Hey! Okay, I hope I did the characterisation okay in this. It's the start of a run through each regeneration. In this it's 1, 4 and 7. I haven't seen many of the classics, only two episodes of 1 a few of 7 and thankfully a bunch of 4.

So, I hope I did alright. Enjoy!

His Past

.

.

Rose looked about at the fairly familiar setting. London. Definitely London. But what time? Judging by the technology, it was in the future, though it wasn't so advanced that it was the far future. Five hundred years at max. '2312,' the thought passed through her head.

Placing a hand to her racing heart, she took a deep relived breath. She wasn't sure what she was more shocked about. The way Time Lords (well, most of them) appeared to treat humans. Seeing such a young Doctor. Or being on Gallifrey.

Wow! She had been on Gallifrey! The full realisation of that sunk in and she gave a whoop of wondering laughter.

"But this looks like London!" She heard a woman exclaim behind her, she turned to see her. "But… we can't be! it's so different."

Rose looked at the small group just in front of her now. There were two women and two men. A man and woman who looked to be in their thirties, they were looking about in wonder a little confusion. The other was a girl with a dark boy cut; she looked no older than fifteen. And the last was an old man, who had his back to her. He wore an old style black suit and leant on a cane. His silver hair was fairly long and swept smoothly down to the base of his neck.

"Where are we now?" the younger man asked.

"London," the old man said simply. At his friends' looks he decided to clarify. "In 2312."

"Good Lord, that's nearly 350 years in the future!" he said.

"Ian, you have been to prehistoric times, and yet you are surprised by a few centuries in your future," the old man scoffed rudely. He gave a giggle and turned around. Now he was facing her. They both froze in shock. Those eyes… those blue eyes. "It can't be," he murmured, peering at her closely. He still looked utterly stunned.

"Doctor?" the older woman said in concern. Rose nearly choked. She had known the moment she saw his eyes. But to hear it be confirmed…

"Grandfather, do you know her?" the girl asked. Rose's head snapped to her and she blinked in surprise.

"Grandfather? She's your granddaughter?" she gasped. "I knew you had kids, but grandchildren?"

"You're that girl from Gallifrey," he said, sounding slightly dumbfounded. "You're the human that disappeared." Right, so this was still before he met her. That ruled out the possibility of him being in his eleventh, twelfth, or thirteenth incarnations.

"Human? What was she doing on Gallifrey?" the girl said in surprise.

"Not now, Susan," he waved her off rather distractedly. He looked at his companions that clearly told them to behave before he turned to her. "Excuse me, would you mind?" he gestured for her to go forward with him, and with a nod she walked a few quick steps just out of sight.

.

"Since you know a little about me, and you didn't protest until after the Master said my name, I believe that I am the friend you were looking for. Is that correct Miss…?"

"Erm…" Rose looked about a moment. She couldn't tell him her real name. She did look a little older than when he first met him, it wasn't much, but it left the slightest chance that he hadn't recognised her. She could think of no other reason, other than she may be rewriting time, that he hadn't recognised her when they first met… Either way, she couldn't give him her real name,that was too obvious. And the closest thing she had to an alias was 'Bad Wolf'. But she couldn't use that, because it was a sign, it shouldn't be used in the wrong place. "Loupa," she said after a moment's thought. "You can call me Loupa." The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Timelines, Doctor. I don't meet you till your… ninth incarnation. Either way, you didn't seem to recognise me."

"Most peculiar," he hummed. "Fine, I shall call you Loupa if you wish."

"Thanks… So, what incarnation are you on at the moment?"

"I am the first and original, my dear," he said sounding slightly haughty. "The same man you met so long ago."

"Try ten minutes ago," she laughed. "Travelling through time and space as you take a step. I feel like a walking TARDIS!"

The Doctor chuckled at her comparison. "Indeed. If you don't mind my asking, how are you able to do this?"

"I don't know," she told him. "I was hoping you could tell me… Well, tenth you, when I find him again."

