Interlude
The Eighth Doctor was curious. He had gotten a message from Romana, Rose was gone. She had left to go back to her original universe and probably would never return. He has known Rose since he was eight years old and he is really going to miss her because the two of them had gotten close in the hundreds of years since. What had gotten him curious was the message she had left with Romana for him, she had told him to be somewhere at a specific time and place and how could he resist something like that?
He arrived early enough to find the place was crawling with Autons, and they had a relay transmitter on the roof. The Doctor went down to the basement and found a man in an office dead, shot by Autons, this wasn't good he was going to need to do something about this and soon. He was stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a familiar voice only with a bit more cockney in the accent that it had lost over the years but the same none the less.
"Wilson! Wilson I've got the lottery money! Wilson are you there?" She called walking up to the office of the dead man he had locked behind him and rattling the door. "I can't hang about because they are closing the shop."
The Doctor's breath caught as he saw her, and his hearts started beating a funny rhythm in his chest, it looked like Rose only she was human, he had never thought to check if there was a Rose Tyler in this universe. She didn't see him hidden in the shadows watching her, but they both heard a noise, and she turned and started heading in that direction.
"Hello? Hello, Wilson it's Rose." She moved into a storeroom where they kept spare shop dummies and turned on the light. Not good was all the Doctor could think and followed still unseen. "Wilson?"
The Doctor walked though the door and it closed behind him while Rose was still calling for Wilson who he presumed must be the dead person. He heard Rose coming and hid he was still unsure of this Rose and he also didn't want the Autons seeing him. Rose ran to the doors and tried to open them but couldn't. As there was a noise further in the room Rose gave up and started tentatively moving in that direction and called out, "is that someone mucking about?" She walked a little further and shouted, "who is it?"
Suddenly the shop dummies started moving and Rose was momentarily transfixed watching them. It seems this Rose is just as jeopardy friendly as the one he grew up with. She started backing up and yelled, "OK I got the joke very funny. Who's idea was it, was it Derricks? Derrick is this you?"
She was well backed into the corner now where The Doctor was already hiding. Reminiscent of what happened a universe away a long time ago the Doctor grabbed her hand and was a little shocked to feel the electric tingle between them, but now wasn't the time to dwell on that, so he said one word, just one word, "run."
A/N: Now both universe's Doctors have a Rose :)
