Hey guys! It's the new chapter!
The shits about to hit the fan.
"We should check your TARDIS since she brought you here," said Ten, wanting to check out the TARDIS. He walked towards the past TARDIS, and Rose walked towards him as well. Nine frowned, but opened the TARDIS doors nonetheless to let the pretty boy and Rose in.. He, himself, then went in, with Past Rose walking in beside him. Past Jack then looked at the rest and saw they weren't going in.
"Coming?" asked Past Jack nervously while pointing at the open doors. The sight of his future life was mind-boggling and he certainly still wasn't over it at all.
"No thanks sweetie," said River giving a flirtatious smile at Past Jack, at which Jack started laughing.
"We're going to be fine here," added Jenny.
"It may be bigger on the outside but, it would still be a bit congested if we all go in," said Sarah Jane with a smile.
"Right..." Past Jack trailed, shook his head and walked in.
Inside the environment was thick, filled with tension; mostly because Nine was glaring at Ten with suspicion. Ten seemed to ignore it and focused on the TARDIS, while Past Rose simply looked confused.
Rose, on the other hand, felt that this TARDIS seemed different. She seemed to be anxious and worried.
At this Rose frowned.
'What is it girl?' asked Rose telepathically at this past TARDIS. The past TARDIS seemed to recognize her and their connection because the lights brightened in the console room. She seemed pleased that Rose was here but still Rose felt that TARDIS was still worried.
Ever since she had looked inside the Vortex, it had drastically changed her relationship with the sentient ship. She could feel what ever the TARDIS was feeling, and could talk with her as well. At first, after the Doctor's regeneration, it was dim but as months passed the bond grew strong. Heck, she could even speak Gallifreyan now because that language was in the TARDIS's memory. Since she was literally a part of the TARDIS, she could translate and understand TARDIS more than even the Doctor could. When the Doctor had realized about this impossible occurrence, he had grumbled that his ship preferred her over him but he was pleased as well because this connection came with a benefit, a very fantastic benefit which had baffled the Doctor at first. Before she could get an answer from the TARDIS, she was distracted when she heard her past Doctor speak loudly.
"And how do you know so much?" barked Nine, not even bothering to hide the hostility any longer. Not only was he mad that this pretty boy would steal Rose away from him, he was also highly suspicious by him. He seemed smart, a little too smart. A normal human wouldn't be this good. He was so wrapped up in jealousy that he didn't even notice that Ten had two hearts and was definitely not human.
Rose rolled her eyes at the testosterone contest, it was a ridiculous sight really, they were the same person! Just two versions of the man she loved. She flicked her gaze at Past Jack and noticed he looked completely amused while her past self looked incredibly concerned for Nine. She decided to take charge and whistled. This affected them because both Doctors turned around and looked at her. Ten then turned back and looked at Nine, seeming to be determined but resigned as well. Rose noticed that expression and frowned, concerned.
Rose then tapped into Ten's head and her eyes went wide when read what was passing through his head.
'Wait! You're going to tell him?' she projected at him, completely gobsmacked at that.
Ten blinked at feeling her and then telepathically responded.
'It will come out one way or another. Besides, they will have to erase his memories anyway to preserve our present and their future,' he replied, and then breathed out.
"You'd think you'd be more co-operative considering it's your own wedding" muttered Ten as he looked at himself.
This surprised Nine and he looked at Ten as if he was insane. Past Rose and Past Jack looked visibly confused while the people of the future smiled, knowing what Ten was about to reveal.
Ten then brought down the mental barriers that he had put up to prevent Nine from sensing him, and waited. It took few seconds, but it certainly had the desired effect.
Nine froze up when he suddenly felt an echo of himself. His eyes narrowed but his gaze on Ten didn't falter.
"You-you're-"
"You! Yep, brilliant isn't it!" said Ten enthusiastically, his mood switching quite fast as his frown turned into a 100 watt smile.
"Wait, what?" asked Past Jack suddenly confounded. Past Rose saw the look on Nine's face and then at her future husband.
"What are you on about?" asked Past Rose, not wanting to be out of the loop.
Nine then looked at Ten's clothes then at Rose again. Rose was giving him an amused smile, her eyes sparkling. If what he was feeling was true, that would mean that Rose's groom was him! At this his mood switched fast as well, a nearly identical grin on his face and he laughed. The shock and surprise taking it's toll.
