A/N: As usual, I don't own anything and don't make any profits in the production of this fiction piece.

I am starting to doubt myself with this story, but that doesn't mean I won't stop but I don't know how good the story is. It won't be as action packed like other incredible stories I have read, it is different because the way it incorporates different situations that Rose has to face. This story is a tribute to Elisabeth Sladen and will heavily involve Sarah Jane Smith. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review to tell me what you think. To my reviewers:

MaryMatthesen: I hope you enjoy this chapter and will remain hooked. Thanks!

Dreamcatcher49: Yes, Rose definitely got hit. It's all part of my master plan. Thank you for reviewing!

Pilcrow: I am so glad you think this is wonderful, it is wonderful in my head but I was worried that it wasn't as good on 'paper'. I hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for reviewing!

TwiCloiser89: I am glad you are on the edge, it was the reaction I was hoping for and I hope you are glad for another update.

RosePearl: Your review made me so happy, because I recieved it later then the others and I thought that was it. So it was a nice little surprise! I know how this is going to pan out and yes, it is horrible of me to not allow them to meet again before she died but...its all part of my plot. Yes, Jack knew that was going to happen, it will be explained in time. Thanks for reviewing!

"Some Things are Worth Getting Your Heart Broken For"

Resurrection

She groaned as she woke up from her terrifying nightmare. She wasn't quite ready to open her eyes but could tell that it was sometime during the day due to the invading light through her eyelids. She snuggled down further into her blankets, noting how despite the comfort offered by the quilt, that they weren't familiar to her. She came to the realization that she was no longer in her universe with the Doctor, where she was raised on a council's estate by her mother. She was trapped in a parallel universe; her nightmare was her reality, where she felt alien to the people and her surroundings. Even her mother didn't act the way she used to, she was living a life of luxury and had another child who Rose felt like, had replaced her with. She didn't know if that feeling was genuine but that was how she felt. It probably didn't help that Rose was forced to return to school due to laws stating that children had to attend compulsory education until the age of 21 years of age and her fake birth certificate listed her as only just turned 20 when she arrived in the universe. It most certainly didn't help when her mother shipped her off to boarding school across the world in Australia, when her daughter had wholeheartedly selected the Doctor over her, the woman who had carried her, given birth to and raised, her own flesh and blood.

Rose had remained estranged from her family ever since, her mother stubborn enough to ignore her, while Pete, Jake and Mickey attempted to get her to come home. But she never did. Because she knew they would never understand her. How she feels as if the world moves in the opposite direction and that she doesn't feel any connection to this world as her own. She clearly didn't belong in this universe.

Rose had to move every couple of years, where she would settle in one place, in one high school completing the last two years of school, then move on to the next. She had done this ten times since she had been trapped in this universe. According to the original birth certificate she received coming to this universe, she was 40 years old, in reality she was 39 years old give or take a few months due to traveling with the Doctor and him miscalculating 12 hours for 12 months, yet she didn't look a day older than 19.

Pete was the only person who knew where Rose was as he willingly paid her board and tuition fees but never gave away her location or revealed this fact to anyone else. This new boarding school she was at, located in the state of Washington of the United States of America, was her new temporary home. This is where she was when the stars started to go out and the Daleks came.

Rose shot out of bed, suddenly aware that she was not in a familiar room, that this room was not the room she shared with her boarder 'sisters'.

"Relax. I won't hurt you, although I don't know what did." A calm and familiar voice came from the doorway of the room.

"Sarah Jane." Rose whispered in shock, wondering how she ended up in where she believed to be, was Sarah Jane's bed. She shouldn't be alive, but she had suspected that she couldn't die due to her non-existent aging. She had never had the determination to see if she was immortal and now she had a definite answer for herself. Her newfound immortality didn't explain how she landed herself in Sarah Jane's bed, since she was nowhere near her or Ealing at the time, she figured the safest place to take her corpse would be to the TARDIS infirmary…or morgue, she added as an afterthought which made her shudder.

"Funny, how you know me, and I only know about you. I haven't officially met you yet." She said, coming further into the room, holding up a bulky looking envelope. "I haven't opened it yet, but it has instructions on the front explaining who you are."

"What year is it?" An odd question to an average person, but to these two former companions of the beloved Doctor, the question was most often as essential to gather their knowledge on their location and place in time.

"2006, I suspect we must meet in the future." Rose was going to speak in agreement when she was overcome by unbearable fatigue and fell onto the bed. Sarah Jane stunned, found herself unable to help the weak female by her side. "It's true." She spoke so quietly that Rose barely heard her, Rose looked at the older woman in confused and tired eyes as the older woman held the envelope up to read the instructions once again. "These instructions here have been written by me. An older version of myself." She clarified. "It reads: 'This is to be found in the back pockets of Rose Tyler's jeans. She has been seriously and fatally injured in my time, only to be saved by the Bad Wolf's keen eye for the future and a precise hit to her Dimension Jumper, enabling the time travel from my time to yours. The Bad Wolf, which will be explained later within this envelope, has healed Rose but her energy stores will be seriously depleted due to the great amount of energy required to fix her injuries. As a result, she will need deep sleep to continue the healing process on her body, which means she needs to spend minimal time on her feet or sitting up for at least the next day. SJS'"

As soon as Sarah Jane had read the signature at the end of the letter, Rose had already passed out again on the bed. She looked down at the young woman, speculating at what information could be in this envelope and how it was going to change her life, as it had already done so to her future self. Sighing in resignation, she left a note for Rose detailing the essential information she needed to know in case she were to wake up when she was gone, and left to investigate Deffrey Vale School for her latest article.

