Hi again, this is the last chapter of this story and it deals with Mickey's point of view.
My nam e is Mickey Smith and this is the story of how I died.
I lived in London for 23 years, I was raised by my grandmother, cause my parents both left. I grew up with this girl, her name was Rose Tyler, she was four years younger than me, when she entered high school we started dating, until she was 16 that is, cause she started going out with another guy called Jimmy Stones, that ended badly. After that we started dating again until she was 19.
Then he came along. Rose was almost killed when the shop that she worked in was blown up, the next day she turned up at my flat to use my laptop, she searched the internet for information about this man that had saved her from dying in her shop and from being killed by a plastic arm in her own flat. She found this website about the Doctor and went to the guy's house. I don't know what happened next, all I know is that the next time I saw Rose she was with an older man wearing a leather jacket, a jumper and a pair of black trousers. They saved the world, well Rose did and they saved me, that's when I discovered the Tardis, I was terrified. When he got us away the Doctor dropped us off in an alley way and asked Rose to travel with him, she said no cause she had to look after me, but he came back and asked her a second time and she said yes and went off with that alien, that thing and we didn't see her again for a whole year.
Then I was accused of murdering Rose by Jackie, as I was the last person to have seen her, but I couldn't exactly tell the police that she went off travelling through time and space with an alien, could I?
But then she came back, and for her it was as if nothing had happened, that no time had passed. Then the second invasion began, well at the time we thought that it was a crash landing and then we discovered that the aliens didn't want to invade Earth, they wanted to blow it up and sell it. The Doctor told me to send a missile at 10 Downing street and blow it up, I thought that Rose would die, but I did it anyway, that was the first time that I helped the Doctor save the world, thankfully Rose survived, then she went off with him again.
Then came Cardiff, Rose asked me to meet her there with her passport, why she needed it I don't know, but I took her it anyway, that was when I met Captain Jack Harkness, and discovered that my relationship with Rose was nothing but friendship from then on. I helped them save Cardiff from the Slitheen that had been in Downing Street, then said Slitheen opened the rift and Rose left me to go and make sure that the Doctor was alright, that same day I discovered that the Doctor would always come first for Rose and everyone else came second, so after everything died down, I left.
Then one day, Rose came back in the Tardis on her own, no Doctor, no Captain Jack flash, she couldn't stay on Earth, even though the Doctor sent her back to keep her safe. So she got me to try to open what she called the heart of the Tardis with my mini, but it didn't work and then Jackie came with a great big yellow truck and I managed to open it with that, Rose stayed in the Tardis and never even thanked Jackie and I and the doors shut and the Tardis left London and went back to the Doctor.
The came Christmas, Rose came back again without the Doctor, or so I thought the man that had exited the Tardis before her was the Doctor with a different face. I didn't believe that he was the Doctor, cause he slept through most of an alien invasion and almost left it to Rose to save the world, but he stepped in at the end and saved the world by sword fighting the leader of the invading aliens after ranting about what kind of man he was and getting a third of the world's population off of the roofs and then I realised that Rose was right, this really was the Doctor, then he went and changed his clothes and came back to the flat for Christmas dinner wearing a brown pinstriped suit and a pair of converse trainers with a long brown trench coat over his suit. Then we went outside and Rose was asked to go with him again, well sort of, he thought that cause he changed she might not want to go with him again, but she told him that she did, I realised then that Rose was never gonna stay. Jackie and I went back inside and the two of them stayed outside, I have no idea what they were doing, but I think that they were probably talking about the Doctor's change, or regeneration as he called what happened to him.
Then I called them back to investigate a school, that was when I realised that there was something more between the Doctor and Rose than I thought that there was. That was also the day that I discovered that the Doctor was just like any other bloke cause that was the day that Rose and I met Sarah Jane Smith, a former companion of the Doctor's. She and Rose had a quiet conversation and obviously, Rose told her something and then said "Don't tell Mickey" I still don't know what that was. They asked Sarah Jane to travel with them when they had stopped the Krillitanes from doing whatever it was that they were trying to do to the children, but she refused and I asked if I could go with them, cause I was ready now and the Doctor said yes and Rose looked less than amused, like she didn't want me there.
