at the end was so sad he deserves her.

Anyways on with the story I know most of the fics at the moment are to do with it but this is my version of what happened after that fated episode, and things aren't as they seem between Rose and her Second Doctor…

Rating: T possibly M at some point

It wasn't until the familiar hum of the Tardis was inaudible and the tide of the doomed beach was rising closer and closer to the three figures standing alone, that Rose finally turned away following her mother on the long journey home.

The second unfamiliar Doctor still holding her hand, he looked the same, his accent was the same and his brain seemed to work the same, however it still didn't feel the same.

As they walked away from the beach Rose felt her heart breaking for the second time. She just wanted to curl up and cry the same way she had done two years ago but this time it hurt more.

He had tried to give her a life with this new Doctor. But he wasn't her Doctor, she had fought so hard to get back to him and still he'd dropped her back here.

It wasn't even that she had to stay, Mickey had chosen to go back but she could have stayed with him.

The journey back to parallel England was silent, Jackie and the second Doctor chatted, but Rose stared out of the window not wanting to join them.

She felt more tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked up to the sky wondering what he was doing, where he and Donna were now, what adventures they were going on without her.

She felt a soft squeeze on her hand and looked at the second Doctor

"I meant it you know" he said quietly

"I know you did, I knew it all along" she gave him a small smile 'I just thought he'd say it' she added in her head. He put his arm around her and she settled awkwardly into him.

The journey seemed to take forever until they finally arrived at what Rose's small house, the one place she never thought she would see again. The place which had been a substitute home after the Tardis now looked as cold and lifeless.

She said goodbye to her mum promising to see her the following day and went inside followed by the Doctor.

"Do you want something to drink" she asked after a minute looking where he was sitting on the sofa

"Yes please, whatever you're having"

She smiled and went into the small kitchen he followed her in and put his arm around her waist.

"We'll be happy" he said "He gave us to each other because he knows I can make you happy like he never could"

Rose gave him a smile and hugged his waist

"We'll be okay" she said quietly "Sorry I've been quiet it's just been a long day"

"It's okay. I'll look after you if anyone does anything to hurt you I'll hurt them harder."

Rose shifted slightly and felt his arms tighten around her. She didn't know how she was able to make him better, when it happened before it was from love she wasn't consciously doing it but this time, with this Doctor it felt so forced. But she had to try and help, the Doctor had put them together, he had entrusted her to help him maybe it would be okay. She just had to hope.