"Didn't you say ninth?" Rose opened her mouth to answer, but didn't quite know how to say it gently. "Ah," he said, realising what her silence meant. "What moronic thing did I do in my old age to die for the ninth time?"

"Excuse me," she said indignantly. "I'd hardly call saving my life moronic!"

"I give my life for a human's?" He seemed genuinely surprised. "I can sense that you are special, but I never thought…"

"Oh please, I was just a normal human at that point," she scoffed. "Nothing special about me… Hmm, actually, that's a good point. When did I change enough to do this? I mean, I doubt it happened in a day. It would have had to build up over a few months at least."

"Ah, she's smart. Perhaps I can see why I would take another companion."

"Me, smart! I didn't even pass my A Levels. But two years in the TARDIS is better than 12 years of school."

"Quite. But don't worry about A Levels," he told her. "Grades are no indication of brains. I do believe I am proof of that."

"You're kidding me! You got bad grades! Oh, definitely less egotistical. My Doctor would have never admitted that."

"Your Doctor?" the Doctor raised his eyebrow in amusement.

"W-well, how else am I supposed to tell you apart in conversation? It'll just be confusing otherwise, if I call the both of you Doctor. And you don't even know who I am yet."

"Yes, I suppose that's right," he chuckled. "You are a most interesting woman, Loupa. I would have liked to study you further, but I should go back and make sure Ian and Barbra haven't gone anywhere. They tend to attract trouble."

"Don't we all," Rose said under her breath with a grin.

"I hope that you find me and get your answers."

"Goodbye, Doctor. I'll see you later," she smiled.

"I look forward to meeting you, Loupa," he smiled warmly. Then he turned and headed back to his companions.

?...DW…?

Rose was in 2312, London for three more days before she jumped. And what she saw made her gasp. It was the TARDIS, again. But it still wasn't her Doctor, she could tell. The TARDIS looked slightly different. It was strange, the last three jumps had all been the Doctor… albeit, a very young - age wise at least - Doctor. And she had felt some strange… almost a connection the first time the Doctor had touched her on Gallifrey.

Perhaps now she was locked on to him until she found the right him. She sure hoped so, because she wasn't having much luck before hand.

Looking around she appeared to be in a forest, just a normal one. Although, something seemed a little off about the air. Suddenly the TARDIS door swung open. She came face to face with a tall man with lots of curly dark hair, rather large teeth and a ridiculously long scarf. He looked at her in surprise for a moment before he broke out in a huge familiar grin.

"Loupa!" he cried joyously. "How marvellous to see you here! And I do mean that quite literally, it's a marvel, a great feat." Rose giggled as he gripped her by the shoulders and smiled widely at her. "Ooh, would you like a jelly baby?" he asked, letting her go and pulling a paper bag from his coat pocket.

"Oh, please," she said grabbing one. His smile widened even more if that was possible. She popped the sweet in her mouth and tried to savour it. She hadn't had anything sweet since she left the parallel earth, she couldn't afford to. As a matter of fact, she hadn't really had all that much to eat anyway.

At that moment two more people stepped from the TARDIS. One was a sweet looking woman with a heart shaped face and long blonde hair. The other was a boy who looked to be in his teens, his clothes were obviously not from earth, and had a silver star badge pinned onto his red pocket.

"Who's this?" the boy asked.

"Adric, this is Loupa, an old friend of mine. She pops by occasionally," said the Doctor.

"But I thought you said you were trapped in this… E-Space. How could she have gotten here?"

"Oh, because she's just extraordinary. Didn't I tell you she was amazing, Romana?" he said to the blonde woman. Romana smiled at him fondly and somewhat indulgently.

"Yes, you did," she replied. "It's lovely to meet you," she said to Rose. "Have you found your answers yet?"

"No, not yet. But the last three jumps I've made have led me straight to the Doctor. So I think I may be getting close," she smiled at the woman.