I got a space ship on my first go, the Doctor saved Madame du Pompardore and then we left, the Doctor was upset about something, so I made Rose show me around the Tardis to give him time, she showed me where all the important rooms were and then she went back to the Doctor, when I found them in the control room later they were sitting on the captains chair reminissing about their adventures together and he told me to hold down a button a forgot to tell me to stop.
That was when we ended up in the parallel universe and fought the Cybermen for the first time, after we defeated them, I decided to stay there to replace my counterpart there cause he'd died trying to save that Earth from Lumic and his Cybermen. I told the Doctor and Rose after returning the Doctor's suit and coat. After a tearful goodbye from Rose i went off with Jake to stop the Cybermen taking over the rest of the world.
Then came TORCHWOOD and the ghosts that weren't really ghosts, all I know is that when we arrived in my old universe's TORCHWOOD is that Rose and the Doctor were there and so was Jackie to my surprise, I tripped and caused the Daleks to escape from the Time Lord prison ship that they were in.
Then came the war between us and the Daleks and the Cybermen, the Doctor had a way out, but that would mean that he would need to give up Rose, something I could see that he was very reluctant to do, but he did it anyway. He sent Rose and Jackie back to my universe but I know how stubbourn Rose is, it's one thing that she inherited from her mother, but I think that the Doctor forgot, but a few seconds after we arrived in my world Rose went back to the Doctor, just like I knew that she would. A few minutes later Jackie tried to go back, but Pete took the world hopper from her and then the void closed. I helped Pete and Jake take the sobbing woman away from the void room and back to Pete's mansion
Then came Jackie and Pete's vow renewal, well it was actually their wedding, but everyone thought that it was a vow renewal and then a few months later they told me that Jackie was pregnant. Everything was good, but Rose's absense was very accute.
Then came the dream, one night Jackie told Pete, Jake and I about a dream that she had had, she dreamt that Rose was calling her, and cause we had met the Doctor and knew what he could do, Pete, Jake and I packed up the jeep and the four of us went to Norway following the voice just like the dream said.
I stood by the jeep with Jake and Pete and watched as Jackie walked along the beach and stopped infront of Rose and the two of them spoke, I didn't hear anything that they were saying until Jackie shouted "Doctor" I wonder what he did this time, the poor man, alien or whatever was always getting the brunt of Jackie's temper, I saw him standing behind Rose and he spoke to Jackie, I don't know what he said. Eventually, they called me over and I almost ran to them, when I reached them, I reached out to touch Rose, but she held up a hand and said "Sorry, no touch" so I dropped my hand and then I noticed the way that the Doctor was holding Rose and I'll admit that I was jealous, but I didn't say anything about that. "It's fine" I found myself saying "It's always been you and him and it always will be"
"We're married, Mickey and I'm pregnant" Rose said, I was shocked, somehow I never thought that the Doctor would ever do domestic, but here he was saying goodbye to us and about to start a family with Rose. I was speechless and all I could do to let them know that I was happy for them was smile at them.
Suddenly Rose and the Doctor began to disappear and Rose said "I love you mum and you too Mickey. Tell dad that I love him and tell Jake thank you" then she turned herself away and hid her face in her husbands chest and I actually smiled through the tears that were falling after saying goodbye to my best friend for the last time, when I saw the Doctor tighten his hold on Rose even more when she began to cry, then they were gone and I turned to Jackie who was crying, I put my arms around the woman who had become like a mother to me over the years and held her until she stopped crying for a few seconds and passed her to Pete, who held his crying wife for a long time. I stared at the spot that Rose had been standing on moments before and decided there and then to start a fresh.
A few months later Jackie and Pete had a baby boy whom they called Tony and a few years after that I was married to a woman called Martha Jones and a year later we had a beautiful baby girl, whom we called Rose, in memory of my best friend.
Although I am dead in the universe in which I was born, I'm so alive here. I know that one day I will see Rose again, as Jackie always says these days, never say never ever, cause where the Doctor's involved, there's no such thing as impossible.
And that is this story complete, I don't know what you would describe this story as, is it a one shot in two parts or is it just a short story? either way, it's complete now, and I can't believe that I've written this, as I normally don't write angst, but this was screaming out to be written, so now I'm gonna update one of my other stories.
