4. Chapter 1: Jennie's Life In The Tardis

The New Rose

Chapter 1: Jennie's life in the Tardis

Setting: Jennie's time on the Tardis. She finds a mysterious room hidden away by the Tardis and then she meets a mysterious angelic like creature who cried s out to Jenny for help. She considers alerting the Doctor, but he's become so driven by rage and revenge for losing Rose, that she was sure that he wouldn't care. So, will it be left up to Jennie to save the day, or will she have help?!

-- This is the first real chapter of the story; I decided to start it with something about Jenny, to let you guess what is going on.  The next chapter is about the Torchwood Team receiving an alert and then the chapter after that will be about what is happening to Rose on the parallel Earth. Rose's actions are the main part of the story and they are the reason for what happens with the Doctor and the real Torchwood team. So I thought I should set the scene a bit and talk about what has been going with the others and then reveal everything with the chapters about Rose and what is happening with her, that way this story should make more sense, lol.

-A-

It wasn't for another year of travelling with the Doctor- how many years was that now, she had lost count- that she came across a secret room, it was hidden away and she had never noticed it before. She opened the door, which had become quite stiff from the lack of it being used. As she stepped over the threshold she heard whispers of the Tardis in her head again, urging her to go on and that she had discovered something important. Jenny went along a short corridor that led from the door and she entered a large room.

And what a room it was, it was so beautiful, it was filled with things too, they looked like they hadn't been touched in years and a think layer of dust was over everything which made it seem like the room was neglected. She looked around the room in awe. It was a very light shade of pink with elegant gold borders, it seemed to have been designed for a woman and as she looked round more it became quite clear to her, this was Rose's old room on the Tardis, it had to be. The carpet was very soft and it was a pale gold colour that matched the room perfectly, above her the ceiling was also a pale pink colour just like the walls were. The room was very big and it was lit by pretty lamps in the shapes of flowers that hung on the walls.

There was a huge double bed in the far right corner of the room, it also matched the room, with a frame made of elegant gold twisting metal patterns. The mattress was huge and thick, and it looked very comfortable, a soft duvet and two plump pillows were set out neatly on the bed as if I had just been made, and they were covered in beautiful lilac sheets with a pattern of butterflies on them, and on the sheets were several warn stuffed animals, laid out gently in a pile near the pillow nearest the wall. Jenny had unconsciously walked over to the bed and had touched it as if it was magical, the whole room felt mystical to her, as if from a fairytale, the room of a much adored princess.

When she had finally stopped staring at the room in awe, she started to notice what else was in it. Hand drawn sketched and beautiful painted pictures hung on the walls, she went over to one that was of the Doctor smiling and hanging out of the Tardis door, it was set in a field which looked over a huge white building in the distance that had a hospital sign on it, as she looked closer at the picture she noticed an artists signature in a corner, she gasped slightly at the name, it said in elegant black ink letters, ... Rose. Jenny didn't know that Rose had been a good artist, and now she found that just by being in this room she was learning so much about Rose and who she really was.

She turned and had a good luck at the rest of the room, next to the bed was a small stand and on it was an old style, pink and white alarm clock with an IPOD in it, she had seen these before and she picket it up off its stand on the alarm clock to examine it more closely, it was dark red with a purple pattern on it, she flicked through the music on it, there was a lot of different music on it, ranging from pop and rock to country and rap. She was beginning to understand who Rose was even more now, the more she looked around the room at Rose's stuff the more Jennie seemed to get to know her, even if she could never meet her, it felt nice to know more about the woman that the Doctor loves so much.

Next to the alarm clock was picture in a pretty gold frame; it was a photograph of several happy looking people with their arms around each other, she turned the picture over and saw words written on the back, It said, Mickey, Jack, Rose and the Doctor. Jenny looked back at the picture again and saw who was who, the Doctor in this picture was the regeneration before the Doctor now, they all looked very happy and Rose's, long, multicoloured scarf flowed around their necks and pulled them all together for the picture.

She put the picture back down and went back to observing the rest of the room again, she noticed that opposite the bed was a tall wardrobe and a chest of draws, on the chest of draws were two more photographs in the same style golden frames. She turned the first one over to see what was written on the back of the photograph, It told her that the two people in this photograph who were hugging each other, were Rose at the age of eleven and Rose's mother, Jackie, also scribbled on the back in surprisingly neat handwriting for a scribble, was a message that said that the picture had been taken on Roses eleventh birthday.