"Well, I would suggest that since the Doctor and I are trying to get back to Gallifrey, that we take you with us so they can help. But that is not the best idea. They don't take too kindly to humans… Don't even take kindly to their own kind…" she looked about, starting to look annoyed.

"Romana-" the Doctor said tiredly.

"I don't want to go back!" she snapped at him.

"You're a Time Lor- Lady?" she said in shock, but the tone was ruined when she questioned the term for a female.

"Yes," she replied. "That seems to surprise you."

"I've just never met a Time Lady before," she said honestly. "Didn't know he'd travelled with other Time Lords either."

"Just Romana and Susan," he told her. She noticed the pain that flashed through his eyes at the mention of his granddaughter.

"Hmm, you said that you'd only been able to travel to the Doctor for the last three… 'jumps' have you been calling them?" Romana asked, sticking to the topic.

"Yeah, before that it was difficult to even get near him. I kept missing him, no matter how hard I thought. It's somewhat controlled by what I think… well, my destination is, I have no idea how to control the when."

"Perhaps you somehow made a connection or link with him. Have you noticed anything odd?"

"You mean other than the fact that a few months ago I started travelling through time and space by myself?" she said sarcastically. "Well, there was one moment… Doctor, did you notice anything the very first time you met me? The moment you touched me?"

The Doctor paused in thought a moment, then his eyes went wide. "Y-yes. Yes, there was a small moment where…" he stuttered. He trailed of and just stared at her intently, his head to the side slightly. She stared right back and she could see the curiosity, confusion, surprise and… affection and softness in his eyes.

"You going to tell me what it was?" she asked him. If he was staring at her like that, then it must mean something.

"Err, later. Yes, I'll explain it later, my dear."

"Doctor-"

"It's not a common occurrence," he cut her off. "It barely ever happens between two Time Lords, let alone a Human and a Time Lord. I'll tell you what it is when I figure it out." She could see that he was lying about the last part, he already knew.

"You mean, you'll tell me later when I find the right you?" she said. He looked at her in surprise for a moment and smiled. No one else knew him better.

"Quite right." His grin left his face when he saw her grimace at those words.

"Sorry, not my favourite two words," she smiled weakly.

"Doctor, we really should be finding our way back to N-Space," Romana said after a moment of silence.

"You'll have to tell me about this one later," Rose smiled. The Doctor grinned at her. He opened his arms and stepped towards her, Rose stepped forward too. But when he went to embrace her, she wasn't there.

?...DW…?

"Aw, that's not fair!" Rose cried when she found herself somewhere new. She was met by a surprised looking blonde girl in a leather jacket holding something that looked like a canister of deodorant in the air.

"How the hell did you do that?" she asked holding the canister in her hand like a weapon.

"Erm… I just do…?" It came out as a question.

"And what kind of alien are you?"

"I'm human," she replied calmly. She didn't know what was in the girl's hand, but it was obvious that it could damage. No one would be silly enough to threaten with something that looked that pathetic if it weren't dangerous.

"Sure you are. Professor!" she turned her head and shouted.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," came a voice. Rose saw a short, older man walk around the corner. His clothes were a little strange as he seemed to have a thing for question marks. She knew who he was instantly, as he did her. "Good heavens, Ace! Put that Nitro-9 down! You know I don't like explosives and this is my good friend Loupa! So, where have you just come from?"

"You, actually," she replied. "Tall, curly hair, scarf…"

"Ah, yes," he seemed to perk up a little more, bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet. "My fourth incarnation. So you aren't just going through in order. I'm on seven at the moment. Have you met any others yet?"

"I'm going to meet more?" she said in surprise.

"I'll take that as a no," he sighed. "And yes, you will. So I'll apologise in advance. I was a bit rude in my sixth incarnation."

"I'm used to it," she laughed, thinking of her tenth Doctor.

"I can imagine," he laughed. "First incarnation was a little grumpy too."

