Wellll, I decided to torture you just a bit more by making you wait to hear the problem. So, this chapter mostly revolves around Rose and the TARDIS. But, you do get a bit of a, how would you call it? Information? At the end of the story. I hope you enjoy the read, and, if your somewhere around in America and it's raining, it should complement the ending just a bit.
Also, I made a new page on facebook, it's called Consulting Time Travelers. It's a page for both Sherlock and Doctor Who lovers! I am looking for admins, btw! Hope you go and check it out!

Chapter 10
Rose had been sent home after she had awoken to find that Dr. Harkness had left to continue his travels and would no longer be her doctor, which, though she would never admit it, made her a bit sad. Her mother had taken her out for some lunch and had stopped by her and John's house to grab a couple of her things. She had managed to avoid most of the pictures which contained her, not wanting to think about what was currently happening to her. But, she had seen a very special photograph which took up most of the wall at the entrance. It had been their wedding photo. Rose was dressed in a strapless princess like wedding dress; the top was simple, but had delicate silver linings around the edge and the bottom had ruffles around the bottom. It was all tied together with a TARDIS blue ribbon on the back. Her long see through veil, which was attached to her complicated hairdo, was hanging back behind her. Her husband, John, on the other hand, stood beside her, dressed in a sleek black tux, his hand draping around her waist. They were both looking at each other lovingly whilst, behind them, a crowd was throwing red roses in the air. Rose's eyes had begun to water, pain striking her heart, before her mother had pulled her away to continue packing.
Now she laid in bed, sleeping soundly but was silently crying on the inside. "Remember," a voice whispered into her mind. Her eyes snapped open, but she wasn't in her bedroom anymore. She was in another room, not one she remembered, but felt comfortable sitting in. There was a huge glowing console in front of her, buttons and weird trinkets covered it. The walls were empty and plain blue, except for the yellow half circles on it.
"Hello," she asked nervously.
"Rose Tyler," a womanly voice, of obviously higher power, greeted, "My BAD WOLF."
She frowned. "What?"
A laugh echoed throughout a room as the console began to glow, projecting a woman around her thirties, dressed in a simple green gown, her hair done up crazily. "Don't frown dear, you'll get wrinkles," she said, smiling sweetly at her.
Rose smiled back, feeling unusually comfortable. "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm the TARDIS," she said. "And you, Rose Tyler, are my BAD WOLF."
"You keep saying that, but I think you've got the wrong person," she said, standing up from her chair and walking towards the projection. "I'm not bad wolf, I'm just Rose Tyler. A human being and a good human being at that."
The TARDIS laughed again. "I know you are, but you are also my BAD WOLF."
"I told you, I'm not whoever that it," she said, starting to get annoyed. "I'm just Rose Tyler." She stood in front of the projection. "I'm just Rose Tyler," she repeated in a quieter voice.
The TARDIS looked back at her sadly. "Oh, but sweetie, you're so much more. You're the stuff of legends; travelling around time and space, saving whole planets and worlds, loved by so many species…."
"No," she interrupted, backing up slightly. "That's not me. That's somebody else."
"It is you darling," she said affectionatively, as if she was her mother. "You have to trust me."
Rose looked at her, disbelieving everything she just said. "I-I-I can't," she whispered. "I don't even know you."
"You do," she said, walking towards her, her hands reaching out to touch her face gently.
The TARDIS' hand couldn't touch her for she was only a projection, but Rose could feel something warm sweep across her cheeks. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, looking at the projection.
"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault that you can't remember," she said, still caressing her cheeks.
Rose kept her eyes fixed upon the projection. "C-C-Can you help me remember," she asked, stuttering at her words.
She smiled at her. "Of course, close your eyes," she whispered.
She closed her eyes and gasped as her mind connected with the TARDIS'. A small blue door at the back of her mind slowly began to open, revealing the dark room within it. "No," Rose whispered, feeling the fear slowly flow through her veins.
"It's okay," she said, trying to calm her down. "It's just your memories."
She struggled to stay still as familiar monsters slowly crept out of the room, surrounding her, evil smiles upon their faces. "Rose Tyler," a robotic voice said. It had come from a robot like human, who was currently standing next to a gas masked child. Her breathing started to speed up, growing quicker and quicker by the minute.
"Who are you," she managed to ask.
They didn't answer; instead, they started to move towards her. Fear continually dripped through her veins, rushing quickly around her body. "I-I can't do this anymore," she yelled out.
There was one more thing trying to get out of the room, but was trapped in there before it could get out, its brown coat getting stuck on the door. "Rose," it yelled," let me in!"
She snapped her eyes open, ignoring what the voice had said, just hoping that she could get away from the monsters. She was back in the room with the projection and a frown was clear upon its face. "You ended it too early," The TARDIS said. "He wasn't able to get out."
"Let me out," Rose simply said. "Let me out of this nightmare!" She spotted a door on the wall, right behind the projection and quickly ran for it.
"Rose," the TARDIS yelled, but couldn't catch up with her.
She rushed out of the door and was snapped out of her sleep. She burst up from her pillow, now in a sitting position. Sweat dripped down the sides of her face and her veins were still filled with fear. The memory of the monsters hadn't disappeared and she was afraid that they would forever be stuck in her mind and right she was. Fear continued to rush through her veins, every noise making her jump.
But, she couldn't remember the voice that had called her name. She couldn't remember the man she had trapped in the dark room, the one wearing the brown coat, which was now stuck on the edge of the blue door.
She still couldn't remember the Doctor.

The Doctor burst out of his sleep as thunder echoed through his little hotel room, waking him up from his nap, which he had promised himself would only take 5 minutes. But, looking at the clock beside him, it had been 2 hours. He was never really good at keeping time, which was ironic because he practically controlled it.
"Oh my Rose," he suddenly whispered, remembering his dream. Well, it wasn't his dream; it was more of Rose's dream and the TARDIS'. He had seen all those monsters make their way towards her, but, she was oh so far and he was all the way at the back of the room. He wasn't able to make it out in time before the door was closed in front of him. He had cursed himself for not running to fast, but he knew it wasn't his fault; Rose had pushed him all the way to the back of her mind. "Maybe she doesn't want to remember me," he thought to himself. "But she has to if we want to solve this problem."
He laid back down and stared up at the ceiling, thoughts of his beautiful Rose slowly sneaking back into his mind.