Jenny put the picture back where she had found it and made to look at the second photograph, when she looked at it she recognised the people in it instantly, It was a photo of Rose and the Doctor with their arms around each others waists and they were smiling at the camera. Rose was in her usual twenty-first century clothes and the Doctor was sporting one of his pinstripe suits with his long brown coat over it. He didn't wear those clothes anymore, as they reminded him too much of Rose. They were left in storage with all his other old outfits from past regenerations. Now he usually wore a simple old fashioned cream dress shirt, a brown leather jacket that went to his waist, a pair of old, worn dark blue jeans and a pair of trainers for shoes, instead of his converses.

She shook herself out of her thoughts again and then looked back at the photograph again, The Doctor was very different back then and definitely had a better fashion, when he was with Rose. They looked so very happy in the picture and Jenny found herself smiling at how happy they looked, as if their smile was contagious. She pulled this sacred picture out of its frame and stuffed it into her pocket, she just wanted to have one picture of the time when the Doctor was happy, to give her hope that the doctor could be like this again. Maybe someday he would be, she could only hope.

Then she hid the frame and proceeded to look through Roses clothes, many would call her nosey for doing this, but Jenny was really just curious at what Rose used to wear and as she looked through she realised that she loved Rose's fashion styles. Jenny looked down at herself in her second set of clothing and resolved to get the Tardis to create her some clothes a bit like Rose's, and soon because she currently only owned two sets of clothing, making a mental note to herself about this, Jenny quickly picket out a plain aqua blue tank top, a pair of black skinny jeans, a pretty plain, dark green, fabric jacket and some plain underwear and some multicoloured, striped, knee high socks and plain black trainers, surprisingly she was the same sizes as Rose and so she decided to borrow these few items as she was in desperate need of clothes until the Tardis could supply her own clothes for her.

Rose didn't seem like the type to be angry at her for borrowing these things, Rose seemed more like the type of person who would see her as a sister and would happily lend Jenny her things anyway, so Jenny didn't feel guilty for borrowing these things from her. After she had gathered the clothes together and held them in the crook of her left arm, Jenny closed the wardrobe doors and the dresser draws and went to the other side of the room to explore some more.

On this side of the room there was a pretty glass desk with a laptop on it and a small desk lamp, there was also a set of draws to the left of the desk and she opened them to find that this was where Rose kept most of her personal belongings. There was a jewellery box filled with pretty jewellery in there, and a makeup bag filled with different makeup and there was even a draw dedicated to hair things, she found this one the most interesting and took out the hair straightners and a beautiful black silk headband with a small blue bow on it, she didn't own anything like this herself and thought that no-one would mind her borrowing them until she could purchase her own on the next supply planet they came across when stocking up on stuff for the Tardis. Once a month the Tardis would land them on a supply planet for them to stock up on supplies, like food and tools and different interesting gadgets and new technology.

After putting all the things she was borrowing from Rose down on the comfy looking spinning chair at the desk, jenny noticed that one of Roses jackets was still hung on the back of the chair, as if it had been placed there carelessly and as if it would be moved later, but Rose had never come back to travel with the Doctor again after that day when she was taken to the parallel universe, and since she hadn't been back for a very long time, the last time she was on the Tardis, she didn't have time to take her stuff away with her before she had to leave the Doctor and the Tardis forever - which had been much to Rose's dismay. So everything had just been left in a temporary position, almost like it was stuck in time, or outside of time. At this thought jenny became quite sad that she would never get to meet Rose and that Rose would never get to travel with her and the Doctor. But she quickly wiped away this feeling of sadness as she put her strong façade back up that she had become accustomed to using around the Doctor to make everything seem all right.

She explored the last part of the room that she hadn't looked at closely yet, the far left corner from the doorway, here in this corner was a dressing table which was littered with many perfume bottles and different makeup and the long draw that was below the mirror was filled with hair clips and various bobbles and hair brushes. It was a pretty wooden table with a curved mirror attached to it, and it had a soft fabric stool tucked underneath. This looked like the place where Rose got ready in a morning and Jenny stared at it for a little longer before she noticed a strange loose panel on the side of the table, she fiddled with it for a minute until it opened and she put her hand in to explore, she felt something hard but covered in a soft furry material. Then she withdrew the unusual thing from it's secret hiding spot and found that it was a book covered in a blue fluffy material, along with it was a matching pen and Jennie's curiosity got the better of her.

