Glad to see that there are people (or aliens, or whatever you may be) interested in this story! Thanks for the reviews!

A brief clarification: these one-shots should be able to stand on their own, but there will be a few that will go together, I will make those into parts (Part 1, Part 2, etc).

Also, if there is anything you guys would like to see, let me know! I'll take requests! Characters, settings, etc.


"Doctor, there's something else I need to tell you," Oswin said as she came back into the console room.

She had changed into a floral pattered dress that rested slightly above her knees, with black tights that led down to maroon trainers. All too familiar maroon trainers.

"What is it?" the Doctor asked, flipping a switch on the console, refusing to focus anymore on the fate of the girl standing behind him.

"Well," Oswin said, sitting down on the jump seat, "It's about my parents."

"And who might they be?"

"You."

The Doctor turned around. "What?"

"You and Rose Tyler."

The Doctor's eyes widened. "But... no! We never! It can't. You can't."

Oswin laughed, "No. Not you as in you. Well, yes you as in you, but your human self. The Meta-crisis Doctor? Remember him?"

The Doctor nodded.

"Remember how you gave him to Rose?"

"Are you saying that they..." he tailed off.

"Yeah. Pretty much. And here I am!" Oswin said happily, beaming up at the Doctor.

The Doctor stared blankly at her as the reality settled on him. Oswin was Rose Tyler's daughter. Rose Tyler and his human self.

"But how can you be here?" the Doctor asked, "You should be in the parallel world."

Oswin wrinkled her nose, "That place was boring. So I came here!

"But how?"

"Those cracks in time. They weren't just in your world, Doctor. They were everywhere. And I decided to see where one went. And wouldn't you know it? It took me to victorian London."

"You just stepped through the crack?"

"Yup."

"But you should have been erased from time."

"I was. Sorta. I mean, I don't exist in this world, do I? Never had a time stream, never technically will. I'm not supposed to exist here. But I do, because you decided to save the world at the same time as I stepped into the crack. Somehow the energy from the crack and whatever you were doing at the time made it so I came out in London, unharmed, and in the past."

"And you're here? Just like that?"

"Yup."

"But that doesn't make any sense."

"Sometimes the best things don't make sense," Oswin said cheekily. She got up and leaned against the TARDIS controls. "If it weren't for that crack, I'd never be here with you, about to travel the whole of time and space, just like my mom!" She grinned.

The Doctor shook his head. He couldn't believe what he had just been told. Oswin, the girl whose horrid fate he knew, was Rose Tyler's daughter. Rose and his human self. She had come into his world, only to be turned into a Dalek. And Rose would never know. Never know what happened to her daughter.

"She let me go," Oswin suddenly said, as though she had read the Doctor's mind, "I told her that I was going. Going to find you."

"You left to find me?" the Doctor asked.

"Yeah," Oswin replied, "Mum used to tell me about all the things she'd done with you. Back when you looked like my dad. Dad used to tell me about all the wonderful things he'd seen, well, you'd seen, your past self." She mused thoughtfully, "I bet you've seen even more wonders since then."

The Doctor laughed. "I sure have."

Oswin smiled. She pulled a lever on the TARDIS and it shot up into the sky, taking them into the vortex.

"How did you know how to do that?" the Doctor asked.

"You really think I wouldn't know a few things about this old ship?" Oswin replied, stroking the time rotor casing lovingly, "My dad is you, in a sense."

"Of course," the Doctor said.

He flipped a switch to his left and the TARDIS shook. Oswin quickly turned a nearby gear, stabilizing them.

"Distracted are we?" she asked as the Doctor realized he had flipped the wrong switch.

"Well wouldn't you be distracted if you were me?" the Doctor asked, going to sit in the jump seat.

"So I'm Rose Tyler and your human self's daughter," Oswin said passively, "No big deal. That doesn't change anything. We're still gonna go and see the stars, right?"

The Doctor jumped up from the jump seat and said, "Yes we are!" He looked at Oswin and smiled.

He was going to accept this girl. This strange echo of himself, the result of the love that Rose Tyler had for him, his past self. A love that brought Oswin here. Brought her to him when he most needed a friend, in a time when he had felt that all was lost.

The Doctor looked into Oswin's eyes, and for the first time he noticed that they were his. Those brown eyes of his tenth regeneration, and that eyebrow, cocked ever so slightly, just he used to. Oswin smiled and the Doctor could see the tip of her tongue poking out of her mouth, just like Rose's used to.

He had the sudden urge to hug her, and so he did. He grabbed her around the middle and spun her about, laughing like a madman. Oswin squealed and held onto him.

When he set her down they looked at each other for a bit, all smiles and then Oswin said, "I can see why mum liked you."

The Doctor grinned. Then he said, "Are you ready to see the stars?"

Oswin gave the Doctor a huge grin and said loudly, "Allons-y!"

The Doctor flipped the right switch on the console and yelled, "Geronimo!"
