Who's Rose Tyler? She's obviously not from your future, because I'd know of her, so she must be from your past." I heard River say, slight jealousy hinted in her voice. I ignored her and stood, walking over to Rose.

"Um, hello," I said to her when I got up to her. She looked at me like I was crazy, and I realized that she probably hadn't met me in the past yet, if she was still here. Of course, how could I be so stupid?

"My name is John. John Smith,"

"Hello, John. My name is Rose. Rose Tyler." She smiled with that smile that only Rose could manage. The smile that used to make my hearts stop for a second. Behind me, I felt River come over, and she took my arm.

"Sweetie, we really should get back to the table, we don't want the food to get cold," She said, gently pulling on him. River didn't seem the jealous type, but I could see why she would be in this situation. A girl from my past, that she doesn't know about. Little did she know that this girl from my past was Rose Tyler, the girl I fell in love with for two regenerations.

"Go ahead and finish your food then," Rose smiled and ran up to her mom. Ah, Jackie Tyler. Someone else that I could never forget, for different reasons. I saw Rose whispering something to her mom, and her mom looked over at me.

"Doctor, are you going to tell me who that is?" River asked as she pulled me back to the table.

"I didn't know that you were the jealous type, River," I said. She glared at me, and shook her head.

"When it comes to you, it seems I have no choice. You're always traveling with all these girls, and I'll bet you've kissed half of them," She said. That was true. I shouldn't be thinking about Rose like this anymore. I have River now. I'm married to River.

"I'm sorry, she's just a girl I used to travel with. Nothing important," I said, wishing that it was true, but finding that it wasn't. Rose was more than just a girl, but I still don't know why or how she was here. All I knew was that we would be seeing more of each other here.

"I'm ready to go back to the motel, Doctor," River said after she'd finished her food. I stood up, and walked out with her. We were holding hands when I noticed Rose off to the side with her mom again. She was watching me, I could feel her eyes on me.

"Your girlfriend is staring at you," River spoke up, and let go of my hand. She walked ahead of me, but I quickly caught up with her.

"River, you know that you're my only girl. Remember in the cab ride? I love you," I told her. That seemed to calm her down a bit, and she grabbed my hand again.

"And, I love you," She replied and kissed me quickly. I looked over at Rose, who was staring at me, as River had said. I gave her a quick, sad smile, and walked away with River. I hoped that wasn't the last time that I myself would see her. I know that she would be seeing more of me later. She would see me in my previous regeneration, where she would fall in love with me, and where we would be separated. She would have to go through that pain that I've already gone through, but I didn't want that for her. I wanted Rose Tyler to remain how I see her here. I want her to stay smiling. I don't want to see another tear fall from her face. I have to admit, I still have feelings for Rose Tyler, but I still love River.

"Doctor, what are you thinking about?" River asked, stopping me. That snapped me out of my thoughts, and I looked down at her expectant face.

"Oh, nothing," I muttered, shaking it off. I grabbed her hand and tried to get her to continue walking.

"If you're going to keep thinking about that girl, I will make you take me home," River threatened. I nodded to let her know that I understood that she was being completely serious.

"I won't think about Rose anymore, River. I promise. I said that this weekend was about us, so it will be about us. No one else. Now, can we go? I don't want people to start thinking that we're weirder than we actually are, just standing here in the middle of a restaurant," I said, pulling on her hand as people were beginning to stare at us. She nodded, apparently satisfied with my answer, and we walked out of the restaurant, hand in hand.

Rose's POV

"Who was that man that was just talking to you?" My mum asked, watching him as he walked out with the girl that he came with. I shrugged and looked at her.

"I'm not really sure. He said that his name was John," I replied.

"He was cute," She said. I nodded in agreement, and blushed when I realized that I admitted to my mom that I found someone who was clearly older than me, attractive. My mother looked at me, and I regretted saying that.

"Ohh, Rose has got a crush. You do know that he is too old for you, right?" She said, looking back at her food. I looked down at mine, and nodded.

"It was weird. He acted as if he'd known me or something, but I don't remember ever meeting him," I said, honestly. I really hoped to see him again sometime. Hopefully soon.
