11 smiled and looked over at Rose, Geronimo, he whispered mentally.
"So!" He said trying to stay positive. "We just follow this hallway till we get to the others,"
Rose nodded.
The Doctor whisked off down the halls not paying attention to his former companion.
Rose silently walked along behind the Time Lord. He's so different, she thought, so tall and quite, her thoughts ran to the 10th Doctor who was probably babbling off on which way to go and what to do.
Her thoughts snapped back to reality when she tripped over a pipe that laid on the floor. She was about to fall face first into the metal floor when something caught her. She looked up to see 11's shocked face, as if he did it by accident.
He quickly lifted her to her feet and checked around to see if she was ok when Rose locked eyes with him. There was a moment of silence when they just stared into each others eyes. Her past is my future, 11 remembered those similar words used by River. He had always been annoyed of her knowing what happens next, it was nice being on top of things, at least it would be.
Suddenly The Doctor broke the silence, "So...are you ok?"
Rose's face fell from disappointment, hopping that he would have talked to her. "Yeah, thanks."
11 cleared his throat, "Well, let's get going then," the Time Lord replied awkwardly.
They walked along the corridor without saying a word. Rose had stayed behind the confident Gallifrain for the past few minutes, but curiosity about this new regeneration got the better if her.
She slowly came inline with the Doctor's pace. She'd toss short glances up at him but he wouldn't return them.
Finally she spoke, "What's wrong?"
The Time Lord looked surprised by the question, "W-what do you mean?"
"You just look so, I don't know," The blond sadly looked up at him.
"I'm fine" He replied coldly. This was the exact situation he was trying to avoid, conversation with Rose.
"Then why do you look sad?" Rose was pushing the stubborn Galifrain to answer. "Is it because of me?"
The Doctor stopped, and looked into her eyes, Rose caught a glance of his face turning red before he turned away. "No, it's because of me."
They walked a littles longer as Rose tried to figure it out. "Is it because you lost your friends? Don't worry, I'm sure the younger you can handle it."
The Time Lord slowly shook his head.
"Then why don't you talk to me? Did I do something? Did I say something?"
The Doctor just walked on.
"What is it then!" Rose was becoming angry, "it's me isn't it! Why? What's wrong with me?" She was then cut off by the Doctor's outburst.
"It's not you it's me! It's my fault! Don't you see? It's all mine! If I got the chance to go back in time and fix it I would do it in two heart beats, but I can't! Every time I look at you I see my failure! And I know your out there happily living out your life and I'm alone!" The Time Lord's face was bright red with a single tear forming in the corner of his eye that he quickly whipped away.
The Doctor's rage slowly softened into a deep sadness.
Rose stood there bewildered looking into his dark green eyes. Rose felt so sorry although she wasn't sure why, she raced over and wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his shoulders.
The old Gallifrain stood there, he'd been so surprised to have her hug him that he wasn't sure how to react. It was just like the other times she used to hug him. Suddenly, without even knowing he gripped her closer to him.
They stayed like that for a few minutes just hugging one another in complete silence. Both let out little cry of relief, Rose because she knew that in the future the Doctor still cares for her, and the Doctor because he just has his Rose in his arms again.
Suddenly the Doctor stiffened, he gripped Rose firmer, trying to keep balance.
"Doctor?" Rose asked as the Time Lord suddenly let go of her and gripped the wall trying to breath. He gasped and grabbed at his chest when he suddenly collapsed.
Rose raced toward him screaming, "Doctor!"