She opened the book to the first page and looked at it in amazement, in big bold letters were the words, 'Rose Tyler's Diary, Keep Out Or Beware My Wrath', and underneath the big block writing was a small message, 'And That Means You Too Doctor! hehehe :") '. Jennie gasped, she had found Rose's secret diary, that was filled with everything about her, it was the perfect source of information. Now, Jenny wasn't one to pry in to another persons private thoughts, but she just had to know what Rose had written in there, so she buried it in the clothes she was borrowing and thought to herself, 'I will just borrow it, read it and then I will return it, that way I will know Rose really well and will know who she really was'. She felt slightly guilty at first, but as she closed the secret draw to the diary's hiding spot she became side tracked, she noticed a door that blended into the wall very well except for the golden handle that protruded out of the wall to show that there really was a door here.

She became very curious again - her curiosity was one of her traits that she inherited from the Doctor, well at least he used to be like that too- as to where it lead, so she pushed down on the handle and opened the door with a defiant creak from the hinges. She flicked the light switch on that was just inside the door, this was different to how she had entered the main room, where the lights had come on automatically and gradually. Jenny entered the small room and found that it was nothing very secret really, but it was still amazing, It was a small but very beautiful bathroom, The colours were the same as the ones in the bedroom, but instead of carpet, the floor was covered in white tiles. She glanced around the room to see there was a toilet, a pretty sink with a mirror above it,and a see-through cabinet that seemed to have Roses wash stuff in it was in one corner next to the wash basket and the sink. There was also a beautiful, big bath in the bathroom, it wasn't made out of the usual material either, it looked like it had been made from crystal, it was the same for the shower– it still had a white Kitty towel over it which seemed to have been slung there absent minded- it also seemed to be made of a pure white crystal and was placed in another corner of the bathroom, diagonal to the bath tub. Jenny gradually backed out of the room and closed the door, now she stood facing the huge wall mirror that dominated the wall opposite the doorway.

She was in deep thought, surely Rose couldn't have imagined this whole room up, the Tardis must have loved Rose a lot, like the Doctor, to give her a room like this. She knew that the Tardis saw her as family, like she did Rose, but the Tardis seemed to be grieving like the Doctor and hadn't seen any other room in the whole Tardis as beautiful and elegant as this, besides the doctors that is. Of course her own room was grand, but it was nothing compared to this room, which seemed to have been made for a goddess. Jenny was beginning to understand just how important Rose was and now that she had seen Rose's room she had a good idea of what she was like, to her Rose seemed gentle and kind and very loving, as well as beautiful and quite smart too. Now that she had Rose's diary she could find out even more about her, Jenny was beginning to feel like if she knew Rose then she would be able to understand the Doctors grief better. So she set herself an aim that she would find out as much about Rose as possible and try to help the Doctor get through the wallowing process.

Suddenly Jenny snapped out of her thought trance as she noticed a shadowy figure behind her reflection in the mirror. She swung around and there in the doorway stood a ghostlike figure, but it seemed odd, as ghosts weren't usually bathed in a gold light, it was more angelic if anything. A slight scream of surprise caught in her throat as she looked more closely at this apparition, it looked so much like the girl in the photo, it looked very much like Rose Tyler. But it wasn't possible, she couldn't be here, and why did she look like that, and better yet, why hadn't the Tardis alerted them to a mysterious presence aboard the Tardis.