Doctor Who

Sarah Jane had opened the front door to her apartment, making a rash decision to return to the school at dark to investigate further. Her decision had meant that she only had a short period of time to check up on Rose before having to leave again. She inspected the state of the house, as she placed her bag down on the table, noticing that the house looked as if it hadn't been lived in through the day despite her current visitor being here the whole time. She made her way to the bedroom, the place she had last seen Rose and found her in the exact same position she had been in, when she left early this morning. Through the duration of the day, Rose had ceased to move apart from the rhythmic movement of her chest as she breathed in and out. Drawing the blinds and switching on a light (in case, Rose did wake when she was gone) Sarah Jane exited the room, shutting the door softly behind her. She eyed the envelope that she had placed on top of her dining table before leaving this morning and briefly debated with herself whether or not she had time to open it.

Slipping her finger under the seal, she ripped the envelope open to reveal a series of several sealed envelopes within. She pulled them all out and learnt that the twelve envelopes within, had peculiar words written on them with a number, by which they were apparently numbered in order. She picked up the one numbered number one, which had the words Deffrey Vale School written on it. Upon opening this envelope, she realised that this letter that lay within, was a mixture between a diary entry and a warning letter.

Today, you met Rose Tyler. She is an extraordinary girl who travelled with the Doctor.

She gasped, the Doctor. A name she dared not to think of in the past years because the pain of him, practically leaving her behind, hurt too much. Even after all these years, the pain felt as fresh as the fateful day itself. It certainly accounted for why Rose asked for the year and had a dimension hop device, although at first Sarah Jane suspected that she was just a human from further abroad and hadn't allowed her to think that she was a replacement for herself.

You also met Rose Tyler for a second time today, at Deffrey Val e School. This past body of Rose Tyler is currently travelling with the Doctor.

Mr Smith. He had to be the Doctor, she reasoned. It would justify his slightly weird reaction to her this morning, and he had only been there since this morning. Definitely something the Doctor would do. She had faced the Doctor and he hadn't even confessed his true identity to her, this thought broke Sarah Jane's heart again, but her rational side reasoned that he probably didn't want to reveal himself only to leave her again like last time. That ignorance was bliss. She wiped the lone tear rolling down her cheek away and continued reading the letter.

Your Rose Tyler has been separated from the Doctor for twenty years, although she looks like a girl in her late teens. This puzzling information can be explained by the Bad Wolf, which Rose can explain to you when you have time to hear the full story. You need to leave soon to return to the school. Rose is like you, she travelled with the Doctor and was untimely taken away from him. She then managed to find a way back, only to be struck down by a Dalek; a fortunate strike to her Dimension Cannon sent her back in time to complete the next part of her life with you.

She was having mixed feelings in response to this letter and knew that she couldn't get herself worked up about it now, since she had to go out in a matter of minutes to get back to the school. There was one word that stood out from the rest that had stirred fear in her heart. Dalek. Rose had been shot by a Dalek.

You don't know Rose yet, and Rose barely knows you but you both need each other. Rose is from your time, thus the other version of herself who has grown up in London in recent years is still technically living there. As a consequence there will be two Rose Tyler's at the same time. You must prevent them from meeting. Rose will know of her other self and will know to stay away, but temptation is great. Therefore, she needs a place to live.

The letter abruptly ended. Sarah Jane simply stared at the last sentence. Her older self had basically implied that she had to take Rose in; she wrote it in a manner that it didn't look like a suggestion. But it was, Sarah Jane knew herself and she could gather from the word choice that she used, that she had taken in Rose, and now it was time to do so in her time and complete the paradox.

She barely knew the girl.

She had no choice.

She heard the door creak open, and Sarah Jane straightened herself as she saw Rose standing weakly, supporting herself on the door frame. She inspected Rose and had noticed that she did look healthier from before, though she did still have bags under her eyes which indicated that more sleep was needed to help her along her recovery.

"Take K9." She spoke. Sarah Jane registered her words and thought back to when her robotic dog was functional and useful in these types of situations. Now, he sat in the closet away from prying eyes, broken.

"He's broken." She answered and was about to continue, when Rose interrupted her and repeated herself from before. The girl was indicating something to her, there was truth in her eyes, and after all she was from the future and had already been through this adventure. Sarah Jane nodded in response, agreeing to take the broken K9, wondering what was really terrorising the school that called for a Timelord and a broken robotic dog to investigate its cause. She stood up and picked up the letter that she had carelessly let drop to the floor up and folded about to put it back in her pocket when her eyes caught on two lone words.

Take K9.

She smiled, after all these years; she was still fascinated by the miracles of time travel. She gathered the envelopes and put them back into the main envelope before placing it back in her pocket. Noticing that Rose had already succumbed to exhaustion once again against the doorway, and ignoring a slight twinge of worry as she hadn't seen the girl eat anything at all. She looked at the time, realising that she had planned to leave over a quarter of an hour ago, and quickly readied herself for the night ahead.
