A/N: Hello Doc/Rose shippers! I'm glad you are all still alive and kicking, because here's another story for you guys to read. This is my first fanfiction, and first attempt at writing anything for real, so please have mercy! Also, please review, reviews are very much appreciated and will encourage me to keep writing! With all that aside, here is the prologue. Hope you enjoy!

Prologue

It all started out so well.

Rose stared at the Doctor's worn-down face gazing at her only to turn her head and see a matching face. Was the Doctor really leaving her here…again? The wind was unforgiving and whipped her hair over her face and into her eyes as she tried to make the hardest decision of her life. Just 20 minutes ago it was like old times again- her, the Doctor, saving the world and defeating the Daleks. She tasted victory. Oh, how she wished that moment lasted forever.

"But, it's still not right. The Doctor's still…you," She tried to reason with her battling emotions and the Doctor.

"And I'm him," The Doctor insisted.

"Alright, both of you answer me this. When I last stood on this beach on the worst day of my life, what was the last thing you said to me?" This was more than a test of memory, she knew, she just needed one last chance for the Doctor's true feelings to be spoken aloud. She didn't know what she would do if he didn't. "Go on, say it."

"I said 'Rose Tyler'," the Doctor replied.

"Yeah, and how was that sentence going to end?"

The Doctor stared torturously into her eyes for a few more seconds when he spoke, "It doesn't need saying."

'Alright,' Rose thought, 'that was it then.' She tried to hide her disappointment and turned to the other Doctor, "And you, Doctor?" More seconds ticked away as she stared into his matching eyes. She found herself just as lost in them as the original Doctor's and hardly noticed when he started to lean into her as she continued, "What was the end of that sentence?"

The Doctor was at her ear now and she heard and felt what she had been desperate to hear for so, so long. His breath ghosted her ear, leaving it tingling as he whispered,

"I love you with everything that I am."

And that was it. Just her and the Doctor. Forever.

Or so it seemed.

A/N: So there you have it, the prologue! I have written ahead a couple chapters, but at this point am not sure how often I will be updating. I am a poor, studying college student and need to work and do homework so it may be weekly, but we will see.
