Chapter One: Meeting
The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams ran through the TARDIS doors and slammed them behind them.
"Peaceful planet you said doctor! No alien invasion you promised!" shouted Amy as the doctor began quickly piloting the TARDIS away as daleks bashed it about shouting EXTERMIATE THE DOCTOR.
"Well I'm sorry Ponds but I just got the co-ordinates a tiny bit off. Hey at least we stopped the Daleks from invading that planet!" shouted The Doctor as the TARDIS flew away.
"Well maybe a bit of warning next time, we were dressed for the planet that never had bad weather" said Rory as he gestured to his and Amy's summer clothes.
"Well sorry, let's let the TARDIS decide where we go this time then!"
The Doctor quickly set the controls to random and the TARDIS began to bump and shake around
"Hold on to your hats, this could get very bumpy."
In another universe, on a beach a blonde girl sat by the shore, letting the waves brush over her. He sighed and remembered the last time she had been on this beach, on the worst day of her life. That had been a few years ago yes, but she still was not over it. Being left behind, knowing there was nothing anyone could ever do about it.
She didn't know why she came to the beach that day. Something had just drawn her there and she hopped onto the first flight to Norway she could. She just told her mother, father and best friend Mickey Smith she was investigating something for work. Which in a way she was, her work had been taken over by ways to get her back to her own universe, even though none of it had worked yet and she went to bed every night, dreaming of that sound. That magical sound of the TARDIS, so realistic in her memory it felt like she could actually hear it. Or wait... could she? Yes she could hear the TARDIS's matrix. Oh this better not just be a cruel joke from my imagination she thought as she got to her feet and did the thing she did best. She ran.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory quickly bounded out of the TARDIS that was quickly filling with smoke.
"EXTRACTOR FANS ON" The Doctor shouted, "I'd like to know where in god's name are we and why it was so difficult to land the TARDIS here?"
The Doctor looked around his whereabouts, no it couldn't be. Or could it?
"Doctor I don't understand, where exactly are we?" Rory asked.
"Bad wolf bay, this is bad wolf bay! We're in the other universe, which means... she's here? But where? We're in the middle of flipping Norway and as far as I'm aware she lives in London."
Amy and Rory were just giving each other confused looks at what The Doctor was babbling on about now. Amy peered into the distance.
"Doctor?" she asked "is that, a girl down there?"
The Doctor and Rory peered down too, following Amy's gaze. The girl was running towards them, her blonde hair blowing behind her. Before he could stop himself The Doctor was now running too. He was running faster, and with more purpose than he ever had run in his life. And he was running towards the girl.
"What is he doing?" asked Amy. Rory just shrugged and they watched as The Doctor and Rose Tyler ran towards each other and then stopped, barely centimetres apart, but non-touching.
"You came back." She said
"Well, the TARDIS helped"
"you've changed again"
"I'm still me"
"I know"
"Good."
"How did it happen?"
"How did what happen?"
"How did you die?"
"Radiation had to save the world again"
"were you alone?"
"Yes."
"Are you alone now?"
"No, I've got the Ponds," he gestured over to Rory and Amy, who were standing very confusedly by the TARDIS "they're nice, a cute couple. Nothing on you though"
Rose laughed quietly "I guess, you've moved on then. Don't need boring old Rose Tyler anymore." She smiled sadly
"Rose, don't you ever think that. I haven't seen you in five years yet I still see you every time I close my eyes."
"Really?"
"Really. Even though my face has changed, the way I feel about you hasn't."
"Prove it."
"How?"
"Last time we stood on this beach on the worst day of my life, what was the last thing you said to me?"
The Doctor swallowed
"I said Rose Tyler"
"And how was that sentence going to end?"
"Does it need saying?"
"I think it does"
The Doctor leaned close to her and still, without touching her whispered into her ear "Rose Tyler, I love you" Rose could feel his breath and his words as they trickled down her neck. This was all she needed. She could barely whisper the words quite right too as she kissed him with everything she had. And he kissed her too, then golden light fell around them and she collapsed into his arms.