"Can't believe it took you so long, who else can be as manic as you," said Rose cheekily with a smirk in place as she waited for the reaction.
"Oi!" shouted Nine and Ten together looked at Rose, pretending to be offended.
"Would somebody let us in the loop?" questioned Past Rose and Past Jack seemed interested as well.
"He is the Doctor," revealed Rose as she pointed at Ten.
At this Past Rose blinked in confusion as did Past Jack. Past Rose opened her mouth and closed it, not sure what to say because she did not understand what her future self was saying. Past Jack looked at Rose dubiously and then looked at Rose's groom, who she claimed was the Doctor.
"Rosie I think you might be wishful thinking but there is no way your pretty boy is the Doctor..." said Past Jack pointing.
At this Rose looked at Past Jack, even more amused at his sentence while Ten and Nine looked incensed. Nine mostly because Past Jack was calling his future self a pretty boy, regardless of the fact that he, himself calling Ten a pretty boy as well.
Past Rose then whacked Past Jack, at which he protested.
Ten decided to speak up.
"It's actually a Time Lord trick. When we are close to dying, we regenerate all the cells in our body and change, completely. Most times we can choose what we look like, and since I had ten minutes to spare when I was regenerating, I had a rough idea what I wanted to look like," said Ten, pointing at himself.
Past Jack's jaw was on the floor while Past Rose's eyes were wide open in shock. She looked at Nine, but Nine did not seem to protest at all. Which meant that what her groom to be was saying, was actually true. At this she suddenly blushed because it was true, that meant that she was getting married to the Doctor!
Nine was taking the news in a very good stride. All jealousy vanished when he realized that it was he who was marrying her. Although he was extremely surprised that in the future he would actually take such a big step in his relationship with Rose. He knew that his feelings for her ran deep. Heck he would move heaven or earth to keep her safe but because of her humanity he had decided to keep his feelings under wrap. Nonetheless, he was happy that he wouldn't in the future.
He observed his future self and noticed that he was happy, very happy. He saw the look in his eyes, it was still slightly haunted but it didn't carry as much sadness as he currently was carrying. He smiled, he knew that his life with Rose would be brief but at least it would be enjoyable.
Past Jack pulled up his jaw and composed himself. He then remembered about a young blonde and looked at Rose and the future Doctor.
"Hold on, does that mean Jenny is-"
"Our daughter, yep. How else do you think she is blonde? He certainly isn't" said Rose as she pointed both of their hair.
At this Nine and Past Rose's eyes went wide, that realization settling in. Not only did he have a daughter, he had his daughter with Rose. He looked at Past Rose, who looked thunderstruck.
Past Jack smirked playfully now as he looked at Rose.
"But Rosie, you are not a natural blonde," he said playfully.
"I wasn't when I was her," said Rose pointing at her past self "But I certainly am now, take a look," said Rose pointing at her blonde locks.
Out of all the perks she had gained after looking at the heart of the TARDIS, this was the one she loved the most, she was a natural blonde now. She didn't need to dye it anymore. In fact, it was after she had been stuck in Pete's World, did she realize she was naturally blonde. Missing the Doctor and trying to find a way back home meant that she did not have time to keep re-dying it, so she noticed it when she was still perfectly blonde, even though she hadn't re-dyed it in six months.
Nine, Past Jack and Past Rose all looked at Rose and then gasped when they noticed that Rose wasn't joking. Rose's hair was completely blonde, there was no sign of brown roots.
"But-how?" asked Nine confused.
"That's brilliant!" exclaimed Past Rose, excited at that occurrence.
"A thing that happens," said Rose waving her hand at that. She then concentrated on the past TARDIS again. She frowned at the feelings she was getting from the TARDIS.
"There's something wrong with this TARDIS, she's worried about something," said Rose looking at Ten.
Ten heard what Rose said and tried to feel this TARDIS's feelings as well and came to the same conclusion. Nine checked and then became confused at what Rose said.
"How can you feel what the TARDIS is feeling?" asked Nine with caution. Even he wasn't that much in tune with the sentient.
"That's because she is the heart of TARDIS," said Ten casually as he put on his glasses.
"..."
"She's-WHAT?"
How was it? Good? Bad?
Please review and let me know. Next chapter will be in few weeks.
