Not mine. Sorry.

CHAPTER 10

Bad Wolf had a great idea. She told it to the War Doctor, and allowed him to pass it off as his. To her immense relief, the others thought that the plan was brilliant! Every face of the Doctor returned. Gallifrey was surrounded by TARDISes, and together, the Doctors moved Gallifrey from this universe into a pocket universe where everyone could continue to live in peace. The daleks destroyed each other (well, except for the one that ended up in Van Stratten's museum, the Emperor, the cult of Skaro, and the others who survived to torture the Doctor in the future). Rassilon had wanted to rule the universe, and now he could: just a much smaller one than he had intended. Victorious, the War Doctor and Doctors Nine through Eleven returned to the National Gallery and spoke with the curator (who looked oddly familiar) who told them that the painting of Arcadia was entitled "Gallifrey Falls No More". Their mission was a success!

"Great work, Doc!" Jack said, slapping the War Doctor on the back.

Clara have him a big hug.

"It wasn't my idea, not really." He said. Jack and Clara bade everyone farewell and boarded their appropriate TARDIS. The War Doctor looked at the others. "It was her idea. Oh, Bad Wolf girl, I could kiss you!"

"What'd you just say?" Nine asked. Those words had been following him around.

"Did you just say, Bad Wolf girl?" Ten asked, in complete disbelief.

"Oh, you sneaky little devil you!" Eleven remarked with glee. "Now it makes sense!"

"Maybe when you're older," Bad Wolf replied, cheekily. She snapped her fingers, making herself visible to everyone in the room. She addressed her Doctors, whose jaws had hit the floor. "Hello boys!"

Eleven was the first to find his voice. "Alright, exactly what point of my timeline have you been pulled from?"

She flashed her left hand, showing him that she wrote his ring. "I am the Bad Wolf. I exist outside of time, and yet within. I am, at this moment, waiting on the TARDIS with Jack, for that part of the timeline had frozen since you jumped through the fissure" here she looked at Nine. "Trapped in a parallel world and working to find my way back, and I will come back very soon" she said, looking at Ten. "And after you told me that I couldn't come through the fissure, I decided to go do some shopping." She smiled at Eleven, who groaned at the word "shopping". He hoped the TARDIS was big enough to hold her purchases.

"Wait just a minute, Rose. You're Bad Wolf?" Nine asked, surprised, and a bit impressed.

"But... it's just... impossible!" Ten stuttered.

"Really, you've lived for how long? And you have known me since when? And you still think that this is impossible!" She walked over to him and placed her hand on his cheek. "I promised you forever, and I never break my promises."

"But" he said, glancing at the others out of the corner of his eye, "I lost you." Tears had begun to form in his eyes. She pretended she didn't notice. He hated being caught in an emotional state.

"Doctor, do you remember what I told you on Bad Wolf Bay?" He nodded. The tears began to fall. She brought her other hand to his face, and wiped them away with her thumbs. "It's true. That will never, ever change. I'm coming back to you! And when I do, I'm never, ever going to leave you again!" He looked at her in awe.

"Yeah, I can't get rid of her!" Eleven joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Oh, hush! You like me!" She teased back, flashing him her famous grin.

"Yeah, I do!" He grinned back.

She turned back to Ten, whose face she still held. "It's been so long for me since I last saw this face." She smiled up at him. "Who are you traveling with these days?" The absence of a companion for Ten had not gone unnoticed.

"I had been traveling with Martha Jones, but she left the other day. I guess I spent to much time comparing her to you. Now I'm alone again."

She turned to Eleven. "Do you remember anything of this conversation?"

He shook his head. "Nope. Side effect of having multiple versions of me in the room. Only the oldest present ever remembers. That's what's happened before, at least."

"Then I can issue spoilers without looking for Reapers" she said and turned back to Ten. "Donna will find you again very soon, and you'll travel with her awhile. Then..." here she paused. "Then I'll be back! Here's a preview of coming attractions." And she kissed him. Oh how she had missed those lips! She loved kissing Eleven, but it was like Ten's lips were made just for her. Ten was surprised at first, his eyebrows had jerked up. But that was short lived and he gladly reciprocated the kiss with a hunger that reminded Rose of their first kiss that for her was so long ago.

