Title: Far Longer Than Forever

Rating: K

Summary: Post Doomsday. A song in a kids movie never seemed more serious.

Far Longer Than Forever

Rose lay on the couch, bored. It had been 2 months since that painful goodbye at Bad Wolf Bay. She wasn't hurting as much, it was mainly the little things she missed. His hand on hers. His adorable smile. That feeling that she was making a difference. Now what was she doing? Sitting on her arse doing nothing. She sighed.

What I need right now is to watch a movie, she thought. Movies were always a great way to forget your own problems. The thing was, all her DVDs were back on the TARDIS. She picked up the TV guide and scanned through it.

"Animal documentary … Elvis movie … cricket … ooo," she said. "The Swan Princess." She hadn't seen it since she was a kid. She hoped it was the same in this universe. She switched the TV on. The movie was just starting. And no one was around to spoil it. Perfect.

The Doctor had just defeated the hideous Blogatrogs in the year 207,517, and it had taken a lot out of him. It was getting a lot harder to do things without a companion. He knew he should probably get one, but he felt like by doing so he'd be betraying Rose. Besides, now he had an excuse to relax. He put his feet up and switched on the TV. A movie was just starting: The Swan Princess. He shrugged and started to watch it.

Oddette and Derek had been separated, and now they started singing. Rose had always found it funny as a little kid that they could both be singing the same song at the same time, despite the fact that they weren't even near each other. Now however, she stopped to listen to the lyrics, and found tears coming to her eyes.

Far longer than forever
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here with me
Although we're far apart

Both Rose and the Doctor thought of one thing as they listened to the words: each other. They knew they would never forget each other, no matter what. Just the thought of each other made them happy.

Far longer than forever
As constant as a star
I close my eyes and I am where you are

Rose did this now. She closed her eyes and thought of him. She thought of his smile, of him talking to her, comforting her. As she did, she felt a golden light surrounding her.

"Rose! I'm home!" said Jackie, entering the room with some shopping bags. She dropped them in shock as she looked at her daughter.

"Rose!" she cried. "What's happening?" But Rose couldn't hear her. All she could hear was the music.

Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
We've an unshakable bond
Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond

Rose began to fade. She looked like the Doctor did at first on Bad Wolf Bay. Jackie looked on in horror and astonishment. She tried to touch Rose, but her hand went straight through her.

Far longer than forever (Far longer than forever)
Like no love every known
And with your love I'll never be alone

"Rose! Where are you going?" she asked. Rose turned to her mother and smiled.

"I'm going home," she said. Jackie nodded in understanding, a single tear running own her face. And with that Rose was gone.

Far longer than forever (Far longer than forever)
Like no love every known
And with your love I'll never be alone

The Doctor looked up from the TV. He wiped his face to disguise the fact that he had been crying. But there in front of him was someone that he would gladly cry in front of. It was Rose.

"Rose!" he exclaimed. "But, how?" Rose motioned towards the TV.

"Oh my god," said the Doctor. Rose grinned and ran into the Doctor's arms. They hugged, making no noise. All that could be heard was the song on the TV.

Far longer than forever
Much stronger than forever
And with your love I'll never be alone

After some time hugging, the Doctor looked into Rose's eyes.

"How long are you going to stay with me?" he asked.

"Far longer than forever," Rose replied.

Never, never be alone
Never, never be alone
Far longer than forever

I don't usually like to boast about my fics, but I really like this one. It was originally just going to be a mourning one, but hey, things change. I MIGHT be doing a second chapter. In the meantime, review! And watch The Swan Princess if you haven't before. It's really good.