Then something clicked in Jennie's brain, maybe the Tardis didn't alert anyone, because this presence was part of the Tardis, Rose had absorbed some of the time vortex in the past, which had eventually gone back into the Tardis, so what if this was actually the Tardis taking on Rose's form so that it could communicate with her, it was the only rational explanation she could come up with. But before she could ask the figure anything, it cried out to her, 'Please Jenny, save her, you have to save Rose Tyler, something terrible is going to happen and you have to help. I know what you think, and you have guessed right, I am the Tardis, I have come to you in this form to warn you. Something horrible is going to happen to Rose Tyler on the parallel Earth she is on, and even though there is no way of stopping it, you must get back to the real planet Earth, then you will know what to do. The Doctor tried to delete the Earth's co-ordinates from my memory banks, but i managed to save them, they are hidden away, please don't tell the Doctor, he is too filled with grief to understand. So when you get a chance to try to activate me i will automatically take you to earth, around six years after the Doctor left it behind forever and right where the rift is so that i can recharge. That is the best i can do, and that is all the information i have for you, the rest is up to you and the Torchwood team on earth, if you find them then i am sure you can figure everything out together. The problem is getting the Doctor to go along with everything in the end, you will have to come up with the answer to that. Good luck Jenny, when you have found the Torchwood team, i will appear to you again and give you more information. Goodbye for now Jenny.' With that said, the apparition of the Tardis as Rose disappeared and Jenny stood their taking everything in.

It took her a few minutes to remember everything that she had been told and she wrote it all down in the back of rose's diary as it was the closest thing. Jenny suddenly realised that she could be caught in here by the Doctor anytime now, and she knew that he would be mad at her for being in here, so she gathered everything from the chair and rushed out of the room, she closed the door gently only to see it disappear suddenly, she was shocked at first, but then realised that the Tardis must be hiding the room, from the Doctor and just for her to discover. Then she ran back to her room, through the winding hallways and many corridors of the Tardis, which she had come to know so well, and had memorised very well due to the amount of time she had spent exploring it.

A few minutes later she arrived at her room, which was quite far from the Doctor's room, but close to the control room. She slung everything down on her bed and immediately made to put the diary in her own secret hiding space, underneath a loose panel of wood beneath her wooden Tudor style four poster bed. She would read it later, but right now she had to hide the straightners so that the doctor wouldn't see them and she realized that she was supposed to go check on the Doctor soon, for their daily chat. They always sat down together a least once and talked about things. It was the Doctors way of trying to get to know her and for him to seem less depressed. So Jenny quickly had a shower and put her old clothes in the wash, while she was drying herself she set out the outfit she had borrowed from Rose's wardrobe, she had decided that If the Doctor asked where she had got the clothes from, she would just tell him that the Tardis conjured them up for her as she was in dire need of some good clothes.

Once she was dry she got dressed in the new underwear and long socks, then she proceeded to put on the aqua blue tank top, then she slipped the black skinny jeans on and the dark green jacket, and lastly she put the black trainers on. These clothes were very comfortable on her and she marvelled at them as she quickly straightened her hair, re-hid the straightners again and then she put the headband in her hair, she liked the headband a lot, and it was so plain that she knew the Doctor wouldn't recognise it was one of Rose's.

When she was ready she stepped back and looked at herself in the mirror, she really wanted some makeup like Rose's, so she put that down on the monthly shopping list that she kept at her desk.

When she was confident that she looked alright she slipped out of her room and crept along the Tardis corridors to the small and cosy living room that had sofas and comfy chairs in it which all surrounded an old but very good fireplace, it was the room next to the control room and that was where she found the Doctor, he was sitting in one of the grand armchairs near the fire and was staring in to the fire with his now dull and lifeless eyes. Jenny sighed to herself, she knew she couldn't do anything to stop his pain of loosing Rose. She strode in to the room and sat down in the armchair opposite him and when he looked at her, he had a smile on his face and for a second he looked like his old self again, happy and full of life, but it only lasted a moment, until he realised that she wasn't who he thought she was, it wasn't Rose, it was Jenny. Jenny smiled back at him, knowing what he must of thought and she looked at him with eyes filled with tears, because even though he hadn't smiled at her and it was only for a moment, she still loved his smile, it was the only time he showed his old warmth.

They sat in silence for a while until Jenny decided to strike up a conversation and after that they talked for hours about everything really, from the topic of how they both were doing right now, to the conversation about the distress signals that they had received from different planets lately. They kept talking with a light mood about them, until Jenny became so tired after her challenging day that she fell asleep in the chair. The Doctor allowed a small smile to escape for a moment and then he whispered 'Goodnight Jenny' , and he went back to watching the flames of the fire dance and keep on flickering and throwing shadows across the walls of the room.
