Allons - y!
Rose and the Doctor, who was not the Doctor, watched as the TARDIS faded into nothingness and soon all that was left was a big square imprinted into the sand. A single tear trailed down Rose's already wet cheeks and she shook it away with a tilt of her head. He had left her again. She turned to the man standing next to her and took in his expression. He was staring quite angrily at the square in the sand. She squeezed his hand and so slow that it didn't look like he was moving at all, he turned to look at her. His head was the last thing to turn.
"What's wrong Doc-"she swallowed. He wasn't the Doctor, but she had to believe he was – for both their sakes "Doctor?"
"The git stole my time machine!" He growled bitterly. She dropped his hand as it he had burned her; did he not want to be with her? Would he prefer to be with Donna, or Martha or Sarah-Jane?
"You don't want to be here, do you?" she asked, looking down at the square blinking away fresh hot tears that were threatening to escape her eyes. It was more of a statement than a question, why would he want to be stuck here with her when he had the whole world at his feet?
"Oh no Rose, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. I know you don't beleive me but I am him, literally him. Just like regeneration, sort of." Rose kept her glare on the square, he was right; she didn't believe him "He loves you and so do I. He can remember everything and so can I. Everything since the word 'run'. The Gelth, The Krillitains, The wolf and Queen Victoria. Oh and don't forget the gas mask people – they still give me chills! Are you my mummy?" He shivered for effect and Rose smiled a small smile, still not satisfied. The Doctor frowned. "You still don't believe me do you?" Rose caught his eye for just a second and looked away again. If he was the Doctor she didn't want to hurt his feelings.
"It's just..." she didn't know what to say.
"What is it Rose? Tell me, please, how can I convince you? Because you are all I have in the whole universe, literally the only thing keeping me from going insane."
"I dunno. Its that stuff you were sayin' about before, all the stuff we did together, him and I. It just didn't sound really personal. Anyone could ask what we did; you could have read the old Torchwood files." The man in blue glanced down at the square-shaped dent in the sand and when he looked back up at the woman in front of him there was a determined look in his eye.
"When I brought you back to your mother after our first trips together you hid out on the roof after she slapped me."
"My mum could have told you that."
"When we first arrived in 1950 you were wearing a pink dress and heels and could speak the lingo!" he exclaimed. Rose looked on unimpressed with his knowledge but the Doctor wasn't going to give up easily.
"You're only phobia is spiders. I found this out when there was one on the console and you hit it with your shoe pressing the 'random destination' button and sending us to the planet Etern in 1803."
"You could have read the TARDIS logs and anyway 1in 3 people are scared of spiders!" Rose thought she saw a flash of Time Lord Anger in the Doctor's eyes and for a split second she almost thought that maybe he was the Doctor, almost.
"On the planet Krop-Tor" he spoke slowly, "on my way down to find the beast I didn't fall into the pit – I jumped."
"What?" Rose's head jerked up and she looked at him with a mixture of confusion and horror written on her face.
"And my last words to Ida were" he took a step closer to Rose, his warm breath fanning over her face and his fingers linking with hers. "If you talk to Rose – just tell her. Tell her I – Oh she knows." He brushed her cheek with their entwined hands "Do you know Rose? Hmm? Do you think I would leave you here with anything less than myself? I love you, Rose. Always have, always will, ever since 'Run'." Rose was quiet for a moment, pondering what the Doctor had said. "Ooh I have a good one!" he exclaimed suddenly pointing at her"You failed Hulabaloo!!"
"Is it you though, really? Are you really my Doctor?" Rose was fighting a grin and when she asked her voice was wavering slightly.
"Of course I'm really me. Well. With a bit of Donna thrown in! Brilliant! I've always wanted to be ginger and now I am! Well, figuratively speaking of course but same difference." He shrugged. Rose laughed shakily barely believing what she was hearing. "Oh and I forgot to tell you. I – the other me – gave myself this" he dropped one of Rose's hands and reached into his pocket.
He seemed to dig around for a moment or two, wincing slightly, but finally smiled a huge triumphant grin and pulled out a piece of- well Rose didn't know exactly what it was a piece of. "A chunk of TARDIS." He clarified. "We can grow our own and travel out to the farthest reaches of the Galaxy. And, being the amazingly talented person that I am and using my very unique and brilliant skills in shattering plasmic shells and modifying dimensional stabilisers it should only take – oh – 7 years? Give or take?"
"We can travel again?" Rose asked, daring to hope.
"Just like old times though this time it might not be a blue box but I'll take my chances." he joked and then became serious "Are you going to come with me then? All the way up and all the way out?" he asked finally.
Rose thought about everything the Doctor had just said. She knew that he was the same person, after that rant how could he not be. There would be things she would miss about her old life with the Doctor but now she knew that she was ready for an even bigger adventure with him, one that would last a life time. So as the Doctor looked her in the eye awaiting her response she finally smiled her proper smile, leaned up to his ear and said eight words, just eight.
"Is there any other way to go Daddy-o?"
