A/N: Welcome to the sequel of While You were gone! This is a short reintroduction to the characters. Rose's outfit is in my profile.

Enjoy!

It had been a week since he changed back. A week of him trying his hardest to act normal. A week of him slowly learning more about Rose. A week of him restraining himself so he doesn't tackle Rose and kiss her for all she's worth. Wait where did that thought come from? The Doctor sighed. He realized that Rose needed time. It had been over 50 years since she last saw him. Rose and Martha had been getting along rather well. The TARDIS was still in the Time Vortex. He hadn't taken her out since he has been back. The Doctor was waiting impatiently for the other occupants to wake up so they could finally get back out there.

"Morning." Rose stumbled into the kitchen. The Doctor noticed that her style changed drastically. Today she was wearing dark jeans with brown boots. Her gray shirt was covered by a jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up. She had her TARDIS key and mother's wedding ring on full display. He has always thought Rose was beautiful but he definitely likes her new style. He smiles up at her. After all those years and she still wasn't a morning person.

"Good morning, Rose." She gave him a tired smile and walked to pour herself some cereal. Martha walked in behind her. She was wearing jeans but they weren't nearly as tight as Rose's and they weren't as dark either. She wore a simple t-shirt with a jacket slung over it. "Good morning, Martha." Martha smiled to him.

"Morning Doctor." Martha joined Rose to get something to eat. He continued to sip his tea before he spoke up.

"So I was thinking we could visit a planet today." Rose stopped eating for a minute.

"That sounds gorgeous. Don't get me wrong, I love the TARDIS but I've been itching for an adventure. The most action that has happened last week was when I hid your banana stash."

"That was you?!" The Doctor whined. Rose and Martha laughed.

"You think they just disappeared?" Rose stuck her tongue out at him. The Doctor's eyes dropped down to her tongue before he turned away. He coughed awkwardly before getting up. "Doctor." Rose said softly. He turned to face her again. "I think I have an answer now." Martha and the Doctor knew immediately what she was talking about. They both questioned her of how she escaped the ray that was shot at her. One second she was standing in the line of fire and the next she was right behind the daughter. Rose didn't want to talk about it. She tried to say that she didn't know but they knew it was a lie. The truth was she was afraid of what the Doctor and Martha would think of her. It took a week for Rose to gather the courage. The TARDIS helped her as much as possible. Now that she was back to full power, Rose and the TARDIS could communicate on a much better scale. The TARDIS could hear her thoughts and send her some. She had been asking for help from the TARDIS all week.

"It's alright Rose. You can tell us." The Doctor spoke gently. Rose let out a deep breath.

"This is going to sound really strange. I mean really strange." Rose eyed the Doctor. Martha came to them and sat at the table.

"I'm sure it's not that strange." The Doctor tried to lighten the mood.

"I can... sort of... control time." Rose slowly. The Doctor gaped at her.

"What do you mean?" He asked cautiously. Rose shook her head.

"I'm not entirely sure. The first time I used it I was scared as hell. My baby brother, Tony, was running around outside. The ball he was playing with rolled onto the street. He chased after it. I saw the car coming but Tony just ran out. The car was going to hit him. I ran toward him and screamed. When I opened my eyes everything stopped. I picked Tony up and moved him back in the lawn. I'm not sure how long it took for time to resume again but it felt like a couple hours." The Doctor nodded slowly. "After that I tried to avoid using it. It only happened when something bad was going to happen. I tried to learn how to use it. Eventually I taught myself. It's strange, I can go forward and backward in time too." The Doctor and Martha stared at her. "The TARDIS has helped me. She told me everything that I can do. She says that I can use it on other things too. She says that I can wipe them from existence, that I can age them until they are nothing but dust." Rose looked at the Doctor with sadness before her features hardened. She was not going to let them see weakness. She spent 50 years as a Torchwood agent, she's not going to let that go out the window because she's scared.

"The TARDIS said?" The Doctor was still processing exactly what he heard. His pink and yellow human was now a golden goddess bathed in time. Rose nodded.

"She talks to me." Rose said simply. The Doctor could tell Rose was trying to be strong for his sake. She must be scared. He decided it best not to dwell on it too much.

"Well, the important thing is you're alive and well." The Doctor smiled. Rose gave a small smile.

"This is crazy." Martha was still staring at Rose. "It's brilliant and terrifying and just down right crazy." Martha smiled. "Most importantly it's wonderful." She laughed. The Doctor jumped up.

"Let's go explore a new planet now." He held out both of his hands. Martha and Rose each took one.

"By explore please tell me you mean find some sort of plot to wipe out all beings in the universe and save it just in the nick of time." Rose looked up to the Doctor. He laughed. When had she gotten so adrenaline addicted?

"Wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled. Martha, Rose, and the Doctor made their way to the console room. The Doctor landed them and smiled at his companions. They are both excited for the next adventure. He realizes that this is how it's going to be; running around saving the universe with his friend and the woman he loves, jumping from planet to planet looking for the next adventure. They will never settle down and he wouldn't have it any other way.

A/N: Let me know what you thought. Apologies for it being so short. I always make prologues short. I should probably fix that *shrugs*. Next chapter will start off with Blink. Don't worry, it's not going to be an exact rewrite with Rose added in. It's going to be just the basic things that are the same like Sally Sparrow and the Weeping Angels. Anyways, I hope to see you next time. Thanks for reading!