"Really, I thought you were quite sweet back then," she told him. The Doctor looked away, smiling shyly. That was when he noticed the girl was still holding the canister. She wasn't holding it like a weapon anymore, it was just hanging limply at her side as she watched on, baffled.

"Ace, I told you to put that Nitro-9 down!" he snapped. Warily, keeping her eyes on Rose, Ace place the canister on the ground.

"What's Nitro-9?" she asked.

"It's my own invention," Ace replied. "Nitrogen, with just a little more kick to it."

"Ace is has quite a gift for explosives," the Doctor said, a hint of bitterness in his voice. It was obvious he liked explosives as much as he liked guns.

"Oi, you! Quit complaining," Ace said to him. "Even you've used it to get us out of a few good scraps."

The Doctor muttered incoherently for a moment before thinking of a distraction. "Ah! Loupa, I have something of yours. Just a tick." And then he moved off, leaving the two girls standing there.

"Seriously, who are you?" Ace asked her. "I've never seen the Doctor act like that. He's always been calm and collected. I've never seen him this… bouncy."

Rose laughed. "I'm Ro- Loupa. I'm an old friend of his… or friend-to-be depending which way you look at it."

"You nearly said something else," the girl observed.

"Loupa's not my real name. I can't tell him what it is until he actually knows me. I'm from his future- even though I keep ending up meeting his previous selves - I don't want to upset the timelines too much."

"I see," the girl finally smiled. "Ace isn't my real name either. But he knows that. My real name is completely naff!"

"Really? What is it…? If you don't mind telling me."

"Just… promise not to laugh?"

"I've met an alien called Karakayka-laroo… I've had my share of weird names," she told the girl… She looked younger than Rose expected. Sixteen really. That was younger than she had been.

"Alright," Ace said nervously. "It's… its Dorothy."

Despite what she had said, Rose couldn't help but giggle. "Dorothy? That's not so bad… Although, it does make me picture a poofy blue dress and ruby slippers."

"Ugh, see!" Ace moaned.

"Don't worry, I like it. Ace is pretty cool too. Little 80's though, don't you think?"

"Err… it is the 80's," Ace laughed. "1987."

"Huh…" Rose mused. "I'm one right now… linear time… Means my dad's already dead though…Ooh and mum would have gotten that job at that little hairdresser's on the corner."

"Here we are," the Doctor's voice surprised her as he came back. He held up a key on a frayed TARDIS blue ribbon. Rose automatically raised a hand to her neck, but still felt the key were it rested against her breast.

"But I…"

"You dropped it last time I saw you. I have no idea where that is in your timeline, but I thought you might like to have it back," he gave her a smile. "Curious, I've never given anyone a TARDIS key before…"

"I was afraid you wouldn't come back," she muttered as she took it back from him and slipped it in her pocket. At this the Doctor frowned.

"Why would I do that?" he asked in bewilderment. "Anyone would be mad to leave you behind!"

"Really?" she asked, slightly surprised at the bold statement.

"Yes… in fact, if I ever do that in the future, you have my full permission to kick my butt."

"Hmm… does that count sending me away?"

The Doctor looked appalled, as if he couldn't comprehend why someone would do such a thing. "Yes, especially then!" Rose laughed. Oh, he was setting himself up big time!

"Well then, you better make sure you don't do either of-" She didn't realise until it was too late that she had subconsciously taken a step. And before she could help it - not that she could anyway - she was gone.

Okay, so if you know more about the classics than I do, I would love it if you could review this and correct anything I may have gotten wrong, whether it's personality or mannerisms or speech. I'll have to watch a little more of three before I move onto the next chapter.

I wanted to make 7 sound a little more familiar with her. He's curious about her… not in love, but he does care for her deeply, because so far she is the one thing in his life (other than the TARDIS and the Master) that keeps coming back. But of course, unlike the Master, she's there for him.

I don't know how long the next two chapters will take, but I've already written all of chapters 6 and 7. A little of 8. Half of 9. And all of 11. Yes I'm that far ahead. Keep checking just in case anyway =D