Eleven cleared his throat. She turned to him. "Jealous of yourself, much?" She teased. He grinned back at her, sheepish.

Nine had stayed quiet during this whole exchange, but had watched and listened with great interest. She now turned to him. "Speaking of a long time since I last saw a face." She smiled, cupping his face in her hands. "When is it for you?"

Nine found that it was difficult for him to speak, having witnessed his future self kissing his beautiful Rose. He cleared his throat. "WWII. London. Nanogenes. Jack." He was quite unable to form a complete sentence, so staggered he was by the night's revelations.

"The night that everybody lived!" She cried. "Oh my Doctor! That was such a good night for you, for us! I'm glad you've come to this point after such a happy time!"

"I couldn't have done it without you." He choked on the words. She had never called him "my Doctor" before. He rather liked the sound of it. It was like he belonged to her somehow, but instead of making him feel trapped like he thought it might, he felt free! "So. Last time I checked, you were just a human. A most fantastic human, I might add, but still just a human. Explain to me Bad Wolf. It's not like I'm going to remember anyway. So tell me."

So she told him what she knew. How he'd sent her away, and how she had opened the TARDIS and looked into her heart. How she had destroyed the daleks and brought Jack back to life. How he'd had to regenerate to save her. "I'm so very sorry about that part," she whispered.

"From the sound of things, you saved me! You could have died in the process, Rose! What on earth were you thinking?!"

"I love you." She said, simply. All three of her Doctors gasped. No matter how many times she'd told Eleven that she'd loved him from the start, he never truly believed her until now. She addressed them all. "I guess I always have. From the moment you first grabbed my hand and told me to run, I knew that I would run with you anywhere. Anytime, even." She turned back to Nine. "You were the face I fell in love with."

"Rose Marion Tyler. You are the most fantastic human I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And I..." He looked into her eyes. He was unable to finish his sentence, but she understood. She laughed, leaned in and gave him his own "preview of coming attractions". She had never kissed those lips before (that she remembered at least), but had dreamed of it many times. Oh, those dreams had paled in comparison to the real thing!

"By the way" she said, addressing the room. "Bad Wolf has also extended my lifetime and slowed my aging. I'm 320 now and still show no signs of slowing down!"

"Still just a baby though!" Eleven remarked as the others gazed at her in amazement - and love. She hadn't expected to see love in the eyes of her younger Doctors, but was so pleased that she did!

The War Doctor had watched these exchanges quietly, preferring to blend into the background rather than be noticed. But he couldn't resist asking his Bad Wolf girl one thing. "Do you have any other previews of coming attractions you might like to, uh, share?"

She laughed. "Technically, we haven't even met yet!"

"Does it matter?"

"Are you the Doctor?"

"Am I?" He turned to the others. They all nodded, wondering what was about to happen. "I guess I am, then."

"Well then, Doctor. I wouldn't want you to feel left out." And she kissed him as well.

Blushing, he turned to leave. "Looks like I have a lot to look forward to." He looked at the four TARDISes lined up against the wall. "Um... which one is mine?" The others pointed to it. "Very well, then. I very much look forward to seeing/being you!" As the TARDIS dematerialized, they heard him remark "Oh that makes sense. I am wearing a bit thin."

"He's turning into me!" Nine grinned. "That probably means that that's my cue. I've got things to do! Places to see!"

"Planets to save!" Rose laughed before embracing him in a hug. "I'll miss you!"

"What? When I turn into such dashing specimens?" He said, grinning at his future selves. "I'll see you soon, Rose. Glad to know that my future is in such good hands." With that, he was gone.

Ten looked at her quizzically. He had seen the flash of something shiny on her left hand as she had hugged Nine goodbye. He gestured to her hand. "Spoilers!" She teased. "Oh, I guess you wouldn't have met River yet, so you don't get the joke. Then let it be known that I said it first! Let's just say that I'm going to be around for awhile." He kissed her then, and she gladly reciprocated.

"I'm not going to remember this at all?" He asked Eleven who nodded, sadly. "Then, I don't want to go!"

But he went anyway, as he should. Rose and Eleven were all that remained. "Rose, you are brilliant!" He was so touched by what she had done for his part selves, what she had done for him. He kissed her passionately before hand in hand they boarded the TARDIS, where Clara was patiently waiting.
